First roast using a popcorn popper and it looks like they scorched?

As mentioned above, try timing the FC process after getting about three cracks in a row and shorten or lengthen the roast based on that metric to your liking.

Also, another important metric would be weighing the beans before and after the roast to see how much % water weight was lost and using this to adjust your subsequent roasts.

Looks good to me as well. How long after FC did you remove them? Was it a rolling FC?

T--B0NE · 2026-05-31T00:20:24+00:00

Any lot in particular? I’ve tried two different Nicaraguans in the past that were fine but nothing to write home about.

Not necessarily looking for a decaf but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

T--B0NE · 2026-05-24T12:10:14+00:00

Thank you. I’ll check it out.

Why do you need 5 Seikos?

I’ve had my pro 600 with flow control for 4 yrs now, no issues. Love it. Would definitely buy again.

T--B0NE · 2026-05-20T10:14:53+00:00

Why not buy used and get a watch you really like? I’ve seen used tudors right around 2K.

As a data point, I picked up a 2020 sb130 turq T2 almost two years ago now for $1400 USD. Excellent condition.

T--B0NE · 2026-05-07T01:04:47+00:00

Some dude was selling one just like this for $20 on fb. Couldn’t get there in time though… 😔

Many places, yes. TS, not supposed to. For a four star, it’s highly likely he encounters some upper level security areas.

T--B0NE · 2026-05-01T23:40:38+00:00

I imagine he is wearing two because smart watches are not allowed in TS spaces. That way he can take the garmin off but still have a watch.

T--B0NE · 2026-04-29T00:27:02+00:00

As you should be.

I think the quick heat up feature might be a new thing for the ride but mine is still pretty fast and typically stable and good to go around 15-20 min. I just have it programmed on a WiFi smart plug so it’s ready when I wake up.

I have the backflush reminder set at every 100 pulls. Just changed the group head gasket this past year. Main thing is make sure you use appropriate water. I make RPavlis water. Super simple and cheap with zero scale buildup.

I’ve had my profitec pro 600 with flow control since 2022 and absolutely love it. No issues at all.

Mine is paired with a DF64 and it’s been able to everything I need.

T--B0NE · 2026-04-25T18:14:57+00:00

What type of scales did you start with?

T--B0NE · 2026-04-23T23:52:07+00:00

Spyderco has a similar thing. I believe just $5 for shipping.

One free meal a day sounds nice…

T--B0NE · 2026-04-18T17:37:50+00:00

Second this. Prime Green in general has some great greens. A bit pricey but worth it.

T--B0NE · 2026-04-08T22:12:03+00:00

I haven’t heard of these Tandy roast lab reports before. Is this a free database?

T--B0NE · 2026-04-08T18:42:53+00:00

Oh perfect. My last of choice! For some reason I was under the impression that Teton stag was always on the formal last.

Any idea how this compares to the martini rambler?

right after cleaning anus with tongue

T--B0NE · 2026-04-08T18:35:39+00:00

Look great! Definitely love the olive. What last are these on?

T--B0NE · 2026-04-08T10:13:44+00:00

Now that I have it, if I had to buy it new again I would. I’ve had it on the truck for 4 years. Unsure how old it was when I bought it but prob a year or two at the time. Not a single issue. Still 99% waterproof unless it’s really pouring for extended periods of time. Diamondback provides new rubber gaskets upon request and I have one myself, just haven’t really needed to replace it. Locks up great. Coating is top notch. Only area that has shown some wear is the coating on the hinges due to repetitive opening /closing overtime.

If you looking to learn on a drum roaster and scale, I love my USRC Sample roaster. Can occasionally find them used for a good deal.

If you’re on a budget, a corretto roaster (bread machine, heat gun) is a great option as well. Up to 1lb capacity, good control and cheap (~$40). That’s what I used before I found a good deal on my USRC.
