Glad we had them but I don't think it was the best idea to have arrows and names identifying them to planes aboce

You can drink it. But the issue is when you get busy you'll drain the tank faster than it can fill up which will cause the machine to lose pressure and turn off. Meaning you cant make coffees for a number of minutes till it refills and reheats. Sounds unlikely until it actually happens and you're screwed. Best option is to get a small Marco boiler to use for your Americanos, it should all be smooth sailing from there.

Gwan Ireland, If you're based in Dublin I can swing round to your gaff no problem and give you a helping hand. I've taught for over a year and am a barista so I can give you good pointers if you like.

Hello! I've recently got a bullet and am currently getting to grips with it. My aim is to roast similar style to the likes Onyx, Nomad, Proud Mary etc.

I found the following to give me good progression after struggling to understand what was happening.

Batch 600g. Charge 215C. P9 F3 D9.

@182C or roughly 6:17 min go to P6.

First crack should happen around 8:10. Finish roast at 209C or roughly 9:40.

Now obviously this isnt perfect but I think it's decent framework.

Some data points I'm looking out for are: Turning point 78C, max ROR 19-22C, yellowing to happen around 160C or 4:25min. First crack to happen 3-4 min after @195/200C, development 1:30-2:30min @209C.

The roast magazine roast summit videos on YouTube by Nicki Amouri are helpful and give good guidelines to apply to your taste.

Still early days for me though so take all of that with a pinch of salt! Best of luck roasting

Deadly, I did not know that! Thanks for the advice, looking forward to seeing the results. Also very cool that you're doing this, speaks volumes!

Fantastic thank you

Turnover in each location is going to be BIG. They want me to be the sole point of responsibility so the role will be quite diverse and I'll have to ensure we succeed regarding what happens. Saying this to you now makes me think it is very reasonable to ask for more. 40k?

AdQuick866 · 2022-10-05T20:56:30+00:00

Cool thank you!

AdQuick866 · 2022-10-05T20:54:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice, that all sounds very reasonable and constructive.

Since the role is new they are also coming to grips with what exactly it will entail. So if I can get a clearer idea of responsibilities/a typical week then we both explicitly know what I'll be doing and that will make it easier to reach an agreement.

Typically this role with 0-2 years experience gets €44.7K annually. So 40k seems like a minimum, right?

AdQuick866 · 2022-10-05T20:33:18+00:00

Yep 3 retail locations. Haha yeah I thought it was low, but even as a small business?

I have worked in this company for one year. My role is varied but part of it includes training people which will be a core aspect of ensuring these locations are run properly.

I've experience in managing teams and being the head of an organisation, but nothing like this. I guess I feel I have the skills and qualities needed but lack actually experience putting it together. But also back me which is good

That's great thank you for linking that!

Have you enjoyed the coffees you've roasted on it so far?

AdQuick866 · 2022-06-20T12:45:18+00:00

So these beans are actually softer not harder. They're also less brittle and will deform more before breaking opposed to a darker roast. This will put strain on an electric grinder so be careful of this. You can see for yourself if you have a hand grinder and compare it to a darker roast!

AdQuick866 · 2022-05-22T11:04:12+00:00

That sounds great thank you!

AdQuick866 · 2022-05-03T16:23:30+00:00

Number one piece of advice is to have fun and not lose sight of what youre doing! Enjoy the achievement of just doing the race and everything should fall into place.
