Great way to start the morning Craig - I looked real hard at the Behmor and thought I would never roast a whole pound - I was dead wrong on that one. My kids come and steal all my coffee

I have plenty of cutters..love my Xikar...

You can come on down anytime!!!!

From the area where coffee was first cultivated..and discovered by goats...hahahahahahaha

 Craig, you are killing me

!!!! I barely have the time to keep up with making bacon and smoking meat

 and now you are roasting your own beans!!! You are getting hard to keep up with

……One day I will figure it all out …..

 

[mike johnson]

Im not that big into making coffee. Let me restate that. Im not into roasting my own coffee but I just picked up a 4 cup press and let me tell you that was the best coffee I think I have ever had.

 

[roller]

Cool !

My daughter bought me a French press 4 yrs ago and it does make good coffee...

Craig 

Are you still getting the beans from Captains ? I am always trying new beans and I will have to order some of those Yemen beans

 

[mballi3011]

I see that relaxing is doing you good Craig. Now your roasting coffee. I see what your getting the next time we go to Jamacia.

Craig, Since hurricane Isaac I have been helping a coworker repair his house from flooding

......He was not required to have flood insurance and well long story short, the old man down the street, that's 81 said that he has never seen that much water in his life. So we (my son and I) have been volunteering to help him repair his house. I'm hoping we get it finished up this weekend so I can get back on the horse

.....I have been itching to fire up the smoker for a while now

......I still have 2 briskets in the freezer that I need to do something with.....But roasting your own coffee beans !?!?!? Now my wife's going to have a fit

when I tell her I want a bean roaster for Christmas !!!! Oh, Wait I wonder if I can roast them in my smoker ???

Just giving you a hard time....I have nothing but the utmost respect for you and what you do

..... and I enjoy seeing what others enjoy doing as a hobby

. I really like the ideal of being able to take my coffee experience to the next level....But I'm from Louisiana

and I'm sorry, but if anyone see anything but Community Coffee

here they may string me up by heels.......

Craig

Yup..

I roasted 14 ounces today..the Behmor wasnt thrilled with the smaller beans. I shook the cage before the roast and quite a few fell thru.

I am gonna get some from this guy soon..A few more bucks but a larger bean..

I dont really know what it is..but sweet marias site is very annoying to me..

I dont like the new Captains site much either..I called them and offered my opinion and some help.

Hahahaha..my wife is a web site designer so I look at sites critically. http://adchix.com/

 

[scarbelly]

I know Craig but the Sweet Marias reviews are awesome and very helpful - not to mention they are very much into sustainable farmers

Maybe so..I find it quite annoying to navigate and wont be buying anything there.  

I am gonna try roastmasters and see how it goes..

Ok what do you guys think about J. Blue Mt. Leave the price out of it.

 

[dragonmaster194]

Congrats, My next venture will be coffee roasting.  Retirement is great.  Also gotta try those cigars, but gurkha's are so inexpensive now I'm pretty stocked up on them.  Oh well, it's fun trying something new.  Keep on keeping on.  Steve

I have tried some of the fancy stuff...Kona and JBM..  my palette doesnt get much more from it than any mid range stuff.

My favs tend to be high grown stuff..central America and some African...

Read about mosooned malabar from India...

http://muddydogcoffee.wordpress.com/2010/06/23/how-stuff-is-made-monsooned-malabar-coffee/

A very different coffee..I love it...folks either love or hate it...

I have seen TV shows about that process and I don`t think to much of it...Ha Ha Ha ! I am just going to have to find something that I like since I have never roasted before. I drink a Louisiana Coffee and really like it...
