Wake up and roast the coffee

Jump to Comments

There is nothing better than a steaming cup of wickedly dark coffee first thing in the morning. About four months ago, we added “coffee roasting” to our self-education efforts. We were stunned by the difference.

The very first batch of coffee that we tried roasting in an old skillet ended up tasting better than any coffee we’d ever had. Since then, Dave has perfected the air popper method of coffee roasting. The coffee is incredibly smooth. We can make it extremely strong and never taste bitterness. We’re hooked on this old-fashioned lifeskill. I recommend trying it. Here’s a helpful link (it’s on our blogroll as well.) Coffee Roasting - DIY.

This is a great, inexpensive way to feel truly indulgent in one of the finer things in life.
