Larry “three cracks” huh? I believe it’s first crack, second crack and then fire! 0 Reply December 2, 2008

Ron Cortez I liked the article a lot. Certainly it makes a coffee house proud to do it’s own roasting and I know that the customers level of awarness grows once they visit a working roastery (even with a small roaster). About the sound of coffee cracking, is not an accurate way to know when the coffee is ready, and most of the time a simple termomether will do a better job in my humble opinion. 0 Reply December 2, 2008
Steve Kessler I laughed at the “third crack” part. It must of been a mistake. I’ve never seen Jeff or Eric roast into the “somewhat mythical” third crack. It would be a heck of a fire though! 🙂 0 Reply December 2, 2008
