  • If anyone is going to the coffee festival today or tomorrow would they check out the Ikawa home roasting machine for me?

    I was supposed to go tomorrow and look at it for my brother in law but I'm just been struck down by COVID so I can't go.

  • Doesn't the Ikawa only do very small batches? I always thought it was more of a test roaster than anything else.

    Edit: Just checked the site there, they state a max of around 90g out. Mine maxes out around 220g out and wish I had've went for the model that was twice the size. The Ikawa does look nice to be fair, but only having enough for 5-6 espressos per roast or 3-4 filter brews per roast would start to get on my nerves pretty quick!

    Mine is a Korean brand called Bocaboca, they do a 250g and 500g model. Kaldi also look like they have a pretty decent range.

  • My brother in law has a lot of disposable money. They just switched from moka pot to the big boy cash money Sage bean to cup espresso machine and he's basically gone off a cliff into spending money.

    I think he literally just wants to try it and see how it goes for a few months and he likes the design/aesthetic of it.

    I'll pass on your recommendation to him though
