Home Roasting

Not really sure if it would fly(or be profitable), but I can picture a retail shop where small batches of greens are roasted on home roasters (in the cafe) for in store use. Full-on cafe, just using home-roasted beans. Could also sell greens and roasting equipment to interested home roasters... Really bring attention to the craft of coffee roasting...maybe even have a little shop roaster to get a little better consistency for the in-cafe needs....

Anyway...could be pretty fun.

Shrub/Sweet Marias

Over the years I have found sweet marias and now more recently shrub really valuable resources for information on what is going on at origin and what interesting coffees are being roasted. While I have never met Chris Schooley, I think his descriptions of origin and cupping are great...very informed and detailed...

Here he is roasting on an electric probat sample roaster...
