I finally got around to (someone sent me an "aroundtuit"!) buying a roaster and some green coffee beans. I ordered from Dean's Beans. Nicaraguan, Ethiopian, Peruvian, and Guatemalan. I roasted some Guatemalan-they said smoky flavor-I get burnt out of it, and some Nicaraguan-they say dry with cocoa taste-I get pretty mellow, not bad.
They say flavor sometimes doesn't peak till 36 hours after roasting. I have not checked that out yet.
We are having a memorial for my Mom who passed in December this coming weekend. She was always trying to make a good cup of coffee. Hopefully my contribution to the meal is a coffee that is extra good.
Got Ethiopian to try yet-they say wild and fruity, and Peruvian-sweet and gentle.
It takes about 6 minutes to roast enough for 20 cups and it is enjoyable. Don't know yet if I will become a coffee snob and refuse to buy regular coffee. They say any coffee is stale after 10 days, vacuum packed or not. Most coffee today isn't that well sealed like it used to be in the metal cans anyway.
