I hope it's obvious that one of my hobbies is photography, or at least the attempt of photography.
My other hobby, so to speak, is coffee roasting. My brother got me hooked by giving my some green coffee beans and a used air popper. I loved it so much that I eventually purchased an actual coffee roaster that has a half pound capacity. Fresh brewed coffee from fresh roasted beans is the best way to start off a day.
Always had to roast outdoors with the popper. There was too much smoke and chaff. Nearly impossible to roast during the winter.
With the gene cafe model I can collect the chaff and route the smoke through an open window.
Here I'm weighing the beans to pack into vented bags.

I drink at least 5-6 cups per day.
Re: My other hobby
Oh man, that's great! Do you grow your own beans too? That would complete the circle wouldn't it?

And no I don't grow my own beans. Wyoming has the elevation but it's a little far from the equator.
Doc, I'm a 4-5 cup persone myself. Usually I drink it black, but every once in awhile I fire up the espresso machine and spoil myself with a triple shot espresso or homemade hazelnut latte.
I saw a guy on youtube once that said don't let your camera control you, learn to control your camera. I believe the same thing applies to coffee. And besides now I can photograph the coffee roasting and accomplish two great things at once, how can I go wrong with that?Birma wrote:Wow - that really is going back to first principles!
