Thread: Coffee Enthusiasts

Yeah, after going to the good stuff Jerry it's tuff to go back.
As to your measurements, to each their own. You adjust to what you like and enjoy!!!
I find my favorite Espresso is a bit light, according to what is "Recommended" as the optimum amount. But then again, I don't use a dark Espresso roast either.

So find what works for you, and go with it

Well, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the sad passing of my Freshroast roaster.

After five years of excellent and diligent service, the leaky roof-induced soaking proved a calamity too far. It recovered for long enough to do a couple of good roasts, but then was just unable to generate enough heat to do a proper roast. It's a sad, sad day chez Cangooner.

Thanks to a couple unexpected expenses, $$ is tight these days, so running out and getting the Gene Cafe that I really would like to get is out of the question. So now I need to decide whether to just get another Freshroast, save for a fairly short while to get a Behmor, or save for quite a while to get a Gene Cafe.

In the meantime, please join me and raise a cup of your favourite brew in memory of a fine tool. It served me well and owes me nothing. RIP Freshie.

I have a Behmor 1600+, and a friend of mine has a Gene Cafe. Fairly, I like mine more: the larger batch, preprogrammed profiles as well as fully manual option, different type of heat transfer leading to a less dried-out roasts holding for almost twice as long afterwards - it's all speaks for the Behmor.
