A True Home-Schooled Family...

My wife has said for years that we are not really a home-schooling family until we have a home business that the whole family participates in.  Well today we have officially become a home-schooling family because more than half of the family was participating in the coffee roasting process.

I finally got over my control freakishness and asked my lovely wife and daughter to help with the grinding, weighing, and bagging process.  There they are smiling for the camera as they work together weighing and bagging some Colombian 58.  Then they are grinding some Indian Monsooned Malabar in the photo to the right.  It was more than nice to be left free to work on some of the packaging while they managed the shop.

I've been asked what the secret to my success has been and I usually reply "I will tell you when I am successful".  Today, as I look at these pictures I think I have an answer to that question.

Customer Words of the Colombian 58

I have created a signature coffee roast that I have named Colombian 58 - people really seem to like it.  


My grandma likes it - she told me so this morning - but since grandma's can be biased where their grandsons are concerned (and the fact that she gets FREE coffee) I figured I should add some other non-biased customer reviews of the Colombian 58.

This Colombian is a “58” roasting profile which has taken this coffee to a new level of experience.  It is just raw enough to retain a good amount of the all-natural God given flavor of the bean (as well as the majority of the caffeine) but it is also roasted with enough heat to let you know that you are drinking a very fine coffee.  From the moment the coffee touches your palette you think that you are going to experience the bitter but then you are pleasantly veered to the side as the bitter never materializes.  All you experience is a smooth flavor with an even smoother finish.
