Scrounged Coffee Roaster

uglyroast coffee roaster

I’ve been known to modify an innocent kitchen appliance or two, but Derek Bradford has me beat. Derek is on the third iteration of his ‘uglyroast‘ coffee roaster. Since the nearest Home Depot is a continent away, he’s limited to simple parts and tools. The beans are heated with a gas stove. The second version used an electric fan and a camp stove. The latest one has a dedicated motor and sits over a gas range.

  2. I’m steve the troll. Please feed me more everyone because your hatred makes me feel good about myself. You see I’m starved for attention in real life so I have to gain it through your scorn. It may be pathetic, but it is how I get my kicks.

    So please keep feeding your local troll.

  3. post 9 is imposter also ur all nuts how can i post somthing on hackaday when i know that you will never understand it what is the point i am far to advanced for this site and all its pethetick readers if you all raise your iq a few thousand you might understand but i know that will never happen never mind you can all just carry on being pethetick LOVE STEVE

  4. oh come on guys you all know steve attempts the hacks. and he complains about the ones he cant do. which just so happens to be all of them.

    also love the site. elliot. ive been reading in the shadows for quite some time now :P.

  5. THey say that to understand someone, you have to walk a mile in his shoes.

    I think the solution, then, is for all of us to become steve. “In a world of steves, only one man had the courage to be steve”

    Now, let me take a little jump back onto topic: Welcome aboard, will. Great first post, whether the other steves liked it or not. True makers read stuff like this to see how people overcome challenges in their projects. They see maybe one more skill they can learn in a howto, one more tool they can use. If you only read hack-a-day because you want someone to hand-hold you, you want simplified instructions a toddler could follow, then you will find hack-a-day is not your kind of place. I dub thee “script kiddee”. Get off my lawn.

  6. Okay Maker I can almost handle. Just so long as it is only said rarely. (Unlike its sickening over-useage in a certain blog which will remain nameless)… but if someone calls us crafters, I don’t care I’m leaving!

    We’re equipment hackers here. Which means… um… we are like Makers but… um… geekier and thus superior. Or something like that.

  7. For a start, coffee runs my world… If i didnt have coffee, I would probbably shrivel up and die, I drink the basic ground nescafe blend 43, and how I would kill for roasted coffee beans or even just propper coffee… I am male, I am masculine, and most computer geeksand I assume techies, hackers, whatever is pollitically correct for you guys enjoy a good coffee as much as I do…

    Secondly, your *far* advanced to us, no offence to others that work in the industrial door industry, but steve, cmon, how advanced could this job be, a bit of math, electronic work, and microchip programming be? If i were as intelligent as you claim to be I’d be in like 3D engine/physics design, or anything that reqiures more intellectual ability than your career…

    Your comment about IQ, come on, its stupid… If you were as super smart, you’d know that your IQ and your knowlege are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, you can have a low IQ and be more intellectually capable than those with 150+.. and raising your IQ by ‘a few thousand’ is not possible, you cannot raise your IQ (AFAIK), and a ‘few thousand’ is a bit overexadgerated isnt it?

    Dont call us pethetick, we are learning by hacking things, and in my opinion, these hacks are advanced… We are learning, your sitting here complaining that your too smart, my opinion is that you should STFU and go read a ‘book for intelligent people’ (Itiots guide to life) and be happy…

    Steve is dumb
