Head Down, Coffee In
Seems we’ve figured out our flame issue–a dirty thermal coupling was causing the flame to go out at temperatures above 380 degrees. We’ve partially disassembled the burners, cleaned it, and realigned it. Our initial test run was promising, but I’m going to give it a real shot today.
Apologies if it seems like I’ve been quiet on the coffee front lately; we’re just putting our heads down and our nose to the grindstone trying to get to production status, and there’s a lot of niggling details to pay attention to. I keep reminding myself not to get impatient, because the truth is we’re ahead of schedule and under budget, but I still feel like we could have done this faster. Though it’s always easy to think that way with the benefit of hindsight, of course.
So close! Hopefully here in a couple of hours we’ll turn out our first true batch of coffee…
