You might try this, it's different but I do like it:

Red Den Blend — Dallis Bros. Coffee

[wmidkiff]

Keeping the Virginia roasters love going:

Red Rooster Coffee

They are based out of Floyd (a cool little town to spend a day in) and have some wonderful roasts, I've enjoyed a lot of their single origins and their Holiday Sweet Blend. Their new cafe there is quite the complex, they have a full on 'test kitchen' behind the scenes upstairs where they were working on making their own extracts and holding barista training classes

No kidding? That's a great lead thanks. I'm in Floyd fairly often and will check it out.

Sure thing! I'd be interested in hearing how you think they stack up against the rest.

Will do. FWIIW Trager Brother in Lovingston Trager Brothers Coffee "Blend 90" kinda blew doors off almost everything I've ever roasted and that's not toooo far from you.

I'm in Nelson Co. quite a bit so I'll surely be stopping by next chance I have.

Praise all that is good and right Behmor AB Home Coffee Roaster are shipping once again.

Sheesh.

[Too Tall]

Knocked out my first 1/2 lb batch with the Behmor and I think we are going to be good friends.
Would love to hear tips and program notes that work for you.
LOL I did fail to hit + to add time before the unattended "feature" kicked in and had to off/on to get past first crack.
The coffee came out really well. I'm impressed.

Yo Toots, where did you set up the Behmor? How's the smoke control? My local roaster is going out of business, and there's nobody doing comparable work in town, so I'm thinking about getting back into home roasting. Gotta get my Ethiopia dry process fix. Behmor is at the top of my list right now.

I just noticed this. I had a pottery friend who lived in Floyd at an artist colony (?) for a while. Small world and all.

i put mine next to a stove with a exhaust hood. Smoke control is pretty great. The vapors which do escape are enough that you will want to roast in a space where you can vent. It is not bad.

Happy thus far, this is proven tech.

I am finding out more and more about Floyd. Its a pretty goovy place.

Mudhouse Intention blend from c'ville is my go to. I have an older Behmor and haven't upgraded to the V2 pad yet, although I should, as roasted ethiopian beans are really pricey.

AI and robotics at work...long live the human barista but for how long?

[rwsaunders]

Christmas present for that lady barista in your house...loosely translated...badass lady barista...and the ladies at my favorite shop are just that.

George Vanderbilt liked coffee too...

[Too Tall]

Gosh that's lovely.

Forgive me TooTall for I have sinned...I bought a hardly touched Nespresso VirtuoLine machine and accompanying Aeroccino milk frother last month from a tech dude who is relocating, so that I can make some decent coffee while I’m in Seattle. I’m only here one/week per month and I can’t justify investing in a full blown machine and grinder. My sin (blasphemy) is admitting that the damn machine works really, really well and the gent threw in 7 boxes of a variety of capsules to sweeten the deal...it seems like $50 well spent.

Say three hail Alfonsos and call it good. You've paid your debts in full.

After several years of service, the hinge on my Behmor drum finally gave out. A replacement is on order from Behmor. Lets hope that final pound lasts long enough.
