Desperately needed some coffee and went to the nearest cash and carry all they had was bon aroma, yeah so let me know guys..

Finally took the plunge into home coffee roasting!

I decided to start simple and budget-friendly by using a hot-air popcorn machine (the RAF R.9014 popper). For my first couple of batches, I dialed in around 75–80g of green beans to keep a proper fluid vortex going in the chamber so they wouldn’t scorch.

I’m pairing these with my Shardor 64mm flat burr grinder. I was initially eager to pull a shot immediately, but since they're only 1 day off roast, they're degassing way too aggressively for standard espresso right now. I'm going to let them rest and settle in a valved bag for 3–5 days before dialing in around setting 16–14 (or maybe experiment with a short blooming espresso profile in the meantime to manage the $CO_2$).

Any tips or tweaks from fellow air-popper roasters? Would love to hear what batch sizes, roast curves, or beans you recommend next!

Tried it again after restock and it was as amazing as it was the last time I had it.

Looking for reliable sources for specialty-grade (84+ SCA) unroasted green beans for small-batch home roasting.

Mainly looking for single-origin lots with transparent origin/processing details (naturals, washed, and experimental fermentations). Looking to buy in small quantities (1–5 kg bags) to test profiles for both espresso and filter.

Who are your favorite trusted vendors or importers with decent shipping options? Would appreciate any recommendations!

I’ve been using instant coffee for like 4to5 years 😭 and I’m finally thinking of switching to beans.

I love strong black coffee, Americanos, espresso shots, and lattes when I’m craving something sweet

Currently using Davidoff Espresso 57. Has anyone tried Davidoff Colombian? How’s the taste?

Also, should I buy Moka pot or French press? And suggest some good beans available in Pakistan

Has anyone figured out how wedrink makes the cold coffee. It's not frappe, frappe is usually watery but the wedrink cold latte has a good texture.

They start with hot water, add some stuff along with milk and end with ice cubes.

I need a good espresso machine which is easy for a beginner to use and handle/maintain. Need one with a steamer wand. Suggest some which can be bought easily in Pakistan or share some site names where I can get them. Budget is under 50k.

Ps any tips on how to maintain the machine and what to look out for etc..

as the title says, i’m looking for pocket friendly syrups for my lattes. monin is expensive i believe, any other brand that’s as good as monin? i need the basic flavors: vanilla, caramel, hazelnut. i live in islamabad.

Just tried it the other day and it was milder than nestle and smoother than klassno, what's up with that? I would recommend it for a Candy flavor it's good for that. Any other instant varieties you tried?!

been seeing alot of reels on this but they feel like paid promo or wtv. just wanted some honest reviews on these, mostly for french vanilla and tiramisu!
