It’s just not the same…

Halo CE Hang ‘em High on the original Xbox with Rockets and Grenades (we didn’t specify… frags were game too) will always be one of my favorites.

That, and Sidewinder CTF. Those were some of the most intense hours of my young adulthood in college.

Good luck. Office life is usually bereft of good coffee.

I used to do pour overs, and got plenty of mileage out of that. Before then I’d used a French press but cleanup became a gigantic pain in the ass…

My recommendation would be a hand grinder, V60, and a gooseneck kettle. Clever drippers are the tits as well.

None of them strike me as parody…. Plenty of folks behave as though they believe this stuff heartily. Many of them are in Milwaukee right now.

Well, it’s a practicality thing. I’ve researched all the various roasters out there over the years, and always balked at the price tag. I’ve recently been gifted a nice grill though and had the thought of possibly of using that. After some looking online I found that while not the most common way of doing it, some folks do it frequently.

Your post and reply to my comment has sent me down a rabbit hole I’ve been down many times but with a new angle. I’ve wanted to try my hand at home roasting for a while, but now I think I want to try it on my grill outside.

So is your setup in your house? I understand there’s quite a bit of smoke and it can really smell your house out if you do it indoors.

Do you let the coffee degas a bit before you brew with it? What’s your preferred brew method?

You said you do 4x 250g batches per session. I assume that’s 250g of raw green beans going into the roaster… what’s the yield per batch coming out at the end?

How do you source your green beans?

Hey… D stands for Diploma.

B stands for “Better than I thought I’d do.”

I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…

Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…

F = C*(9/5)+32

If you don’t want the ratio, 9/5=1.8

To estimate the temperature conversion, multiply by 2 and add 32… then estimate a touch less… I eyeballed 10C to be 50ish before breaking out the calculator and finding it was 50 on the nose

I reflexively read that in Dwight’s voice.

I literally thought the T was going to be titties, and was prepared to laugh. Now I’m just sad.

So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?

Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.
