CoffeeKid - The Current Setup (#)
„Using a hot air popcorn popper, a couple of metal colanders and a cheap scale and needle thermometer are all you really need, and you have a lot of fun doing it. The bonus is that they help you learn about the process that these more expensive, purpose built roasters can offer a newbie coffee roaster person type.“

„Also see if you can test the machine's heat ability in store (or if the store has a good return policy, take it home to try out). You can do this by sticking a needle therm in the brew basket as it fills with hot water (grounds will slow down the flow), but that isn't a very accurate way of telling. Take a calibrated digital thermal reader measuring device (or find some engineering geek who will lend you one) and do proper temperature tests.“

„I can leave the phone in my pocket or backpack, and surf the net or answer email, or write something like this rant, er blog. Which is in fact what I'm doing: I'm typing this into CoffeeKid straight from a rather crappy cafe called Bread Garden (good interior, nice people zone, not so good espresso and coffee). The P800 is in my jacket pocket, and I'm online.“

„I got a tour of Espresso Coffee Machines Co., which is affiliated with Nuova Distribution (the US company), but ECM is based in Burnaby, BC. Let me tell you, that place is an Espresso lover's dream shop, especially if you can get into the back storeroom. They have what looks like a quarter million dollars worth of antique machines, including a first gen Victoria Arduino, many of the original Nuova Simonelli machines, and many other major makers, all just sitting way up on this semi-display shelf that only the staff can see as they go about their business. I was in awe.“

„Raising money for CoffeeKids I really liked doing this, and made it my personal mission to try and raise awareness of the organization. I feel we haven't done enough (we meaning the CoffeeGeek community) but that's only because I wanted to raise a million dollars if I could.“

„For this particular Coffee Talk, I'll make it a long one, and I'll follow the "Mark's adventures in CoffeeLand" format. If people like it, I'll come back in a few days and continue (with albeit shorter, hopefully daily versions).“
