How much do you like coffee?

Those of you who know me will agree, I like coffee. And interestingly enough, so do the people at my new church.

During my first week here at New Life, I was invited over for dinner to meet with Kris and Karen, the pastor’s kids, and Doug and Patty. It came to the part of the meal where the Coffee was put on, and this led to a discussion about coffee.
One thing led to another, and we started talking about roasting your own coffee! Now, this may seem new to some of you, but I was introduced to roasting by my Friend mike. And let me tell you, it is superb! All you need is a Air Popcorn Popper, and Green coffee beans. The result is that you end up with the freshest coffee you have ever tasted.
This sparked some interest with my dinning companions, and on Sunday, Doug came up to me with a small package of green coffee beans.

So here is the real story. Yesterday, I roasted my own coffee beans! This was a first, I have helped mike roast coffee. But never on my own. And it was quite an experience. One of the daycare workers in the church thought that there was a fire in the building! (although, I was roasting outside) Anyways, by happenstance, I roasted a magnificent dark roast. I call it the evening roast, it comes from a Peru Organic Bean.
