    May not be a travel mug, but I just might have to get this for my wife: https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Figural-Tardis-Mug/dp/B00422MU6Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=theawedai-20&linkId=3cd808bbc636540fa3d4b69af6130b9e
  2. Niche
    I get it, especially at the price you guys pay for the Niche. Besides the PCB, there are wires and switches that could fail as well, unless Niche supplied all new wiring and new switches. If you have a multimeter or voltmeter you could verify that they are working properly before blaming the...

    Oh oh..... If you're like me, you'll be roasting your own coffee soon! Actually, the main reason I started roasting my own coffee was I needed darker roasts so I didn't get bad acid reflux (darker roasts are less acidic), and also wanted decaf coffee. It's not as easy to get dark roast decaf...
  4. Niche
    OK, I'm no expert on the Niche, and it actually sounds like a really nice grinder. I'd be really surprised if the brushes were worn out already with that kind of use. It's very possible that the contacts are dirty or corroded. I have restored many motors simply by taking them apart and...

    Hey, you're over the pond from me! Okay, have to call it a creek I guess. I'm on the mainland. A couple of years ago I tried a batch of freshly roasted JJBean and realized just how bad supermarket beans were. Then, given we suffer from acid reflux, and I had trouble tolerating lighter...
  6. Home Roasters
    I have a Behmor 2000+ and quite like it. You do have to get used to how it roasts coffee, but if you take some time and record all the temperatures/times etc you can begin to dial in a roast. (Record and learn how to interpret both A and B temperatures.) As far as I know, the only way to get...

    We love the Contigo Autoseal mugs. You squeeze a trigger while you sip your coffee. As soon as you let go it seals again. We've prevented so many accidents with these. https://mycontigo.com/en/travel-mugs/luxe-stainless-steel To clean coffee residue, place a small spoonful of machine...

    You are referring to the Sandbox roaster I think. It does look interesting, but I think I will stick with the Behmor. I started with a Nesco which got recalled, then moved to the Behmor. Buying roasters could get out of control! I don't need to concern myself with putting temperature probes...

    This is partly why I started looking at the "A" Temperature, but I forgot that the 1600 doesn't have an "A" temperature. I've seen some people insert a temperature probe into the oven closer to the beans. I might check to see if placing a cooking thermometer into the exhaust vent will mimic...
  10. Home Roasters
    Most people seem to just focus on the B temperature and time after first crack. Anyone else monitoring their roasts with both the A and B temperatures? While the A temperature is not a bean temperature, it does seem to give a consistent indication of what the bean is doing. For my Columbian...

    I'd been looking for a coffee forum that had decent threads on the Behmor as I've been learning how to use this thing. My first mistake on the Behmor was to start with a manual roast. I ended up with baked coffee and simply had to throw that roast out. Then I used the automatic method...
