If forced to choose a vice....might I suggest caffeine???

[HKShooter65]

I've just rediscovered one of my (many) forgotten hobbies.

I've started re-using one of my (many) dusty kitchen appliance gadgets.

Anybody here roast their own coffee beans?

I ordered the 8 pound sampler of raw green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's.
If this sounds uppity be mindful that the beans were less that $5 a pound so it's actually frugal.
The roaster cost me less than half the price of a decent Ruger 10/22.

Ya!

Liquid candy with a bit of sweetened condensed milk added.
A Vietnamese buddy knows the right way to do it and had offered to teach me. I should!

When I first started Sweeetmarias.com tossed in a free hot air popper with an 8 pound sampler.
A more involved labor of love watching it and having the wife fuss about the chaff blowing about.
Works darn well.

It’s super easy

And it also explains why my mom seemingly never slept when I was growing up ...she drank those all day long LOL

I love coffee and drink it all day long, but never got into roasting and grinding my own beans.

These days, making a cup in the Keurig is just too easy.

Aint nothing to it really. The biggest thing is buying the coffee & sweetened condensed milk in a Vietnamese Market where is cheaper. The individual coffee steepers make it easier too.

Yes.

And the little re-usable Keurig cups allow the use of an infinite variety of coffees of your choosing like my home-roast stuff.

I used to be into all kinds of gourmet coffees and still dabble, but when I bought my first Nespresso Verturo machine it changed everything. The coffees in that proprietary line are some of the best I have ever had and the machine puts a small head of foam on each cup. Each aluminum pod has a mini bar code that tells the machine how much water to add...from a small espresso to a 12 oz cup. Pretty amazing! I still drink brewed coffee from my Bunn and Kuerig, but each night before I sit down for my two hours of television viewing, I have a Nespresso and feel like Danny Devito in the commercial with George Clooney.

I started developing migraines a few years ago.

Neurologist said caffeine was a common trigger.

Stopped drinking coffee for a few months.
Mornings were not easy.
Still got migraines.

So I’m back to drinking coffee LOL

A local restaurant sells what they call Rocket Fuel.
- coffee
- MCT powder
- ghee butter
- coconut oil
- maple syrup
It’s now my go-to morning beverage, I make it at home
