Coffee!

Decadence, eh? Tonight . . . roasting coffee for the next week!

I think I'll try the Ethiopia I've been meaning to roast up, and some more of my Sumatra Blue Batak, and maybe a bit of the Mandheling. I've also got to figure out what I'm going to roast for a couple of friends who buy from me.

 

tell me, good sir, of your roasting techniques.

We have a few here who dabble and I, for one, enjoy roasting in a cast iron pot.
Cheap and effective, I must say.


Having a sip of my latest addition to the bar:

 

I've not yet tried roasting in the cast-iron pot. I started, as many of us do, with the good ol' air popper. Now I've moved up to a heat gun because I have too many people asking me to roast for them. *grin*

I'm also putting together, for sake of "I did it" a charcoal-fired "hobo roaster" with a coffee can, soup can, and some 9-gauge steel wire.

I've been watching thrift stores for a good cast-iron kettle I could use, and my two skillets are quite dedicatedly kitchen implements.

 

Did someone say



?

I have this shirt in white . . . I luvvit!

 

From Sweet Maria's, which is, bar-none, the best supplier of green coffee for the home roaster.

Phewww. I just finished Infinite Undiscovery on Xbox 360. I can live again. And drink absinthe. Which I do. With a Dunhill Mixture 965.

 

Dang, I need to get some more Monkey....I have been hurting since the motor broke on my roaster

 

*AHEM* I'm right here, you know!

Not my favorite, but it'll do:

 

my own recipe:

1 glass
3 ice cubes
3 oz Jack Daniels Single Barrel

 

Medenica. It is a Croatian alcohol brought back by the parents of a friend. The label would be totally illegal in France. There’s absolutely no information on it.

 

Rather like mine:
1 glass
10ml Oban Single Malt

 

Oops, I must have deleted the picture! Nothing that interesting, just a bottle of Cabo Wabo tequila.

 

Some Mugi Shochu and Dunhill 965. I'm officially fed up with HDR photography.
