Entering a nondescript old wooden factory at the end of a partially paved road just 10 minutes out of Klang town, Selangor, one would be hit almost immediately with the smell of smoke caused by wood burning and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans.

Start roasting man. The payback is incredible. You can get Chinese units for pretty cheap and if you have an electrician friend both legs can be hooked up so their stuff works on an outlet. Otherwise the place I DM’d you has options. I do not want to publicize them because prices may increase and they sell the best green coffee and small scale equipment.
I wonder if Klang ever had a clapper caper.
That was a great one.
PS. Artisan is the software you want roasting coffee.
IceCreamCalculator is the one when doing ice cream gelato or sorbets.
Both free. Welcome to new hobbies.
Yes!
I have had coffee hand-roasted by Ethiopian women. Best tasting coffee ever!
This guy isn’t roasting beans he’s making flavored coffee. Wood fire sugar butter…gotta wonder how much the beans matter after all that other stuff.
Whatever Gevilia does is how you do it. Peet’s comes in second with their dark roasts; a close second.
