Crew Review: Nesco Coffee Roaster

Next up in our home coffee roasting series is the Nesco, another easy-to-use air roaster for small batches. Rob walks us through the features, roasts up his first batch of Velton's Bonsai Blend, then we compare it against the master's a few days later.

It went right into the cool down within moments of the first crack so you'd be drinking lemons :P

@stuvlie Pointed out a second later. Brilliant!

Is that "Coffee Roaster" really in Comic Sans MS? Ugh..

[rwgamer]

@RealCandyRayne I guess either is acceptable, on Peet's website they also have it listed as first pop and second pop. "Crack" seems to be more common though.

[RealCandyRayne]

@rwgamer well I live in US and worked in the caribou coffee mpls where the roasting goes on and all the roastmasters there and that have came by and visited all call it POP

[rwgamer]

@RealCandyRayne Not sure which country you are in but in the U.S. we call it crack, not pop.

[RealCandyRayne]

and you have a first second and third pop which determines, light, medium or dark roast

[RealCandyRayne]

to the person that says that the "crack" is to water releasing out is completely wrong first off it's called a pop and is the natural CO2 being released.
