I did it!! My first home roast.
With the help from you fine gentlemen, I was successful on my first try!
The only really setback on the whole process was constantly getting outbid on ebay for the original poppery. I actually bid up to $58 shipped on a used one with a cracked lid and missing butter dish, and still got outbid. Those babies are like gold mines. Then, after getting discouraged, I asked my wife to visit the ONLY thrift shop in town. I wrote down the popper I was looking for and low and behold I got a call at work saying she found the Original West Bend Poppery for $5.00. I was soooo pumped because the Unclebeanz had arrived via usps that day also. Now for the roasting part. Since this was my first time, I had Norman roast some El Salador "La Illusion" and Guatemala El Injerto for me and I also bought some greenies of the same kind so I could compare. I watched a few YouTube videos and I was ready. I am proud to say that my very first roast looks identical to Norman's. I brewed up some of Norman's roast last night while mine were resting. Holy smokes, that was the greatest cup of coffee I ever had. I must say that I was really excited this morning when I started grinding my own roast. I know it was a little early, but I couldn't help myself. It smell great while brewing so I had high hopes. Now for the first sip........GREAT. Just as good as Norman's! Thanks Mad Dawg and all the others who have given me tips so I can start down yet another slope because of Cigar Weekly. Mark
