Oh NO, not Again!

germantown rob · 12-11-2009, 12:23 PM

So I have been happily roasting coffee for a bit now and find I am hitting the wall with my Hottop B roaster, the problem is there isn't anything left on the consumer level so I am looking to the prosumer machines.

Something like this

My wife's only comment was "when is this home roasting supposed to start saving money?" "When I die" was all I could come up with

.

So if anybody wants to buy a cat or two, an unborn boy, a crazy 2 year old girl (she is small and will fit almost anywhere and gets good millage out of a carrot), blood and/or plasma shoot me a pm and make my dream a reality

.

That's quite a dream there, Rob

Looks right capable though.

I'm ok on pets and kids, but would certainly consider buying the hottop.

There is a line, lol. I don't think I will part with the HT, if I ever go pro I will owe it all to this machine and will probably display it proudly on a pedestal.

This product is permanently discontinued. All inventory SOLD OUT!

That's really odd, since they haven't started production yet. I can understand not wanting to take too many pre-orders and getting too far behind, but the whole "permanently discontinued" thing is odd to me, given as they haven't even gotten started yet

Did she reply, "that won't be long"??

The HR-1 is discontinued the IR-1 is going into production but I am a little confused myself. I am going to put some effort into finding something used before I pull the trigger on any new machines and I have plenty of research to find out on many companies out there.

, but she did say she needed a new car before I get the roaster. I hope she doesn't mind a Kia

Man, that is NOT cool. Now I want one of these things.

Maybe I can open a coffee shop to justify it...

Mister Moo · 12-14-2009, 11:30 AM

Is that the one with a fibeglass shell and an SCCO inside?

I will never become the head roaster for Folgers with this kind of encouragement

.

germantown rob · 03-25-2010, 12:16 PM

So I pulled the trigger and have an IR-1 being built for me. It will take some time before I receive it

. So a new baby, a new house, and a new roaster should all be coming with in a few weeks of one another.

I would like to point out this is all Mr Moo's fault, with out him I would blissfully be ordering coffee from roasters and grinding them in my whirly blade grinder to brew in my moka pot, now I have many brew devices including an Oscar espresso machine just like him, multiple burr grinders, a few coffee roasters, and a commercial roasting machine being made for me. Thanks Dan!

I would laugh, but it would seem inappropriate, and a foreshadowing of Karma kicking me in the pants somewhere in the future. I will not, and thusly stave off that possible outcome.

Good luck GTown.

You're welcome, Germ'b.

There's not really much point in mentioning it now but I said "Deer'll make ya rich." I was talking about venison. I never said "Diedrich," you crazy dutchman. I tend to slur my words, though. Sorry about any confusion.

floydpink · 03-25-2010, 07:34 PM

wow, that's big time right there Rob. They've only been manufacturing those a couple months, right?

03-25-2010, 08:19 PM

Tell the wife Maybe you'd MAKE money if you had one of them sweet machines and marketed yr own coffee. Hmmm...if you did start a coffee co. what would ya name it?

Yes, the first round of production should be getting to people now. The great thing with the IR-1 one is it pairs up well with any of there IR series so I am already saving up for the IR-12.

This is one more step towards a business that is planned for 2 years from now. No names yet and with over 60 choices in roaster color I guess a smarter man would have that figured out if he wanted his roaster to match the color of his logo. I have a long way to go before I sell beans so for the time being friends, family and cuppers will get a whole lot of coffee

. It was a long hard research to come to the decision on getting the Diedrich. What machines do you roast on?
