Since so many of you have been kind enough to help me keep an eye out for a larger roaster, I just wanted to say "thanks" and let you know that I have found one. The deal is tentative right now and should be finalized by early to mid November when our schedules allow. I am trading a Florida roaster my YM2 for his YM10, along with a little boot of course! Sorry, that means my machine will not be for sale!
I really struggled with the decision, as things in my life are so uncertain. Moving is still not completely out of the question. Finally, I decided my life might never be certain, and I definitely can't have too many weeks like I did this week, roasting over 40 hours!
Just yesterday someone asked me how business was going. I chuckled and said, "Better than expected. In fact, I never actually expected it to work. I was just playing around! Now I'm going to have to take it serious!" I just finished stocking a new store and thought I'd share a few photos. My wife helped me deliver and fill 300 lbs worth of coffee yesterday. All the red tags you see in the photos are my bins, 15 so far.
