I checked out Sweet Marie’s sight. Thank you. She has a stopper for my Chemix. Price of beans seem below what I see for most.
I think it has to do with trust. I’ve used The Captain’s Coffee for about eight years now, and trust him. But how do you know what you’re getting? I think if someone has been selling green beans for more than ten years they must be reputable, plus has some leverage in the coffee bean market whereby they can get the best.
I notice a lot of people making fun of those posting who have a little money spent on a brewer that brews uniformly to 195 degrees, and take the time to roast the beans. I have a small air roaster that works great, I just haven’t experimented enough to know what works best for each bean so I end up roasting all of them about ten seconds into the second crack.
Green beans are like unfermented wine grapes. ONce you roast them each one is different esp if you drink your coffee black. I havn’t purchased starbucks etc for years now, so I think I’ve more than paid for my little set up, which is pretty simple actually.
