roast your own

I'm considering roasting my own beans at home. If you're interested in how the process works, check out www.burmancoffee.com.

Honduras coffee

Hondurans know what they are doing when it comes to roasting beans and producing a fine coffee. Very rich in taste and full of traditional coffee flavor, lightly acidic and medium bodied. A fine drinking coffee. This is a definite repeat purchase.

Packer Blend

When in Green Bay, drink as the Packers do, or at least I'm led to believe. I picked up this tasty breakfast blend from La Java. Unlike the actual Packers, this coffee is smooth, doesn't leave a nasty aftertaste in your mouth, and is good to the end.

I'll be leaving later this year for my comedy tour.

my apologies

to those criticizing the lack of postings lately. I've built up quite a stockpile of beans and must work my way through them. I've learned my lesson. No more 1 pound bags...Nope, only half pound bags for me. I'll be able to turn and burn more inventory that way. Take care and good luck finding your way to the bottom of a great cup of coffee.
