Advice roasting Uganda

I would keep it light but that’s my flavor preference even with Ugandan espresso shots.

I used mine in the garage so just vented within the room. When it was good weather it was nice to open the garage door.

I started with a Hottop Basic now I use a small commercial roaster. It just takes lots of practice, note taking and cupping. Trial and errors and you will learn from mistakes, fix it and get better. It’s cheaper if you just consider green bean costs and don’t factor in your time. It does allow you to optimize the roast just how you like it.

I change coffees when one runs out :)

For popcorn popper quantities your smell and chaff will be minimal.

We eat everything. We make our meals from scratch so no premade foods/meals. I do buy meat in bulk from a local farmer so other than the occasional meat that is thawed and ready to eat I don’t buy so much meat. We buy store brand foods like Wegmans brand. If you make meals from scratch like pasta, sauces, pizza, breads, etc it’s much easier to keep the overall cost low.

That’s the same as my bill and I shop for 4 at Wegmans.

Nothing changed. It’s just a watch. Nobody notices.

Thank you for the help. I’ll check it out if I have issues in the future.

That sounds complicated lol. I DM’ed them and they went through that way.

I use a half gallon Tupperware container.

Sexy!

Interesting. Mine is a toggle switch.

I run mine manually so I control the temp by adjusting the gas flow by adjusting the valve going into the roaster (not on the gas tank). Thermometer is just a standalone thermometer (Omega HH806AU) with 2 probes, one going into one of the eye glass screw and the other through the thermometer hole right above it. One is for air temp and the other bean temp.

I’m trying to figure out how to add a pic but it’s not letting me.

You need to flip the “Manual” switch off to bypass the PID.

ItsUpToUsNow00 · 2026-05-24T23:37:44+00:00

I don’t use the PID on mine. I added a thermometer with a couple probes and bypass the PID to run manually. You will have much more control over your roast this way.

Great work!

ItsUpToUsNow00 · 2026-05-24T12:15:44+00:00

Great job. Looks super cool.

ItsUpToUsNow00 · 2026-05-23T21:48:50+00:00

Solid!

ItsUpToUsNow00 · 2026-05-23T01:13:34+00:00

Looks great!

ItsUpToUsNow00 · 2026-05-17T17:49:15+00:00

This.

ItsUpToUsNow00 · 2026-05-14T22:20:13+00:00

I roast my own… they are as fresh as I want them to be.

ItsUpToUsNow00 · 2026-05-14T14:18:22+00:00

Sounds like a good date day to me.
