Always sad to wake up to an empty jar of beans. Time to roast!

Must be nice!!!!
 
Yea I love that little machine. Saves me a lot of money buying green beans instead of $14+ a pop for roasted ☺
 
Counter-intuitively, it actually doesn't smell like delicious brewing coffee; it smells kinda grassy or hay like in my opinion :)
 
OK! First we have to get Spark to OK it. Then start a new thread and take a poll. Then put it out for bids from coffee roasting companies. Maybe someone will offer to design the label. Of course, there will be a few who want a decaf option...😜

Trying out some new espresso cups I got today after breaking one of my two double wall glasses. :mad:
Medium-dark roast Nicaraguan. Not sure about the specifics though. Wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

Hi. Just came across this thread and wanted to share. My family went to Costa Rica this past summer 2014 and while we were there, we toured the Britt coffee factory in San Jose. We learned everything from how the beans are grown from seed to packaging. They have five coffee plantations that are in Costa Rica and the company really takes care of the workers. I have always enjoyed drinking coffee but after our trip, we always buy directly from them and have it delivered. The different roasts are amazing. The higher the altitude, the darker the blend. Most of there coffees are grown in volcanic ash but it's not to acidic. We prefer the Tueste Oscuro dark. You have several blends to choose from. Also, did you know that from the time the bean is picked....it has 24 hours to complete the entire roasting process and packaging before its bad? No joke. Anyway, I could probably be a spokesperson for this coffee. Lol Its truly an amazing coffee and if you haven't had it before, give it a try.

Good luck in your search,
Donnie
PS did you know it's illegal in Costa Rica to sell any bean that's not 100% arabica? It's true.
 
Good info. A guy I use to work with owned a bunch of property in Costa Rica. His stories made me want to visit there.
 
Sightglass roasts some great coffee. If you're ever in SF hit them up; they have a pretty sweet cafe space.
 
I cooked up some single origin Sumatra and I am perusing the Exchange....does it get any better??
 
Coffe is in my blood . As a kid living in Puerto Rico my father and mom use to pick coffe during coffe season . Money was tight so they did what they had to do . Wake up at 4:00 am to get to the town of Ciales witch was about 12 miles but took about 40 minutes to get to because of all the up and down hills and the curvy roads . I remember the days that they will let me and my two sisters skip school to go with them . My oldest sister never went . We use to get paid $5.00 for a 5gallon bucket full of coffe . We use to pick the coffe in small bucket that was rapped around our neck . I had to be around 10 years old . One times I had a sack full of coffe beans my father told me wait don't take the coffe up the hill . What did I do . I took it up the hill slipped and all the coffe beans come of the sack . My father was great he looked at me and just told me pick as much as you can then he gave me one of his sack of caffe . That was hard work by 12:00 the sun will hit hard and tempeture will go to the upper 90 . Lots of ( aballardes ) those are like fire ants . My sister got it good one time she was picking coffe right on top of an ant hill . Great times great memories .

I'm not a fan of flavor coffe I like regular black coffe and this one is one of my favorite .

oh hell no....bustelo? That stuff took the lining off my stomach, the hair off my head and I'm still trying to reset my eye from when it twitched itself into looking at the back of my skull...
