Stopped by a local, fairly new veteran owned gun shop today, I'm all for supporting veteran's and local business, when I walked in a saw a new display of coffee, the owner told me this coffee company is also owned by a veteran, BLACK RIFLE COFFEE COMPANY I understand not everyone is fans of firearms, to each their own, but if not, I hope you could see past it, at least visit the link and maybe give the coffee a try and support a veteran. :thumb:

The owner recommended the light roast called Silencer Smooth, I'll give it a try in the morning and report back. I look forward to trying them all eventually. :)

Sale ends today. I've enjoyed their ak-47 espresso blend.

idk if I could have ever gotten into roasting, I looked into it though but the amount of time spent just making an espresso is pretty bad by itself without adding to that roasting beans before every cup.

I'm not a huge fan of the taste of coffee which is why I used to prefer espresso (I can just chuck it down my face hole) so I probably tried just about every highly reviewed/recommended coffee brand, many beans. I found 2 I actually liked from coffee by the roast, I forgot what the other one was but I have a pic of it somewhere. Anyway yeah, put those Kenyan beans on your bucket list either from them or somewhere else (depending on the supplier they're usually the same bean) it's extremely good, coming from someone who dislike the taste of coffee.

I roast about twice a week, takes me a half hour each time, and I can multitask while doing it.

The smell of the roasting beans, I can see where that could get addicting and a pleasurable task. Like the smell of baking bread, prelude to the goodness to come. Mom and Grandma use to bake a lot of bread, I couldn't wait for a hot slice smothered with butter, a fresh cup of coffee from fresh roasted beans to go with it, man I'm drooling just thinking about it. :)

I read that it's only effective for if you do it right before you grind them up & use them, I guess after they're stored is when the mold happens. & I figured I'd rather eat the mold than have to roast beans before every cup, otherwise i might have gotten into it. But any of the good coffee websites roast it right before sending it out so if you go through a bag every 1/2 weeks that's not too bad.
