Hi all,
This morning I roasted some of the latest Sumatran Mandheling for my morning double. I always have a look at the batch while cooling them and discard any deformed or under/over roasted beans and anything else I dont like the look of. Two scoops into Rocky and it grinds as normal until CRRRRUUUUNCHHH ! I dive for the power cord.
I found a small rock had made it into the grinder. Not only that but, I kid you not, a rock almost exactly the same shape, size and yes COLOUR as a coffee bean. I couldnt have designed a better trap if I tried.
I dont mean to cause mass hysteria, just a good advertisement to check your beans. This is actually the second rock Ive found in the green beans (first one didnt pass screening). You might also want to keep an eye on the Mandheling if you have it.
Oh and I inspected the burrs on the grinder, they appear to have been dulled and scraped a bit. Still seems to work ok, pulled a good shot this evening. Anyone know where I can order new Rocky burrs ?
Cheers,
Pete
