Re: 100kg Club
Once word gets out that you are roasting coffee, it wont take long to reach 100kg. You will have people knocking on your door for fresh coffee.

LOL.... ;DOriginally posted by 2B29252D2D2324394A0 link=1238034797/13#13 date=1238056072Mal,
Given your impressive knowledge of fine tuning roast profiles, Im suprised that youve roasted so little.
I always had the idea you were roasting batches and batches of the same bean, meticulously taking notes on the outcome of each one so you could perfect it.

I do a lot of small roasts in poppers when trying to dial-in an optimum roast profile before I fire up the Corretto and Ive never bothered weighing these; perhaps I shouldve. In the early years I only used poppers (although modified) for all my roasting, roughly 200g green per batch and about 3-4 batches per session. With the Corretto Ive settled on 750g green batch sizes as the most comfortable for me to manage with the limiting factor being the cooler. Batches larger than this will see beans ending up on the floor and wasted.
That 200Kg total is roasted weight so you could add about 15% to this to arrive at the green weight. Works out to be about 650g roasted weight every week to ten days, consumed between me and my youngest son. I havent tallied the batches Ive roasted for friends and relos but there would be at least another 100Kg roasted weight to add to what we consumed over that six years. In the early years before I found CoffeeSnobs, green used to cost me about $12/Kg too so wasnt all that inexpensive a hobby back then.
Cheers,
Mal.

Re: 100kg Club
Well... Ive certainly had a little help from my friends. Our Corretto was shared by three CSers for most of that time. Down to two now - housemate moved out and got his own Corretto.Originally posted by 103D393538540 link=1238034797/11#11 date=1238050006Very impressive Stuart 8-)
I just did the sums too and came up with a figure of just under 200Kg but over a period of more than six years, so to roast about 60% of this in 12 months is pretty awesome in my book.... 8-)

Re: 100kg Club
Just did the maths as i couldnt be bothered trying to collate all my data but i have been roasted for about 28 months and average at a minimum of 2 x 500g roasts per week so thats well over 100kg for me i rekon.
My coffee consumption has dropped off over the last 3 months but i still roast decaf for myself and the business i work for and they go through 500g per week anyway.
Coffee certainly is big business, it amazes me how much coffee we in our society must go through, especially when i see the queues of people waiting in line at a cafe.
It is not uncommon for a queue of 10 or more at the cafe at the bottom of the building i work in.

Re: 100kg Club
Hhhrrrmmmm.......Now yall piqued my curiosity and Ive got to go look at the db to see what it has to say. Back in a minute!
OK Im back. Did ya miss me? ;D
Per my db the Gothot has had just over 220kg (1109 x 200g) put through it in 2.5 out of the 3 years since it came online. During the 3 years of operation six months of records have been lost due to various issues. Extrapolating the data in the existing records for the missing months gives an additional 88kg of beans having been roasted. Yielding a grand total of 308kg having passed through the Gothot since the little beauty started chugging them out here. Interestingly the db is showing a bit over 302kg of greens currently on hand. This last year has been an especially interesting one for the Gothot with over 100 different varietals having been put through it. Heres to hoping the next year will bring 100 more!

Re: 100kg Club
I am somewhere over 100 roasts of 250-300g in either dog bowl or Hottop in about 6 months. There are time when bigger batch sizes would be nice but the weekly variation and the ability to tweak more often is nice with the small lots.
Just checked 55kg in the stash so a little over a years supply :-[

Re: 100kg Club
207 roasts since starting just over a year ago. 80gm Popper for 20 odd then 550gm BM and the last 100 odd 750gm Bigger BM. Wow it adds up alright, 65kg in stash at last count.

Love it !

Re: 100kg Club
I suspect Mal roasts smaller batches that most....most of mine for eg are around 800-900grams because we drink a heap of coffee per day.

Hey GM, were approaching 200 roasts, too (10 to go) - got any special beans lined up? :P
Cheers

Ive got some Ethiopian Dima wild picked beans that are pretty special, the aroma after they are roasted is amazing and when grinding they fill up the house with amazing aromas. They are brown ugly little things but they are good in the cup!!!

Re: 100kg Club
An interesting topic.
Ive checked my spreadsheet and am surprised that it says Ive only roasted just shy of 70kg since 26/10/2006.
My stash currently sits at 90kg.
I bought roasted this weeks because my correttos still out of action.
Id better get it up and running again soon.
