Andy[AT]coffee... you know the rest.
Hmm. One should never assume hey?
I didnt think just ordering it would work as the system is not geared up to send beans overseas, but hopefully you will be able to contact Andy now and get something sorted.
Re: First Attempts at Roasting. Failure and success!
I did a couple more roasts with the omelette maker today. I tried putting in 1 cup of beans (didnt weigh beforehand but it came out at ~150g after roasting) and it seemed a bit easier. Not sure why. Maybe the bigger pile of beans holds the heat better. Or maybe Im just getting more familiar with the process.
The roasts I did last week are tasting good. My favourites are the Peru and the Ghimbi.
Re: First Attempts at Roasting. Failure and success!
Hi did my first roast to day a Ethiopian Harrar in a breville
popcorn crazy popper the roast took 36 minutes and came out nice and dark. was checking it every minute as did not want to end up with burnt beans as this was my first time roasting it turned out really nice. I did not hear first or second crack but I think this was because of the noise of the popcorn maker sounds like a jet engine .
also the weather this way was raining very hard and the roast was done out in the shed so had lots of moisture around which must have slowed the roast. after cooling the beans sat them for two hours then hand ground them in the porket and made a nice black espresso it tasted wonderful and I could smell vanilla tones and chocolate in the ground coffee.
also the taste had earthy tones will be interesting to see how the coffee tastes after a couple of days yum.

Hi fatboy and Laughing@Fate
was using a secondhand popcorn maker rated at 1200 watts
looks old as hell my old watch must have given up the ghost or the popcorn maker is not putting out the heat that quick as I noticed no smell or any smoke at all from it will go and buy a proper kitchen timer and then I will no if its the old popcorn maker or not ;D
