Yeah, well, when you do a 60 mile Mt bike ride, a 1-2hr trail run, AND a weight workout every day.... You need those calories. Freak.

Glad you like the Torro! I recently ran out of the base Brazil used in the Torro, which was a crazy awesome lot of coffee, and had to buy a lesser lot to fill in until something better comes along. So while it's still good, just you wait, it gets much better. :)

I also ordered a new top Colombian, part of the same project from the same supplier as my current Colombia. I'm so excited, these are absolutely gorgeous coffees, relevatory, as a customer put it. And I just put up a new Sumatra Aek Nauli, it's in the store now; it'll be replacing the awesome Sulawesi Toarco, only 2lbs left of that.

Nice. Just ordered some of the Sulawesi the other day. I'm going to have to try your new Columbian next.

If you guys are curious, I apprenticed with a master roaster for 2 years, then sold my mt bike to fund the purchase of my own roasting equipment in 2005. It barely qualifies as roasting equipment:



Yup, that's a $120 Home Depot Charbroil BBQ, with a custom fabricated perforated steel drum, and accompanying motor setup. I roasted 20,000 lbs, at least, from 2005-2013, 2lbs at a time. That's over 10k batches, in rain, sun, freezing cold and burning heat, outside, day and night. I do it still around my day job, because it's not big enough to support me yet. Last summer I nearly broke, and quit. It hasn't been financially beneficial, really, and it's frustrating as hell, but life happens and sometimes good things too, and I bought the roaster below:



It arrived in October. It's a 6lb per batch San Franciscan, made in Nevada, built like a brick **** house, and extremely capable. Before, every gust of wind, and every temp change screwed with my roast. Now, I'm indoors, and I have accurate temp controls, air flow control, cooling, etc. It's amazing. I love it. My coffee has always been great, with my best batches being as good as anyone's on the planet, but I couldn't replicate that 100% every time. Now I can.

The business is just me and my wife. I work full time as a bodyguard, coffee on the side, and rep for a supp company elsewhere too, while my wife raises our kids. It's been a tough haul, but this year is looking good, and I'm hopeful. Last year someone asked me why I do it; I just looked at him, like 'are you ****ing kidding me? Why do you think? For the money, 2lbs at a time? No, because I love it.'

Yeah.

Thanks! The problem with that is shipping time and freshness. 7-10 days is too long, you're missing the whole freshness window, and faster shipping is exorbitant.

Thoughts on Hario Skerton?
http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Coffee-Mill-Slim-Grinder/dp/B001804CLY/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1393602703&sr=1-2&keywords=Hand+grinder

The slim is better than the Skerton. The top gear attachment is metal, not plastic, and won't strip.

New Ethiopia is up:

dry grounds smell of tropical fruit, jasmine, and honey, while in the cup, black and elderberry combine with gingersnap cookies, tangerine, and jasmine, and it's all super-sweet and sparkling clean. Absolutely superb.

I feel the benefits but I don't add what the original calls for. I don't put nearly the amount of butter or MCT oil in as the original. It's just too high calorie for me... It does t mix with the rest of the day.

As for results I see increased energy and ability to reach ketosis quicker.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Yessir! Since last year, I got myself out of my garage, and into a tiny-but-legit commercial space. I've managed to get myself some decent press, like this:

https://twitter.com/charliesheen/status/580052897901072384

These:

http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/food/snacks/west-coast-roasting-hand-roasted-to-order-coffee.asp
http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/giveaways/years-supply-of-west-coast-roasting-coffee.asp

Which led to this:

https://www.citizengoods.com/sales/west-coast-roasting-blend-55-coffee

So it's getting some good publicity going, just need more volume.

I like coffee, why haven't you taken my money and sent me good coffee yet. Probably because I forgot the name of your coffee company and haven't seen you around to ask you to remind me what it is again.

Do you know him personally? Or did he just find out about your coffee?
