Yeah.
Tell us what is usually a good time for this crazy bunch to see your
shop in operation. I would think you roast early in the day? Tell us
what time of day is best to see roasting in operation and what day of
the week

You do have to burn off the superficial taste buds in order to enjoy the
full, rich flavor of boiled, perked, dripped, and instant coffee. Us old,
experienced coffee drinkers have tough but delicate taste buds.

That is actually the best tasting coffee I have ever brewed. Steeping the
grounds and then evacuating must be the trick. French press sits on the
grounds, the perk recycles and concentrates the alkaloids, boiling probably
does the same.
