The Beaning Of Life


A journey of coffee

new blend soon

I strolled in to my local roastery where I buy my green beans to buy some MORE. Only to find they are all out of two of my fave beans, WHAT!?

Testing the knowledge of the master roaster, I asked for suitable equiv beans, as close as he could.

So this weekend the roasting continues, with new beans, some experimenting ahead!

I'll report back soon

Budget coffee roasting #1

Did you know that you can roast fresh coffee in a popcorn popper!? Yeah, like the one sitting in the back of your kitchen cupboard or the ones you can buy a kmart or bigw. In 5-10 mins you can have freshly roasted coffee, and it's easy!

Every method has it's pros and cons. For me, this method seems great, there are plenty of pros, mainly the low cost. The biggest con? Probably the batch size. But if you can roast regularly, it's all good. Check out some more info and videos at sweet marias: http://www.sweetmarias.com/airpop/airpopmethod.php

SLAB blend

The "somewhat like a boss" blend, from The Beaning of Life.

A 'city' roast of Bolivia, Brazil and El Salvador, lovely strong earthy flavours that cut right through milk, also delightful as espresso. With the 'brazil' roasted separate, slowly and gently, adding a striking caramalised sugar and honey flavour with low acidity and full body to the already smooth flavours of El Salvador and Bolivia.

This is a coffee blend you can drink any time of the day. The taste left in your mouth will having you wanting more!
