Re: Rotisserie/Toaster Oven Coffee Roaster (Pic Heavy)

I would say yes, but it's a pleasing, sweet aroma IMO. I use a drill and heat gun to roast coffee and every time I use either of them outside of roasting, I smell the roasting process. Must be tiny...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

Re: Tatuaje: Face live review

Getting hot at this point. Still tastes great and same flavor profile since the start of the second third. This cigar produces a ton of smoke and I'm really looking forward to the next three! This...

Re: Tatuaje: Face live review

Re: Tatuaje: Face live review

First draws after lighting are full of pepper and spice. A little something sweet on the back end. Smooth profile though.

Tatuaje: Face live review

I'm going to try something a bit different and give my takes as I smoke it.

This is a beautifully made cigar that is one of a five pack I bought on release. I have 3 left.

Re: Rotisserie/Toaster Oven Coffee Roaster (Pic Heavy)

That may be the process for a very dark roast like that. All tutorials I read/watched say to pull the from heat during second crack then cool over 3 minutes. The yankeecoffee guy on YouTube says you...

Re: Corretto roaster, or how to start roasting for less than $100.00

Ted I ordered a Skerton. Going to replace the crank with a hex nut and use a drill on a slow setting to grind the beans. This should keep the center burr more centered during coarse grinding for my...

Re: Rotisserie/Toaster Oven Coffee Roaster (Pic Heavy)

Nice setup you have there. One thing though. I've read a lot about this recently and most sources say a three minute cool down is about optimal. Yours might be cooling too quickly. I'll be makng my...

Thanks for the tips ted. There's a fella from up north on youtube who recommended a krups and a cruisinart and showed a nice little sharpening mod to make them even better. I may go for one...

Re: Corretto roaster, or how to start roasting for less than $100.00

k. During the week, I brew 3/4 a pot of drip in the morning and take my 20oz press to work for an afternoon cup. I really need to get my hands on a 'cheap' ($50-$75) grinder that can give me...

Re: Corretto roaster, or how to start roasting for less than $100.00

Bump, cuz I was just watching vids of different ways to home roast. A heat gun and drill (both of which I already have) attached to some type of drum was my initial choice, but this may win me over...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

That is the best way to cut Torps and Belis IME. Cut the tip off, test the draw, cut more if you need higher flow. I usually test this after lighting. Once a cigar has burned a little bit, the draw...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

I'm with you here. But drawing delicately usually causes burn issues for me. Usually won't stay lit that way.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
