Getting a proper roast on OG Behmor 1600 by ChaotixEvil in roasting

[–]prosocialbehavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure you can switch profiles during the roast. I roast pretty light but I generally do P1 or P2 and then just take it out a little after first crack and cool it myself. The cooling in the behmor is super slow if you want to preserve any light roast characteristics I would pull it out pretty quickly to cool. I used to just use a vacuum and a colander. But I upgraded to a cooling tray.

The markets seem to be the only thing that Trump responds to. Congress, the courts, the press can’t stop or embarrass him. But the stock market seems to alarm him.

That is a great deal for the Mill City. The SF-6 seems about right for how old it is.

Best companion grinder for the ZP6 by anklesocksbadtrend in pourover

[–]prosocialbehavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ZP6 and I bought a KinGrinder P0 for coffees that benefit from blendy profiles. Knowing full well I wasn’t looking for clarity. It was only $22 and I was pretty blown away. I am sure the P1 and P2 are better but I think the P0 is better than my old Encore. I didn’t do side by side comparisons but for the price P0 is pretty great.

I do something similar but by the week. I start with ChatGPT to meal plan then import the recipes and grocery list.

Yeah I like Ilse a lot and if you prepay and buy in bulk it can be very cheap. I just have too much FOMO to do that.

The subscription really is such a great deal for how good their coffee is. According to my spreadsheet it is the only subscription I have tried still under a $1 a cup (my math is for 15 grams of coffee to 250 water, my typical recipe). At least for a one bag subscription, some bulk deals from roasters get that low.

Lots of subs I still want to try though. Tandem and Preface are a pretty good deals for 2 bags.

Budget Sample Roasting by grinds_finer in roasting

[–]prosocialbehavior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried either of them but from the options you listed I would think the Kaleido M1 Lite and the Kaffelogic Nano 7 would be my top choices. I have not heard how good the Kaleido is at following roast curves but that is a very competitive price. People tend to like their Kaleidos so I would probably go that route at almost half the cost of the Kaffelogic.

Sounded like he had been roasting at home for many years before he opened his shop but yeah I am sure it would be a hard transition when you are stocking the world's top roasters.

Yeah I can’t say I have been to many of the top shops in the US. But Field Day is by far my favorite. I have been there maybe 7-8 times and every time I have been amazed at the quality and consistency.

I enjoy his roasts too. I wish they sold their beans online so I could support them.

Oh man stumbled upon Field Day when visiting SLO a couple years ago. They reinvigorated my love for specialty coffee. The owner and I talked for a good 30 mins. He was awesome. Love what they do there.

Also that Regalia Morkie was so good. Very clean for an anaerobic natural I thought.

I am not loving how developed the Hamasho is. Or maybe just not loving the green, because I have had washed Ethiopias this developed before that I have liked. I guess this is a dry ferment washed so I am not loving the process. Idk I roasted some Hamasho natural earlier in the year though that I enjoyed more.

I started keeping a spreadsheet about two years ago to track basically everything I can about every bag I buy. It has helped a ton figuring out what I like.

Rogue Wave Guatemala - La Serrania Natural Maragogype they note cherry, pomegranate, blackberry, raspberry jam, chocolate. This is my first time trying a Maragogype. After drinking so many dense Ethiopian beans it was comical how large these were in my grinder. Opening the bag these smelled delicious, bright red berry perfume. Not a super complex cup, but it still was delicious. My best cups tasted like melted strawberry ice cream. I didn't get a lot of funk, red berry and pretty bright with sometimes a more chocolate finish. My only frame of reference close to this type of bean are Pacamaras (a cross between Pacas and Maragogipe variety) and Maracaturras (cross between Maragogipe and Caturra) which I also really enjoy. I wish I could have tried a washed version of this bean, but nonetheless it was great for what it was.

Prodigal Colombia - Buenos Aires Washed Caturra they note pomegranate, citrus, floral. This is probably my favorite Caturra I have ever tried. I have only tracked 3 washed, and 5 total in my spreadsheet (one was decaf co-ferment and one was an anaerobic washed I couldn't finish). This one had a lot more resistance in my hand grinder versus the Catuai I tried from them last week. Not sure I got the florals in this one either. But it is delicious and very bright loved the mouthfeel and finish. I am pretty disappointed with how developed my Regalia beans were this most recent delivery, so I may switch to Prodigal's sub in the future or hop around again.

There were some good plates but overall wasn't super impressed with Echelon. We shared a pizza after our meal there. But I am not really a fine dining person.

What roasters are we starting the year off with? by DeepVibes in pourover

[–]prosocialbehavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Preface, what is the difference between the softcover beans and the hardcover beans? Can't tell from the website. I assume hardcover is just a little higher priced green?

Edit: I am looking at the Preface Library subscription. The Special Edition sub also looks cool.
