Every Christmas-tide I order my coffee for the next year, usually because I receive a few monetary gifts from some members. So, here is the order for this coming year.
Ethiopian Natural Sidamo 4 FTO Oromia - 20# Haitian High Altitude Typica Gwo Chwall - 5# Kenya Peaberry Muhugu Estate - 20# Colombian Supremo Popayan - 20# Hoping that holds me for the whole year! Peace of the Lord be with you.

Yes, for about 17 years now. Use a Fresh Roast 2000 coffee roaster to do so. Have already used up a Fresh Roast 5.

Sounds great, Todd, especially the two African beans.
![]() Me, I gotta grit my teeth and make do with store-generic cans 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.

Mud normally runs (or oozes) about 2 bucks a can, so around half the price of your beans. And though I am sure your brew is at least twice as good, I still could not justify it on my budget. But I am glad someone I know and like gets to enjoy it.

I like your choices, but that's a lot of green coffee beans. I only order about 10-12 pounds at a time, how do you store your green beans?

Now, I may be wrong, but there have been no problems with the beans I have had around. Peace of the Lord be with you.

Looks like you have a nice selection lined-up for 2017 Todd
![]() Like Todd, I simply store mine in the bottom cupboard, where its dark and cool. Try to keep as much air out of the bag when I reseal it and store it after a roasting session.

I even store mine in burlap bags, letting the air in. It allows air flow which keeps the mold from growing.

Do you have grinder, or is buying roasted beans out of the question?

![]() I do have a Krups grinder and splurge on beans rarely, using Mayorga, Starbucks, and Dunkin in the past. Of course I like these better, but cannot fit this into my budget often. As for green beans, I've had fresh roast a few time, but have never done so myself. Too much like work. ![]()

I roast about a week's worth, keeping the roasted beans in an old Del Monte Grapefriut sections container.

![]() My beans simply arrive in thick sealed plastic sacks (5#). To date, I guess I've been fortunate not to have experienced mold on the green beans. Then again, I don't worry about it.
