    What Causes Bitterness in Beginner's Roasts?

    Hi everyone: I've been noting the organic Columbian beans I have are beginning to taste a little bitter as city roast medium. I use the same filter I always have on my AeroPress, the paper. I have made sure to get chaff out of the coffee using a strong hair dryer. I don't understand how this...

    I did my first Columbian roast two weeks ago in the Whirley Popper that includes a thermometer, all for under $40 after I returned a high end coffee roaster due to fire concerns (lack of access to beans during potential fire).

    New Trend of Micro Roasting Green Beans - THINK ABOUT IT

    Today I received a coffee roaster I bought on eBay with too many red flags for potential fire I read in its manual. After what I read it would be like playing Russian roulette with fire. The odds are too great for a potential igniting of the beans on fire with just one electrical outage of the...
