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?

[@LivingTheLifeRetired]

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 ?

[@freezingsunbreaka]

Very much love this video! Collaborations are so cool :)!

[@HoonsCoffee]

Glad you like them!

[@timothywargo3530]

How sturdy is the machine . Looks like in the early years it was not as dependable

[@terracafetal2227]

does it have a selection of light, medium or dark roast?

[@DeanNowling]

What number do you grind at for espresso?

[@MahmoudAlAttar-gj7mh]

What kind of coffee do you use? Is it 100% Arabica?

[@mobomobile]

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?

[@toddredlin5634]

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 ?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Degassing is the release of gases from roasted coffee. A lot of these gases are released in the first few days after roasting.

[@Saul-zp6hh]

Loved the video hoon. Would you happen to have the grind setting and dosage for good brothers espresso blend?.

[@HoonsCoffee]

I have been using grinder setting 8, top burr at 6, and 17g. I get pretty result out of it.

[@Saul-zp6hh]

@@HoonsCoffee your a life saver 😁🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@l.l.coolray]

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.

[@HoonsCoffee]

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.

[@LumiLunar]

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.

[@shahnd6341]

Coffee Bean Corral (online) sells great green beans along with the aforementioned Sweet Maria’s and Happy Mug

[@oracla]

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.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Great tips!

[@2jimmy283]

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

[@coffeeauthority]

Does that roaster produce no smoke? Looks great.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Not really. I love to get one but it is expensive for home. 2Kg is around $4500

[@florianbecker8312]

I love u Videos so much ... so authentic and nice Made 👍greets from Hamburg Germany

[@HoonsCoffee]

Glad you like them!

[@chavitavb]

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!

[@BrentGoodale]

Brent from Good brothers here. Our roaster doesn’t use propane and uses electricity but is the same “fluid bed “ way to roast.

[@chavitavb]

Brent Goodale ohhhh I see. Thanks for the correction. Cool to know :D

[@phoriaeu]

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]

Did you change your beans lately?

[@phoriaeu]

@@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.

[@GS17403]

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 ?

[@PatTuazon]

I also want to know mr Hoon :)

[@HoonsCoffee]

No particular reason why I didn't use the Niche. I should use more Niche in my videos

[@yousefr433]

How much is that roasting machine ?

[@HoonsCoffee]

You can get a 1lbs roaster for around $3300. Here is the website sonofresco.com/product/profile-coffee-roaster/

[@yousefr433]

Hoon's Coffee nope here is where you are wrong, i can not 😂

[@2jimmy283]

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.

[@HoonsCoffee]

I think best time is after 5 days. Check this out. clivecoffee.com/blogs/learn/is-your-coffee-too-fresh

[@2jimmy283]

Thank you, Hoon.

[@danielarthurdomingo8912]

Is there a roasting software that you can connect with that roaster?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Not sure. This was one for my friend of mine.

[@baristakev5709]

That’s a nice roaster he has

[@jjrodriguezg]

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.

[@HoonsCoffee]

What kind of grinder did you get?

[@jjrodriguezg]

@@HoonsCoffee , I have a mini hario manual grinder

[@janfranek2247]

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 :)

[@HoonsCoffee]

Thanks for the tip.

[@ironmantooltime]

What a beast!

[@MarcesAurelius]

when *too fresh* I find 1:1 to 1:1.5 makes it “drinkable”

[@HoonsCoffee]

I have to try that Mark.

[@MarcesAurelius]

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

[@kennethcoomans]

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 :)

[@HoonsCoffee]

Which popcorn machine did you get?

[@george8859]

Awesome video Hoon, very insightful indeed. Hope you're staying well in these strange times

[@HoonsCoffee]

Thanks, you too!
