{image} Been a long time since I've been consistently roasting... how does this look for starters? Gonna pull some shots on La Pavoni in a few days Drop temp in picture is incorrect. I believe it was about 419F

BOYS! I am back. It has been a busy few years, hit up SM and fired up the Huky for the first time in maybe year and a half. Stopped by hear and saw this thread, I by chance got a few pounds of this! Just roasted this evening, fullcity, maybe 22% development. Excited to try it in a few

Has anyone tried this? If any other company released this, I probably would have shrugged it off. Since Blue Bottle is such a pioneer and reputable company in the specialty coffee industry, I am really curious. What are your guys thoughts?

While spring levers are more manual than a pump machine, it still does not match a pure lever machine. You can control pressure and timing of all segments of the shot, and most importantly get feedback or resistance, so on top of timing and output you get more sensory data on extraction. I have two ...

Logistically, how feasible would it be to run a coffee business out of a medium sized vehicle, such as an Airstream or VW va...

As Johnny stated Mr. Li's IR burner is powerful enough and beyond, but I have something to add as well. It is shockingly fuel efficient; I hooked it up to a standard size propane tank (50 gal. maybe?) and it would go thru hundreds of pounds worth of roasting. Truly blew my mind away
