Your process was super detailed. Thing you missed is your coffee-to-water ratio.

Cold brew can be over-extracted. It is from too fine a grind or from soaking too long. If it works for you keep it up. That being said, I can't imagine it not being over-extracted. Maybe you like over-extracted coffee.

That is gorgeous. I roasted on one 25 years or so ago and loved it. I don't see a trier. How do you check your coffee during your roasts? I had a wee whole cut and added a little "metal flap" in the top door. I would attach a s/s funnel and pour the coffee through that. I then used a small...

We bought a Primera LX3000 about 6 months ago. It's pretty badass. I use it for white-label business. https://www.primera.com/lx3000-pigment-color-label-printer-config.html

Wait. You didn't put the coffee mate in with the coffee grounds did you ? It goes in the brewed liquid not the grounds.

Snoop Dogg employs his own personal blunt roller. Pays the guy $50k to roll his joints. So yeah...with money you can do anything.

Lol...I should have looked at the site. You are correct sir...no activity for some time.

Here is a link to the barista guild. Hope it helps. https://www.baristaexchange.com/group/baristaguildofamerica https://www.facebook.com/BaristaGuild/

You can't stop your post like that...what were you sipping on?

I am assuming they are displaying the beans to show the quality. I personally wouldn't put anything in my mouth that has been left out for others to touch. I am weird like that. 😷

Much nicer than the one I tried selling here in 06! https://www.coffeeforums.com/threads/used-chaff-collector-for-sale.3026/

Welcome bud! Loads of experienced people here! 99.999% of them are cool! Oh well..enjoy!

You said it works for a week then does what it always does. What is it that it always does?

Man...I love those roasters. I had one from 1896. You have a cooling bin for it?

Maybe a 2 part question is more appropriate. What coffee do you prefer and what roast degree? See the roasts are to draw out the characteristics we are trying to showcase in that bean. I personally am loving a SO. Ethiopian Yirgacheffee from www.highmule.com, roasted to medium roast. Notes ...

Drew street?? Wow, that is an old roaster! Anyone looking to buy does not need to worry that it's almost 20 years old. I have a 2001 YM60 that I have beaten on since I bought it used in 2002. You will not find a 2.5-kilo roaster for less than this price. I wish I never sold the YM2 I had...

One of my favorite brewers right here. The issue with inexpensive brewers is that they do not have a great heating element in them. The water doesn't get hot enough and will not extract all the flavors. https://us.moccamaster.com/collections/thermal-carafe-brewers...

Ok. So let's say you take a heavy-bodied coffee like Sumatra. You roast it to a french roast. The darker you roast the more acidity you roast out. Sumatra is low in acidity and roasting darker will boost the body. All body and no acidity to back it up makes for a mouth full of mud. Same...

Why? You need some acidity or you end up with a mouth full of mud.

That is far from true Mr. Pourover. Why such a Debbie Downer? There is a captive audience in a hospital. What most people assume is that the doctors will be the ones drinking expensive drinks. That is just not the case. The maintenance people are your money-makers! I did learn not to ask...

Patience isn't your strong suit is it. Sorry pal I do not work weekends and stay away from computers as well. Here is a link for a carrying case....

That looks as old as the first Gaggia I worked on at my first shop. It was 89 and the machine had to be from the 70s. The topper is just a topper. I see you said it has never been used. Do you mean since you were gifted it or EVER.

If you have fresh coffee, Filtered water, and a decent brewer you should be ok. Biggest issue I have seen people have is the coffee is either stale or the coffee brewer can not heat the water hot enough to extract all the flavor from the coffee.

Have you reached out to MillCity? I know there is at least one person from that company here on the forum.

I went to join....I guess I was already a member.

Hey everyone! I just joined a new social media website called https://roastsociety.net/ . Head over and check it out. It's not a forum...more like Facebook for coffee. Come hang out!

Well that was fun. Let's all take a deep breath. Cupagil, I have to disagree with your statement that Shadow wasn't being helpful. I thought his statement was spot on. You can explain coffee to people but taste is subjective. That being said...back to the op. I also agree with Musicphan. I...

So you do roast your own coffee. Cool! What brand and size roaster do you guys use?

I thought it was, " I like my coffee like my women, bitter and full of liquor.

We offer 1 medium, 1 dark, 1 decaf and 2 flavors. It's funny to hear customers talk. You offer them a medium roast and it's as if you are questioning their manhood. I'm a man...RAWR! I only drink dark roast! Most people start off drinking dark and as their palate evolves they gravitate to...

I wish the Chemex Ottomatic were $50. I guess you aren't familiar with them. That's why I really didn't chime in on the super autos because my experiences with them are from about 15 years ago. I am sure they have come a long way. I still don't know why you think that drip coffee is not...

I.Fix.Jura. Why the hostility? "Zero pressure means what you get is not even coffee??" Your telling me that my Chemex ottomatic doesn't make real coffee?? That's just absurd. Ascanio1, I hope someone can chime in and point you in the right direction.

Thanks Jack, I am all set. I ended up buying a years supply of the silver pouches with a valve from China. I will need to reorder again in about 3 months.

Hey there. Sorry you are having an issue. Try reaching out to Paul Ribich with roaster dynamics. He is a great dude and knows everything about the Ambex roasters. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. https://roasterdynamics.com/

Spot on Mike! The thing is you can also get creative with your roast degrees. I used to have Colombian that we roasted as a French Roast, Medium roast and a breakfast blend of 25% french roast and 75 % medium roast(still a single origin). That is 3 different sku's with 1 coffee.

I asked in a previous post. Do you roast? If you do what roaster are you using and what size? Did you ever find out if you had a central American coffee or was that a misprint?

Do you mind telling me what size roaster you are using? I don't see anything on your site about roasting. Are you a roaster or a reseller? I hate to say it but factor might be the pricing. My last company was 99% online sales. It is hard to get someone to buy from you without tasting your...

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean I am toxic or cardamom is?

What is the capacity of this roaster...looks really cool.

Couple of questions. Does it have a external or internal chaff collector? Can you post a picture of the burners and is it running on propane or natural gas. Lastly...price?

Welcome Star! I assume when you say herbs you are not referring to cardamom. Lol. Oh well..Welcome!

I never have seen a poster from the forum...can you snap a picture next time you are in?

The good thing is most fungus dies off at 140 to 160 degrees. Roasting coffee is much higher. I just don't understand the novelty. I am not a germaphobe but lets just say I don't eat food with my hands....I use utensils for everything. That being said, I am not drinking anything that comes...

I bought some years ago for a brewery. We paid $75 a lb green. I set the box down on the counter at home. My wife's cat jumped up on the counter and started sniffing it. I was so scared he was going to try an use it as a litter box! That would have been an expensive mistake. I was not a fan...

I stopped making coffee at home after my Moccamaster was stolen. My wife bought me the ottomatic and I swear by it. I am now enjoying coffee at home again. I do also enjoy the Clever dripper.

Could you elaborate in this statement? we roast our own responsibly sourced beans Are you going to the farms and meeting the owners and workers? This is off subject but are you buying full bags of green or partial?

okbut. I see you have been busy. I mentioned before this is a spam free site. I am leaving this up to explain to you the bases of this thread. Someone was looking for a discounted price on a 5 lb bag. Since I buy coffee by the container I am able to get my cost down. You're at $24 a lb...

okbut...please do not take offense to our posts. Trust me...we can all learn from each other here. Loads of great people with ridiculous amounts of information!

Lol. No I think he meant characteristics and notes of....because it is 100% arabica coffee.

Welcome okbut! I had to edit your post. This is a spam free forum. Lastly I noticed you misspelled Colombia. I also scanned your site and found it misspelled at least once on your site. I read your about us and it says you guys are developing your own specialty roasts. Do you roast...

Good luck bud! I had to teach myself how to taste coffee. I got into the business in 89 and we didn't have the internet to point is in any direction. That being said. I read the description of each coffee and tasted the coffee and tried to find what was in the description. After a while you...

Wow. that was a bot aggressive.

Welcome! Are you in the biz or a fan? Loads of great people and information! Again...welcome.

Lol. I offer 5 lb bags at a discounted price of $12 a lb or $60 for the bag. If you spend over $20 its free shipping. $80 for 5 lbs is pretty much the average price. Oh and I have done colabs with Funky Buddha, Akadamia, 3 sons and Salt water brewery.

Have you contacted Diedrich directly? They should be able to get you sorted. Also I would source a local fabricator in your area. If you ever need anything they will be able to save you. I had a probat years ago. The screen was torn so I called probat. The price was INSANE! I found a...

Does it have a cooling bin?

Welcome bud! I just looked your site over. Do you roast your own or are you a reseller?

Yikes. I am sorry you had to go through that! That is ridiculous! May and a grand for just the service call. I need to move out your way and clean up! What machine did you end up going with?
