These, thanks to Remmy! Looking forward to drinking 1 now, and putting the rest up to set a spell.
8 pounds of green coffee beans. I roast my own coffee along with now brewing my own beer
I buy my green beans buy the 50# sack.
No better way to go, than roasting yer own!

I prefer 2# bags and get a variety of beans . I go through a pound a week so buy a couple of months of beans. This is what I just received:
Peru Puno -Flora Mamani Pinto Microlot
El Salvador Finca Matalapa Bourbon
Colombia Huila - Pitalito Microlot
Guatemala Huehuetenango
And you're right, there is no better way to go!!!
We tried all kinds of different beans when I first started to roast.
I would never tell Mrs. Bob what is was until she drank and commented on the flavor. She would rated them, usually good or not bad.
Then she started to say, "That's really good!", or, "That's damned good!". Both ways it turned out to be Java Estate, every time. So that is our main coffee. We have been known to order other types but not often.
Never really had any bad kinds except for Ethiopian, never could find a way to roast it that wasn't terrible to us.

Where do you get your java estate coffee? Their website only sells to other businesses!
My 25 gallon SS BK that I got from this link at Homebrewfinds. or thought I did. Apparently somehow I got the BK instead of the MLT, but I wasn't really going to use it for a MLT anyway (no false bottom, paid the same, remember the BK supposed to be more expensive, oh well. Besides amazon says I bought the BK so that must be what I bought). Came looking like it got whanged a bit in transit. How whiny should I be?
2 matching dents in the side, one in the lip, one in the lid, and the kettle is not round anymore, so the lid slides around, but it still covers the open area.
Since it just arrived today I will let you all decide if I should accept it as is or inquire through amazon about replacement/whatever. This is a large pot though, seriously dwarfs my 15 gallon. I can almost climb into it.

Had to buy something to meet the free shipping threshold on Amazon, so why not books!
I'd call then it send back. Maybe if they put "fragile: don't play soccer with this" you might have better luck the next time.
Whellp, called up amazon, and since they shipped it for a third party seller, they can only allow me to return it, and then order a new one at full price now. Seeing as it now costs 60% more than it did when I ordered it, I get to settle for a partial refund and a blemished pot that I get to hammer out since it will still hold liquid. It does look like they played forklift soccer with it as there is a hole in both layers of boxes that look like a fork lift stabbed it twice and many other tears and dings.
Oh well. I am going to break it in this weekend (I hope) and it should still make beer. Nothing against the seller, poop just happens. But man, that is a huge freaking pot.
Not to hijack, but how do you roast them?
New purple thermopop. Even included complimentary jelly beans
We bought a coffee roaster from morebeer, it works well enough that Mrs. Bob handles all angles of the coffee.
Use to roast in a few different rigs that were homemade, but then I had to do all the roasting. And those all had to be done outside.
That is what we use.

I didn't get mine today.
