How much of your coffee habit do you home roast?

[matts]

I used VERY little of the sunflower oil.
Any helpful suggestions for other means of quietening a Zass then?

I used the teeniest drop of 3 in 1 on mine and haven't reported to A&E with petroleum extract poisoning yet , despite the nylon washer it was awfully squeaky but is now cured. Seriously, if any did drip down the shaft to the burrs and thereby the coffee you've used *way* too much anyway. Dunno if vegetable based oils go rancid but I wouldn't lie awake about it.

Cheers

OK all you home roasters, I though it would be interesting to find outhow much of your coffe consumtion is home roasted, and how much you buy roasted.

Looks like I might be one of the heavier users. I don't buy any pre-roasted and do 4 x 125g roasts twice a week for a weekly total of 1kg.

Haven't bought a roasted bean in two years - popper, aided and abetted by a Hearthware, keeps me (and my office) going. If I needs more, I roasts more...

Ever since HughF and Phil got me hooked: bougt roasted coffee=zilch, zero, nada, rien.
I even rarely drink coffee outside my home and if its either out of desperation or because I am with friends whom I supply with coffee or got hooked with roasting.

If you have other home-roasting friends Alex, how come they haven't joined TMC yet?

Oh well.
One is the guest how asked about the Zassenhouse and is up to his ears in examina at the moment.
The other is the one I wrote "how not to roast" with.
And both are remarkably resistant to the wonders of the net!

I roast everything I need myself, using the Hottop. I've still got some roasted beans I ordered when I sent my old roaster (an Imex, but badged as an Aerolatte) back to the supplier on the grounds it was useless. Sometimes if I run out of my own roasted beans I use some of the pre-roasted ones while I roast/rest my own beans. Other times I use the pre-roasted ones if I fancy a change from what I've got roasted and want something right now, as opposed to the day after tomorrow.
