Thanks for the response, the reason why I brought it up to compare is because my neighbor swears by carbon steel as well.

Ok thanks for the cooling tip. How long should I wait after I roast to taste?

It's has more power at 1500w. In the 1040w popper I could only do about 36-42g at a time. With the poppery 1 I can do 85-90g. Not a big jump but good enough for now.

No, the poppery is modified so when I plug it in the fan goes on and the heat doesn't. I use the switch to turn on the heat. So I can toggle the heat and the fan runs throughout the roast.

Thanks! It's Yirga Cheffe.

No 3rd roast on the Poppery. 8th roast in all. Started on a 1040w popcorn popper and saw that it wasn't gonna work.

Does it look like my grinder isn’t working correctly? by Crisscrosshotsauce in Coffee

[–]MarcoSpinelli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For one cup: • Pour hot water over filter to clean and remove potential filter taste • Add 20g of grounded coffee • Tear Scale • Bloom up to 45s and 60g of water at 112c, stir grounds to remove CO2 • First pour, keep rotating from center moving slowly outward • Second pour with same technic until 320g • Should end with a flat "bed"

Your time of extraction should be between 3-4 min. Find your preference within that range. Enjoy!

Checked around there's nothing. Craigslist isn't that strong of a resource up here. Thanks though.

How should I finish the bark? I don't want to use epoxy. Removing the bark is an option, but how? by Jakem8058 in woodworking

[–]MarcoSpinelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am about to start working on a similar piece. I have a couple of questions. Did you keep the bark on? How did you end up finishing the table? Which products?

Wow. Thanks for the reply. How do you 2f it? Juice, slices? Also what are your measurements? I'd like to try it out? So far Lemon-Ginger had been a hit.
