[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Paging the Coffee Roaster

[Mykle Hansen]

it seems about five years ago, people were just starting to do  
interesting
DIY instrumentation of small home coffee roasters.  these days,
you can buy full-on roast robots with everything built in, and just
focus on developing your roasting profile in Excel.

i have one of the original FreshRoast popcorn-style roasters,
which some people on the internet have hot-rodded with
digital thermometers and digitally-controlled variacs in
order to automate the roasting.  it's fun and educational.

but i eventually noticed that the best coffee roasters
seem to do every batch by hand.  =)
