Amulet's Coffee

A Madras Filter (or...Vietnamese Filter) is also available in Ceramic.



When assembled up it looks like:

 

I see that amazon has a good coffee roaster on sale:

 

Lots of times, restaurants in forin can serve a posh coffee. Like the one in the picture here. But then, it will never be like a Kumbakonam coffee, or what I make at home in the mornings.



A stable foam in a black coffee (no milk/cream) is considered "a thing" in Turkish/Greek/Ethiopian coffee servings.

 

A popcorn maker (hot air circulating in the roasting well) does not last more than a couple of years if used for coffee roasting (several times a week). It is cheap enough to toss it, and get a new one. From a garage-sale, thrift store, or online-order.

One of the pesky issues with the popcorn maker is that it goes off when too hot, and comes back on when it cools down on its own. In electric hair dryers, we have switch settings for regular room air (fan only), low temperature air (fan + heater on low heating) and high temperature air. The hot air popcorn maker would be more useful if the fan continues to run (to cool the thing down) when the heater goes off due to high-temperature.

Someone had done that already on the internet:

........... What a masterful modification to simply solve the coffee roasting routine by changing one wire to another terminal.

By changing the fan wire to the hot terminal, so it would bypass the off-on switch and the fan would run all the time when the popper was plugged into the socket, is sheer genius. This means that the off-on switch, on the popper, can now be used to control the heat; thereby regulating the temperature and prolonging the roasting time of the beans.

Drink quality coffee​

Instant coffee can contain acrylamide, a chemical compound shown to be linked to cancer in animal studies. The chemical has also been found to cause nerve damage, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Research on the effects of acrylamide is still preliminary, but it has been confirmed that ground, filtered coffee contains smaller amounts of the chemical than instant coffee.​

In "10 things to cut your cancer risk" I found the above advisory. HOOORAY.... I have passed on my coffee roasting, and making to the kids, nephews, nieces and many many young friends over the years.

The 10 things to cut your cancer risk are:
1. Cut back on the BBQ.
2. Limit shift work.
3. Avoid colouring your hair.
4. Try not to use the contraceptive pill.
5. Get out into sunlight safely.
6. Drink good quality real coffee.
7. Don't eat too much fish (if you are a man).
8. Don't smoke.
9. Rinse your brown rice (any rice) thoroughly.
10. Do not drink beverages from styrene-containing cups.
