That is why I roast my own. I really don’t like any coffee that isn’t freshly roasted any more. That is why I roast my own.

I'm glad to hear you are staying. This locale seems a good fit for you and your family. Are they going to replace the missing man or will you continue to pull extra duty? Good luck with Isaiah! Another 8 weeks to go? I just noticed that you updated this post. I’m glad to hear you are staying. This locale seems a good fit for you and your family.

Good luck with Isaiah! Another 8 weeks to go?

The pound I roasted for a friend two days ago had an amazing aroma yesterday, just before I dropped it off to him. Yep – the aroma on fresh roasted is quite compelling.

I have some friends who want to try my coffee but who don't have a grinder and want me to grind it for them. I found the right grind setting (#5 on my KitchenAid Proline)but as I was eye-balling each sample to compare to the Folgers sample, I was struck by the immense difference in aroma between my coffee and the Folgers! Amazing! The freshly roasted coffee is so pleasingly fragrant you want to forget everything else and heat some water. But the Folgers has no coffee aroma at all! Its' smell reminds me of the unpleasant odor that frost-bitten food from the freezer often has. Certainly not something you would ever want to drink!

How'd that Rwanda get in with that bunch? Not a single mention of 'rustic' anywhere in Tom's description of it. :-) That Brazil has me wanting to make another order. Sure hope it lasts a few more weeks. And you know, I wouldn't mind having another two pounds of that Indian coffee either. It is a good one! Enjoy your coffee, Jason! You've got some good ones. Hey!
