    Re: Measuring temperature of corretto?

    I just got a note from the US site saying that theyd shipped me my thermometer -- WITHOUT the heavy-handed credit checks of photo identity and photos of front and rear of credit card -- very dangerous material to send to anyone.
    The cost in Australian dollars, including shipping , came to less than $20, which is in turn less than half the Australian price, so it was worth the attempt. Just wrote a very nice email explaining I couldnt supply the photo id as my scanner isnt working, and that Im a member of coffeesnobs -- maybe that will do the trick for some others too..

      too right -- a photo or scan of both sides would be ideal identity theft fodder!

      Didnt pursue the chefs toolbox one because it was over twice the price (taking postage into account), and because they didnt bother to put the specs (like the max temp) online (quite a few of these things stop at 200 C -- something to look out for)

      And then started using my SOs DMM anyway -- hey, got to economize somewhere!

        Does anyone know when the DMM Temperature Data Logger will come back to Beanbay ??

        Tring to find a Data Logger under $50 is becoming somewhat hard >

            Received my thermometer from the USA site today. Looks good. Especially like the BIG dispaly so my glasses can go away when I roast. Will be roasting this weekend and christening it.

            I did go through the industrial strength photo ID and credit card rigmarolle as I ordered it before I saw the post from Anthony on how to bypass the heavy handed stuff.

              You might keep the glasses to keep some smoke out of your eyes.

                Thanks Mal,

                Can someone let me know if Data Loggers retain the information (temp) or do you need a laptop.

                Cheers,

                Shane

                  Hi again Hornet,

                  Afraid the thermologgers were talking about just digitise the data, accumulate it in a small buffer and transmit it to a PC/Laptop via a serial or USB port, depending on the model you have. Dataloggers that are able to store useful amounts of information for later download and perusal are quite a lot more expensive. If money is no object though, then you would have plenty to choose from....

                  Mal.

                    Thanks again Mal,

                    That just saves me waiting around for a DL.

                    Cheers Mate.

                    PS Jaycar have a thrmometer for $25 qm1320 (i think)

                      And my US cooking thermometer arrived yesterday -- cant wait till I have to roast again! The Corretto really makes home-roasting a pleasure. I was finding sitting on the verandah in midwinter stirring those beans a painful chore, especially with the occasional light fall of snow!
