Sweet Maria is my bean source - focus on Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Guatemala and dabble in others...tend to do for a City approaching Full city (stop after first crack is complete).

Such fun - amazing - I like the whirly pop because I can do 10 ounces at a time - takes 8-10 minutes on my front porch, using a coleman stove.

What do you think? My feeling is that it is an adjustment - one realizes that Starbucks burns away the regional origins and it all tastes like Charbucks. Home roasted flavors are subtle, fascinating, distinctive. So we now travel with our beans, a grinder and a French Press!

I love Kenyan coffees Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2018 #4

I will modify that - Kenya are a delight to roast - they end up a beautiful uniform color, NRaleighLiberal Mar 2018 #5
