I tend to nurse my coffee over about an hour, perhaps a bit more, so I like the insulated mug.

At the hour mark, I'm considering whether I want my third mug, or not.

I am a confirmed pour over anarchist.

Been that way for forty years or more. Still use my original pour over funnel. I think I paid $2 at the local grocery store for it.

My first choice and preference is for this dark roast bean:

I drink coffee very black and unsweetened.

At the hour mark I’m on the second pot.

Former partner of mine was at the doctor's.

Doc: "How much coffee do you drink."

Jim: "Two or three"

Doc; "Cups..."

Jim: "Pots."

One of our nurses used to drink even more of that. One day, Ken wasn't feeling too good - lightheaded and faint. We laid him down on a cart in Recovery Room, and hooked him up to a monitor.

He was in a-fib at a rate of about 160.

He stopped drinking coffee and never had another episode.

As it should be. Hugs to you, Renauda, for being so smart.

Maybe just old-fashioned. Quaint, even.

Water’s off the boil. I’ll fetch a filtre and mug, two or three spoons of java? Your call.

Three please, friend. I'll bring the coffee cake, plenty to share, and you can return the cake pan when you next come by. I never run out of cake pans.

Jumped into yet another rabbit hole today.

Roasting coffee beans. First 3 or 4 batches are throwaway. Meant to season the roaster.

I will be doing a few more tomorrow then I need to let them sit and outgas the CO2 for 3 days before tasting.

The roaster is a Kaleido M1 with touchscreen and two software package options for developing and saving roast profiles.

[Aqua Letifer]

How long do you let sit after roasting?

[mark]

That photo is right after they exited the roaster. It's best to let them outgas for 3 or more days before use.

Now, to show how old I am...I can remember as a little kid, grandma roasting coffee beans in the oven.

[mark]

You can certainly roast coffee beans in an oven. It's not as precise and you are essentially using one temperature level, and no air or bean circulation. All of those variables (and few more that I am learning) lead to a better, more consistent roast.

Some will start out using an air popcorn popper. You can buy modified air poppers marketed as coffee roasters.

I wanted more control of course so I spent a few hundred to make that happen.
