Reply With QuoteAndy, the card is great, I am going to incorporate the scale into my database and dispense with Sweet Maria.
Thanks,
Welcome to the roasting club Rollo.
In time you will get the roasts closer to a single number although you will find that some of the uneven roasts are still great in the cup (and that is REALLY why we do this!)
Next roast try to avoid the 7s and 12s... baby steps!
Enjoy.

Heres an idea for those that want the
You Beaut Limited Edition Previously Unreleased, Special Unique (etc etc...)
Numbered Editions
- since there are some prototypes, maybe auction them off and profits go to FairCrack ??
oohhhh.....
I like the sound of that Tasadam.
We might do that later in the month.
:)
Thanks for the card Andy - love it!
Hi Andy
The card arrived today, thanks for that.
I compared my roast of last weekend to the card and it comes in around somewhere between a 9 or a 10 on the CS scale.
I will do another roast this weekend and see where it fits, hopefully this will help me guage some consistency, so far my guage has been my memory from the week before and thats not always that good so the card will be a great help.
My wife thinks i am a bit potty, she said "what good is that" *:o i guess if she could use it as a credit card then she would think it wonderful. My answer of "its all about the coffee" *;) didnt seem to carry much weight.
Cheers

It might not be the worlds most accurate colour scale but at least we all have one exactly the same and that should go someway to bringing some consistency to our roast depth communications.
I would expect that most roasts will fall into the 8-10 bracket and quite often a reading of 8.5 will used to signify that it was around a 8 or a 9 (which is quite different to a 7 or a 10)
One thing is certain, if your roasts are a 1 then you needed a little more heat.
:)
The things that happen while you are away!
GREAT idea Andy! Saves me providing tortured descriptions of cities and villages from now on.
Pity I came back too late for the beanbay. You did say they would be available in future beanbays did you not?
Cheers,
Meg
Welcome back Meg.I hope you all had a wonderful time.
Ken.
Yes Meg,
the very funky and oh so cool membercards will always be available to members with a bean order.
(green or brown beans are fine but not Starter Packs for logistics reasons).
One card per member is free, if you loose it then the replacement is $5.00
(which includes a $2 FairCrack donation)
Easy!
Got my Card today and ws really impressed with the quality. Already put it to the test today and compared my roasted Brazil Monte Carmello Sundried - it was a 9 on the CS scale.
Many thanks Andy for this great idea.
I picked mine up yesterday at Sparkys and we were all impressed with the quality too.
I was so excited I rushed home to do a few roasts.
Pity my iroast decided to go belly up and send up that smoke signal for help.
Oh well now I can build a Corretto without the iroast getting jealous... :)
Cheers,
Ken.
I will be doing a roast tomorrow to try out my card. Cant wait.
Cheers for the Card Andy...its a great bit of kit, but no shops so far seem to be accepting of it when I hand it over and say "credit account please"
:)
Im waiting for the first post...
"today I got kicked out of a cafe after removing the hopper lid from the grinder and sticking the CS card into the beans"
;)
hahaha...I bet someone will do it (particularly now that you have incited them)
...I can see an amendment to the Criminal Code coming up...S1029 "Break and Enter - Inciting Coffee cranks to break into hoppers"
Yay...
I got all my beans today! Luck me!
The Kenya AA is like WOW!!! These are my first non supermarket beans... VERY EXCITED!! Got the green bean sarter pack too so excited to start roasting... and got the brown surprise pack... and got some Ethiopia Harrah.... Give that a burl soon too. I may have got a little carried away and will have to drink HEAPS OF COFFEE@!!!
Didnt get my card though :(
Next Order Andy? PPPPPP Please?
Cheers! [smiley=beer.gif]

Is that a dare Andy?
Yeah, there was a little of everything in that order, all great and you should have a ball working though the flavours.
I just checked Steve and you didnt order one! Its in the "Other Stuff" area of BeanBay so yes, add one to the next order and you will get one :)Didnt get my card though *:(
Next Order Andy? PPPPPP Please?
Cheers! *[smiley=beer.gif]
Steve
Sure if you like, and if you get someone else to take the photo then it might make the CS calendar too!
Is that a dare Andy?
(depending on how many police and newspaper reporters were involved)
;)
So what are the rules me photographing the cs card in the hopper or someone taking a photo of me doing it?
Id say you need someone to photograph it, just for proof!
That way you can enter it to go in the calendar too.
I think Ill reuse to talk about any more else get a knock at the door for incitement.
:)
Hey Sullo
Ill take the Photo with Matty and Dimitri the Love God doing security
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Oh,
And Scotty doing backup too.
Those Michels Patisserie chicks are vicious you know.....
Remind me to tell you what me and three armed guards were doing near a Glorias, Im sure the CS card in the photo there would be ummmm a bannable offence..
Dont worry Andy I wont bring CS into any shame or anything
Promise!
So how do I get one if I do not order beans, as I have not progressed to roasting yet ?
Order roasted beans and add them to that order.
Done, and paid for.
As I am in Melbourne all of next week, I am even happy if they are not read to ship for a few more days.
You should email Andy and tell him that. :)
Java "Timing is everything!" phile
I get lots of PMs asking for a membership card.
Please note:
You will find these under "Other Stuff" in BeanBay
http://beanbay.coffeesnobs.com.au/Default.aspx?CategoryId=52
No need for the PM or email, save us all some time and just use the BeanBay. :)
PS: As a rule I dont like PMs, please email me if you need to contact me and use something CoffeeSnobs related in the subject line so spam filters dont eat it (yours or mine).
Andy, What a great idea
Hi Andy
Would like card but live in NZ and importing beans may be a hassle (customs,MAF etc).Could you pse advise cost and payment option
Email/pm him for a response.
;)
Hi gelvin and welcome to CS!
Your question would be better dealt with if you send Andy an email. Otherwise its likely to get buried in this thread and not spotted. ;)
Beat ya Den! ;D
Happy B-day BTW - ava good one at Aroma.
Tony
