if you really want to roast beans, go to Sweet Maria's and buy a roaster. Also note, it's something you will need to do outside to maintain domestic harmony.

[RBW] Re: Favorite Coffee (regular and decaf)
Funny, during the first batch I did on the stove top it became obvious to me that I would need to move this operation outdoors to keep harmony. However, my spouse seems to like the roasting odors as much as I do and the smoke is sucked up the range hood so I don't feel too bad that I still have not searched for that electric burner in the basement.

Similarly, I love the aroma when visiting El Molino, in Ybor City near Tampa. A small roaster serving Cuban restaurants.

[RBW] Re: Favorite Coffee (regular and decaf)
I understand the sentiment, Ron. I am frankly as surprised as you, if not more so. In defense of hairless cats, er, decaffeinated coffee, here is my explanation. Adrenaline rushes are bad for my brain. They release adrenaline and cortisol and other short term gain/long term debt things. Caffeine stimulates the release of Adrenaline and friends. What is fascinating to me is that with the Swiss Water Method of decaffeination, the flavor of the bean remains mostly intact. In addition there are things that my brain experiences, as with dark, unsweetened chocolate, and far more so with endurance aerobic running and biking, that help it without the long term need for recovery. However, I only get this effect with freshly ground beans brewed well. So, it is possible to be a decaf coffee snob. Grin.

[RBW] Re: Favorite Coffee (regular and decaf)
the sentiment is mostly humor, Deac. If I were purchasing decaf, it would be French Roast and brewed in a press. I smoke my cigars, and was also posting on the cigar board this morning. I smoked cigarettes for 17 years - that was Many years ago. I quit then by - ok, prayer - and chewing coffee beans, which answered the 3 instant gratifications, oral fixation, toasty flavor, and stimulant. From the cigar board I also know many fine coffee roasters, who have refined their tastes over the years. Every few years I meet for a coast kayak/fishing trip with a buddy who has honed his coffee blend to finest I've ever tasted and can't get it too strong. I make the breakfast tacos.

I have been using a skillet on the stove top to make a larger batch than the air popper. With the pan I have, I can do around a cup of beans at a time, about 2.5 times more than the air popper. It takes longer, is a little more smokey, but a very satisfying activity with excellent results. I cannot see buying an expensive roaster.

I messed around with the popcorn popper way, until I set it on fire trying to roast too many continuous batches. My current method is an old wok and large wooden spoon constantly keeping the beans moving. With a little practice, you can get pretty good roasts. You might have a suitable old pan already, no extra equipment needed. Even the worst batches made a better cup than a lot of coffee shops in my area. And it's a fun process to watch and experiment with! And for decaf you're more than likely going to get more dialed in roasts that suite your needs than other roasted coffees.

[RBW] Re: Favorite Coffee (regular and decaf)
Just in the last 6 months I've gotten into the single origin coffee roasted in my neighborhood at the ME Swings Roastery. They introduced me to the pour over brewing method to. Oddly enough this is all a result of the government furloughs this summer as it was during the 6 consecutive Fridays 'off' that I was able you attend the Swings coffee free 'cupping' demo's where we would go through a smell/taste process kind of like wine tasting with several single origin coffees... It was pretty cool. My coffee if choice right now is an Ethiopia Amaro Gayo, lots of sweet blueberry notes and an overall light, bright coffee. But I usually change it up every other pound or so. Its a big change for me as I had always preferred strong bold blends until recently, particularly Sumatran coffee but these days the lighter stuff is working for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I've also made a switch a few years ago from darker roasts to mediums - liking Ethio Yrgacheffe and Amaro Mill the most overall. Lately been trying Costa Rican Tarrazu (earthy, nutty) and El Salvador Finca Malacara (woody). The aromatics are really nice. Expecting an Aeropress for my upcoming BD gift.

Christopher Chen said: There's something fundamentally relaxing and grounding about the *act* of making coffee That reminds me of something my friend Doug said. This was about 25 years ago, before Doug became the VP of Coffee at Peet's. We lived near each other in North Berkeley, and we both walked to Vine St Peet's every single morning. I bumped into him one rainy morning on the way to Peet's and asked him why did we always go to Peet's? We both were perfectly capable of making our own coffee. On a cold rainy morning, what was wrong with us that we both still wanted to go to Peet's? Doug said: Sometimes, it's just about *The Going* You can drink Peet's at home, but you can only go to Peet's by going to Peet's. You can only make coffee on the trail by making coffee on the trail. The act and ritual of making coffee on a ride is not (entirely) about wanting or needing coffee.

It is very good though , nice and dark, oily, smoky and rich . . .. a . I have some relatives in Utah that I'm going to try some Organic Double French roast directly from the Ibis Caffe in Logan, UT.

[RBW] Re: Favorite Coffee (regular and decaf)
Peet's Major Dickason's on the office dime, whatever's cheap and cheerful at my place, usually Trader Joe's. Highly inconsistent, likely dull electric grinders and aged French presses at both spots. I know there are better coffees in the world, and even down the road, but I measure in litres per day, so those first three cups don't even hit the sides on the way down.
