FYI....I had to do an errand before work, so I stopped at Starbucks for coffee and breakfast on my way into work. They are selling their bags of coffee for 25% off right now (everything but their Reserve Blends).

After reading this thread, I ordered a sampler pack from BRCC, and so far have been drinking the Just black at home and the AK-47 at work. They are a heck of a lot better than the Foldgers we have been drinking for I don't know how many years. No bitter after taste, which I hadn't realized before. I have had almost a full pot of the AK-47 this morning since 0400 and am feeling pretty good.
Just got done roasting 35lbs of green beans on this bad boy.
30lbs for the shop I was roasting for and 5lbs of my own beans for home. Looking forward to fresh coffee tomorrow.![]()
Having been in a coffee roasting shop for several hours during a cable install, that is one of the worst smells to be around for an extended period of time. IMO
Here in COS there is a local roaster called Purple Mountain, which is good. I got a Rancilio Silvia for Chrisrmas and have been using Red Stallion espresso from the R&R Cafe in Black Forest. I like to support local biz.
I’m an espresso guy (PID’d Silvia), but I also use an aeropress in the office. Grinding fresh is much more important to me than the specific bean or roast.
If a good grinder is on-hand, Huckleberry roasters in Denver is currently my favorite local bean source. Their Phantom Limb offering is fantastic for espresso; a medium roast, and fruit-forward. Huge fan and a nice switchup from the typical super dark roasts people like for espresso. The rest of their offerings are likewise excellent.
Incidentally... Anyone wanna split 5 lbs of Josuma Malabar Gold?
