I know I know, the absence has been shameful. Well, we’re back! Kind of…
We’re going to be trying a couple new things in the land of ManhattanRoasts over the next little while. The first is a new roaster! Now that we have moved and no longer have a balcony, stovetop roasting is a little more difficult as there is nowhere to cool the coffee and get rid of the chaff (a balcony on a high floor is AMAZING for both). So, we had to find an alternative method of roasting.
We’ve used the i-Roast before (the latest model, not the old one, which was apparently crap) and really liked it (even though it was little more than a glorified popcorn maker with heat profiles), but alas they are out of stock and have no plans to produce / release more in the near future. Bummer.
So that brings me here. Soon we will be welcoming into the ManhattanRoasts household a brand new Behmor 1600! Check it out here. Should arrive in the next couple days!
The second piece of excitement, well… I don’t want to spoil it yet, but suffice it to say… it’s aallliiiiiveeee!
