So why are multilayer, high barrier plastic bags best for storing green coffee? We have found that a bean's potential cup quality can be degraded by environmental changes, particularly in moisture levels. Green coffee is really a dried seed with an ideal internal moisture level of 10-11%. Without proper storage, green coffee will absorb moisture in a humid environment and lose moisture in an arid environment. A barrier package helps to lock in the bonded humidity and prevent it from equalizing with the ambient climate, preserving cup quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: regardless of packaing, it's important to store green coffee in a temperature stable environment away from direct sunlight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBag Dimensions: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500g: 20cm W x18cm L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1KG: 18 cm W x 26.7 cm L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2KG: 22 cm W x 40 cm L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5KG: 30.5 cm W x 36 cm L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sweet Maria's","offers":[{"title":"0.5 KG","offer_id":46204804464790,"sku":"BAGS-ECOT-0375","price":1.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG","offer_id":46204804497558,"sku":"BAGS-ECOT-0376","price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2KG","offer_id":46204804530326,"sku":"BAGS-ECOT-0377","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5KG","offer_id":46204804563094,"sku":"BAGS-ECOT-0378","price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1518\/0182\/files\/ecotact-1_1.jpg?v=1769161929"},{"product_id":"paper-coffee-bag","title":"Tin-tie Paper Coffee Bags","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e#html-body [data-pb-style=TLUJ69J]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"row\" data-appearance=\"contained\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-enable-parallax=\"0\" data-parallax-speed=\"0.5\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-background-type=\"image\" data-video-loop=\"true\" data-video-play-only-visible=\"true\" data-video-lazy-load=\"true\" data-video-fallback-src=\"\" data-element=\"inner\" data-pb-style=\"TLUJ69J\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"H814A5O\"\u003eNothing quite says \"coffee bag\" like our classic brown paper tin-tie bags.

Well, we are a business focused on home coffee roasting (and with Coffee Shrub, supplying micro-roasters). Selling $8000 machines isn't really in our wheelhouse. At the same time, we have constant demand in our own coffee labs to evaluate samples. It would be great to use home roasting machines to do that, but it's just not feasible. For the volume of samples we evaluate (sometimes its 60+ per week) and with our need for very high consistency and repeatability, a coffee lab needs something more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor years that has been a vintage three barrel Probat sample roaster. Roasting three coffee batches at a time certainly meets our needs, and with skill and focus (a lot of focus) the results are uniform and consistent. But increasingly the real life struggles with old style sample roasting started to rear their ugly little heads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you can turn out a lot of sample batches per hour, it takes 100% of your attention. You really can't do anything else but roast. While it's not that difficult in theory, it takes quite a long time to really master a particular sample roaster. (Just think of how long it takes to teach someone else ... not just to do one batch, but to turn out 30 uniformly roasted samples. It takes time...). And increasingly we found that with various distractions, conversations, calls, little business issues, we were blowing more roasts and needing to do them over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first the ROEST became our go-to option when just a few samples came in, or for a late arrival when we didn't want to take 30 minutes to heat up the Probat (or 1 hour to cool it down). The ROEST is ready to in under 5 minutes, and cools in less than 15 to shut off. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut over time we found the reasons to go to the ROEST over the Probat, even when we had 15-20 samples, more compelling. First of all, the old drum roaster has no profile we can realistically apply during the process, especially when running all 3 barrels. Even if we could, that would be rudimentary changes to air flow and small heat changes. With the ROEST we were designing specific curves using the 5 sensors, and in particular using the automated First Crack Detection to automatically determine development time and end the roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce we had the curve we wanted for a particular coffee (we primarily are using and Inlet Air Temperature-based curve we created for 100 grams of washed coffee), all we needed to do was put the green coffee in the roaster, and remove the roasted coffee from the tray. We set it for 1 minute 40 seconds development time starting after 2 audible cracks (the machine almost never misses the sound too!) and the ROEST does the rest. It automatically ends the roast, releases the batch into the cooling tray, and is ready for us to put in the next batch immediately. Cooling while roasting means a lot of throughput, and makes up somewhat for only roasting 1 sample at a time versus the Probat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the ROEST is using a temperature based profile, not time-based, if we had similar sets of samples, say 30 washed Guatemala coffees, the roasts are finishing in an incredibly tight range. If we get 7:38 on an initial batch, we would see times within 10 seconds of that, batch after batch after batch. That meant that the sensors and OS processing the data were dead on accurate, with no discernible time or temperature creep occurring no matter how long we ran the machine, or other variables like ambient temperature etc. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis has also made a huge difference in the quality of my work day. If I get distracted by something or someone, not a batch is lost. If I get pulled away for 10 minutes, the machine is there waiting and ready for the next batch. If I need to send an urgent email or take calls, I can see the batch automatically end, and the ROEST is ready when I can get back to it. I mean, I like all the focus the Probat roaster takes, but it's taxing, and on some days I find a whole bunch of roast errors on the cupping table I have to re-roast. That doesn't happen with the ROEST. It's really the ultimate user-friendly machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe started out simply using the basic program for 100 grams that ROEST has loaded on the machine. There's no need to get into it more than that initially. That is a Bean Sensor based curve. I liked it, but some coffee with different physical characteristics, say a Sumatra vs a Colombia, would roast differently. So I simply duplicated that curve and changed it to an Inlet Air Sensor curve. I just clicked a couple buttons, and loaded that new curve to the machine. Later I made a few changes to some of the set points in the temperature profile. It took a couple minutes ... I never had to come up with anything from scratch, I simply took the curve from a roast I liked, cloned it and Voila! Later I made one for decaf with some lower temperature targets and extended finish, just by dragging some of the set points around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"L9OTLT3\"\u003eAnd I took the original curve and made one with milder heat ramp for doing 50 gram and 80 gram batches. All of this was intuitive and send to the machine via the the online interface. Plus I could share them with Dan in Seattle, who by this point received our second ROEST L100 Plus in black\/aluminum material. So now we had calibration in our roasting between Oakland and Seattle, could develop roast profiles easily for different coffees and know we were tasting the same roasted material. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLately I have been trying to \"model\" the roasts from other machines on the ROEST, which is the only sample roaster I know of where it is actually realistic to think you can take 100 grams of coffee and reasonably create a Loring or a Probat profile. With 5 sensors and 3 fans to control, it seems you can go pretty deep into playing with variables like drum air pressure in a way that wouldn't be possible in other roasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a lot more I could say but I think that sums up the basic ways the ROEST has made my life easier, saved me from a lot of \"DOH\" moments and small frustrations, and allowed me to get other things done while still roasting samples! I'm usually on the opposite side when it comes to technology, automation, and machines taking on more stuff that used to take trained and skilled workers. (Think super-auto espresso machines that never go on strike). But I just can't deny that ROEST has really improved my work and our operation, and that we're excited to offer them here to anyone else who thinks they might benefit from adding this machine to their coffee operation. -THOMPSON\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sweet Maria's","offers":[{"title":"Wood","offer_id":46299037139094,"sku":"RSTR-ROST-0541-W","price":9900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black","offer_id":46299064369302,"sku":"RSTR-ROST-0541-B","price":9900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1518\/0182\/files\/sweet-marias-roest-sample-roaster-wood-1.jpg?v=1769162239"},{"product_id":"coffee-roasting-accessories-pocket-type-thermometer","title":"Pocket-type Thermometer 50-550","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e#html-body [data-pb-style=ECS7P3A]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll;border-style:none;border-width:1px;border-radius:0;margin:0 0 10px;padding:10px}#html-body [data-pb-style=J2SP7L7]{border-style:none;border-width:1px;border-radius:0;margin:0;padding:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"row\" data-appearance=\"contained\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-enable-parallax=\"0\" data-parallax-speed=\"0.5\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-video-fallback-src=\"\" data-element=\"inner\" data-pb-style=\"ECS7P3A\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"J2SP7L7\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a pocket-type instant read thermometer that has a 0-550 degree range.

It is hand-built, one at a time, in a small workshop factory in Taiwan. It has no advanced electronics, no motherboard or chipset, no heat profiling or automated cooling cycle. This is basically a miniature shop roaster scaled down to sample roaster size. It is a very manual machine and therefore most suitable for an experienced professional coffee roaster. It's not a Probat sample roaster (nor is it priced like one!) Yet it has some similar features: a sample trier so you can view coffee from the drum while roasting, a sight glass to see roast progress, manual temperature control (a dial adjusted gauge shows you the amperage sent to the heat elements), airspeed control (fan speed controls volume of air pulled through the drum. A timer essentially functions as an on\/off switch and allows you to cool the roaster down when you are finished with your batches, as well as acting as a safety shut off if the roaster is left unattended. It has an ingeniously simple way to cool the coffee; you dump the batch into the tray like a little shop roaster, open the rear door to the chaff collection chamber, and set the tray there so cool air can be pulled through it. Outside-the-drum cooling in 3 minutes or so ... another great advantage over most home roasters. Important! Turn the amperage all the way down when cooling your coffee. The drum will retain heat with the amperage down, but if left on it can overheat the roaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Quest is designed for continuous roasting, once it is properly warmed up you can roast for hours. In fact, this is the way to use the machine, as heating it up to do one batch and cooling it back down right away could cause wear and tear on the drum. So, in this sense, it is much more like professional sample roaster. The Quest M3s has lots of power and, as a miniature shop roaster, it requires a knowledgeable operator too. You can have a chaff fire in a hurry without cleaning it, and it's not so consumer-oriented in safety design either; like a Probat, there are lots of hot surfaces to remind you where your fingers should and should not be during roasting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an Allen wrench and a screwdriver, the Quest M3s can be stripped of its bodywork, the drum pulled out of the motor drive, and any part accessed in minutes. It is incredibly straightforward in terms of wiring and parts. For example, it uses a commonly available computer fan for air intake. Heating elements can be changed out quickly if need be. It is ready for any type of modification you might desire, such as PID control of the burners. (Not that I would want to automate anything here - the idea is a manual roaster with a trier to pull samples. Yes, it's a tiny, tiny trier but it works!) We did have trouble with the initial heating elements sent with the machines, but we worked with the manufacturer so now the heating elements have a higher electrical rating (up to 130v). The Quest M3s is very quiet and runs on standard US voltage (120v, 60 hertz). You'll be impressed with the ease, convenience, and consistency that you can achieve roasting coffee with this electric roaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ideal batch size is 120 grams which are a rather standard load for a modern electric Probat roaster. The absolute maximum batch size is 200 grams.

Outside-the-drum cooling takes 3-5 minutes depending on your batch size - a great advantage over most home roasters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M6 is designed for continuous roasting - you can roast for hours once the machine is properly warmed up. In fact, this is the way to use the machine, as heating it up to do one batch and cooling it back down right away could cause wear and tear on the drum. In this sense, the M6 is much more like professional sample roaster than your typical home roaster. There is a slight temperature dip when you drop a batch, so you may need to allow 1-3 minutes for the drum to reheat before starting a new roast. The Quest M6 has lots of power and, as a miniature shop roaster, it requires a knowledgeable operator too. You can have a chaff fire in a hurry without cleaning it, and it's not so consumer-oriented in safety design either; like a Probat, there are lots of hot surfaces to remind you where your fingers should and should not be during roasting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an Allen wrench and a screwdriver, the Quest M6 can be stripped of its bodywork, the drum pulled out of the motor drive, and any part accessed in minutes. It is incredibly straightforward in terms of wiring and parts. Heating elements can be changed out quickly if need be. It is ready for any type of modification you might desire, such as PID control of the burners. (Not that I would want to automate anything here - the idea is a manual roaster with a trier to pull samples. Yes, it's a tiny, tiny trier but it works!) The Quest M6 is very quiet and runs on standard US voltage (120v, 60 hertz). You'll be impressed with the ease, convenience, and consistency that you can achieve roasting coffee with this electric roaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ideal batch size is 400-450 grams and the absolute maximum batch size is 550 grams. You may notice a rocking movement when roasting larger batches; this didn't cause issues in any of our tests, but be sure to keep a close eye on your roaster with batches of 400 grams or more.  Dimensions: 20\" x 11.5\" x 17\" \u003cstrong\u003eThe Quest has a 30-day warranty.

This book is also filled with charts, diagrams and more of Aloe's personal photos. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e163 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublished 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sweet Maria's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46205088792726,"sku":"BOOK-DATA-0001","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1518\/0182\/files\/engineering-better-espresso-book-robert-aloe-1.jpg?v=1769170363"},{"product_id":"quest-compatible-thermal-probe","title":"Quest-Compatible Thermocouple Probe 38mm","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e#html-body [data-pb-style=RGLADB9]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"row\" data-appearance=\"contained\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-enable-parallax=\"0\" data-parallax-speed=\"0.5\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-background-type=\"image\" data-video-loop=\"true\" data-video-play-only-visible=\"true\" data-video-lazy-load=\"true\" data-video-fallback-src=\"\" data-element=\"inner\" data-pb-style=\"RGLADB9\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe had a new thermometer probe made that is compatible with the \u003ca tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeeshrub.com\/the-quest-m3s-coffee-roaster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eQuest M3s\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeeshrub.com\/quest-m6-coffee-roaster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eM6\u003c\/a\u003e coffee roasters (as well as other roast applications too). It features a 38 mm long probe with threaded M8 metric which will work with the Quest models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe opted for a slender probe tip here, only 2 mm, which makes it very sensitive to temperature change. It’s a bit delicate, but will respond quickly to changes … and that’s what we wanted! The cable connects to a standard mini plug that will work with your standard thermometers, including the types we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is a rather short 3 feet, but we keep finding ourselves coiling up longer cables so wanted to opt for a short one here. This isn’t a high-end Fluke quality probe, but it’s also not $50 ! For that kind of money,  you can buy 6 of these to last a long, long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll also note that in some positions the nut on this probe can prevent the bean door from opening fully. Rotating the nut slightly works for us, so it's not been an issue (but it's worth mentioning).

In the tradition of the Magic 8 Ball, it will actually indicate to ambidextrous coffee tasters if a coffee is good or not. (It can also make suggestions about whether you will have a good day, or if you look good). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis highly reflective, deeply intentional and 100% water-resistant spoon is truly multi-purpose, useful for other products like avocados or occasional “cereal tasting”. It has limited bluetooth connectivity though; the app is in early development. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spoon is made of 100% non-irradiated Stainless Steel, weighs a  meaty 52.5 grams, measures 16cm long (6.3 inches), has a 45mm bowl that will hold 5.5 ml of liquid, or 145 grams of metal shavings. If you use bowls for coffee tasting, this can also be called a “bowling spoon”. The designs are etched using lasers from the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSadly, monodextrous people will find the predictive ability of the spoon to be limited, and lefties in particular might never like another coffee ever again. That was unintentional, as we designed the spoon to bum out only right-handed people. But something got switched in production. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Secret reveal: you don’t actually need a cupping spoon to taste coffee).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e#html-body [data-pb-style=\"60C978E9A653E\"]{justify-content: flex-start; display: flex; flex-direction: column; background-position: left top; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: scroll; border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px;}#html-body [data-pb-style=\"60C978E9A6551\"]{border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Sweet Maria's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46418267144342,"sku":"MISC-SPOO-0387","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1518\/0182\/files\/sm_thumbs_up_down_cupping_spoon-mainimage.jpg?v=1780993210"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.sweetmarias.mom\/collections\/products-coffee-shrub.oembed","provider":"Sweet Maria's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
