Roasting Again!!!

I'm happy to report that I am roasting again. Woot! After a thorough cleaning, my coffee roaster is up and working, thank goodness. 8 layers of dust did it no harm that I can tell. And as luck would have it, it rained this morning, and the temp is lower, so I didn't feel bad running the roaster.

From filthy to clean

Roasting and Roasted

I'm going to have to order more beans, these that I used were pretty old -- not sure HOW old, over a year for sure. But since they were dry and cool they should still be good. I'll let ya know if the coffee is any good.

There’s a company called Koffietti that blends coffee and tea together. The blends are amazing! You can find out more on their website koffietti.com. Brewed in a coffee filter or tea filter.

I think the only way to tell is to try. Z&D is innovative in its agitation mechanism , has a long roast cycle, and has a neato catalytic converter for smoke.

At the time it was all I could afford. And the reviews were pretty good. There were better machines, but they were also way out of my price range. I think that Z&D roaster is off the market now, so if I decide to replace mine I'll have to start researching from scratch!

I was curious and you don't seem to explain, why you chose your particular Z&D coffee roaster! What benefits did it have over other types of coffee roasters on the market? Did you reckon it was a good brand or a good model?
