Have you corrupted anyone lately?
I have been told by people that I send my home roasted beans to that I have corrupted them. Usially that means teaching them that coffee taste better when it doesnt come out of a can or when it is home roasted or both.
This week, I got to send a new Friend in New York a half of a pound of my beans and a blade grinder. Worked like a charm, he told me he is thinking about grinding his own beans. |

Re: Have you corrupted anyone lately?
No but I'm willing to learn!
Seriously though SD BEERMAN (Larry) roasts his own beans (giggle) and I had a cup or two of his coffee and I'm going to seriously have to think about getting one of the small home bean roasters etc., I drink a lot of coffee and that was the 2nd best cup I've ever had. |

I am not a huge coffee person. The g/f is and I am sometimes tempted doing this just for her.

Re: Have you corrupted anyone lately?
Have totally corrupted my barber.Took her some coffee,she jokingly told me that now her hubby is a complete coffee snob.Both are on a new level now when it comes to coffee.
Took some of my "meshugass" blend to my friends at Hendrix Wire Wheel, a Big Healey shop of note in the U.S.,the guys enjoyed the boost while dropping a race motor into a 1955 100-4 currently in the shop.......... |

I'm past the age where I corrupt people, honey, and leave it to wild kids like you.

Re: Have you corrupted anyone lately?
Gotta admit that I've flirted with trying this for a long time and had someone send me a 1/2 pound of their home roasted beans. They were great, but for some reason I've hesitated. I love my coffee and think it's about time to take the plunge. Thanks for sharing. Steve

Re: Have you corrupted anyone lately?
Go for it Steve. If you can find the right hot air popper, it's a cheap investment for some of the best tasting coffee you'll ever have.

Re: Have you corrupted anyone lately?
I got a few people into it. I myself was corrupted by Revsmoke a couple years ago and have been roasting since. Bought a Freshmore. I do however remember corrupting an old colleague. He started with a corn popper and in a few months had a behmore then started making some out of a rotisserie chicken oven and making chambers for them and selling them on ebay and he roasted lots. Then he made a wrong life decision and now Now he sits in jail ordering crappy coffee and using hot tap water to brew it without a coffee maker.

Re: Have you corrupted anyone lately?
Hi Laura. So far I've only tried it once and it was very enjoyable. The beans (that you provided thank you!) roasted to a light brown and the brewed coffee was very good, but a bit too mild for me. I'll have to adjust. I've been reading quite a bit, especially on Sweet Maria's and placed my first order for some Columbian beans to roast. I also ordered a burr grinder that hasn't arrived yet (replacing an old blade grinder that wasn't working too well). I have been travelling a lot for work and just been busy, but I am looking forward to trying it in full ernest very shortly. Thanks for all the advice. Steve

Re: Have you corrupted anyone lately?
I try to wreck everyone that will taste the home roast!
Here is a little help in the conversion!! I do not work for these folks, I just like them and get all of my green beans from them. I asked for a discount for my cigar buddies and they gave me one, here you are. I spoke with my friends over at Bodhi Leaf and they have graciously offered CA members a 10% discount on all green bean orders! Simply enter the promo code CIGAR and you will receive the discount! Go get some beans gents! http://www.bodhileafcoffee.com/

Thanks Doug! They already have better pricing and now this extra 10% I've been much happier with the product and service that I've received from Bodhi than some other popular vendors. |
