My $6 thrift store popcorn popper roasts better beans than my $180 drum roaster and I do not know how to feel

Ruined 4 pounds of green beans in my garage because I trusted a $9 thermometer

Used to eyeball my pour over, now I use a $12 kitchen scale from Target and it fixed everything

Thought a $20 popcorn popper was too cheap to roast coffee, three batches later I'm eating my words

Roasted my first batch of Ethiopian beans in a $20 popcorn popper, and now my $400 drum roaster sits in the closet

Guy at a roastery in Portland told me my grinder settings don't matter if I don't let the beans rest 3 days after roasting

Stop weighing your green beans on a $12 kitchen scale, mine drifted 4 grams and wrecked a whole roast

Vent: dropped $85 on a drum roaster thermometer and it finally fixed my scorched batches

Just realized my $9 popcorn air popper does a better job roasting than my drum did

Update: spent 2 months blaming my grinder for sour shots, and it was my $12 scale the whole time

My neighbor in Boise said cold brew is just lazy iced coffee and I think she has a point

Appreciation post: the scale showed me I was way off on my pour over ratio

Warning: my first try at roasting with a popcorn popper set off every smoke alarm in the house
