If there is any shortage of great coffee there I will be sorely disappointed!! But as always I will of course keep my CP at hand! 8-) ;D

Only if they give me more than one! ;D : ;D

yeah Ill be satisfied with a 2keg one thanks.

Re: Big BIG News Snobs!!!

Javaphile, anything on roast profiling, eg. effect of slow/fast ramping to first crack (just an example), that sort of useful stuff to all of us home roasters.

Also blending info, bean marriages "made in heaven" ( ) , etc.


Have fun.

Re: Big BIG News Snobs!!!

Im sorry Im not posting anything at this point but the fact of the matter is that there just isnt enough time in the day to do it. Im at the conference running from one thing to another for 14 hours or more a day and by the time I get home I have to head right to bed to get 6 hours of sleep if Im lucky before getting up and heading out to do it all over again!

Given the hectic schedule of events Ill probably be lucky to post anything of length before the conference is over.

As a teaser, today I had what may be the highlight of the whole week-end. It was certainly one of the highlights of my life! I had a chance to meet and spend some time with Jane Goodall. Yes that Jane Goodall. For a hint at why she was at SCAA take a gander here: http://www.janegoodall.org/ About 2/3rds of the way down the page on the right side.

To help yall survive until I can do more complete postings this year SCAA has a live blog of the conference, including live coverage of the US Barista Championships: http://scaa.wordpress.com/

And heres a couple of pics. This one is of the Ethiopian dancers that opened the Keynote speech tonight.

Java,

Youre supposed to be drinking the coffee to stay awake!!!! ;D ;D

If that fails tho.....have a good sleep!

Re: Big BIG News Snobs!!!

Unfortunately caffeine will only work so long!! Hhhmmm....10 hours of sleep in the last 3 days!

Not enough time in the day to post, let alone sleep!!

I did manage to score a sample bag of the tea espresso mentioned in another thread a few days ago that I will be giving a go after the conference is over.

And heres a pic of every home roasters dream machine!
