The negative slope from charge to turning point is an artifact of a hot temperature sensor coming into contact with room temperature beans. It's not indicative of what's happening to the beans. They're getting hotter from the moment you charge. But I think that's independent from when you choose to count "drying time." In truth

If you can brew espresso, you can roast coffee. I can do as well as my local roasters with my flour sifter over a Coleman stove. Plus I can pick any bean and any roast level. It's hard to imaging going back to buying roasted coffee. It's really very easy, to get to that 95%

I heard back right away from Weber. They recommended rotating all the way until it locks and then back one full rotation. I imagine chirp and lock are about the same thing. I'm sure I'll have to readjust as the burrs wear in

Ahh yes... thanks for the correction about it not being a PID. I am aware I need a laptop

The Fellow Aiden sounds great to me. Been making espresso daily and have been wanting to get back to brews; this might be the ticket back. It's a first-generation product, though, which I usually steer clear and wait for a v2. (Does anyone remember how long it took for Fellow to introduce ode v2 after v1?) On the other hand

Good day everyone! Quick question for you all... I've learned a ton from many previous threads here talking about roast profiles and everyone's different approaches to try to squeeze the best from their roasters... When I was doing a few roasts on my Quest M3 this past weekend, something hit me that I never really paid attention

For best results, use a basket designed for ESE pods, e.g., {link} . In addition, an ESE-compatible portafilter and/or an ESE group dispersion block and/or shower screen may be needed. In order to work as designed, the ESE pod must be compressed against the shower screen when the portafilter is locked in. Ideally, the machine's shower screen's water

So could spritzers (I'm talking about the misting ones....) be related to partially blocked portafilter holes? I've gotten them on what are otherwise great shots

Sigh, I was tempted to delete all your sh*tposting nonsense on this thread. But just in case anyone is taking it seriously .... The grinder is 11 inches high. Unless, you are about 7 feet tall, and your arm is 7 inches in radius, you are going to have no problem seeing the grind settings and adjusting them

SM coffee roasted on an Aillio Bullet will blow away local average roasters wherever you live. It doesn't have PID control (recipes control power/fan/drum speed), but PID control doesn't make much sense on a drum roaster anyways. It's pricey but I don't think anything else compares if you want something electric, portable, and automatic (except for ending the roast) that
