☕❤

Thank you so much for this video. I just recently got my Hottop 2k+, after upgrading from a Freshroast SR800, and honestly roasting my first three batches alongside this video running in the background has really helped me feel out the machine without wasting any coffee :) I look forward to eventually shooting a series of videos of my own using this (and maybe other) machine(s) and I look forward to seeing where my coffee journey leads.

Hey! are you still using this chair or is there something else you are currently using? just want to know if this is a long-term solution. Thank youuu :)

Hey are you following Mill City's recommendation and using full batch size with each roast or do you follow other roaster recommendations of 50-60% batch size? Cheers I've been making my way through a lot of your content. Great for those of us who roast on 2kg and smaller machines

Was your power on full from Charge or just from TP?

Also, 100% agree on the tipping.. ive done it and not wanted to sell it and then tried it and I'm like damn this is good... just wished it looked better lol

I've always been curious about altitude when it comes to coffees from regions like Kona and Jamaica given their location from the equator and coffees grown between 1000-1500mabsl vs. much higher altitudes that are closer to the equator. JBM and Kona are pretty dense (much of their coffee is washed but still).. so altitude isn't always a factor right?

thanks chief

Great vid Meg! 🙂

Wow, thanks for this resource.

Damn I was about to ask about permits for selling cold brew locally. I'll call tomorrow. Lmao

The links are no longer working. I wanted the little black coffee bags.

*PromoSM*

It’s pronounced we-we-tenango not hu-hu. And ah-cat-enango 😊

How much do you guys offer to print a coffee bag desighn of 14 colors

❤❤❤

Thank you so much, it's so inspiring to listen to you. Love the way you talk about Coffee❤😊 thank you

Hi maan i want to knoe something

Asían women are hot

Thank you

Cost doesnt make your roaster better, I think technologically Aillio roaster is superior in the way it heats the drum. plus, it is very efficient and no crap gas to deal with.

I've tasted over 700 different coffees, I've logged 692 of them. From Dragonfly Elida 98, JBC Pink Bourbon 98, and countless 95pt coffees from other notable roasters (Goodboy Bob, Mostra, Rabbit hole, BirdRock,...), I really have to tell you, Berried Treasure is one of the top 10 coffees I've tasted. You're doing a great job roasting. You just need a break getting out there. Wishing you the best!

Are you interested in compostable coffee bags?

Love this video! Thank you so much for all you do for the coffee community especially for up and coming roasters.

Appreciate the honesty & transparency.

You are the Bob Ross of cupping videos ♡

Is that dog a chiweenie?

You should get a Roest. The IKAWA machines are toys. If it doesn’t auto-detect First Crack or let you select it manually, it’s not a serious roaster.

$2.00 in cost for labels alone? Ooooooooffffffff

Even the Pro is a toy. How do you customize roasting profiles based on 1st crack? I don’t think you can do that with IKAWA.

I just checked their website the price is down to $20k for the shop roaster not sure if there's another bigger model for the 50-80k range people have been mentioning

#3 has forge scale in it lol.

I know Duane. He's got a big head 😂

Don’t stay away too long.

So we're get some water in these guys.. i am impressed Your relation with the Coffee was awesome

are u moving out of state?

Thank you for teaching everyone about coffee. I have received non-stop compliments from my coffee roast. I have it as a hobby. I don't have the confidence of doing your job. Keep up your excellent job. Thanks for all of your advice on coffee.

This was a lot of fun! Meg, your knowledge and willingness to help others is definitely something that's needed in the coffee community. Lots of great info here for us, and for Cross and Anvil. We all look forward to the next BLK City Coffee Vlog where and when ever that'll be.. )

Where are you? I am imagine that little beans was a live and said you can't see me😂

What kind of roasting machine is this?

Great video. I am so inline with your experiences to date. Coffee is awesome and super frustrating. I went from just wanting better coffee first myself and my dad. We were in the final years of his life and i am full time caregiver for both my elderly parents. My dad and i became super close in those last years. I would roast just to see the look when you take that first sip of phenomenal coffee, (you know the look). That’s why I roasted. 100% for him. He passed in 2021 and i almost stopped. But then people started to ask for coffee. And it’s grown from there.

Thank you for sharing your journey and evolution as a (roaster) person. I can't wait to see what's next. The best is yet to come.

Great vid

You're very beautiful. I enjoy watching you as much as learning about your roast.

Not sure how popular it is in your area, but I live down the road from a guy who builds his own sheds. Very basic all the way to complex. Maybe see if there is a person near you? Best of luck on the move!
