I agree with the comments here. Personally, the sweetest coffee I have tasted is natural processed Kaffa Anderacha, which managed to keep some sort of cherry flavor no matter which roast level. I think you might get a real feel for sweetness in coffee with a quality natural processed coffee from Africa. The only issue here is that it was pretty tart, or sour\acidic, which, to my understanding can be alleviated by having it a little darker roasted, but that might also degrade the cherry taste.

How they implemented it it is you can’t get a strong item if you pick-up the item box while being stopped (like as it respawns with no forward speed), by going in reverse or picking up the same one multiple times.

I’m totally satisfied. It’s a great keyboard.

It might help you in deciding which green coffee you want and how to experiment with it. I hope it gives you ideas like it does for me, I’m currently experimenting with pan roasting. If you want to invest anyway, I’m not recommending you do many pan roasts but you might wanna try at least one, especially since it’s super cheap to accomplish.

Batch 4. 100g for 12m at 52%. First crack (after 4-5 outliers beginning at minute 3) at 7m. Net loss of 15g (15%). I was aiming for a medium-er roast since the acidity was a bit much. Next time, I’m keeping everything the same, but I will try to use a lid and stir with occasional tossing motions for the first 3 to 5 minutes.

Batch 3. 100g for 15m 30s at 48% bumped up to 50% near the end. First crack began at 12m 30s, so my next batch will be done at least at 50% power. It’s a little more uniform. Net loss of 17g (17%). I found a comfortable and efficient agitation technique. My second batch was more of a medium roast and I feel like I lost some fruit and chocolate notes, so I’m trying to get back there a little while keeping a pleasant bitterness.

I will keep an eye for a used bread maker, but I’m just not sure I need a heat gun, so unless I find a use and ask one for Christmas I’ll be doing pan roasts for a while. Still, that method was a fun rabbit hole to explore.

Thanks for the tips. The different sound seems on purpose though I’ll check someday if it bugs me or if I want to replace anything.

Second try. 50g for 9m at 55%. I let the pan preheat more thoroughly which threw me off. Next time I will heat at not more than 50% with the full preheat. Cracking started at 3m which was a little scary and unexpected. I stirred A LOT. Net loss is 10g (20%).

Haven’t tasted this batch, but the original one feels optimal right about now. I just think the first batch is a little underroasted, so I’ll judge the next batch and see if that’s my new approximate color target.

I really did, but I suppose I could stir even more. Maybe lowering the amount will help.

In my experience so far, it’s the cheaper option. Most roasteries I can find can apparently not be bothered to communicate their roast dates. I think I know of a few places where I would be able to know it, but those places will sell me beans at 20$ per pound and more if I take a smaller amount, which I have to, because I don’t use it that fast. This all means expensive coffee that will stay in the cupboard or the hopper for up to 3 months, being really good mainly the first 2 weeks. Green beans I found are half the price, and I can roast whatever I need on a weekly basis. I assume you think it’s expensive because you would need to buy a roaster, but really, I bought a metal sieve from the dollar store and got started earlier today. It helps that I like to mix dark roast with light roast, so inconsistencies in my process will lead to something similar anyway. For now, I actually tried a rather good cup and it cost me 25 CAD and 10 minutes.

Thanks everyone, I found this place: https://terracaf.ca/

20 CAD for 1 kg is fine with me.

Hum kinda…

That’s what I thought at first but it seems even with the growth they won’t be profitable, which means they still don’t break even if I understand correctly. In any case I don’t wanna defend a corporate entity, just enrich the reflexion if possible. If the whole enterprise is not at risk of collapsing, your priority should be your employees.

Thanks everyone. I still haven’t decided, but at least I know a little better how various designs work and possibly how to get a good one on the cheap. How it helps other people too.
