Hello all -
Despite keeping a relatively low profile on the forums, I've been a member of the site for many years, purchasing green beans from the kind folks who take the time to distribute them. I've gone through a few different roasters in that time and currently use an unmodified Behmor, though I haven't exactly been thrilled with the results.
I'm thinking of making the leap to either a Hottop or perhaps even a Huky, but before doing so I'd like to sample coffee that has been roasted on either of these two machines as a comparison to what I'm using now. Certainly I could just purchase one of these roasters and test it for myself, but why go through the hassle if I cannot detect much difference in the final outcome? With that, I have a request from the community...
I'm wondering if anyone out there is willing to roast up a small batch of beans on either a Hottop, Huky or both and send them to me. Of course, I'd pay for the beans, shipping and your time. If not, no problem, but figured I'd at least ask, as I'm not acquainted with any local home roasters. By the way, I'm in the SF Bay Area in case there is someone out there local.
Thanks for reading my post.
