Hank: the "mold in teh your coffee" guy sounds like he's selling snake oil to me.
Although I don't buy mine from poison, here's some underage coffee porn. That's 8 lb of assorted espresso blends and dry-process Ethiopians for the holidays and gifts for the family. Tme to fire up the ghetto roaster.

So ****ing dumb. ^
Bulletproof...he's combining coffee with tibetan yak butter tea. His spiel about mold...yeah, if you buy ****ty coffee it sucks, no duh. He states 91% of all coffee is contaminated with mold. Awesome...good thing myself, and any other good roaster, is buying the top .1% of all coffee produced. Oh, and by the way buy my coffee. |

Lol, I was referring to his 'all coffee sucks, besides mine' nonsense. But awesome, thanks, I'll take care of you bro.
Jds, I usually don't sell green. Sweet Marias kicks ass, as does coffee project. |

You've got that right. I credit Sweet Maria's and a decent machine at home for my wife's conversion to "Starbucks drinks are only OK, at absolute best." I'm now ordering Sweet Maria's Espresso Monkey blend 3 lbs at a pop. I only roast up about a half pound at a time though.

Currently my setup from roaster to cup is: Gene Cafe drum roaster (replacing a hot-air roaster that I dropped on my tile floor) Rancilio MD-50 (purchased used because no way in hell would the wife have stayed with me had I pruchased a $1100 grinder) And a Gaggia Evolution (At least until I can talk the wife into a Astra Pro) |

I generally only make coffee at work, and I have already gotten crap about having my own coffee maker.

As for my setup, I roast with a hot air popcorn popper from the Goodwill store down the street, grind with a Bodum Cafe grinder, and make espresso with a Gaggia Carrezza machine. The steam tip has been replaced with the Panarello tip from Whole Latte Love, but the rest is stock. The machine was about $60 on Craigslist, because the owner thought it was broken. All it needed was a good descaling. I don't do milk drinks, so wifey has the final say n steaming, but with the WLL tip, the machine does good microfoam. Lots of the espresso review sites don't seem to like the Bodum cafe grinders, but I think it's just because it doesn't cost $$texas. It grinds coarse enough for my French press, and can choke the Gaggia if the grind is too fine. That's enough adjustment range for me. |

Ok with the initial caveat of saying yes this is currently with store bought beans and my $90 Delonghi. If I grind to what an espresso grind should be and tamp to even close to 30lbs on even a de-pressurized portafilter it is way over 25sec for it to make a double It barely drips out. How is 15bar not enough?
I have mastered the use of the frothier tho |

The coffee they make at work (dealership, in waiting room) is the WORST slurry I have ever tasted/smelled. I can't believe they serve it to customers, and they still drink it.
