Coffee talk

[Herkileez]

All this talk about drip, pour-over, Columbian, Arabica, Kona, etc is old news. Why?..because all the cool kids are now drinking "wild kopi luwak" coffee (the world's most expensive at $100+ for 4 oz), which is made from beans run thru a civet cat for extra "full-bodied" flavour. I tried my first cup, at a friend's yesterday, and have to ask: Could the next big thing be that no home coffee bar will be complete without our own civet cat to, well, you know.....
This what a home kit would consist of (Enterpreneurs might want to jump on this):


Personally though, I still prefer A&W drive-through (although I'm not all that refined)

Last winter I purchased some Mayorga Cafe Cubano (quite dark) to get through my non-roasting off season. I buy coffee on occasion when it’s too cold for outdoor roasting and also to calibrate my palate for when I go back to roasting my own.

I’m currently trying their Mayan Blend medium roast. It’s a right-down-the-middle crowd pleaser. I don’t taste anything wrong with it. It’s better than a lot of store bought beans. I would serve it to friends and family. It’s missing something that would make it unique. So nondescript, but in a good way?

What's your roasting setup? Guess I never remembered if you said. Do you not have a garage or something like that to roast in?

@Evan B I’m going into my eighth year of home roasting with an air popper. My current rig is the Poppo with an insert to keep the beans from launching.

I do have a garage but I like taking the winter off to try some commercially available coffees. My little air popper holds its own.
