The iRoast sounds vaguely geeky but if you say the coffee is better, I'll take your word for it.
That is another thing for me to look into. I had to put the homebrew biz on ice for a while, until our financial situation is settled and MrHP is gainfully and happily employed. I don't think the initial investment will be all that much (perhaps a couple hundred dollars, less if I shop wisely) but that is so friggin much money to a one income family with a housefull of rugrats, kwim.
MrHP woke up this morning uncharacteristically optimistic. He said, I have faith that I'm going to get a better job--I just know it!
He was almost jubilant when he said this. I was still half asleep and replied, Okaaaaaaaay. (picture a groggy response rather than sarcastic. The ok was drug out because I'm not good at speech before 7:30 a.m.)
So there ya go. Maybe someday soon I'll be joining you in the realm of CoffeeGeeks.
Just curious: Does your W enjoy the fresh roasting as well? I found that having a common interest, even something small like this, really helps to promote that feeling of solidarity. Like, WE are coffee geeks, instead of my hairy, bearded, horny husband is a coffee geek and I tolerate it.
I think I'll check out ebay for a coffee roaster and see what I can find. Although I just won an auction this morning for tinting gels. The kind where you tint black and white photographs. Yeah. I've never done this in my life and I betcha it will end up in the heap of things that I flit through in life, sure that this next thing will capture my interest for longer than a year or so. Oh well, I will surely get a few good pictures out of it so that is worth the 7.00 that I spent.
