Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45569613 What's your favorite bean to roast? I love roasting Brazil or Peruvian beans, so sweet and rich! We just got a Malawi Peaberry that tastes smooth as silk. Expensive stuff though : / TEll ME ABOUT YOUR ROASTING EXPERIENCE!! Has anyone tried coffee with emulsified organic grain fed produced butter and coconut oil? apparently, its delicious and helps release the caffeine throughout the day so you do not feel a peak and then drop.. but get a steady flow of caffeine throughout the day? Store bought butter kills the deal. Emulsified butter hasd to be made from traditional, raw, unpasteurized milk, so all the enzymes are still intact. Have tried coffee with above and with fresh cream from unpasteurized and with coconut milk. All amazingly delicious. Never tried w/coconut oil. |

Where can you purchase this? You can get organic coconut oil at any supermarket or health store.. and grain fed butter you can always find at a farmer's market or a health store as well. |

I can't confirm this straight in coffee, but what I can confirm is the time-release effect if one eats a breakfast with such fats. For instance I use coconut oil for my eggs and hashbrowns each morning. Ever since doing so, my nervousness and coffee consumption have both gone down. On a side note - coconut oil *really* seems to fit the bill of the human body in 2013. If anyone's looking for a way to get that extra 'step up' to help them through the day, I'd suggest consuming some. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 41713542 United States 08/22/2013 12:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not sure why this got one starred? There are a lot of people trying to save money by purchasing green coffee beans and roasting as needed. Why would that be a bad thing? It's actually a smart way to purchase in bulk and roast what you need. You might wish to look at this youtube channel, Yankee Prepper, as he discusses several coffee techniques that are not commonly known. |

The cup you drink it in matters and the quality of the products you enhance it with matters! |

It's a lost art form now, I go to high end coffee houses and they push a button and the machine makes it all, very sad and never as good. I hear you. You have no idea how much it pains me to watch people in N.America (Canada incl.) chugging down these supergallon cups which are the new norm for coffee doses. Coffee, properly prepared, is meant to be consumed in small quantities, by today's standards. Tjose standards still remain in much of Europe, thank heavens. Order a coffee in a regular French or Italian patio bar and you get a tasse of fresh, aromatic coco delight. All 150-200ml of the magical tummy potion. Anything more and it's just severely diluted shock and awe. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 45542815 United States 08/22/2013 03:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I roast with a small pot and a heat gun. It works great and helps to get into the roasting process. I usually like to roast to full city +. When finished, I dump the beans onto a perforated pizza pan that is sitting on top of a bucket attached to a vacuum. Cools the beans down pretty well. If any of you guys are looking for a deal on some coffee. Look up "Green Coffee Beans - Peru" or "aproposinternational" on ebay. 4 dollars a pound for some high quality green beans. |

You pull the seeds of a plant struggling to stay alive and reproduce. You take these seeds (embryos if you will) and cook them in an oven or worse over an open flame. Then you pour boiling water over them and catch the runoff and drink their poor little souls. You heartless bastages. How do you live with yourselves? |

Yep, I was famous for my “free pour” Cappuccino, don’t need a spoon to pour the milk if you steam it just right. Might have a polaroid or two from back in the day. Never double steam!

I figured I Made over a ¼ million drinks a year easy as a low estimate, I’ll tell a for serving coffee I was making some serious cash, triple minimum wage at the time + tips with full benefits and set schedule. Now a days the kids make a lot less, anyone can push the button and have the computer make a drink. Though they are not often edible in my opinion.
