Thanks Larry, 8 pounds plus what's in my canister means I should be good until about Tuesday, although I am going to the market later to grab a few Thanksgiving Dinner essentials so I'll grab another 3 pounder of the Columbian

@JimBear sent me 3 bags of top notch small batch coffee in a care package recently, and I just finished off the first one

The other 2 bags are in front

The first bag was lovely and I am looking forward to sharing the rest with family and friends over the holidays

Did I mention I am fond of coffee?

Hows you and your better half?

Glad you liked the Amphibious Assault, it has been my favorite so far.

It was amazing coffee

When I am feeling like paying for a premium small batch coffee like the ones you sent I generally like blends like Amphibious Assault over single source coffees and this one was no exception

Just an excellent coffee

Thanks again my friend

I have pan roasted beans in the past with really inconsistent results and threatened to buy a home size roaster but never pulled the trigger

I haven't approached any of the local roasters about buying bulk green beans but getting them shipped in doesn't save me much if any money when shipping is factored in

The Kirkland Columbian is very nice and very consistent and easy to come by without even going into Anchorage to Costco

Plus my daughter usually grabs me a bag when she makes her Costco runs

There is a small roaster down in Homer where I always stop and see what's fresh and pick up a few pounds for variety

Alaska actually has a LOT of small roasters that turn out some amazing coffees but generally a 12 oz bag costs as much or more than the 3 lb bag from Kirkland

They have to make a profit but I am not putting their kids through college
My wife bought a cheap roaster which made roasting much easier. I used to pan roast and had a hard time getting an even roast. You lose quite a bit of weight when roasting also, 5# of beans makes 3-4# of coffee. I love coffee, and want to be sure I can always get some. My biggest fear isn't a zombie Apocalypse, it is a zombie Apocalypse with no coffee.

Tired. We just got home from a sweat lodge. It was a hot one....melted my ears.

I'm the youngest guy, so between rounds I get out to get more rocks, water, whatever. 130° in the lodge, 35° outside. Nothing on but a pair of wet shorts.....

Sorta sucks the life right out of a mfer. LOL
