Imma mix it up a bit here and talk about feelings. You know...like, the impact on caffeine on one's mind.
I thoroughly enjoy two things (like I'd assume most of you do): Coffee and alcohol. I drink coffee until about 3:30 PM each day (always have a cup at 3:00, otherwise I'm worthless in the evenings). Then around 6:30 PM I switch to whatever I'm feeling - lately it's been wine.
I'm a naturally anxious person, and the coffee definitely doesn't help calm my anxiety, but I tend to really enjoy chilling a bit with a glass of beer or wine each night - helps with the anxiety.
This makes me think - mixing the two (coffee and alcohol) are kind of like mixing uppers and downers in a way. Wonder if it can be bad for the body?
Anyone else have any thoughts about it? Experience?
I'm a Mickelson fan, but this upsets me. He's got a good start - pressing a Yirg, but then adds a bunch of un-necessaries!

So clearly you guys haven't heard of "bulletproof" coffee. Replace the almond milk with butter, remove the cocoa nibs and cinnamon. Some people swear by it, I've never tried it myself.

The bloom! Love Tanzanian coffee.
Anyone considering the latest Yrg @ SM's? I've never heard them boast about a coffee being extraordinary for drip. Probably gonna grab a couple pounds as I'm a sucker for Yrgs anyway

My new thermometer & thermocouples came in lastnight so i updated the configuration of the HG/BM & ran a 1lb roast. Total roast time was 14min with 1C at about 12:00. I'll push it a little faster next time but the development looks good. I had to brew a cup in the Awropress right away. Ok so far
Probes from the inside view
Ghetto bean cooling - thank goodness it's cold outside!

Oh, sure, wait until a week after I place an order to point out a tasty sounding coffee there.
I actually have 3 bread machines at the moment and this project is on my short list. Can you post links or describe how you mount the heat gun and the temp probes?
I have decided I like ethiopian beans the best so far.
Story of my life...
The short side of the story is to direct wire the motor and bypass (and/or) cut out the the rest of unnecessary BS. Here is a good thread to point you in the right direction. Let me know if you get stuck as is certainly can get confusing your first time around:

Ps - 1 tip; place your bean temp prob low in the dough pan so the hot air doesn't throw the readings off too much. I bought 1/8" thick probes and drilled 3/16" holes. Only pain is pulling them out when the roast is done so you can remove the pan & dump your roast into whatever cooling media you have
My friend went to/sc route. Said he doesnt hear a loud good 1c.?! Said he hears it go fairly sharp psst, psst. Any thoughts? One beans he said 15 min to 1c. another 30 min. One was sumatran and the other was semi washed sulawesi. Said the semiwashed had more mucilage(sp.).
I was about 12 months overdue for cleaning the guts of the Behmor. The wires were so dusty they looked like pipe cleaners.

How in the heck did you get it that clean? If i had a behmor i would be running to get a screwdriver. What does the inside look like? That would need cleaned to no?
I'm so exhausted and have so much going on outside of work the next week that I broke out the coffee maker. I don't think I could have managed to pour the Chemex or plunge the Press, so it was the best I could do.
And I liked it. There was just something glorious about continuous, steaming hot refills. Sure, it wasn't quite as good as the Chemex; but it hit the spot!
@harbortown I have been cold brewing lately for same reasons. I really really like it. Like two reallys worth, that much. The light roast ethiopian is like drinking blueberry scone flavored coffee. I microwave it to warm or crush it cold.
I really want the auto drip oxo passedpawn mentioned.

Brazilian this morning is much better than yesterday. It's possible that it changed in one day, but I suspect something else.
I find that the same coffee can taste totally different a day later. Might have to do with my mouth more than the coffee.
Whoa whoa whoa,which Ethiopian are you drinking and getting blueberry flavors from?
I mean, it has to be the most sought after coffee - a blueberry bomb Ethiopian. Hard to find a good one
One of my brothers (he's in Calif) bought that dripper and the oxo grinder and love them. I haven't gotten him into roasting yet, but it's right around the corner I'm sure
