Coffee Bean Roasting!

As mentioned in the last post, I signed up for the Reddit Secret Santa gift exchange. I got green coffee beans as a result. Today, I made my first attempt at roasting them. I have documented the process photographically on flickr. Go look!

I have not ground the beans up yet, and brewed them, as my crappy blade grinder has vanished. This actually happened a long time ago, and I have no idea where it is. Time for a new burr grinder anyways!

And, I think I need to invest in a lot of other expensive coffee brewing equipment. Thinking about it, I've noticed I'm picking up some rather expensive hobbies. Coffee itself is looking to be fairly expensive, at least to get the equipment to do what I want. Beer brewing is in the same category. The actual brewing (and roasting) parts are fairly cheap. Rocketry though, well, thats not cheap no way you put it. Ah well, all in the name of having fun, getting drunk, and playing with explosives. Good times to be had by all.

I'll report back tomorrow on the results of this first batch of beans. I hear I'm in for a surprise.
