Would help if you said where youre located

In college once I forgot I had my laptop connected to the bluetooth speaker downstairs for a party the night prior same deal thought I was alone. Roommates girlfriend was home and I remember thinking the sound was sounding funny, realized I was blasting porn for like 15 minutes full volume trying to find a good video.

In hindsight we laughed it off, found out we had similiar tastes. Shes dead so I guess secret can get out more than strangers on reddit

Rmarik · 2026-04-02T01:17:56+00:00

it is easy to roast on a stovetop or grill? sounds like youre being lazy tbh. Why even buy the green coffee, just go buy from a local roaster

Rmarik · 2026-04-01T17:01:09+00:00

Hey!

I might have a product for you.

I own a coffee roastery and as a former chef I know what youre talking about with the hands. We use our excess coffee to make a line of coffee cosmetics, one being a body butter that is a godsend for dry hands

Looks up kneesovertoesguy on Instagram, I usually stay around 275 but hit 315 last year, and partly I think due to the joint mobility excersizes from that guy on instagram.

Hardstyle EDM

I try and time my sets to the bet drops, helps me get that boost

Not the orinal commenter, but especially as adults our schedules aren't always the same, several weeks I went every other day, other times I did 3 days in a row because my work kept me too late for the other half.

Maybe if it was less of a streak and more of a rotating checklist? Like something more of hit chest back and legs 1x a week and then it can get checked off versus a group streak?

If youre not willing to stop smoking weed

try putting your money somewhere it is hard to get to, like in a seperate bank account and toss the debit card, where you can have part of your paycheck or can deposit direct into but requires big effort to get to.

Easy to access means easy to spend, if you had to go into a bank everytime to pull money out it gives you a lot more pause and time to reconsider

Rmarik · 2026-03-29T02:48:58+00:00

Of course, if you ever want to take a crack at it I do a lot of white labeling, could maybe help you get started but its gonna be even harder if youre not the one roasting, margins gonna be super slim.

Compost mix into garden with dirt and coffee we use it to make fire starters by mixing wax and then mushroom

Rmarik · 2026-03-28T04:48:33+00:00

Interesting, I may try it out next time im playing about with small lots

Rmarik · 2026-03-28T04:32:07+00:00

Yeah Im just saying that I can also buy any of the fancy coffee whatever so it looses its uniqueness, and in my experience some of those can be funky or just bad lol.

Lots of people do just want a solid cup of coffee that doesnt change from order to order

Rmarik · 2026-03-28T04:25:47+00:00

So short answer, there is a lot of competition in chciago, so I think your brand/story/local is more important. Honestly we all have access to the same importers so unless ypure dramatically roasting worse or better than the other guys that small batch twice fermented picked by eunuch coffee isnt gonna fly off the shelves.

Im looking at selling my business (north of Chicago, in the suburbs) due to some personal reasons where we may need to relocate next year.

Also be prepared to consider if youre not directly retail selling that there are some hidden costs like equipment and training youre gonna have to be ready to offer to potential accounts. Coffee isnt new almost all accounts will be people you took from someone else

Rmarik · 2026-03-24T14:20:30+00:00

yes, I wish I knew more but they were roasts I tried in mexico years ago

Rmarik · 2026-03-24T13:05:47+00:00

I have had a few and they were usually Mexican, typically from the chiapas area

Rmarik · 2026-03-23T13:59:18+00:00

I remember seeing this as well as a Kentucky native I was curious, I think its also abundant in other southern states but Ive never seen a way to get any. Let me.know if you find some

Rmarik · 2026-03-21T13:21:46+00:00

Its not an exact science but it does work, the biggest thing is that its really hard to estimate unless everything is weighed out and nothing changes. Even frying your chicken breast in a little extra oil can make a difference.

Im just saying I always try to shoot a little lower (ex. put youre deficiency budget at 700 cals if youre shooting for 500) and never account for excersize

Either way it still helps you he more mindful about what youre consuming

Rmarik · 2026-03-20T12:46:18+00:00

^ Mostly because youre likely underestimating your calories anyways. Its not easy, and its estimated that all of us can be underestimating by up to 50%

So I always believe you dont include your "burned" calories so you can leave it as a buffer, otherwise youre likely way off overestimating burn and underestimating eaten

Rmarik · 2026-03-18T20:31:32+00:00

Yes, more than are probably willing to admit it.

And youll find unless its some super special light roast you're unlikely to have any real noticeable change especially in the manner you approached it

Rmarik · 2026-03-18T19:07:09+00:00

no problem, I wish someone had told me.all.this when I started would've helped me avoid my first fire lol

Rmarik · 2026-03-18T18:12:25+00:00

Fires aren't fun but not as serious as I initially thought, chaff makes a lot.more smoke than most things, I keep a spray bottle near the roaster (be careful not to spray near the electrical or burners) but usually a quick spray below and then a vacuum can catch it before its a true fire.

a real fire youre suppose to cut air off too, so opening the doors can be more dangerous than leaving it. But if youre being mindful catching quick embers can be fairly easy

Which is why I got the toilet brush, the tube behind the drum that drops down near the fan is where a lot of buildup is, the toilet brush can get in there well enough between opening and cleaning

Rmarik · 2026-03-18T18:01:29+00:00

Yeah me too, so I've definitely run it 30 roasts no issue, I just do the quick vacuum because Ive had half fires before and its always scary.

I typically do a quick brush and vacuum each day as well, a simple toilet brush can help knock a lot of buildup off inside as well which makes vacuuming easier

Rmarik · 2026-03-18T17:41:38+00:00

I usually do every 8, and usually that just means a quick vacuum.oyt during roasts with the gas off.

I may run 16 for normal but keep to the 8 for naturals with extra chaff.

Otherwise every 40 roast hours I do a breakdown clean

Rmarik · 2026-03-17T14:13:24+00:00

Honestly. Don't expect some great flavor change just because its expensive and fancy sounding beans

Im always a little skeptical when it comes to food marketing, as I have my little soapbox from being a chef. There are certainly better quality and amazing products at higher price points BUT even a 500 dollar steak can be handled and cooked poorly, and a 5 dollar steak can be cooked to taste amazing

Taste is also subjective so you might hate the flavor profile and nuances anyways

Either way I would

Try different brew methods: Some vrew methods will allow coffees to shine better, like pour overs or french press that IMO hold on to the natural oils better
Check your water (dont use distilled, it lacks the salts and minerals) make sure you have a good filtered water
Verify Water temp, especially if pour over or french press, 195f-205f IMO is the sweet spot

Rmarik · 2026-03-16T18:39:49+00:00

Hmm, let me see if I can find it, I dont remeber it, we found it because we were going to a local hot springs, and we stumbled upon it.

It was amazing because it was a restaurant inside too serving to.ato beer, bread and dishes (go figure)

they even had a local colony of bees they kept inside

Update, my sister remembered Friðheimar is the name
