Back to coffee roasting

The turbo crazy is back in action. I’d had it stored away for a while. Almost three years ago, we moved to Colorado. Two years ago we moved a but further into the mountains. Fresh roasted coffee now takes 25 minutes round trip to acquire. I’ve hit the point where I buy half a bag of green beans every so often. The amazing part is that the original turbo crazy that I built over 10 years ago still works great!

I have had issues with very cold, windy days causing uneven roasting. I’m considering upgrades to the roaster…

Stupid espresso machine trick #31

I ran across this egg post by Saul on Instructables. (He’s one of the founders) The other day I was up early to go off to the pool and help teach SCUBA – and I needed some protein. Yes, it’s totally possible and awesomely handy to make steam eggs with your espresso machine. It takes less time that it does to steam milk and makes an excellent quick warm breakfast to go with an Americano at wake up time.
