JonWoo187 MWJB Does that ridiculous cost come with a side order of Rao arrogance? What good can 100 grams be? All the better reason to home roast and easily be on par and usually better than most any commercial roaster worldwide.
The price I quoted was as per 100grams (this is just how I quantify bean cost), not an order of 100grams. Yet, it is not the most expensive coffee I have bought, it was acceptable once rested (the other 3 bags, not so much).
100g is 7 pour over brews, plenty enough to get a god grasp of a coffee. Many of my orders are 150g, Sweven, for instance, do smaller bags at114g.
I have roasted at home too, I’m obviously not as good at it as you are, any tips greatly received.
I was (and still am) a big fan of Rao’s first 2 books, as an intro to understanding coffee. His latest social media content seems to be less rigorously researched & referenced. However, Scott was actually the most happy & kowledgeable to engage with on suggestions on how to troubleshoot Prodigal coffee, compared to other roasters I have communicated with. As I said in response to David, I am not keen on stockpiling coffee, waiting for it to rest just because the roaster is in a rush to get it out the door, so ordering a month ahead of time is not for me.
