Folks, I was wrong, Zara I am sorry. It is a wonderful gift and Tradition. ginny |
Chris Coffee is selling a steam tip with two small holes. It apparently makes microfoam easy when steaming small amounts of milk. At the offering price I thought I'd try it to see if it fit my Techno, whose stock tip is fine if you're trying to steam commercial quantities of milk but overwhelms small home quantities. The tip doesn't fit: the thread appears to be 10 x 1.25 mm (guessing here, as I don't have an inside thread gauge), and the Techno's is 10 x 1.0. Send me an email if you'd like it. Best, David -- "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." Antoine de Saint-Exupery |
I got the tip from Chris' and it didn't screw onto my Isomac Millenium. I did some measurements and determined that the Isomac wasn't metric, but used a straight 1/8"x27 pipe thread. The new tip was 1/8"x27 tapered pipe thread. I chased the tip with a 1/8" plug tap and it screwed right on. <Snip>http://www.sweetmarias.com/maillistinfo.html<Snip> |
I received the extra tradition offered by Zara yesterday so I'm
offering up the extra float valve like the one I used to "plumb" Miss
Silvia. The valve connects to 1/4" plastic tubing like that used to
run water to an ice maker. This one has the adjustable float and can
be mounted through a hole in a horizontal piece, like the lid to the
Miss Silvia water tank, or through the vertical side of a tank. It
requires an operating surface area of at least 1.25" by 5.5" when
installed through a tank top and 1.25 wide by 6.5" long, away from the
hole in the wall, when installed through the side of a tank. I will
randomly select a name next Sunday night before going to bed. To
enter, email OFF list to:

Jim: When you pipe this unit in this manner, I would suggest you use braided stainless tubing. I started out with the 1/4" plastic but almost had an accident. Apparently the plastic gets warm and soft from the cover over the machine after a period of time. Suddenly while watching TV, the water began to shoot out from the compression fitting on the cover of the tank. Thank goodness I was home at the time. |
Greetings,
I come offering up a very late Tradition Offering. Here's the swag:
a set of two, apparantly restaurant-grade coffee cups. They're
oddly small, holding about 4 oz. They have an art-deco, 1950's
double-diamond on each side. The bottom reveals the following: Trend
China, Syracuse. They'll do for a double shot, and are just right for a
press cup (by technical definition).
Send me your name by 12:00 PM this Friday, March 12th and I'll
select the winner at random later that night. The winner will be
notified by on the list, and will need to send me their address offlist
for receipt.
Bon Chance!

I have two no longer needed Weber bi-metal thermometers. One reads about 15f low at 212f the other about 10f. No biggy as long as you remember and remember to recheck where they're at in relation to 212f. Two years ago both right on the money. Oh, they are not adjustable, cheapo $10 jobs. But if you forget they're off, and don't trust your nose, you can end up with a roast a tad darker than intended! Bean there done that. Broke down and bought a good $40 bi-metal from McMaster-Carr with 6" stem. The Webers have 5&1/2" stems, 1&3/4" dial BTW. Weber pictured on the left, "tad" bit larger dialed Trend on the right...http://home.comcast.net/~mdmint/coffee/thermometers.jpg(you might wonder why the temperature readings in the picture are so different, just finished roasting a 1/2# batch using the Trend...) If you can use one of them reply offlist. If more than two reply I'll draw this Saturday noonish PST.

I have owed a tradition for a while. I knew what I wanted to offer but
I could not find it until just now. I am offering the 1996 edition of
Kenneth Davids Home Coffee Roasting paperback book. This is not the
revised and updated edition that still carries the 2004 copyright. The
one I am offering has the good pictures of the four Agtron tiles #'s
85, 65, 45, & 25 inside the back cover. This is missing form the
updated edition, but my updated edition is autographed by Davids and
mentions Sweet Maria's. Both of which are missing from the offered
book. The procedure, email me off list by 10:00 p.m. Wednesday the
12th, and I will use a random number generator to pick the winner. The
offer is open to anyone on the list, I am willing to ship to anywhere
in the world.

Hey all,
After winning Jeffrey's tradition and being treated to an additional
bonus of some of the bst shots of espresso that I've had in a looooong time,
it's now time for my offering. I have been waiting for the Australian to
come in and now it has. So with that, I am offereing one pound of the
Australian Mountain Top XF. I will be going to Laguna Seca to work at the
races this weekend, (motorcucle, that is) so the tradition will be open
until Monday, July 12. When I return, the first message that I fall asleep
on will be the winner.

Up for grabs is a Presto Poplite popper. I experimented with this and for me it's too much trouble (has a hole in the bottom with a screen, rather than louvres like the popperies). But there've been a lot of posts recently about using this type of machine, so I figured someone could make good use of it. It's 1440 watts; made in the USA; clean, in excellent condition with hood and butter dish. If you search for it on ebay you'll see what it looks like. Email me off list. Tradition ends Monday 9/20 at midnight EST. The respondent whose last name begins with the letter closest to the first letter of my son's first name will get it. And my thanks again to Tom for the list and the list members for all the fun I've had. Stephen Jones |

Who made you keeper of the tradition rules? This is the utmost of what the tradition was about. Circulating a fine piece of equipment that one person was done with so another could use it. Alfred delivered it to me, I delivered it to Zara, Zara is only asking someone allow her to deliver it in person (pick it up) or just not cost her anything.

Since I have an abundance of coffee roasting stuff, and probably will never use all the West Bend Poppery II's that I have, I have decided to offer two of them in one tradition. It is good to have two (or more I thought) because one often succumbs to experimenting, and the other you just need to roast with. I have not roasted with these, but they do heat up and work fine. Maybe you even get a choice of colors! ( I really have way too many hot air machines here). If you win and want another type, just ask, but I need to offer two at a time, and not sure I can match something different. Please write me off list, and I will draw the winner next Saturday, Feb 13. PeterZ Wondering what you people who roast 2 - 4 lbs at a time do with all the coffee, here in LHC. |
Tuesday is trash day, so I am cleaning out my garage again. Some day I will get to see the floor perhaps. Forget putting a car inside. You probably noticed that I am an avid tinkerer, and love to try roasting coffee. Sadly, there comes a time when one just KNOWS that one will never get to certain projects, or even use certain things ever again (sniff). With these considerations, and making additional disclaimers as to what you might be going to do with these items, and with no guarantee expressed or implied, and with your full knowledge that experimenting with electrical appliances can be hazardous, and your knowing that one should use an electrical appliance only for its intended purpose, I offer up for your disposal a 1200 watt Turbo Air Convection Oven Cover. This includes the glass top and the electric part that has a dial timer and a dial thermostat that is calibrated to 500F, and a power cord with some heat shield on it. (I used it to roast coffee, and went on from there. ) It sits on a shelf, gathering dust, along with a semi modified Stir Crazy, which I consider a bit wimpy. But that's just me. Said Stir Crazy has had the heating element disconnected, and then connected again to it's own cord which comes out the bottom of the chassis through a genuine electricians strain relief connector. I did plug it in, and it gets hot, and the stir crazy rod goes around, and reverses. Again, no guarantees expressed or implied. I suggest you use this just to pop popcorn, as was it's initial intended use. If you want to roast coffee with it, well, that's up to you. Some people do with great results I hear, with the added, included convection oven thingie. But I would never suggest doing such a thing. I am offering these pieces merely as parts, inanimate objects. I think they may be electrical because they have cords on them. I do not claim to know what you do with these things, nor do I advise you to do anything with them except to put them in your garage and let them collect dust. If you want to experiment and try roasting coffee, please let us all know how this works for you. Please email me off list if you want into the drawing held next Sunday. PeterZ Sadly getting rid of old projects, here in LHC. |
I was the recipient of a "tradition" book embarassingly long ago. I am now offering up a (gently used) copy of the book "The Coffee Trader" by David Liss.

Okay - I've been on the list for about four months now, so I'm offering my first tradition gift in honor of my younger daughter learning to crawl and become a complete menace - she can now scream and move forward at the same time! Up for grabs is a brand new Toddy coffee maker. This makes a great cold brewed coffee - add water, milk, or nothing at all. I originally bought it for spare parts in case I lost/broke anything from the set I already had - since it's been in the box now for the better part of a year, I thought perhaps someone else might get more enjoyment out of it - especially since the hotter months are now upon us. I opened it just to make sure everything was intact (it is). If you're interested, please send me your name off list. I will have my toddler draw the winner's name out of a hat over the 4th of July weekend (this is sort of in honor of the baby, but she'd just eat the paper, so her sister gets the job).

It is in like new condition and comes complete with the alcohol lamp, stand, and pouring lid. I may even have the original paper instructions somewhere (I'll check). I have three other vacuum pots and would rather let this one go as a Tradition than have it just sit on a shelf in my already overstuffed garage.

With all the folks expressing joy at their Harvey packages arriving, I'll just go ahead and pile on a tradition offering. My Harvey package included Sumatra (Classic & Iskandar), CR (La Minita & La Magnolia), Brazil (Carmo de Minas & Camocim Yellow Icatu), the DP Yirg AND... Panama Carmen Estate 1800+ Meters THE OFFERING: 1 pound green beans, Panama Carmen Estate 1800+ Meters I won a tradition of the previous year's Carmen Estate (thanks again, Jeff). Though my first roast of it was very good I did a roast again of last year's and a roast of this current lot. A bit lighter roast gave a very different cup that I enjoyed even more. I find the Kenya-like acidity at the lighter roast is awesome, but not overwhelming like the really powerful Kenyas can be. I prefer the new 1800+ lot to last year's. If you have tried the Carmen Estate in the past and were thinking about trying the current crop (lots of discussion on this lot recently) or you just plain want to toss your name in the virtual hat to see if the random goddess at is smiling on you, please mail me OFFLIST. Each entrant will be assigned an integer, beginning with "n" and incremented by "n+1". Integers will be assigned in the order in which entries are received until next Tuesday, June 13 at 9 PM.

This is an interesting intersection of threads. I remember I was on
a plane making an approach for a landing at the time the list toast
to Alfred was made. I took some home roasted whole beans to chew-

able to make it through the books in a timely manner. I hope they
are still going around in a year or so.

It might be helpful for some of us newbies if someone would explain the specifics of this tradition. It sounds wonderful and who was Alfred? Michael Holland Los Angeles City Archives VP, Cellarmasters "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." |
Alfred was a seasoned and wise contributor to this list until his final
days. His favorite espresso was a martini, but he also taught considerably
about coffee. His Library of coffee books has been working its way through
this list as a "Tradition Offering", with an added tradition that the
library gets offered up after staying at one's home for a while. Also
contributors have been including something for the recipient to keep /
use. I received a nice espresso flavored soap which I kept...
Many others knew Alfred more than I. Here's a copy of one of his emails
from a while back... This is the last one he authored before he left us...
For the best tamp, give it the finger.... 12/29/04
I think i read this on Schomer's site, but this method works best for
me;
As I fill the basket wih each dose from the doser, I evenly distribute
the grounds in the
basket with my forefinger before dropping the next pull from the doser.
and very lightly
compress them with my finger. When the basket is full, I give it one
firm tamp with a
Thor tamper of course.
I really don't give a rat's behind if it's 20, 25 or 30 or 35 pounds.
That seems to make more difference than the pressure of the tamp. My
Triple Play
tamper from Les has the Danish blessing however which could make the
difference.This process produces the world's greatest Caffe Mocha

I barely knew him, but he had sage advice and was much loved by this list.

I knew Alfred and attended his Memorial Service. He was positive and optimistic to the end. He was an honest person. I was fortunate enough to live close to him and his lovely wife Elizabeth. One of God's gifts to me was the last 7 months of Alfred's life, I had a Hospice patient only 18 miles over the hill from Alfred's house. So, almost every Tuesday for those 7 months I scheduled my last visit for the day only 18 miles from Alfred's and would head over the hill for an hour or two with Alfred. (you guys have teared me up again with this discussion). So, I must say I was blessed with the greatest gift from Alfred, his friendship and love. So what does a 74 year old guy do when he wants to try something new? Alfred loved Espresso, so he bought the best equipment money could buy at the time and the poor guy couldn't pull a shot! So, he called me on the phone and asked if one of my tampers would solve his problems. I told him, "no." He ordered one anyway. However, I didn't charge him the six dollar shipping, but delivered it personally. Alfred lived about 80 miles from my house. We spent 4 hours having a ball! It was during that visit, I was given the name, "Dr. Crema", by Alfred. In less than a half hour good old Alfred was pulling shots like a champ and steaming micro foam like no body's business. Alfred was a former teacher and engineer. It didn't take long for him to catch on! So, that should introduce you new folks to one of the most inquisitive minds with a sense of humor that you could ever meet. Brett, thanks for reminding me again that this is more than a coffee list.

I'm not putting my name in either, I only got 2 lbs myself, but I concur, I really liked this coffee.

Hi All, I have an extra drum for a Gene Cafe roaster. The drum is complete, but there is a crack in the glass. I received it once with a replacement roaster here in Korea, and they sent me another one right away, so I've never used it. You can see pictures of the drum here:http://drumtradition.blogspot.com/It might be useful to someone, either for parts, a backup drum, or maybe someone wants to use it to build their own roaster. Email me off-list and I'll have one of my students draw a name in class this coming Friday (June 20th), which is Thursday for most of you. I'm in Korea and I'll ship it out sometime next week.

I have just received the 250 gr. of Panama Esmeralda Especial that Ed
Bourgeois offered in the recent tradition and to avoid becoming a
delinquent tradition participant, I now offer up the following: A
stainless canning funnel that is a perfect fit for a 58mm
portafilter. I use one to prevent the loss of ground coffee and
corresponding mess in making the move from grinder to portafilter.
This one has about a half inch lip that I found caused too much
disruption of the coffee when it was removed from the portafilter so I
trimmed the one I use back to about an 1/8 inch lip. I am very happy
with how it works now and If the winner so desires, I will trim theirs
back in the same way.
To enter just forward this message back to me by 5:00 central time
Friday the 15th. I will announce the winner and ask for shipping
information soon after.

Thanks Barry, I just watched it, and that looks exactly like the
funnel I am offering. I would note that instead of knocking the
portafilter and funnel around like they do, I use a dissecting needle
to stir any lumps out and I can use the funnel to scrape off any extra
grounds before tamping.

I'd say said tamper like using training wheels not that a bottomless PF is using training wheels. Had this discussion before. Knitting needles, chopsticks etc. another form of training wheels. Would one offer a tamper with training wheels or a funnel or chopsticks etc. to any World Class barista? Please. I've never needed 'em and still don't. Not saying I'm even close to a World Class barista, just saying never felt the need to learn and use other than good solid techniques as I observed World Class barista using from the git go when I first got a Silvia many many moons ago.

This is something I have been thinking on, and still am unsure of my position. I have been using a Ridgeline and adore the results. Does that mean my technique needs work? Maybe, maybe not. But over and over the CUP we say is what is important, not necessarily how you get there. Jumping into the middle of your discussion on knitting needles, chopsticks, flat blades etc (to swipe I assume), I have tried those too, but those didn't improve the cup, so I left them as is (i.e. my hand). I don't see any problem with using a ridgeline. It's true perpendicular tamp is what it is providing. Would you look down on a carpenter for the right tool (like a speed square) instead of eyeing it? I doubt it. Again, I am not sure where I stand on this fully, and I kind of see where you are coming from, but I don't think I see anything wrong with using a tool to make your shot better.

Years ago there was a graph in Scientific American of man's running ability and a Saber Tooth Tigers running ability. Man was supper. Then they had a graph of a man on a bicycle against the tiger. Man beat tiger. If we consider language as a tool man far outstrips the tiger. I can just envision two cavemen talking. "You know ,Klem, if I rub these two sticks together I can make a fire and the Saber Tooth tiger does not attack" The second cave man responds;" If you sharpen one of those sticks you can kill the Tiger with it."Finally, a third cave man interjects;"Have you guys considered publishing your data?" The bottom line is when was the last time anyone saw a Saber Tooth Tiger? Don't knock tools. They made us what we are and as far as the Ridgeline make us better Batista's.

I guess I should not say anything about the Ridgeline since in reality I haven't used one. Yet I don't see how it can "assure" an "even" perpendicular tamp when the ridge doesn't come into play until the end of the tamp when it contacts the basket. IF the tamp is begun uneven, not being perpendicular, then "corrected" at the end of the tamp by the Ridgeline hitting the basket lip that could not in my experience be as good at preserving the distribution as a perpendicular tamp from the beginning. Using the god given tools of three fingers in a triangle simultaneously touching the tamper piston and basket lip at the beginning of the tamp enables lining up the tamper perpendicularly at the beginning of the tamp. I would like to try a corian tamper piston sometime, I never did like the feel of any of the wood piston Thors on the grinds compared to very smooth hard SS. BTW, I didn't mention a "flat blade" though I did at one time use one after watching Dr Joshuma and his staff use tongue depressors many years ago. But I too have used my finger for the PF sweep for years. My REAL main reason for the reply was Barry's continued insistence using a bottomless PF is "training wheels". Go ahead pull countless shots day in and day out every day for months with bottomless PF's in a busy environment, with very very seldom any channeling, and come back and tell me again. You SEE the shot, you have nothing interfering with the crema's path to the cup, you can keep your heavily used PF's clean very quickly and easily. Shot build problems easily and immediately seen. Oh and tamping with a bottomless PF much easier to repeatedly align for perpendicular tamp especially when pulling shots rapidly back to back to back to back. A good deal of my ability to work fast in the Kafe I attribute to learning and using sound professional techniques at home from the git go instead of crutches. OTOH I'm really not against anyone using whatever method they need that floats their boat to achieve a stellar shot be it WDT with a knitting needle, chopsticks or whatever. I simply chose to follow the lead of top professionals when I began learning and believe good consistent results can be achieved without convoluted methods. Hey, some shops even use the LM Swift grinder with it's built in self tamping until their baristi learn to tamp properly, some use it forever.

My point simply is that everything mentioned is a tool. The Naked PF is a learning device. In addition, in my opinion,the e-61 group head delivers a better shot with the additional mass of a regular PF as opposed to the lighter smaller Naked PF On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 7:22 PM, miKe mcKoffee wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I was off the list for a while... Can you give us the specifics on this canning funnel? Where did it come from, what part number, price, etc.? Thanks. Jack |
Jack,
I bought a couple of these well over a year ago. I picked them
up at a local feed and seed store that also sold canning supplies. I
had a inch/metric tape measure and as I recall it was describes as 2
1/4 inch hole and it came in just a touch under 58mm so I bought them
and after trimming it down, it worked fine. Saves a lot of lost
coffee from the Major and cut down on the complaints about the mess by
my wife.

I have a Presto Scandinavian coffee maker that I bought a couple of years ago but never used. Un-boxed and tried it a couple of days ago, and drip just isn't for me. Works perfectly. All I ask is for you to pay shipping, which I calculated on UPS to be around $15. We can do PayPal if you have an account, or just send me a check. E-mail me at randyr5 if you want it. Thanks...

I'm not sure that is really a *tradition* as they are, ummm, traditionally at no cost to the winner, but $15 for this pot sounds like a good deal for someone. There is also usually a time set for a blind draw, etc. I know there are folks on the list that have the complete tradition history saved somewhere. I'd be interested in reading it again.

I know that when I wanted to enter a tradition, I wrote off list to the person and offered to pay the postage, as I am in Canada. He replied that art of the Tradition was that it was absolutely no cost to the winner. For that reason, I haven't entered any--thinking that it is just beyond too far to expect anyone to have to take on the cost and hassle of mailing things here. If postage is generally paid, it is news to me, and I stand corrected. v Brian Kamnetz wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
When I had my Untraditional Tradition some months ago (for my homemade biscotti), I asked that the recipient(s) pay for the postage, as I wasn't able (may never be able, ha) even to afford paying postage. I have no shame in admitting my poverty, lol. But seriously, times are getting hard for many, and this may be a way for others to take part in a tradition (if the rules were made up originally... then they should be able to be adjusted...) Would think the postage would fluctuate according to distance from the giver... biscotti can be put in a flat rate box, so that's what I was going to do, until a kind member offered to pay for the shipping - so we had a Combination Duo Untraditional Tradition... it's enough to make my brain hurt...

I paid shipping on my last tradition because it was coming from Korea. Otherwise I think I'd expect to pay the few dollars it generally costs; if it's going to be something expensive then I'd do it differently. But different situations call for different solutions, and I wouldn't have any trouble paying shipping either way. --Derek On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 4:14 AM, Vicki Smith wrote: <Snip> -- Every path but your own is the path of fate. --Thoreau Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Seems to me the list should cut Randy some slack. I haven't seen him post before, perhaps he's a lurker, perhaps he's brand new. Anyway, it seems that he used the word "tradition" for a simple gift to the first responder. He had something to give away if someone else wanted to pay the postage. I think that's a fine and generous gesture. I hope we haven't chased him away by obsessing about the wording of his generous offer. Bob |

I don't disagree. I also recognized his relative newness, so I was trying (pretty awkwardly, it seems) to differentiate between his very nice and generous offer and what it seems to me that we call a Tradition, which has a history, value, and more or less particular form. Giving something very nice away to the first person who asks for it is a wonderful and generous thing--with or without the postage issue.

Hear, hear Bob! We need to realize that not everyone knows all the 'correct' definitions, whether they lurk or not. Many 'old timers' (list wise, not age wise) think everyone knows through osmosis or something. ;-) I try to convey my thoughts clearly, but at times I may use a 'reserved' word without understanding it's meaning, just as many might misunderstand my meaning in the words I use. I have been on the list for a bit over a year, but I still have much to learn. I admit up front my ignorance, but I also am reaching a point of not sharing my experiences because it seems that some folks here wish to 'correct' instead of inform and teach. Just my two cents. This is NOT meant to start a flame war, so please don't take it that way. It is a simple observation from a newbie (to the list). However, I do know I am not the only person who feels this way, so take it for what it is worth, if anything.

Hi, I don't post a lot but have been buying greens from Tom for many years, starting back when he was based in Ohio. Maybe I shouldn't have called it "Tradition" but I know that I will not use it and figured someone here might want it. Believe me, I'm not making a dime on the shipping cost. In fact, it will cost a bit more than I asked for, but that's OK. Next time (if there is one) I will call it "Free + Shipping" or something like that if I ask the receiver to pay the shipping cost. Randy - back in lurk/occasional post mode.

The tradition started by having the recipient pay the shipping then we
decided that that was just an additional hassle because a winner was
expected to give up a tradition it made sense to make it easier to pay
the shipping on the offer rather than the shipping on the item
received. At that time we suggested that foreign winners should be
willing to pay the difference between what a within the USA shipment
would cost and what it cost to send the item to their non-USA
address. We also suggested that if someone wanted to offer up
something extra heavy like a full sized grinder or an espresso machine
it would be appropriate for the winner to pay the shipping.
I would suggest the absence of a random drawing on the latest offering
takes it out of the spirit of a tradition and that the person who
spoke up first should not be expected to offer up something else. The
idea of allowing everyone interested enter the pool and randomly
selecting from that pool is a key part of how the tradition helps to
build community among the list members.

BLACK FRIDAY DEAL: Free greens!!! :-D I was just going through my stash, and I have a LOT of good beans that I will probably never roast. I am too interested in trying new coffees to just stop buying, so I end up with more than I can possibly roast in the iR2. I have two shelves in my kitchen cabinet crammed full of greens. Here is what I have for this tradition: 1) ~ 4 lb Indonesia Flores "Jade" 2) ~ 3 lb Sumatra Classic Mendheling 3) 2 lb Sumatra Lintong Nihuta KVW decaf 4) 2 lb Papua New Guinea Kimel WP decaf 5) 2 ea 2 lb Papua New Guinea AA Maloolaba (yes, I have two of these) 6) ~ 1.5 lb Columbia Perros Bravos de Huila 3 star 7) ~ 1.5 lb El Salvador Mataplapa Estate Peaberry 8) 5 lb El Salvador Matalapa Estate ~ means approximately (may be more/less than stated) various of 1/4 - 3/4 lb will be put in as fillers until I run out. So, here are the rules of this tradition: Email me OFF LIST with your two (2) primary choices, and with two (2) alternative choices, and your *snail mail address*. I will reserve these on a first-come, you get it basis, until such time as it is all gone, when I will inform the list. Please limit your choice to 7 lbs MAX for your primary and 7 lbs for your alternate choices. I will ship these to you, free of charge, via Fed Ex ground if you live in the lower 48. If you live outside of the USA, or in Hawaii or Alaska, you will need to arrange and pay for shipping. (FedEx shipping number) We use FedEx at work, so this is the easiest way for me to ship. How it works: respondent A asks for the Jade and Columbian respondent B asks for the Jade and El Salvador Peaberry with an alternate including Matalapa Estate respondent C asks for the Jade and Columbian with an alternate of the Matalapa Estate and Peaberry respondent D asks for the Mendheling and Decaf Nihuta, A, B and D will get coffee. C is out of luck until next time. A will get Jade and Columbia de Huila B will get El Salvador Estate and Estate Peaberry C will get nothing as the choices made are already reserved D will get Mendheling and 2 lb Nihuta Your address will only be used for the tradition, and will be deleted after it is complete. Entries WITHOUT addresses will not be considered. Entries OVER 7 lbs max for primary or secondary choices will not be considered. The way I figure this is that at least 4 people will win, and up to 7 may win. Good luck!

Hey, Ken - what a sweet deal! (and no insane crowds, too) Throw my name into the hat - can I leave it for you to choose? (I don't like 'thin' coffees - only tasted one fr. SM's in all the time I've roasted that was too thin for me - or coffee that's has too much acidity. Can't think straight today - this was a TOUGH week!

Since I was a lucky winner of some of Ken B's greens that he offered as a tradition a while back, I am going to keep it going. So, in true tradition fashion I am offering three replacement cloth filters for a Yama Vac-Pot. I think they will probably fit other makes as well. Anyhow, if you are interested contact me offlist with your mailing address. I will draw the winner on Cristmas Eve sometime in the afternoon. Good luck, Steve Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |

I have 3 K type thermocouples that I would like to offer for those who use thermocouples on your roaster. With the Hot Top, I do not need to hold onto 5 at a time, so I think I will allow them to go where they will be used. They are 24 gauge PFA thermocouples, 36" long, from Omega and hold up to the rigors of roasting in the IR2 quite well compared to glass insulated ones. To enter: Send me your snail mail address off list with Thermocouple Tradition in the subject line. I will choose the winner by putting all names entered in a box. The name pulled by Ms E (my cat) will be the winner. I will announce the winner on the evening of Tuesday, December 30th and send them via USPS.

My stash is bigger than I want it to be right now (I want to order some new beans!), so I decided to offer up some green to the list. The offer is for 1# of Ethiopia Koratie WP, and 1# of the DP Koratie. I ordered a bunch of both when they were first available and have enjoyed them immensely. If you are interested, send an email to benjaminverhage at yahoo dot com with your name and address. Please use "tradition offering" as the subject line. Offer is open until Wednesday 10:00AM EST at which time I'll think of a clever way to pick the winner. Good luck everybody!

I find myself in possession of three Chemex pourover carafes, all of which I have found at thrift stores, none of which I paid more than a few dollars for. In the interest of freeing up a bit of cabinet space I would like to send one of the larger carafes to a new home. To that end please send me an off-list email with CHEMEX in the subject. Numbers will be assigned to each person as email arrives. On Monday I will have my son draw a number from a hat and will notify the lucky winner off-list. Shipping is on me.

Good afternoon! Once again it's time to offer up two of this year's limited edition coffee cups to two separate members. These cups are designed by Rita Shields and myself. Well, Rita and I choose the cup and the stamp is designed and made by me. This year's stamp is a multi-pointed star cut in brass and gently pressed into the clay before firing by Rita. I commission these cups strictly as gifts and give most of them away. I keep a few for myself and none are for sale - there isn't enough money to buy one. Please don't ask to purchase one. Once I get my log-in sorted out on the Sweet Maria's gallery page, I'll post a picture of the two cups going in the mail. So how do I get in on this fabulous offer, you may ask. It's simple! Just e-mail me OFF LIST johndespres and state your interest. See? Simple. I'll draw two names from my antique Kaffee Hag coffee can and will announce the winners the evening of Dec 20. To recap: 2 limited edition cups Not for sale 2 winners Email me off-list before 6 PM Eastern time Wait until the evening of Monday December 20 for the big announcement Sometime the week preceding Christmas, I'll send the cups. If anyone has a question, please ask! Good luck!

Okay, then! Lessee here... 51 entries. I'm humbled and more than a little pleased with the response! Given the number of entries, I'm adding one more cup to the lottery, meaning three winners will be chosen. My computer says it's 6:02, so opportunity for entries is over. I'll draw names shorty.

I've mostly lurked here for the past 4-5 years, but back when I was a regular I read many a post by Pecan Jim (fascinated by his & Charlie's wood-fired roasting methods) and participated in more than a few Tradition offerings. I haven't gotten anything in years; having no need for more stuff, I'm also trying to downsize what I do have. But Jim's point is well-taken - this tradition is a good thing. Since I quit making espresso at home, I've got a couple espresso items to pass on. The first are these: Two 2.5oz brushed stainless espresso cups w/saucers. Just like the ones Tom & Maria carry http://www.sweetmarias.com/sweetmarias/miscellaneous/cups/espresso-cup-2-5-oz-ss-round-handle.html) but used. Clean, no dents, and in very good condition. Email me off list (pauljolly65 at yahoo.com) with "espresso cups" in the subject line & I'll put your name in the knockbox. Drawing is at noon PST on Wednesday, 12/29!

Are those the same pair SS demi's I offered as a Tradition Offering years ago!? If so yes they'd be just like the ones offered by SM, that's where I bought 'em!
