    My new sr800 will be here this coming Friday 5.17.2024 with extension tube. I constructed my own drum roaster and I have used twice so far and it does a really good job. From all of my research, even with large commercial roasters, air roasting is much better than drum roasting. Most commercial roasters are drum but I think that is going to change in the future and most will be done by air. Much cleaner and not as hard to copy profile and you can see the beans much better.

    I like both. My main roaster is gas and it's fantastic and evenly roasted. But, for the money you can't beat an SR800 with a Fresh Roast from Razzo

    I have a problem with my Baratza Encore. I bought the machine second-hand and everything looked fine at first. Then I noticed that the grinder was hardly grinding any beans at the lower speed range and was therefore no longer producing ground coffee. I had already ordered the paddle wheel and the felt from you and then the drive shaft and the grindstone directly from Baratza. I then replaced everything according to the instructions. I also recalibrated the grinder according to Baratza's instructions. At level 10, virtually no more flour comes out. You can also hear from the grinding noise that the beans are not being ground and are skipping the grinder. The hopper remains full. I have no idea where the fault could lie.

    I am waiting on the sr800 when it comes back in stock. I enjoy someone like you showing a roasting without a damn computer telling you what every move to make. I know some people love the idea of Artisan to do their work. That to me is not learning how to get the job done the right way. Thanks again for the lessons without a damn computer. I watch another channel I won't say who but he uses a lot of machines handed to him for evaluation. But every time you see his videos, here goes the damn Artisan program. He gets so long winded with this crap. The guy is good at roasting but man. I put a comment in his post tonight and ask him if he good do some roasting manually and not with a laptop. He was roasting on the Bullet and we know how much that thing cost. The way I see it, if I am going to spend over $3000 on a roaster for the house, it better be able to get the job done without Artisan . Jerry Irmo SC USA [email protected]

    Hi there... I watch all of your videos. You're just about the only one doing roasts with the SR800 and the Razzo tubes. I'm testing out a roast I did about 5 or 6 days ago using my 800 and V5T tube. I took it to a city+ at about 430° via the B/T probe on the Razzo. The flavor just isn't what I though it should be for that level roast. SO... I was wondering! If I'm using the B/T to judge roast level, then how accurate is the B/T with the Razzo tube? I don't know if anyone has ever tried to see. I wish I had some "crap" beans to get a roast up to maybe 425° and then just shut down the SR800 to see the temp of the bean mass without the air affecting it. That would give me an idea of how much lower the B/T is for deciding when to drop. Have you ever thought of this?

  • @drinksunbear
    @drinksunbear4 ай бұрын

    Thanks for watching! I'm probably a bad one to ask regarding that. I am very much a by eye or ear kind of guy. Colorwise I mean. Doing a "waste batch" is probably not a bad idea to get it to the temp that you want. I'd say make sure to do a warm up period like Kent says in his instructions about 5 mins

  • @timothyhestand9439
    @timothyhestand94394 ай бұрын

    @@drinksunbear Yep... Think I will try. I normally take my Honduran Marcala to full city level so I may do a batch and stop it about 10° before and let it set for a moment to see how the B/T changes with no air. Then I can cool rapidly....

    I have a question about selling coffee at street fairs and farmers markets. I’m thinking about bringing a portable roaster and setting it up in the stand where I sell the bagged coffee. Not so I can sell small quantities of coffee from the roaster but to fill the air with the smell of roasting coffee as a way to attract people to the booth. Any thoughts?

    Nice and practical video! Thanks for making it! I did a test on my Rancilio Silvia and it seems like previous owner did OPV adjustment, coz it gives 120ml per 30 seconds. Actually I have no problems brewing my esspresso, but when I starts a pump, it is accompanied by sufficiently strong vibrations, so that the glass can "run away". Visually, the pump is in good condition, the rubber mounts look aged, but not torn. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
