[TheForge] Coffee roasting

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

Been doing my own for over 3 years...I can send pics of my rig
modifications (for pics of the 2 pieces follow the links below).
GALLOPING GOURMET roasting unit and a STIR CRAZY popcorn popper as the
hopper/agitator unit. I do 2 cups at a time...Best roast yet is a
Col/Sumatra/Ethiopian....

I have a drum sample roaster that does a half pound at a a time. Called
a "Hottop". Cost over a year ago was $600 plus. Roasters ain't cheap. 
New one on the market at $300. The Behmor 1600. Good reviews so far. 
Does a pound at a shot.

I've come to the conclusion in the massive amount of experience gathered
in my three months of forging that coffee is an integral part of
smithing.

Sipping on a cup of Yemen Mokha Mattari roasted to Full City Plus (just
a few snaps into second crack) before I go out to light the forge.

Ah, heaven.
