Comment by vincent on April 27, 2008 at 5:15pm - Roaster is not like a toaster, or a roller coaster. Malabar has lots of moisture, I like oysters too, why must we pay so much for Jamaica Blue, when it's true,that a good Mexican or Ethiopian is a better brew.

Comment by Kayakman on April 27, 2008 at 8:03am - I still remember the first time I had coffee brewed from freshly roasted beans. It was at Dunn Brothers Coffee on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, MN many years ago. I was instantly addicted to the full rich flavor... it changed my understanding of what coffee should taste like. Nothing can compare to cup brewed from freshly roasted beans. Roasting ROCKS!!!!

Comment by CJ on April 19, 2008 at 7:56am - Remember Roasters, Earthworms love to eat chaff and old coffee grinds are great for composting! Earth day is Tuesday, April 22, and with the spring weather arriving earlier and earlier, it's good to give to farmers.

i love the fellowship of my "old fellows" here
and some new ones i have yet to meet up with
i have a shop in toronto called java mama
it is community based-fair trade sold in bulk at 30% discount--consignment-neighborhood friendly-roasting on site using 2 hot tops and only doing small batches
i also offer sample cups at 2.50 of c.o.e.'s so people can try it
wish i was barista or expert roaster but just an enthusiastic hobbiest
welcome any support or help
brett mason showed me some good aspects of my Boticelli when they all visited last yearwishi knew more of you all personally

Thank goodness. I wasn't joining until I knew Dennis was here!
I'm also a homeroaster and am loosely involved with a tiny micro roaster/shop opening here. Mostly I hang out, cup coffee and talk roasting. Kurt does all the real work.

ok everybody can relax I'm here now!
I am a homeroaster (RK Drum primarly) but I have dabbled in a few other methods in the past.
I plan on opening a coffee shop when i retire from the Navy in a few years.
