What do you pay for a can of mud?
If you look at what I picked up, (including the Haitian which is treat-myself splurge and more than I'd spend normally) I am getting 65 pounds of coffee shipped, for less than $400. That's about $6 a pound, but about $5,50 a pound for 60 pounds worth, the Haitian is a big difference.
You can get into an introductory roaster for about $130. I've had mine for about 6 years now, after the first one finally gave up the ghost.
For the difference in fresh roasted coffee, it is amazing. And I am guessing, not truly much more expensive than the "mud" you are drinking.
Once a week I get coffee other than at home, it is the day of the Men's Morning Bible Study. I think it rude to sit there and not patronize the shop, so I get a cup there. Although, I have brought the owner some of my fresh roasted coffee, for they buy theirs elsewhere, and the owner was duly impressed.
