I'd like to thank Ron for producing his
roasting drum.
After quite some time of struggling with my
Alpenrost, or Alpenusuallyrost, or Alpensometimesrost and
sometimes not rost, I can tell you that Ron's RK DRUM drum
is a GODSEND. At our house, we go through so much coffee
that the Fussyrost usually sits on the counter in the
kitchen, taking up space for days, because we have to roast
so often. With the RK Drum, on the first try, I loaded it up
with a couple pounds of Malabar Gold, popped it in my Weber
Genisis Gold Grill after a preheat, sat in front of it
keeping an eye on the thermometer, and shortly, crack,smoke,
crack (I'm referring to the coffee roasting process here,
nothing illegal), and suddenly, I had a bunch of perfectly
roasted coffee. No muss, No fuss, No Alp. And this was just
my first attempt!
Thanks, Ron, you now join the ranks of my
other hero Les, maker of the THOR TAMPER. In this
increasingly mechanised and mass-produced world, I am
delighted to have your lovingly, hand-made products in my
home, improving my life.
As for the ALP, maybe target practise?
Best,
Adam
