    Hi, I roast with a Hive home roaster and can get some decent results. I usually dump very soon after first crack has ended as I generally enjoy lighter roasts that I brew with a French press or aeropress. I have just got a Gaggia classic pro and am going to roast some beans specifically for...

    I use the hive and coffee compass, I usually ring them to discuss which greens to buy. The mystery coffee is 2kg but all the other green coffee comes in 1kg bags

    Yes I use one, I love it. I have the datadome version connected to Artisan (free) on my PC so I can see the temperature profile and copy old profiles. The ideal batch size is 150g so roasting for family and friends is my limit. There is a learning curve as there is for most things but its not...

    Have a look at the Hive roaster, this is basically a pan but it can be great to learn to roast on. You can get a temperature probe to connect it to your PC and use the Artisan software (free) and use roast profiles. It gives a very even roast and a batch size of 150g works well. It is a manual...

    I don't think that the loss of mass is a problem, if the beans taste good after a few days of degassing then everything is ok. Perhaps the beans have a high moisture content to start with. You could try some different beans and see how they compare or roast another batch a bit lighter and...

    I roast 150g batches, any deviation and you have to rethink your heat input and expected timings. I try to hold the roaster loosely in both hands and keep my elbows still and tucked into my body, this reduces fatigue and the chance of tennis elbow. I can easily do 3 roasts back to back like this.

    Hi, I recommend that you follow Mathew from Hive on Instagram and watch his videos. If you have any questions ask him, he is super helpful and patient.

    I'm doing my due diligence on the Behmor 2020 SR Plus before taking the plunge and would like to know if you can change the temperature readout from Deg F to Deg C? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Hi, I'm discovering new aspects of coffee that I never knew existed, and my goal is to get delicious coffee at home for a reasonable price. I'm brewing better coffee than ever in a Aeropress, buying fresh beans from local roasters, grinding them myself immediately before brewing. I have dipped a...
