I was chilling out hoping that UPS would show up. It was after 7:00 when I heard the rumble of the diesel of the Brown truck and the door bell rang. As I stepped outside to get my 30 plus pound box, it was a box that weighed less than 3 pounds and it wasn't addressed to me! About 45 minutes went by and BROWN returned to my house! Yes, Yes, it was my box of wonderful coffees. Now, which one should I roast after doing a test half pound? I have some other new coffees that are looking good too! Lots of great choices. I need to roast for my parents, regular customers now that I have converted them to homeroast.

" I need to roast for my parents, regular customers now that I have..." [taught them where to purchase, sponge, mooch, leech, and scrounge Les' roast.] I fear that if sales of Specialty coffee increase, The Invisible Hand will ramp up prices as supplies are depleted. The Invisible Finger will force greater production from depleted lands and expansion into neighboring valleys and swamps. Cuppers don't generate flavors. When they're extinct they're gone, and *we *probably can't ever get them back. Khaldi's goats might drop dead if they ate the GMO Scheiße.

Les, what a wonderful problem to have. Oh, how I love the sound of that brown truck hitting its brakes in front of my house. Last night I roasted my first half pound of wet processed Koratie and I have to say, the roast went incredibly well. Things timed out as I had planned and hoped, and guessed, a bit. The smell is enticing, the color is saying, "ground me." I want to give it at least a full days rest before I do that. I also roasted, the day before, my first pre-roasted blend, from SM. It was Moka Kadir and I was a bit confused on how to take the various beans to where they want to be for the best roast. With so many posts, archives, and, of course, Les's notes, it went well. I had a small chaff fire, just pulled the chaff tray out. Then I would open the door to the Behmor at times to speed cooling. I don't worry about the chaff as I have a stainless steel floor and it is a breeze to clean, plus it won't ignite. The flavor is everything Les describes and more. I find the flavor to be "elegant" in its softness on the tongue, in the way the flavors seek out the taste buds and mix together. I am very pleased, though I know that I need more work on it, this was a start. So, like you, my stash is getting quite large, but I am also roasting more, oddly enough, more for me. I find I am drinking more coffee than in the past. I find it so refreshing and relaxing. Thanks for your share and good luck with your decision.

The stainless steel floor gives the kitchen a nice, very clean look (and yes, the floor is very easy to clean). It isn't slippery, usually - I am kind of slow on cleaning it. That is the one thing, it needs to be cleaned quite often, for foot prints, paw prints, plus crumbs all show up very distinctly, and now chaff shows up. I will say that it looks good with the Behmor and Technivorm.
