Re: Hi! Im new here. Go easy on me!

Any idea where I can look up / hook up with coffee franchise affiliate programs?

Anything in particular you were looking for? Google can give you a start but you might need to be more specific for help from here.

Re: Hi! Im new here. Go easy on me!

Hi All,

Ive been lurking for around 6 months or so and thought it was about time I said hello.

So far Ive been roasting in an unmodified old popper, using a thermocouple for temperature monitoring and its been a heap of fun and horridly addictive (Ive already got ~20kg of green beans....).
Im happy with what Ive been producing but Im thinking its time to upgrade to something bigger and with better control, so Ive been reading a few threads on Corretto, Behmor and the Baby Roaster. So far Ive read a heap of conflicting opinions   , so I think Ill pick what technique will suit me best, as it looks hard to go too wrong as long as you are willing to learn.

For brewing, Im just using a plunger but Im looking at getting an aeropress to play around with. One day I might get an espresso machine (when I can afford it, being a poor student Im trying not to spend too much money...), but that dream is a fair way off at the moment.

Welcome BB, I used to use a plunger and whilst certainly OK an Aeropress makes a nicer cup. Of freshly roasted & ground beans are still a must.

I have been lurking through these forums for a numbers of years and this is my first post.

Every question that I have had has been located by searching though the posts here.

I have got some very useful info and thank the experts here for the inputs.

Excellent stuff

Hi all

Mick & Jayne from Canberra. Not new to the joys of a good coffee, but recently taken it to the next level and started roasting our own with a Behmor 1600.

Bought online from Andy a couple of weeks ago and just finished 6th and 7th roasts.

Site is an absolute goldmine of information and looking forward to being a part of it !

Cheers

M & J

Re: Hi! Im new here. Go easy on me!

Its taken more than two years since registering, but its now time for my first post.

My primary machine is a La Pav Europiccola. Ive recently picked up a Rancilio L6... really just to pull apart and play with (even though it worked perfectly before I stripped it down). I also have a PV Lusso 2grp due to arrive any day. There is also a siphon and plunger handy for the occasional black coffee.

I like to keep electronics as far removed from my coffee making as possible (likely rebelling against working in IT), and appreciate making coffee as much as drinking it. On the other hand, Im quite happy for the cafes I frequent to use every bit of technology available to produce me a nice cup.

After years of learning from this site, hopefully Ive gained enough knowledge and experience that I can now start to contribute to it.

Paul.

Re: Hi! Im new here. Go easy on me!

Obviously new here too... been lurking for about 6 months, signed up a week or so ago and have learnt heaps so thanks everyone.

I have been using an EM6910/0480 combo for the past 2 years with various beans, started with a bag of supermarket bought, then cafe bought and really liked Campos Beans. Visited a roaster in QLD last year and started researching home roasting and that lead me here.

Im now two roasts in with my Behmor and enjoying the ride...

Anyway, see you all around
