True, but you can phrase it as cutting into the base cost.

A grinder is something you already use, so doesn't count. I really like the Capresso Infinity burr grinder I got from casa.com :)

An sr500 roaster is 180, comes with 8 lb of coffee. Dunkin donuts store price is over $10/lb, and even generic tends to run about $7, so the roaster itself effectively costs about $100.

The only other thing is a way to cool the beans fairly quickly down to room temp, ideally in 4 - 5 minuted. I picked up a little 10" box style desk fan, place it on top of a colander holding the beans being cooled. Since I have a small shop area I built a little wooden frame to hold the colander and fan.

Where did the roaster come from? And the generic here runs about $9 a can, so I'm going to exploit that.

Once upon a time... (here we go..)
I was in a spell (well, it lasted over two years) of VERY black days. The blackest they get.
I cut off communication with the world.
Someone noticed. A very dear friend with whom I have many common bonds.
This is true. It was Pedro Carvalho, a very spiritual, and special guy.
He reached out to me and said "Friend, where are you? Is everything OK?"
And I told him, that God had abandoned me, and left me in the darkest of places..
And I did not want to taint the air of others, with the damnation I was suffering.

He responded, with a link. When I read it, it gave me hope in the dark. Not truth, only hope.
It wasn't until I came back from that place, that I did know that it WAS the truth.

Several here are going through some very difficult times. You may think that you have been left on your own. I know this is a thing that we don't openly discuss, many have other feelings, so I will only post the link here, so that those of you who are wondering or sure that you have been left alone, can read these words, and have hope. They were helpful to me, and I hope they are helpful to you, also.

Coffeeproject for sr500 roaster with 8 lb coffee.

For recurring coffee I've switched to Bodhi leaf, that's where the nic San Jose is from. Delivered cost, including shipping, runs $5 - $6/lb if you buy a several pounds at a time. They seem to run a sale every Tuesday.

Huh...think I'll definitely get the roaster from Coffeeproject (same price for the roaster but 8lbs free vs 4lbs free from Bodhi)...but I gotta have that San Jose when I can do this!

    Still doesn't go as far as I'd like with regard to the vaping part of the regulations from what I see in the story. But good news nonetheless.

    I'm hoping it actually addresses it a little more in the actual rule than what was mentioned in the article...most of the article seemed to be about cigars.

    Sorry about not being here's today. Doctors have no idea why it is getting difficult to walk for me. I have so much pain in any foot wear and it is like someone is driving a spike through both my feet. Been to 3 docs already and just shoulder shrugs. GGGRRRRR...
