I am searching for an affordable home roaster (less than $1000) that will do a 1 lb batch (or close to it since Behmor does not do well with 16 oz of greens). My 15-year-old Behmor (original 1600 model) stopped rotating the drum. I can try replacing the drum motor for $30 in...

I saw this in a video in the about us section of a coffee roaster website:

Is this how you cup green coffee?

Hello,

I just bought a new espresso machine, and some Oscar Bilt pouches. Opening a pouch, it seems damp and smells musty. I rinsed it for some time, maybe 10 mins, and the smell persists, although muted. Putting it in the water tank of the machine made the steam have that same...

Happy to do PX with SSP HU burrs.

Please let me know if you know more.

What are the two knobs on the water level gauge on the right used for?

Hi all,
I'm interested in getting into coffee roasting purely as a means of producing good coffee in the varieties and taste profiles I want (I don't want another hobby). Are the PID controlled roaster options + proven roast recipes/profiles going to produce something...
