So I gave it a crack after some very basic reading. Might have gone too hot, got to about 200°C inside the breadmaker.

Cheers @Hos which blends do you recommend from Airjo?
I took the glass out, the new artistic design is all me.Is the new ventilation hole a result of your coffee roasting?
The beans definitely look a dark roast
I imagine an air fryer would also work
Does the coffee beans smells like smoky gun powerI took the glass out, the new artistic design is all me.
Roast was beyond dark, charcoal. Tried again, turned down heat gun, manual stirring and stopped at medium roast. I'll try it in a few days.
My shed smells funny now.
A little, more like dark toast. Second batch might be drinkable. First batch went to the compost bin.Does the coffee beans smells like smoky gun power
Oops. 200º isn't necessarily too hot, but the beans need to be moving around a lot if you don't want to burn them, and you need to be able to see them.So I gave it a crack after some very basic reading. Might have gone too hot, got to about 200°C inside the breadmaker.
So the air fryer is out then, perhaps dry frying in the wok is not such a bad idea, especially if you have a wok burnerKeeping the beans moving around is critical,
It's been done, but there is a tendency for the beans to end up pretty mottled, as they scorch on the surface of the wok without getting cooked all the way through. A marginally better (peasant-style) approach is to roast them on a shallow metal tray in the oven. You still have to keep a beady eye on the beans, but you get a bit more time to rescue them if things go wrong.So the air fryer is out then, perhaps dry frying in the wok is not such a bad idea, especially if you have a wok burner
Didn't know chaff was an issue. I roast sunflower and pumpkin seeds in there for salads. The little bit of chaff from these seeds blows around. A thin single bean layer would roast quick and not require stirring. I might buy some green and experimentbut I don't know how you'd get rid of the chaff.
Hmm Pilgrim Coffee it is then.So I gave it a crack after some very basic reading. Might have gone too hot, got to about 200°C inside the breadmaker.
That might work, I'll be interested to hear how you go. But keep any eye on the chaff, coffee beans aren't like sunflower seeds. They give off a LOT (some people call it silverskin) as it unwinds from inside the bean, depending on where the coffee is from, the variety and how it's been processed.

I've only had Campos in a Cafe and it was a dark roast. I notice Woolworths stock Campos Premium blend so probably Sirius Mix'n'Match Coffee Option 2: Sirius Classic Medium Roast & Sirius Estrela Brazilian
I cannot speak for Campos but most of the ColesWorth coffee beans are stale in comparison because they have sat in warehouses and stood on shelves for many months, if not years. Which is really noticeable by the lack of oil when ground, and they are not cheap unless you get 1/2 price.
If you want quality blends and single origin try some of Coffee Snobs offerings or Coffee for Connoisseurs
Living in the big city you would get enough turnover to keep stock fresh. Maybe they send up North after a few monthsThey have a roast date on the pack though? I always hunt down a pack with a roast date within the last fortnight.

I've had some good coffee from one of those. I also have a friend who makes disgusting coffee with hers, but I think that might be malice aforethought. I think she likes her coffee to taste foul. So maybe there's a learning curve even with those machines...... Sidenote, what machine are you guys using? I've recently indulged in a Delonghi Automatic gizmo, it is bang on for what I'm after.. it's the Dinamica Cappuccino (got it on massive discount otherwise I wouldn't have bought it)
