>B-but mu-muh po-popcorn roaster!!!!!11!!One! It's totally better than $3,000 drum roaster!!!
>Resting coffee after roasting is a Jewish hoax! Mu-muh freshness requires you to brew the beans 37 seconds after roasting for maximum CO2 extraction!!!!!!

I'm roasting at home with pic rel. Nostalgia Popper from Target for 15 bucks.

I get my sumatra green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's.

I like to let it go about 30 seconds past second crack around this time of year when it is cold outside, but in the summer I like a lighter roast generally.

I use a Mr. Coffee but I divert the water to the back of the machine so that it preheats and recycles the water and hits a better temperature. Once preheated I re-divert the water back to the filter basket but keep the carafe out intentionally letting the basket fill for the first 4 to 5 minutes... Once full I insert the carafe and allow the drip machine to work as usual.

I find that this hits a near perfect extraction every time.

If I want to go full metal autist I will just brew a smaller batch and not use the water warming and dripping feature... just preheat my own water and pour over the grounds in the filter basket with the carafe removed. if using a good filter there is no need to prewet. this produces good coffee.. but not much better than the aforementioned method.

A lot of mornings I actually just set it all up the night before and set the delay brew which is a god send on early mornings and a nice feature I have yet to see on even the most expensive chem-ex units...

This works VERY WELL and if you use your own fresh roasted and fresh ground (ground the night before anyway) it will make a much better cup of coffee than anyone using the worlds most expensive units will if they are using store bought roasts.

I always think its funny how many silly faggots on this board think they know about coffee but aren't roasting their own beans. Store bought roasts are shit - end of story - even if the date on them is good.

22 posts in and no one has posted their setup including a roaster. Fucking pleb tier shit up in this bitch.

nice chemex's yall, but you are using shit quality beans and are making shit quality coffee.

Countdown - less than an hour until someone makes a stupid joke about popcorn roasters making subquality roasts.

get sum.

The best way to have coffee is to by green coffee beans and roast them in a popcorn cooker till you hear the second crack and then let them got a little longer depending on how you like your roast.

Get a burr grinder and grind it how you like - start with medium if you are doing drip and go from there.

Use a nice drip or pour over system. French press is for faggots, and cappuccino/espresso is for rich faggots. K-Cups are for faggots that are going to literally burn in hell for being faggots.

You can do it right with 110 bucks worth of hardware.

$20 popcorn popper
$65 burr grinder
$25 dollar Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker

If you spend more, you aren't necessarily doing it wrong, but you are spending more than necessary.

If you do coffee any other way you are categorically doing it incorrectly.
