basic lever

Geez blokes you forgot to mention that he should buy a milking cow, grow a couple of sticks of sugar cane down by the fence, and buy shares in a chocolate farm  :D :D To infer (as I think is being done here) and wind people up to think that to be able to better control the variables in coffee making you need to roast your own, is taking it a bit far especially as roasting your own at a home level is going to produce very variable results indeed.....very variable. It brings back the dreaded C word. Consistency, particularly in the most basic forms of home roasting. To roast your own because you enjoy doing so is well and good, but no one should have any trouble developing their coffee making skills using a good supply of professionally roasted coffee. Period. Just a random thought from the sidelines.

C-man

Go for it C-man. Us chippies have to stick together

yeah, I have wood and can make the box- haha I cruise the garage sales often and will start collecting the bits, no rush

Absolutely spot on! Thank you sidelines.  I generally play out of left-field so very much appreciate the coach's guidance!  Back on topic... I think... I'm heading seaward (C word) myself for a couple of days for a music camp (another C word!) and taking my La Pav for its portability and the Rocky to stop the dormitory flying away in the event of a cyclone.  The portable smaller lever will be put to the greatest test of all... Keeping me sane!  :thumb:
