My fancy roaster. I buy a new one about every 10 years or so when it quits roasting.

I do go pretty far into the second crack. If I quit roasting after the first crack, it's too mild for me.

I'm using a regular grinder and

Melitta single cup brewer and a large mug.

Hope this answers you questions. If you have more, ask. I love talking about my coffee. At the commercial culinary school I got a bigger thermos because the chef instructors would help themselves to my coffee. Better than most of what came out of the school multi-cup brewer.

I might extend a bit longer into the second crack then. I like the french roast whereby the beans get alittle oily.

I think you need good water that is heated to 195 degrees or so and a good means to drip it through a filter.

I love the combo of the Wilfa and the Chemix large carafe. They make a cotton filter cloth that filters beautifully and is usable. No more paper filters.

I also bought a 16 ounce Zojirushi thermos that keeps the coffee hot forever. I’m done by 8 am on weekdays.
