Hey Hoon, how did your friend control the roast on the Sonofresco? It looks like he just turned it on and started roasting. Did he have a profile loaded up or is it just full power until you call it times up ?
Have you noticed any major differences in coffee depending on what machine or method is used to roast a coffee? For example coffee from an air roaster like this one or coffee from a drum roaster like a Behmor, or a professional coffee roaster?
The coffee does not look very evenly roasted. But your shots look good and nice explanation at the end. The way I do it I use 16,4 g in and aim for 38-42 g out. If I'm lucky, a get 36 out (tastes like a sweet ristreto but is very close to choking the machine). Like you said, time is crucial, but you don't need a timer. If the flow is too fast, just extract a few grams more, and if it's very slow, just extract a few grams less. This is a very simple and effective and doesn't require a stopwatch. However, this is just a small adjustment. You need to be close to perfection on your dialing-in to begin with.
Hi hoon great vid, what are the benefits of roasting your own beans when you can buy them already roasted in the shops. I have never seen green beans for sale, i would imagine this is done online. Thx.
If you want to taken on a new hobby coffee roasting is great and saves you some money on coffee. You can get green beans for around $5 or $6 per pound instead of roasted beans for $10-20 per pound in the store.
You can find raw beans a lot cheaper online compared to if you were to buy roasted beans in grocery stores or a coffee roaster. Happy Mug and Sweet Maria's are the more popular places to shop. There are a lot of places that sell green beans, you can find them online. I personally buy Brazil Cerrado for around $3.50 a pound. Very chocolatey.
I just took delivery of my Niche Zero, so I MUST ask you: Why the Breville grinder and not the Niche for this bean test ? Even with this Vid's focus being the ROASTER, I'd really like to hear why you didn't use the Niche ?
Hi Hoon, I've had my Breville Express for two months now. I was pulling great tasting shots the first month, but now all my shots taste watery. What do you recommend to fix this problem?
@@HoonsCoffee I did but it wasn't the first time I changed them. I switched my beans a few times during the first month and everything was fine. I also wanted to mention, I've been using the pressurized double wall basket the whole time.
Hi Hoon, i've started roasting with a popcorn machine (yeah...) it looks very similiar to the machine is this video, only a lot smaller and because of it beeing a popcorn machine, it heats pretty fast (first crack after 3min) and I can only roast 45grams at a time. Do you have any idea if a roast time this fast does good/bad things to the beans (probably bad) :D I've roasted the first batch on the 9th of June so i will be trying them any time soon :)
Hi Hoon, I've been enjoying your videos a lot since I landed on your channel. I justo bought the Breville Bambino Plus since my budget is very low. Can you do a taste test of Starbucks Sumatra blend? I am able yo get it veré un México city and would like yo know ir it is drinkable. Thanks un advance.
Hey Hoon, thanks for a video but please work on a focus settings... Especially when you go close to a cam, it's not sharp... For example when you showed us a beans... It was out of focus :/ anyway great video :)
DETAILS in general (after 6+ days), I find the >1:1.5 produces the very best *taste & texture* for just espresso, this is with Oracle’s standard 20-22g dose, 58 mm triple basket - 1:1 to 1:1.5 is about Oracle’s “single” 25 second shot

Hey Hoon, can you make 2 lattes. One with a single wall and one with a dual wall and tell us if you can spot the difference?
Very much love this video! Collaborations are so cool :)!
Glad you like them!
What number do you grind at for espresso?

does it have a selection of light, medium or dark roast?
How sturdy is the machine . Looks like in the early years it was not as dependable
Great video on bean roasting I gather still to much Co2 if you do not let the beans chill and that is why you get a lot of crema ?
Degassing is the release of gases from roasted coffee. A lot of these gases are released in the first few days after roasting.
What kind of coffee do you use? Is it 100% Arabica?
Loved the video hoon. Would you happen to have the grind setting and dosage for good brothers espresso blend?.
I have been using grinder setting 8, top burr at 6, and 17g. I get pretty result out of it.
@@HoonsCoffee your a life saver 😁🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great tips!
Well, does not have to be evenly roasted, I believe. uneven roasting can give you mixture of different tastes.

Coffee Bean Corral (online) sells great green beans along with the aforementioned Sweet Maria’s and Happy Mug
Does that roaster produce no smoke? Looks great.
Not really. I love to get one but it is expensive for home. 2Kg is around $4500

I also want to know mr Hoon :)
No particular reason why I didn't use the Niche. I should use more Niche in my videos

Did you change your beans lately?
@@HoonsCoffee I did but it wasn't the first time I changed them. I switched my beans a few times during the first month and everything was fine. I also wanted to mention, I've been using the pressurized double wall basket the whole time.
Is there a roasting software that you can connect with that roaster?
Not sure. This was one for my friend of mine.
Is that how Good Brothers does their coffee ? Pretty cool machine! I just got their coffee and it’s pretty good stuff. Thanks for sharing Hoon!
Brent from Good brothers here. Our roaster doesn’t use propane and uses electricity but is the same “fluid bed “ way to roast.
Brent Goodale ohhhh I see. Thanks for the correction. Cool to know :D
How much is that roasting machine ?
You can get a 1lbs roaster for around $3300. Here is the website sonofresco.com/product/profile-coffee-roaster/
Hoon's Coffee nope here is where you are wrong, i can not 😂
I love u Videos so much ... so authentic and nice Made 👍greets from Hamburg Germany
Glad you like them!
Hello Hoon. i just found your channel. i and my wife drink 1-5 days old beans only. Can you tell me what we miss? I use Breville.
I think best time is after 5 days. Check this out. clivecoffee.com/blogs/learn/is-your-coffee-too-fresh
Thank you, Hoon.

Thanks for the tip.
when *too fresh* I find 1:1 to 1:1.5 makes it “drinkable”
I have to try that Mark.

Awesome video Hoon, very insightful indeed. Hope you're staying well in these strange times
Thanks, you too!
What a beast!
That’s a nice roaster he has
