I hope before the end of the year I will have a real coffee roaster! I sometimes get tired of the fuse blowing. The smoke alarm blaring. Or just all the chaf that gets on the floor. And roasting outside is just not fun.

I like to roast peaberry coffee beans because since they are smaller they roast faster. Their have been a couple times when I thought they were gonna burn. But you'd be surprized at how hot and how long they can roast before the burn.

Just letting you know. I am also trying to grind my coffee not so fine. It produces more bitterness if its to fine, plus having uneven roast doesn't help things.

I have tried doing light roasts, but I like the taste of darker ones.

Vanilla Coffee

Well, this all you people who like sugar and milk, or milk and sugar in your coffee, and like it flavored once in a while.

Roast your coffee to the desired level. Then pour it into a bowl or something, take vanilla extract and pour it on the beans. They are hot and so are going to soak in the extract.

This is pretty good without milk and sugar, but I think it would taste best when you add those to components.

Home Roasted Coffee

Well, this is my 3rd blog, on some of the interest I have. I am trying to keep my blogs clean and organized, thats why I have them in seperate catagories.

I have been roasting coffee since Nov' 08. I got interested nearly a year before Dec 07. My Uncle was looking around for a cheap way to roast and buy coffee beans. He was really into coffee and had upgraded from his coffee maker, so I got his.

I was buying stuff on amazon over the summer, and I finally got a popcorn popper. Not the best to use for coffee, but I made it work. :)

I emailed my Uncle to ask where he bought his beans. It was from http://www.thecaptainscoffee.com/
Local to me, and so it caught my eye. I ordered from them, and got the beans Thanksgiving week, when we had cousins and uncles together. So I got to roast coffee every night for the morning, making it very fun!

I bought 12 pounds of coffee, which will probably last me a year. I don't drink it except on sunday, or when we have someone over. I found I am more of a social drinker.

I then met someone who also roasted her own coffee and was just starting making wine. Roasting coffee is a fun experince, you get the coffee as light or as dark as you like, and it really does make a difference, having fresh roasted coffee!

So if you are interested check out the website, also if you want to buy a popcorn popper because of the price you can email me about it, or do some research on it. I think their is a place called sweet maria's, that talks about it.

Have fun!
