So, what's everyone's take on optimum window of resting time after roasting? I find myself often roasting for the next day but thought if try to get ahead of the game a bit.

New coffee! Costa Rica Chirripo Los Crestones - Finca Alaska

Roasted 12 hours ago to city+, drip, Silk. Really nice, smooth, sweet, a little mild. Dried fruits and chocolate, who could ask for more.

Varies from coffee to coffee. Some are rocking good at 12 hours, others seem to peak from 36 to 48. Bottom line is, you don't want it to get too old, a week at tops for me. Usually no more than 4-5 days.

Broke my $20 Bodem Press this morning

. Second one in about a year. The glass is so dang thin. It just tipped over (empty) and completely smashed on the counter.
Sooooo, coffee this morning in the ol Dripper. Sumatra Toba Batak Peaberry at FC. Very tasty. Notes of Vanilla and baking spice.

My wife and I enjoy using our Bodem on the weekends (we use our Kuereg during the week). We generally fill a pot with water and heat it on the stove then pour the hot water into the press. What method do you use for heating your water? I'm wondering if there may be a more efficient way of doing it.

Monday thru Friday I use my press at work. We have a Heated and cooled Alhambra water jug here. The Hot water is the perfect temp.
On the weekends, I use my press at home and heat my water in the microwave.

Thank you.

I'm with Bob. I like to try them at all different stages of rest. They really change alot in the first 1-3 days. I like to roast enough that will last me about 5 days, 7 at the most. Also, some beans take a longer rest, better. Sumatra's do well with the 3 days of rest, where the Costa Ricans (to me) are better with 1-2 days of rest.
I usually roast (for myself) 4 different 1/4 lb batches and rotate through them each day during the week.

This is my press. I didn't shop this for lowest price, I won mine from Unclebeanz. And love it, very durable.

Very Nice. Does it hold the heat very well if you dont drink the whole pot right away?

I don't know. It makes about 2 big cups, I pour one in my cup and the other into my thermal carafe. I don't leave it in the press, I heard that will make over strong, bitter coffee. But it is a nice thick ceramic, I'm guessing it might hold the heat for a little while.

Chainsaw13 · 12-19-2012, 11:38 AM

I don't really try to think about resting times honestly. I roast about one 1/2lb batch a week and drink it every day until it's gone. So I get to see what it tastes like as it progresses over time. This Ethiopian just really blew me away with the flavor as i tend to gravitate towards the Colombian/Brazillian beans. And coming back from SA last week, I'm stuck on the liquid jet fuel they serve.

Mr B · 12-19-2012, 12:49 PM

Even though I said "if you dont drink the whole pot right away" the real reason I was asking if it held the heat is that during the winter, my warehouse gets real cold. My F.P. can loose alot of heat during the brew time. I am thinking about making some sort of insulated box out of styrofoam to put it in while it brews, LOL.

I've got a stainless steel press that holds the heat beautifully. I really like it. http://www.planetarydesign.us/catego...tion=tabletops
Frieling also makes one.

THAT does look good. Thanks for the link.

BSB · 12-19-2012, 01:21 PM

I see, makes sense. It should do pretty good for you. Better than that thin glass, one would think.

Chainsaw13 · 12-19-2012, 02:59 PM

I might have to pick up one if these. Been looking for one with a larger capacity. That 48oz looks about right.

forgop · 12-20-2012, 08:51 AM

Damn...received my order of 10 # of Negrita from Unclebeanz today. So much for roasting them on my own for fresh coffee as it was all roasted on 12/14.

Wow you got 10 pounds of roasted coffee? Sounds like you need to unload that quick as I doubt anybody could drink that much while it is still fresh.
