Re: Stones in commercial roasts?
I check post roast using the theory that those rocks/mud lumps are going to be a similar size (are they screened?) and (usually) colour to the greens whereas the browns will be somewhat larger and significantly different colour - so easier to spot.
It only takes a minute or two for some peace of mind. I got a large flat tupperware from a $2 shop - tip in a handful of beans from the cooling sieve, quick eyeball, tip into container on scales, repeat until finished. Easy.
I think however that Im seeing less stones now than a few years ago, particularly in the Eth. & Yemen. Maybe they are being more careful with the premium beans, or maybe thats where all my luck has gone.
