I have been roasting for about a year with a fresh roast 8 roasting
machine and I love it. It is automatic, you just set it for the amount
of time you want to roast and it has a cool down cycle on it also.

Popcorn Popper Roasting

Many years ago I roasted using a yellow pop-corn popper. I drilled a
small hole in the top and stuck a thermometer through a spacer so that
it just reached down to where the beans were. I also added an
additional switch so I could control the heating element and fan
separately! My experience back than was I could do a better job than

Thanks for the reply.
I have roasted from the bag for quite awhile myself, but started to
wonder how clean the green coffee was that I purchase online. I have
been researching wet and dry processing and wondering how good the
processing controls are in so many different places, i.e. clean water
and open air drying.

I always roast right from the bag. Moisture has an affect on roasting
characteristics.

Does anyone wash their green coffee beans before roasting, or do you
roast them right from the bag they come in?

I think one; is those places have blended beans, they aren't using just one
kind. Ever notice on the bag it says some mouth watering catch phrase about
being perfectly blended over so many years or what ever. Also you could be
right about the beans, where are you getting them from so I can avoid that. I

Brewing my home roasts

I'm a newcomer to this forum, but I've been roasting for many years.
However, I've have had inconsistent results through all of these years.
I've never been able to consistently produce a good pot.
The problem I'm having is a harshness/bitterness to the cup. In general
I feel that I'm overextracting the beans. I've used electric drip pots,

Starbucks uses approximately 2% of the world's coffee. There is no way
humanly possible (other than over roasting) to ensure that the taste of
the espresso is the same, whether jumping on a plane in Baltimore or
visiting the museum in Seattle.
SBUX intentionally is seeking a taste that can be repeated time and

Overroasting makes the coffee bitter.

Is there a tutorial of how to blend coffee somewhere on the net?
I bought 3 different kind of green beans and I am looking for
information on how to experiment and test different blends to get
interesting results.
Anyone out there that can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

From a Pop Corn Popper to an iRoast & Back again

peter...@gmail.com (Kiwi Koffee Knut) — Fri, 20 Jan 2006 01:12:08 UT

I have been using a Pop corn popper for around two years and have done
several hundred roasts, but I only do around 75 to 80gms with each
roast. Its a basic as one can get, but a superb way to develop
knowledge and skills about roasting. The coffee i make is pretty damn
good and well worth pouring through my Rancilio Rocky grinder en route
