MERCURY 400g small coffee bean roaster-- users' experience sharing

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

My younger brother has been living in the United States, working relationship, drinking coffee is very fierce ah!

(the first Mobile01 is dedicated to the coffee version) Tea

Usually also like to run well-known coffee shops, not to mention the blue bottle, Portland's Stumptown Coffee is a favorite. (let's talk about it after the coffee in the United States.)

After a long time in the United States, I began to learn to bake on my own. At first, I went to Amazon to buy the cheapest popcorn machine modified into a bean frying machine, and finally improved to using a Fresh Roaster hot fan.

Since I was transferred back to Taiwan this year, I have been wanting to buy a better coffee roaster, but to tell you the truth, it may be that I am not familiar with it, and the information about the coffee roaster seems to be difficult to obtain (without a large platform XD).

After a good stroll at last month's coffee show, I locked several small roasters, and then I finally made up my mind. I finally received the goods yesterday!

In fact, I began to notice this one in July this year, because there was a discussion on home-barista.com abroad, and I was attracted by my appearance (admit that I was superficial)

Finally, I went to the on-site booth to have a look, and received it about a month after the next order.

(a lot of nonsense, the following is an open-box text) XD

When the goods arrived, they were packed in a carton with nothing written on the outside but MERCURY and the anti-fall sign XD.

Open it with a full-color user manual full of large books.

The manufacturer didn't open the protective film, but packed the whole box tightly with foam.

Everything is taken out, including coffee machine body, accessories box, cooling tray, funnel, changeover head, bean bar, blower, power cord

First take a look at the user's manual, specifications section.

Here are the hardware instructions.

What's special about this machine is that it needs to be controlled by a mobile phone, so this page is about the settings of App, and App can be downloaded in advance from their official website.

To connect to Bluetooth

And full of precautions, XD.

It's assembled and it's just right on the balcony. Compared with mobile phones and Ibrahimovic dolls, I really think the machine is very mini.

After Bluetooth is connected, the machine will be warmed up in accordance with the original factory's recommended procedure. I will warm it for 20 minutes to 190 degrees. (see the electric heating pipe glowing in the dark and feel a little handsome XD)

A front photo looks exactly like a scaled-down model of a large roaster.

Some raw beans on hand are Kenyan AA FAQ. Measure 300g first.

Put it in the funnel, about octagonal full, about 180 degrees into the beans.

The temperature recovery point is 120 degrees in 59 seconds, and then the dehydration period is 4 minutes 25 seconds and 154 degrees turn yellow.

There is a small viewing window, in fact, you can also see the beans rolling.

Coming! Seven minutes, exactly 174 degrees.

Then I glided to 8 minutes 34 seconds 179 degrees out of beans.

If you take an X-ray shot, the evenness is good.

I manipulated Meimei curves for the first time. (actually asked the baking suggestion of the original factory.)

Can't help it, don't raise beans, just try to have a look.

I use 20 grams of 300cc, look at the steaming, just baked is super fresh ah.

The saliva is dripping.

Kalita 1.2L is used with a filter cup with Tian Yaki.

This Kenyan AA has round acid value, not very bright, and high sweetness. The taste is full and thick. The tail rhyme is also quite good.

After baking a pot of silver skin, it looks like this.

The overall feeling is good, let's talk about the conclusion.

Advantages:

1. The appearance is very designed, the size is small, and the color matching is also good.

two。 Just in the cold balcony to try drying, feel the heat storage is very good.

3. The volume is 2100W, the firepower is enough, and the throttle is strong.

Disadvantages:

1. That silver skin will still spray out of the air duct.

two。 You can't pick up third-party baking software like Artisan, only use their App. (it is lucky to have the function of curve recording)

3. It's a little uncomfortable at first to use App without physical buttons. (and App feels very sexy, XD)

Conclusion: purely in terms of machines, this is really a good machine, if App can have more functions in the future, it can completely make up for the problem of using mobile phones to operate the machine.

This machine costs $43900, which is good for the first use of a 400g machine, and the follow-up depends on machine stability and maintenance services. however, manufacturers have a very good attitude and have been guaranteed for one year, saying that they can contact directly if they encounter problems, and they will answer them carefully. So far, I'm satisfied.
