Cool it's been quit a while since I looked, last I knew there stock was depleted and they weren't able to get anymore. The only other place I could find them at the time was a place in Hawaii called Coffee Bean Corral

I'm a bit late, but I was looking at the "problem foods" for a "supertaster" and the foods on the acquired tastes list and they're remarkably similar

Default Keurig B70?

Anyone purchased the Keurig single cup drip makers? My parents were sporting the B70 at Thanksgiving and I enjoyed the convenience of it and the coffee was good too. I tried both the K-cups and using my own grind in an adapter. I preferred a fine grind for stronger results.

I think all of you coffee snobs are crazy .

Here's what I use.


And you know what? I use the burnt Kirkland Signature coffee beans from Costco and grind them up to insane fine powder and try to get the most caffeine I can possibly get.

Here's my latest coffee geek acquisition:



It's a Behmor 1600 roaster.

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but so far I love it!

It'll do up to a pound at a time, but I pretty much restrict myself to 1/2# roasts. It does a great job and there very little smoke. I haven't set off my smoke detector once!

My wife likes flavored roasts. Not added syrup but some of the coffee roasters add hazelnuts or other flavor enhancing materials into the roast to flavor the beans. Can you do this with a home roaster?

cool! very cool indeed. i've been using my iroast2 for almost two years now and have been surprised that it's actually lasted this long...i secretly hope that it kicks the bucket soon so that i can invest in a new roaster. the behmor is one on my list...as well as some other drum roasters.

I wasn't aware of anyone flavoring their roasts that way, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

I would be a bit concerned about putting things that could catch fire into a roaster though... roasters I know of operate at some fairly high temps.

I suppose that with some judicious experimentation you could find out whether it's feasable or not without doing too much damage...

It's gonna be hard to beat the Behmor, especially at $299! Most of the vendors I know of are also throwing in a bunch of beans and free shipping too...

I started out with a FreshRoast just a couple of months ago, I was amazed at how much better coffee is when its roasted fresh!

The flavouring is added after the coffee is roasted. You can buy bottles of the stuff online: example
