Synergistic Red Fuse ...
To everyone posting here: Do any of you like coffee? I do. I love really great coffee. Its the only coffee I'll drink. Most think the swill Starbucks sells is good coffee. Most people are entirely satisfied drinking swill. They and their friends have been convinced through advertising that just because they spend 5 bucks on a cup of swill, the 5 bucks somehow makes the brew drinkable. Its not ... not by as long shot. The foul bitterness is due to burning the beans and producing in essence charcoal water. The person I bought my speakers from years ago convinced me to get into home roasting my coffee. He showed me where to buy the green coffee beans and all of the equipment needed to get things going. Once everything was set up and the first roast of Guatemala's finest was finished, I brewed a pot of the ebony elixir and took my first sip. It wasn't subtle; it was a revelation in coffee and how it should taste. I experienced hints of ripe plums and faint traces of nutmeg evolving into chocolate overtones as the cup cooled. Bright, crisp and no hint of bitterness at all. Here's the site I use. www.sweetmarias.com The service is exceptional and the coffee is the best you can buy. Expensive? Nope, average price is under seven bucks per pound. The initial investment in the roaster is about the price of three SR Black fuses. Tom, along with his wife Maria, run sweet maria's from their warehouse in San Francisco. Tom travels all over the world to visit small, family owned organic farms. He only buys the best in small lots. For those of you who love coffee like I do, and who can also hear the difference good after market fuses make, even with the ability of hearing the proper orientation of the fuses, I encourage you to visit sweet maria's site. Here's the roaster I settled on: https://www.sweetmarias.com/product/behmor-1600-plus Its totally reliable and you can use it indoors because it has a built in filter and doesn't smoke like most coffee roasters. Once you get the formula right on the roasts, you won't turn back. I've used the Behmor roaster for years with no problems what so ever. Here's the vacuum brewer I use. It produces an exceptionally clean cup of coffee. Much better than a French press by far. https://www.sweetmarias.com/product/yama-vacuum-brewer-two-sizes For those of you who believe that coffee is coffee and it can't be improved upon, forget about it. Just remain in ignorant bliss while drinking swill. Yuck! And no ... I haven't measured the results. Frank |
