Here's how I've been roasting my coffee (click on photo for link to one of the best sources for Green beans : Sweet Maria's!)

Really, home roast is the best. Then I use a French Press for the amazing flavor.

I got some beans from Sweet Maria's, too. I roasted and had the whole setup: Rancillo Rocky grinder and Silvia Espresso machine.

I fussed and fussed...and spent a lot of money but never felt that I achieved a result to justify it all. (I stopped just short of fitting a PID controller to my Silvia for precise temperature control...these coffee-obsessed people are true lunatics!)

But I have now decided that my best "espresso," or coffee for any purpose, has been produced from an 11 oz bag of preground JFG prepared by the the 11-hour method which I described a few posts above.
