Hi, My name is Philip and I live near the SW side of Houston. I've been home roasting my coffee for over 3 years. I order most of my beans from Sweet Maria's...
HI, Phillip! Welcome! 3 years as a homeroaster! Wow - I've only been at this since last October. I used to live in Houston, now live in Snyder but get back...
Welcome, Phillip... I echo Justin's suggestion about Dalton and particularly the Oaxaca. Haven't heard about the Ethiopian restaurant you mention, but I think...
Welcome Phillip I totaly agree with everyone on Dalton Coffee. When he sells you a pound he means a pound of roasted beans which is about 1lb 3oz of green. I...
I had a trip into Midland on Monday and while there I picked up a "Kitchen Gourmet" air popper at Walgreen's for $7.99. It has the side slot design and is...
Welcome fellow Houston Roaster!!! I have seen that Ethiopian place on Richmond but we never ventured in there. Sounds cool that they roast coffee at the table...
Last time we were in Houston, I tried to drop in at Mitalena and never could find it. I was hoping to get some decaf from them since Dalton doesn't carry...
Yes, definately call ahead at Mitalena. They're really not set up as a storefront and it works out best to give them a chance to ready your order ahead of...
... Hey, Justin...speaking of screen bottom poppers...did you ever send those beads along? I never received them. Still no rush, I just wanted to find out if...
... ++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Kitchen Gourmet air popper is on sale at Walgreens for $7.99 until Saturday. That's $2.00 off the regular price. I bought one...
First of all, hello Philip and welcome! Like Justin, I've only been home roasting a short time, since early October or so with a FR8+. I'm sure there's nothing...
... I've seen? ++++++++++++++++++++ The hurricane lantern mod is the same as adding a tin can to the top of the roasting chamber on the popcorn popper, except...
Hi everyone, I took some time and set up some information in the Database and the Links section of the Groupsite. In the database section, I added a folder...
I've been giving my FR+ 20-30 minutes to cool down between roasts... wouldn't want to get too distracted with multitasking & waste some precious SMs greens....
... Good grief, Mike! Two-and-a-half hours? Why so long? If it's small roaster volume, you seriously need to look into the Stir Crazy Turbo Oven combo. gene...
Where does one go to get a hurrican lantern chimney sans oil reservoir? I've got a lantern(somewhere) but don't want to sacrifice the chimney just yet. ... ...
... reservoir? ... chimney just ... I've seen some glass chimneys without the lantern at Walmart. They are around all of the home decor items at the Missouri...
... Best shot is a really good, old fashioned hardware store, Jamison. Southland on Westheimer in town is always a good source and there is one in my...
Thanks for the info, Gene and Philip.Looks like a visit to the dratted Wal-Mart is looming after the visit to Walgreens. Mike -----Original Message----- From:...
Hi Gene, Hanging out in the back yard is one of my favorite down-time activities. Haul out the little tv to watch sports, or do a little gardening, play in the...
... Oh, I quite agree, Mike. It's only a drag when you're running out of coffee and their isn't enough time to stop for a leisurely roast...or your coffee...
I love mine too - for that and for the absolute control of the roast that is possible. I use a cheap digital oven probe type thermometer I got for $20 and I...
Hello Gene, Mike I've been lurking and following the conversation with interest as my I-Roaster gaskets are getting a little tired, so I went out and bought a...
... for the 2nd crack. ... some friends who are curious about fresh roasting but are not sure that they want to invest in this hobby. This is the no pain way...
Hi Joe, Gene knows a lot more about these issues than I do... I've only been roasting since early October and am still pretty far down on "the wild learning...
The web page where I got mine says it's out of stock, but here's the URL: http://www.indoorhealthproducts.com/912.htm Gene Smith <gene@...> wrote: How...
Thanks Jon. Looks like the Steel probe is nearly 6" long. Should get you well into many or most home roast hardware designs. And a good price too. Mike...
