I've been doing it for a bit as part of a side project to get off the ground here in Utah. Ramping up recently and selling locally! We will see how it goes etc. But I'm not here to shill my stuff but just to hear what people like.You roast your own beans?? Shit, that's hardcore.

I buy whole bean, usually a dark roast, grind them myself, and brew with a french press. This is what I've done for the last 8 years or so. I could probably go more hardcore, just not ready for that yet.
Today I am just sourcing through Coffee Shrub. Simple procedure and good options, and they are pretty helpful for a small time operation
Ah, I meant more along the lines of where your beans are from. Sumatra? Hawaii? Indonesia? Columbia? etc etc...
Dunkin's dark roast is actually pretty good.I like a nice mild roast and use a french press, but I'm all over the place on beans. Sometimes I just get whole bean Dunkin Donut beans and make that lol
I bought a kinda shitty cheap grinder a few years ago, back when I was only making coffee at my old apartment like once a month or so. I'd pretty much always drink it at work, or buy it somewhere, but then this year happened and we started making coffee almost every day from home. So it stopped working after a month or two. So I'm looking for a grinder recommendation so I can start buying beans from local shops again instead of pre-ground at the supermarket. Ideally small, preferably non-electric, the kitchen here is not huge and we're already always cycling toasters and stuff through the wall plugs, haha. And I originally got a French press for the same reason, which is still what we use, although it sucks to clean those fine grounds out of it :v I'll have to check out some other manual methods sometime...
Still holding out for the electric kettle of my dreams too. I keep hoping I'll see one at h-mart that's just what I want, but they all seem to be on the small side.
We just got a Baratza this summer and it's been amazing. Our Cuisinart electric grinder eventually gave up and we decided to splurge. Can vouch for it highly and it's easy to disassemble to clean.I got a Baratza Encore and it's really nice. It is electric, and it's tall but has a small footprint. It's easily adjustable to a wide variety of sizes, burr instead of blade, really easy to use. I got it refurbished, but it looks like they may not have any refurb stock right now D:
They've been taking off locally (NorCal) and it's been craze-worthy. Especially among teens/young adults. All my students are obsessed with the stuff. I've never had any, but it just seems like your typical coffees with tons of sweeteners.Anyone ever hear of Dutch Bros.?
Whats your prep method? We usually swap around late spring to cold brew, but it's been pour over for months now.Cold Brew
