That's how I got started. It's similar to brewing in that regard. The first batch will be pretty darn good, just like your first extract batch, but soon you will be looking for ways to improve on your roasting methods.

I'm tempted to send you some of my home roasted coffee. I think I will. I'll roast it on Sunday if I can remember to do so and get it in the mail right away. It should be quite fresh when it arrives. This will give you a better idea of what we are talking about and you will be hooked immediately. I'll roast some Columbian Supremo No. 1 for you. There's no turning back now!...Christ!

Can we set something up where you guys roast coffee, grind it, and then deliver it fresh to my house weekly? Thanks.

I have something like that arrangement right now with a couple of my friends. Though I won't pre-grind it for them. Freshness goes downhill withing hours of grinding.

It works out pretty nicely. They give me money and creative control. I give them fresh coffee. It helps pay for my coffee habit.

Awesome! So, just add me to the list, and grind it for me. But don't ask me for any money.

sweetmarias.com

burmancoffee.com

sweetmarias has better tasting notes, and a nice tutorial on recognizing different roasts.
