<<<fans self>>> OOooOOoooh, THAT is sexy!
I haven't bought beans to grind in a while - I'm on a tight grocery budget - and coffee has gotten expensive. I keep reminding myself that in just 9-10 years, we'll be RICH because the boys will be gone and we won't be kicking money at their education. lol And I have never roasted my own. That sounds like something I could get into lol.
I started roasting about 10 - 12 yrs ago with one of these roasters I got on ebay (search coffee roasters theres a lot under 50 bucks usually) for 50 bucks Nesco Coffee Roaster - Air Roasters - Coffee Roasters
In the long run it is about 1/3 of the cost of buying preroasted coffee and its actually fun. When I started the green beans were dirt cheap but now that its trendy the green beans are going up.

DH roasts his own coffee too. Has been for about 5 years now. He has a very difficult time drinking coffee at work or on the occasional nights out to dinner. He'd rather have water or soda

Yeah you get spoiled. Jazz says I'm a coffee snob
Luckily my work has Keurig machines as well (one of the reasons I took this job over others), so no biggie for me. And for my 5:00am mornings - DAMPF runs on Dunkins!
I don't drink the stuff so I can't tell the taste difference. I can say that it smells better than the Folger's they used at work when it's brewing. He does a med roast on it so apparently it doesn't get that scorched smell taste to it that many commercial brands have
My old job at (a facility which shall remain nameless) had an excellent coffee mess. I'm not normally a coffee drinker, but the quality of options was enough to sway me into having a cup or two or five. My new contract has rudimentary coffee facilities and I've gone back to not drinking any. I'm not a big fan of Starbucks, but 8'oclock seems to be one of my favorites.
DH used to grind 8 O'clock coffee at home until he got the coffee roaster. It's not a bad alternative
Thats true the lighter the roast the more caffeine - it burns away on darker roasts - thats why most breakfast blends are light roasted. I myself prefer a medium full city roast
Well, it depends on the beans, too. A dark-roast robusta is still going to have more caffeine than a light-roast arabica. All things being equal, a lighter roast will tend to retain more caffeine than a darker roast; but there are too many variables to simply say the lighter the coffee the more caffeine.
Doesn't matter to me, anyway--I don't drink coffee for the caffeine. I really only drink coffee a couple times a week--my caffeine comes from Ale-8 and I generally have enough in my system that it takes a couple cups of Turkish coffee for me to feel any caffeine-related effects.
the brew also affects the caffeine. The longer teh water/steam is in the been and the deeper it penetrates (Hush up and quit giggling) the bean, the more caffeine will be extracted.

I finally figured out what the 'co' stands for in 'Crazy and co. (was:Chit Chattin away!).'. It stands for coffee.
I find Sponge Bob hilarious but understand. Many parents, in my day, did not let their kids watch the Muppets because here is a LOT of ADULT humor in them. Rewatch some the old ones
Spongebob reminds me of a Bipolar Sociopath at the peak of his high...
Yeah, It was done as a lark. It is about time to make it right again.
Good Morning PIFers!!

I'm reverting the thread title back to its original name as soon as I get my tongue off the flagpole.
