Ed, Ed, Ed ... A link to Sweet Maria's, plus links to Homeroasters.org, and a link to "The Truth About Coffee" on WebMD ... we were all set to award you three times as many CSA points. HOWEVER! Two clicks later and I end up reading the following quotes! "I purchased Folgers 100% Columbian coffee and LOVE IT. It's shown as med-dark and boy is it strong. I love it. If there is a thread already covering this topic, please show me to it! If not, what kind of coffee do you prefer?" and "I like a really dark roast coffee. Our coffee vendor brought some samples on Friday and I am in love with this Cafe Sumba blend they have! It is fantastic! It doesn't have that bitter taste dark coffee tends to have. I usually buy the Kroger or Walmart brand Italian roast." and "I buy the Starbucks Verona Blend. I don't love it, but I am too cheap to get more expensive beans." You have go to get the word out over there ... We will have to take this request for CSA points before committee.

I'm tryin', but the tide is swift. :g: |
Yeah, but Ed does what he can. And since Ed was around the home roasting scene about the time Kaldi's goats first discovered the secret bean, and as someone who goes to such mod' extremes like thishttp://www.homeroaster.com/supermod.htmlEd can have any CSA points he claims. However Ed is awarded zero points, he didn't claim them, he asked for them:-) Pacific Northwest Gathering VIhttp://home.comcast.net/~mckona/PNWGVI.htmKona Kurmudgeon miKe mcKoffee www.mcKonaKoffee.com URL to Rosto mods, FrankenFormer, some recipes etc:http://www.mckoffee.com/Ultimately the quest for Koffee Nirvana is a solitary path.

How can we turn in CSA points for beans to roast? Now there's an opportunity for advancement! Like merit badges in scouts. You get points for roasting coffee over a campfire, building your own roaster, putting together a successful espresso blend from homeroast, converting someone to homeroasting, supplying the office with homeroast, swearing off restaurant/office/supermarket coffee, etc... ********************* Ed Needham "to absurdity and beyond!"http://www.homeroaster.com********************* |
Man, you guys are really strict! Give the guy a break, huh? As he claims = and you say, the man IS trying! DJ Awake but by the miracle of four triple-shots of Yirgacheffe this day / night and ready to crash |
"...swearing off restaurant/office/supermarket coffee, etc..." Oh, Blazes! You mean I get nothing for colorful expletives directed 'at' the above-mentioned swill? -ro On 9/24/07, Homeroaster wrote: <Snip> -- "When the theme hits the bass, I dance the Jig!" - -Virgil Fox at the Mighty Wichita (ex- NYC Paramount) WurliTzer- 1976 |
