Stuck bean

[Hawko]

Hi,

Quietly going about my roasting when I noticed a bean stuck to the end of the probe after my last roast.

It’s really stuck, as in won’t budge at all

Any suggestions here? I’m guessing a rip off is not really the solution

Hi,

I was told to get a pair of long nosed pliers and gently squeeze. It easily shatters. Nerve wracking each time it happens.

I seemed to have one batch of coffee that regularly had a stuck bean, fortunately it's been months since it's happened.

Sometimes you can very gently wiggle it off, but it sounds like you've already tried that.

Cheers, Justine

Thanks Justine. I’ll give that a crack haha

All fixed - back to roasting

Excellent, I'm glad it worked
