Mmmm...fresh coffee

[javasaurus]

As I mentioned yesterday, I tried my hand at home-roasting coffee. So this morning I ground some beans and prepared a pot. It was extremely drinkable. It has a slightly oily texture, and a nice nutty flavor, but the flavor was a little weaker than I like. A little bitterness, but more as an afterthought, not the overwhelming primary sensation. I have enough dried beans to do two or three more roastings, and I think I'll go for a little darker.

So I call this a successful adventure, a definite learning experience. And the resulting coffee is, if not as good as Peet's, very nice.

(Peet's is an online mail-order coffee store, which roasts coffee the day after you order it, then ships the day after that)

I imagine the house must have smelled wonderful during and after the roasting.
