So you can say "this blend has been in my family for years".

Re: Diedrich Infra Red 3kg Roaster

Thanks Shannon.

My Mum turned 90 last Thursday. She is one of 10 girls, 5 of whom are still alive - 80, 84, 90, 92 and 94 respectively. The 80yo sister flew over from Italy with her 85yo husband so that they could be with Mum on her birthday. The whole family got together today. It was a real hoot as they are a lively, funny, and generous bunch of people.

When Mum was in her early 20s she worked for a coffee roaster in Alexandria, where she met my Dad, before emigrating to AU. Dad was a backyard coffee roaster and I have vivid memories of him using a type of bbq/spit contraption to roast beans.

He left some notes...profiles and blends that I have been trying to recreate with various success. Im hoping "Dads Blend" and one or two others will be a hit!
