... I'll have to roast ahead a couple of days!! Thanks for this! On another subject, I am fascinated that you can enjoy drip coffee as well as be an espresso aficionado! I came to the US from NZ a couple of years ago and was horrified that Americans were still drinking drip coffee 8-) . Now I think ...

I am looking for your help finding a good quality single head espresso maker, or converting one, that I can run entirely off of Propane. I am a total newbie to Espresso making so go easy on me. I became a convert after drinking 6 shots back to back at the ...

... my beans and throw them away if the first cup tastes bitter or sour. That's what happened to my Tessitura and the Wow! Bukan Main that came in the espresso sampler (what a waste). I only ever drink espresso. When I buy roasted beans from a local roaster they always smell wonderful straight after ...

... to go down faster. My wife loves her Panama, BehmorThing has told me exactly how to set the machine for the next roast. A batch of my personal espresso blend is just dead on, though I'm going to tinker with the blend a trifle - cut the Sumatra, bump the Ethiopian. Can't wait to try one of Tom's ...

... that are too dark and ones that are too light, without any apparent rhyme or reason. The Behmor setting I got closest with, for SM's Monkey blend espresso, is 1# P4D-- as per the book, which took me just into second crack - the coffee was slightly on the bitter side but drinkable.

... a couple of weeks ago. I've been exploring ever since. It tasted like no other coffee that I have ever had. It was really good. I have been an espresso fan for probably well over 10 years. I purchased a totally automatic Jura capresso two years ago and now want to venture into the home roasting ...
