I use a fancy popcorn popper called the FreshRoast SR800. It can easily make 12 oz of coffee in about 7 minutes. I typically let me coffee degas for 1-2 weeks so that it isnt so bubbly when I bloom.

that was a really dark roast. at least FC+ if not vienna, judging from the smoke while roasting, and the shiny bean surface when pouring out the beans, and all the oil on the surface when doing your grinding. i'd suggest trying again and stopping the roast earlier to see how the coffee tastes then. i am on my third behmor, and have probably logged at least 700 roasts over the past 10 years.

Great content! Surprised you cured the roasted beans for a week. I have read that 12-24 hours is sufficient and that has worked well for me.

I thought the tumbling was meant to stop it from burning? why did it burn (smoke)? what is the temperature of the roaster? will a rotisserie air fryer at 400F work?

Why wait 7 days after roasting before you grind and brew? I roast my own beans and assumed, as soon as they've cooled down to room temperature, they're ready to brew, no?

If you’re up for suggestions- I’d like to see how a pop corn maker could be used and compare the resulting coffee to the roaster you’ve used here. Thanks for your videos

What about flavorings? How would one make a flavored coffee with that?

Yess. Giving us the homeroast challenge series we don't deserve? I hope so, anyway

a couple of other thoughts. don't fret about chaff in the beans, as it won't affect the taste of the pour over. and waiting a full week is not necessary. 48 hours of rest time should be adequate. i don't think you gain anything after that point. let us know when you have tried a different roast "recipe"!
