If you guys are interested, I'm posting a worklog of my espresso machine restoration/upgrade here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=78261.0

Will the upgrade be completed by Sunday?

For sure

I know it's not coffee but this is my favorite caffeine mix!
Tea and dark chocolate, and from England!! Yummm, thank you so much smarmar!!

I already ate some chocolate

and I'll have a cup of tea before bed. I'm so excited to try some, the smell is amazing ^_^

Thank you again, what an awesome surprise

smarmar · « **Reply #702 on:** Wed, 13 January 2016, 23:37:13 »

You're totally welcome, Jema!
I'm glad you like the chocolate. I have yet to try it and it looked exotic. I'll see what other kinds of fancy treats that place has.

Any Dutchies around? Anything better than Simon Levelt?

I always go to Simon Levelt to buy my coffee, which is a Dutch coffee brand and shop with a long history.

I led them grind it and then I put it in my freezer to preserve the taste and smell. I have a vacuum container to store my fresh coffee to preserve aroma's and taste and I make coffee by manually poring. Tastes best for me.

Not Dutch, but I know that the best espresso machines in the world come from over there. Here in the UK the specialty coffee scene is booming. There are any number of places you can get great/amazing/life-changing coffee, either in a cup to drink right now or beans to brew at home. My experience is that many of the older suppliers haven't really caught on to the whole first-three-weeks-after-roasting thing yet, and often roast too dark to get any interesting flavours out of their beans. The (many!) new upstart small-scale roasters are really where it's at.

edit: Had a look around Simon Levelt website but didn't find what I was looking for - basically if they write the roast date on the package then it's probably pretty decent.

They usually do write that on the package, but not always. Depends on the employee you get. But most of them are actual baristas trained by Simon Levelt themselves. They even pay their employees to visit bean fields and see how coffee is actually produced. But there are also these vacation employees who can barely distinguish coffee from tea.

smarmar · « **Reply #715 on:** Thu, 24 March 2016, 14:10:09 »

I bought some Counter Culture beans from Fresh Market on a whim the other day. I settled on this one because it was the only brand that sported a roast date and the aroma wafting from the vent was amazing! It's really good with a rich, bold, fruity taste. It isn't described as fruity on the package therefore I think the undertones are coming from the crema I've been adding to it which was made from my leftover Cuban espresso. Just look at that head!

jaffers · « **Reply #716 on:** Thu, 24 March 2016, 14:13:27 »

Might start looking around the local markets for some coffee soon, even though I just got a new bag, I go through about 1kg of grinds every two weeks D:

Are there people here doing the roasting themselves? I can trade from my home country.. The Netherlands. I'm curious about more Brazilian beans. My local shop is Simon Levelt. They grind beans freshly and put them in airtight plastic lined bags that I put in the freezer back at home.

quick question, what do you do when your beans start becoming "wet"?
It's freaking spring here with low humidity and yet I notice this happening regardless of where I store them.

It is likely the oils coming out of the beans as they age. Particularly on darker roasts. It is said that freezing the beans can accelerate this.

Never ever open a container of cold beans (just out of the fridge or freezer, which I don't recommend anyway). This will cause condensation on them and they will go rancid much faster.

The oil on the outside of the beans is not something to worry about. It's best to wash oil out of your grinder hopper, jar, etc as the oil is what goes rancid in coffee primarily. The oils can also make your grinder's burrs a little sticky. If that happens, just run some minute rice through it and the rice will flush it out and absorb any excess oil in there.

It is likely the oils coming out of the beans as they age. Particularly on darker roasts. It is said that freezing the beans can accelerate this.

Never ever open a container of cold beans (just out of the fridge or freezer, which I don't recommend anyway). This will cause condensation on them and they will go rancid much faster.

The oil on the outside of the beans is not something to worry about. It's best to wash oil out of your grinder hopper, jar, etc as the oil is what goes rancid in coffee primarily. The oils can also make your grinder's burrs a little sticky. If that happens, just run some minute rice through it and the rice will flush it out and absorb any excess oil in there.

I recently bought a bag of espresso bean from Mazzaro's Italian Market in St. Pete and the beans were oily and wet right out of the shoot. They made a fine cup o' joe, though. I just had to clean the grinder more often because there was some gunk action going on. I'll have to try the dry rice technique next time.

And for all of you Tampa/St. Pete people, I recommend a trip to Mazzaro's. They brew the best espresso I've ever had!

I thoroughly enjoyed my Little Cuban Friend by Coffee Shop Of Horrors ~~while it lasted~~. I picked it up at my local game/comics/art shoppe called Gods & Monsters. It was rather oily, which I like, but I had to clean my grinder several times throughout the bag's lifespan Recommend!

Looks yummy bro! You need to make me a cup of that one of these days...

So, I've done some modifications to my roaster. Picked up a metal tool cart off CL, added an arduino computer interface and a little screen.

Damn that is a high class setup. I might need to stop by if I end up in Florida.
