You will for sure need a cyclone - otherwise, your chaff released from the beans will be a significant problem. Afterburner is really dependent on your city requirements. I run a 12K and my city doesn't require anything - honestly, they were clueless and I think I could run a much larger...

I do every other week.... usually doesn't need much. Roast usually once/twice a week for 4-5 hours per day

Technivorm #1, Bonavita #2 (much better value IMO). https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer

I suggest being highly caution of some of the automated tools... it can quickly add ghost accounts to your IG base. Ghost accounts are basically inactive accounts... when you have a high % of inactive people Instagram starts to de-prioritize your posts in your bases feeds.

And make sure your coffee maker is CLEAN

Search for K-cup co-packer... there are many out there..

Drip / Espresso / Home / Commerical - need more info

There is a dramatic difference between 'cold coffee beverages' and iced coffee. Iced coffee is delicious, calorie-free (or very minimal) drink... I love it!

I offer a nice coffee subscription > HTTPs://www.encorecoffeeco.com. If you want to try my coffees first I offer a sampler kit of 2 x 2oz samples for $5 shipped (US Only)

African's are always great... I kind of change with the season. Right now, I'm drinking a lot of Nicaraguan... a farm called Finca Mierisch does an amazing job showing beans. I'm drinking a natural from their La Huella farm... very rich / slightly fruity / full bodied.

Welcome to the forum!

Just follow some of the online guides... you basically brew with half the hot water you normally would, and brew into ice. it retains the acidity so it's a nice crisp and full of flavor without the cold brew murkiness. Its also often called flash brew. Now since you love Nitro... find...

Green coffee for weight loss is a scam... period.

Thank you! I always try and put out quality beans!

Me too! ha.. have you ever tried Japanese iced coffee?

Yep... it's just the mouth feel... when it bubbles like a stout it adds a creamy texture. .

Certainly not knocking your opinion.... it's not bad - just prefer the acidity in hot brewed coffees. I think that's where it's lacking a bit. But I do agree I love the cascade and mouthfeel.

Quad espresso to start the day... and pour over in the afternoon

Agree 100%... of done Nitro coffee every possible way... its still just OK. I think I'm not a fan of cold brew which is the foundation. I love Japanese style iced coffee but can pass on nitro coffee. Now nitro beers... different story ;)

Welcome 40Weight... it's really hard to give you definitive recommendations because Death Wish does not make public where their coffees are grown - or that matter - what species they are using. Considering they pedal high caffeine its most likely robusta coffee which for most coffee consumers...

Check Freghtquote.com as well... they are a less than truckload freight aggregator.

My BFF is feeling the same challenge... his daughter has been an apprentice for the last two years. Great artist... curious to see how she translates into tattoo.

That is called gluttony... lol

Hey David - welcome! Topher - hows the foot? haha..

Yes - It was a quick read but I tend to use that theory more than some of Rao's early work. I actually purchased it when it first came out several years, there is also a good youtube video of him speaking about the book. I think it was part of the Nordic competition or something (memory is...

+1 ... Lol

Not overly.. but the fact you have NO airflow means there is a potential for blockage = fire hazard. Chances are slim but I would look into it - doesn't seem right.

USRC 12K Rev

time to call SF

I would suggest lowering the charge weight... down to say 400 and see if you have issues. It's rated at a pound which is 454 grams. Most people suggest roasting at 80% capacity... = 400 grams.

You need to add up draw of each component you will be running - that will give you your minimum power needs.

If you don't adjust your damper - do you still lose air flow (past yellow)?

I'm unaware of a lot of choices with the built in grinder function... certainly a bunch without. I don't stay super informed about consumer models (there are others on this board that are).. but it seems like Breville seems to be the most popular within the 'espresso enthusiast' market. When...

First off - regarding built-in grinders... grinders are the chef knife in the coffee world. You have to get up in price in order for them to be of great quality and last long. I run a Mazzer Mini at home... at the time I purchased 15 years ago it was one of the few 'inexpensive' grinders for...

Parker - can you clarify your process. In your OP you state you lose your airflow during the roast - is this after you have changed your damper. Please provide your process and load size.

Try Japanese style Iced Coffee - you won't ever go back to cold brew for small qty brewing. Much better tasting cold coffee and without the cold brew jitters. https://www.justonecookbook.com/japanese-iced-coffee/

Are you still seeing inconsistent readings?

Seems legit ;)

Obviously there are pro/con with glass... I personally have a Bodum glass FP I've had for years with no issues. But its not my primary brewing device. I use a plastic shatterproof camping and I also have the Planetary Design FP as an option. It's another option to consider...

Well - lets discuss water... you can heat it up on your stove via kettle or get an electric kettle - both do the same thing. You want to use water as close to 200 as possible (within reason). Most people bring to boil, let it sit for 30-45 seconds, and then use. French Press - the 'big' brand...

Where is the machine located?

Yes - preheat your glasses, especially if they are ceramic / porcelain. No idea on the specific temp issue because I don't own one... but closest to 202 is best. As far as milk, topher is spot on... generally the stainless pitcher will be almost too hot to touch when it hits ideal temp.

Yes, Rao has the Decent espresso machine... seems to have pretty impressive results. It's a tweakers dream... pressure profiles / etc.

Jealous... congrats man!

Differentials is the 'uplift' above spot pricing that an Importer chargers the end buyer. So say C market/spot is $1.00/lb ... they may have a $.50 diff on that coffee so your cost would be $1.50/lb

Welcome to the forums!

It's probably just a slight change to the roast.. a touch of oil will come from espresso shots - that's flavor!

It's somewhat machine-specific.... if your machine has enough pressure to pull good shots with a standard portafilter stick with it. If its a lower-end machine that can't generate enough pressure go with a pressurized portafilter.

Shadow... I know you are/were rockin a Silvia... do you not have to temp surf? I PID'd mine otherwise I had inconsistent shots... especially like you said when not fully warmed up. Seems like I would warm up my Silvia 30 minutes at least...

Using the right amount of coffee is critical... people tend to use too little. https://www.encorecoffeeco.com/blogs/coffee-school/how_much

Good recommendation as well... ironically I recommend a Clever for 1-2 cups.. Bonavita for more ;)

Sounds like a temperature issue... make sure to flush the Silvia... often people 'temp surf' with their Silvias.

I'm a big fan of the Bonavita products... for $125 it brews hot, has an insulated pot. Solid brewer for the $$

NorthSouth is exactly right... it looks like its a Bunn ITCB but you need to clarify. The lower end models which I think uses a plastic funnel which is relatively inexpensive. It's once you get into the Stainless products is when you get into the $125ish range. However, follow the process and...

Is this an affiliate link? Are you selling for Trade?

I personally don't give much brewing guidelines outside of generally accepted ratios/etc. There are simply too many variables to account for in brewing a good cup of coffee.

If your looking for a small coffee brewer take a look at the Bonavita 5 cup... percolators make terrible coffee because they recirculate the brewed coffee. My BFF was just in the market for a new brewer and that's what I advised her to buy: https://bonavitaworld.com/products/5-cup-one-touch

I would imagine that your grind is not fine enough... I recommend to my customers to grind about as fine as sand for K-cups. From feedback though, everyone's k-cup reusable pods are slightly different and you have to play around with that grind size a bit. I tend to see success when it's...

wmark - how did you add after install? Sounds like people could use the info. I'm shocked VFD is not standard... seems to be a basic technology of modern roasting.
