The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Are there any other home-roasters in the community? I live in an area where the commercially available coffee tends to be pre-ground and stale. Over the years, I've started roasting my own coffee. Feel free to chime in to this post if you do the same or if you're curious about it and we can compare notes on technique!

That's the trick! Learn what not to do until you find something that works. I always use the same rack height, the same temperature setting, and the same baking pan. It took a lot of small ruined batches to find a good setup. I use an oven as well.
