V12man Posted August 12, 2019 Share Soaked it in some vinegar and then used the pointy mcthingy to clean the 1000 holes. Works perfectly now.Try blowing compressed air through it - 8 bar blows most stuff out the holes - you can use a specific coffee detergent for cleaning it first - or just toss it in the dishwasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdwet1980 Posted August 17, 2019 Share In Hong Kong they have street roasters that uses a type of wok and they roast the beans with macadamia nuts with the beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 17, 2019 Share I believe the hot item in Hong Kong, at the moment, is a gas mask. One shop sold out in minutes of opening. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdwet1980 Posted August 17, 2019 Share I believe the hot item in Hong Kong, at the moment, is a gas mask. One shop sold out in minutes of opening.In 2009 I was in Ürümqi during the Uyghur demonstrations, the Chinese closed all communication with the outside world, we couldnt phone, sms or email. No media was allowed. Alot of people lost their lives. Luckily the world is watching Hong Kong. Skylark and Frosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadenceblur Posted August 18, 2019 Share I've seen them selling for the same price as roasted beans which is just crazy.After yield loss you end up paying much more.Not quite sure what the loss is though. Skylark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do green beans stay fresh? And how much electricity would be needed per kg to roast them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudsimus Posted August 19, 2019 Share I have heard that you get good results with one of those pop corn makers that blows hot air.Will definitely try this. I know a guy that roasts his own beans, will get some green beans from him to test. Grebel and Skylark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
