Wow, what a cool opportunity! Congratulations. I hope it goes well for you. Keep us posted on your progress.

I'm a big fan of the pan myself!

Welcome. I hope you post again on your progress with the coffee plants, I would find it interesting to read about
what your doing with them and eventually what the cup quality is like.

Greetings, I just bought a coffee farm. It is not very big but it sure has a lot of lovely old coffee bushes (that have to be pruned and the will be out of production for a year or two). I see that there are no offerings of green coffee from here and I am interested to see if I can make the grade ev...

The closest I've come to a full pound is 13oz. I tried roasting a full pound of Sidamo decaf for a friend on P3C. Even with full time added, the result was disastrous. I've given up on the Bani. I did take a closer look at the green beans. It does appear homogeneous at a distance, but one you get cl...

You're roasting a full pound? You must have 120v or some sorta regulation. Do you preheat? Twice I've roasted a half pound using the half pound setting. For my other 20+ roasts I've roasted a full pound using the one pound setting and P1, P2 or P3. I haven't tried P4 or P5 yet. I do not preheat. Si...

When I use 1, B, P2 to roast a pound of beans in my Behmor, 1st crack begins: With African (Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe and Rwanda Jomba Vunga) beans: 3 to 15 seconds after the power drop With South American (Ecuador) beans: 60 seconds after the power drop With Papua New Guinea beans: 2 minutes 30 second...

The myth of the plus and minus buttons goes 'way back... even Mr. B once thought was how it was supposed to work, but after investigations were complete that theory was a smoking wreck in the rearview mirror... You can change the time of power drop by choosing the weight and letter; those choices ar...

That's what I thought and has been my experience. With your P2 roasts, I'm assuming you know the time to the first crack and are using A or B to time it? Do your first cracks start before or after the power drop? If so, how much time between the start of the cracks and the drop? I have had 'successf...

I've read on one blog/website specific to the P2 power drop of the Behmor that the power drop will occur as the time it's set for is reached. Meaning, that if it's set to drop at 60% of time for P2B, it will drop at 8:00. If the cracks start early and you want the power drop now, simply use (-) to ...
