Mad Scientist
Here is a pick of my new set up in the corner of my kitchen. As you can see my lab comes fully equiped with all the necessary tools. The found the littlewatchumallkit that my Nesco is resting on in my buildings garage. People like to toss out the nicest things. The door on this little piece of furniture (I guess its a bureau or something) had fallen off and somebody decided that they did not want it anymore. All it needed was a little gorilla glue and now its a great place to store all my coffee related accessories along with a roasting pan and a wok I never happen to use.It is kind of nice having all my stuff in one tidy little corner instead of spread out all over the kitchen like they once were.
The little dustbuster that you see is a godsend when you happen to own a roasting machine like the Nesco . Chaff gets everywhere and its nice to have something to suck it all up. I have even gotten into the habit of dustbusting my roast before I pour it into the waiting cooling jar. This came in especially handy the other day when I roasted up some Burundi Kayanza Bwayi No:7. This batch of beans is really chaffelicious. This baby throws out so much chaff , that if it were president it would be called Chafferham Lincoln. If it were a Rapper it would go by MC chaffychaff (before it gets big and starts going by “Chaffy”). If it were a supermodel…
Ok I will stop . I think you get that it produces a whole buttload of chaff. It got all over the damn place the last time I roasted it, so this time I made sure to have my trusty little chaff sucker handy to clean up the mess and keep my new lab nice and tidy once again.
