    Hi from the most isolated city in the world

    Hi guys,

    I am from Perth Western Australia, the most isolated City in the world. I am a coffee roaster by trade but I have spent my life working in cafes and restaurants. Everything from the kitchen, to the floor, to the espresso machine.

    In the coffee world there are hundreds of myths and old wife's tales relating to roasting and extracting coffee, which means that I spent a good chunk of my career meticulously testing and disproving them (and sometimes proving them). When I started to learn BBQ I stumbled upon amazingribs.com and was so relieved to find all of that work had already been done.

    I love breaking down the science side of anything that I do and as I learn more about chemical changes of a piece of meat I am finding that I can apply that to coffee. Suprisingly meathead is really upping my coffee roasting game. I am hoping that I can also bring some coffee roasting knowledge to barbecuing.

    I am new to the pit but have been cooking on my Webber for about 7 years in my backyard and have recently upgraded to an offset stick burner.

    Everything I know about BBQ is from this site and from meathead. There is no way I would be at the level I am currently at without this website.

    I consider myself somewhat an expert in coffee so if anyone has any questions about coffee hit me up. I am finding coffee is a big part of barbecuing, especially on those 12 hour cooks.

    Welcome to the "club"! I really enjoy roasting my own coffee at home, and I think that would be a fascinating job to have. We recently had a thread going about it and some people expressed interest, so maybe you'll get some questions! As far as BBQ goes, you've come to the right place!

        Welcome to the Pit Santostfm I would love to hear some of the coffee myths that you have disproved or proved. I want to start home roasting my own coffee.

          Also only use specialty grade coffees not commercial grade. This doesn't mean you have to pay a fortune for them. I have had coffees that cost $250 a kg Green that don't taste as good as some $15 a kg coffees.

          In terms of myths ect I need way more than 300 characters to wrtie about them. Once you start roasting message me and I can walk you through how to make a good profile.

                      Welcome to The Pit Santostfm! Nice to get an intro from you! We have a couple coffee threads going, you should jump in when you find them and disprove some myths for us. We're all about busting myths and learning best practice here!

                      You've probably already seen this before since you're not brand new here, but if not please check out our homework assignment post for new members, it contains a few how-tos and please-dos. This will help you learn your way around so you can get the best experience from our forum.

                      Also, it's very important that you:
                      1. Give us an email address you actually use. You can set or change your email on file with us by clicking your name in the upper-right, then User Settings, then the Notifications tab.
                      2. Add the domain AmazingRibs.com to your email safe list. We NEVER spam! This is important to receive notices about your account, such as if you’re up for renewal or are ever drawn as our monthly Gold Medal Giveaway winner (we’d hate to have to pick another person because you don’t answer us)!


                      Hope to hear & see more from you!

                        Welcome aboard Santo. I've got to think the stfm stands for something else other than your name & Santo just might be your name. You definetly have come to the right place. This site is filled halfway with science geeks. Enjoy the ride!
