Coffee Beans after hours...

[lilmeh]

I had a pretty big problem today - it was 6:37pm, I just got a new grinder to test, and since Ive been handicapped equipment wise, Ive got no beans. Now what?

This is becoming an ongoing issue with working full-time (readvertime) all the time...

I think its time to set up home roasting! Its easy and in around 20 minutes from start to finish, you will have freshly roasted beans!

Re: Coffee Beans after hours...

speaking of freshly roasted beans, can someone tell me why we should wait 24-48 hours after roasting for the to de-gas? and is it imperative to do so?

lilmeh, i have to say i agree with artman, get into home roasting, i have literally just started doing it and already i can see the benefits of doing it, also its fun and enjoyable.

If I want to grind on the same day, I leave them out. If I am grinding the next day, or two days later, I degass for 8-10 hrs in an open jar or container. NO LONGER. Then seal them up. Otherwise if I am roasting to grind a week later, I bag immediately.

Or you could buy online from a site sponsor.
Good beans there to be had, home delivered, and ordered anytime.

I was mostly ordering through site sponsor Di Bella until I started home roasting. Provided I order by 9am, its roasted that day and usually shipped in the afternoon. I frequently get my beans the next day, although they do still need a de-gas period.

Most need about 7 to 10 days before theyre settled enough to enjoy.

Ordered is not the same as having :P
