Roasting Your Own Coffee Beans

by on Jan.31, 2010, under coffee, Kitchen

Well, I guess this was inevitable…found an incredibly cheap coffee roaster (the FreshRoast 8) on our local craigslist the other day and snapped it up. Actually, it fits in perfectly with my other coffee purchases–cheap and functional, allowing maximum learning before I decide to upgrade. So far, I’m still learning, but once again wondering why in the world do people go to place like Starbucks? The coffee is inferior, the beans are stale and burnt, and the espresso is execreable. It’s really easy to roast your own beans…takes about five minutes and some knowledge about when to stop the process. Just another geek thing, I guess. Anyway, I suppose my coffee education is complete (of course, we need some more time to refine our knowledge, but that’s just expected).
