I think this thread should be renamed "How does ram57 make his coffee" every time I look it's his coffee I find out about, so today I put 26.5 grams of Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Gadeb Asasa (dry process) that I roasted to about a Full City on 5/23/16 into my CONA siphon brewer (size C).

Nice Machine! If I were to get a drip machine that is the only I would consider! Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk
Not inexpensive, no frills, bells nor whistles- just consistently great hot(!) brewed coffee. Picked it up six years ago and it's used daily... and is still the best coffee-related purchase I've made.
The reason I would buy this is because it brings the water into the correct temperature range, and it is manufactured in the Netherlands instead of China. I use a CONA siphon brewer and have to tend it almost from start to finish but the coffee it makes is well worth it to me. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk
I drink, what we call in Serbia "Turkish coffee". In Greece, for example that way of making coffee called "Greek coffee". In boiled water I put half a coffee spoon of sugar, and then one and a half spoon of grind coffee.

Whirley-Pop on the grill side burner. I don't remember what the beans were, they were part of the 8 pound sampler from Sweet Maria's.
Hey, Rich!! @richgem Beat me by this much. (In my best Maxwell Smart voice) Is it the lighting, or do like a dark roast? The more I've roasted, the more I have found I prefer a lighter roast. But that's me.
It's a darker roast, not as dark as french. I vary it up depending on my mood, and it's easier to get a consistent dark roast throughout the beans with the Whirley-Pop. If I did half pound batches, it would probably work better for the lighter roasts.
You're right about half pound batches being easier for lighter roasts. I do half pound batches. Then again, I'm roasting only enough for me on the weekends.
I placed an order with https://www.freshroastedcoffee.com/ They claim they roast to order and prices seem pretty reasonable, with free shipping for orders over $35.
I'm glad to put another post in this thread. I was running way low on 4-cup filters, but happened to find some at a supermarket in town(not the one I usually go to). I bought two stacks. Now I can relax more with my Maxwell House House Blend regular, and Martinson's Decaf.

With my wife out of town this weekend I dug out our vintage Faberware Superfast 2-4 cup electric percolator, which is the perfect size for one person. Makes great coffee, and it lives up to its "Superfast" name.
My wife and I have been hooked on Starbuck's Italian roast for something like 25 years. We make it with a paper cone in our Cuisinart drip.
Pretty nice coffee. They claim to roast the beans on order, and shipments pretty quick. A little more expensive than the bulk coffee beans at the grocery store, but a lot fresher.
