Oh! Himself has dabbled in roasting, but only with a modified corn popper and a handful of beans at a time. It was too depressing to not get better results so he’s given it up. I wish I could get him whatever he needed to roast in earnest.
What is your setup? And what’s the holdup? :)
Our coffee goes in a good thermal carafe after brewing. With light warming on the stove when necessary.
A press that holds pods? The whole pod or just the contents?
Yes, an electric kettle is a good idea. I have an old electric stove that just isn’t very good at getting hot. Another item for the Wish List - thanks :/
Coffee Snob away. I’m like that with most restaurants over the last 20 years.
My home cooking is always and usually better than anything from pizza to Chinese to steak. It’s awful to pay 4 times as much for a restaurant meal that I can cook better, cheaper, and with better ingredients, and no tip :D
Of course, being the dishwasher for every bit of it is kind of a let down.
What is your setup? And what’s the holdup?
I have a large drum that fits on the rotisserie on my grill. Picked it up at the thrift store for cheap.
The holdup is me having too many diverse interests in retirement. I love to cook, can, freeze dry and preserve the farm harvest. At the same time doing construction, farming, gardening, .....
Then I spin my hat around and do neuroscience research and psychological/spiritual sessions with people. I have a waiting line that is unending, as the Dr’s refer their idiopathic cases to me. I’m still affiliated with the hospital and med school, attending Grand Rounds in psychiatry and neuroscience.
I’m still a CPA and handle IRS audits and complex cases, but trying to phase that out.
I live in two different states, with my homes 500 miles apart.
Some days I feel like I’m chasing my tail, just spinning in circles.
Thus, roasting coffee beans has not come to the top of my list.
I’m ready to retire from retirement. I’ve been retired for over 30 years. Thus my screen name from over 25 years on FR is Tired&Retired.
