This is exciting. So far I've only roasted from the 1/2 lb samples; this gives me some capacity to compare two different roasts of the same bean. Notice the Robusta -- I'll try an expresso roast w/a bit of the Robusta. But, I've not yet installed the thermometer, so I'm still roasting by color & smell.
The bottom line
I spend about 2.5 times these prices per pound and use about a pound/week. That means in about 4o short weeks I'll save enough for a fairly good roaster. A really good toaster, the kind Tom uses only costs about $17,000. I can afford that in about 2,000 weeks. Let me know if you want to make a donation.
