Comments on: More Coffee http://hitesman.com/jason_blog/wordpress/2008/04/08/more-coffee/ The latest in a chain of attempts to keep friends and family updated about what I've been doing, just finished doing or am thinking about doing. Or at least what I want people to think I've done am doing or will be doing.

I've managed to slow down the roast somewhat since I posted that by using more beans and a chimney on the popper. It has made a big difference. Still working on this first batch of beans...but will be ordering some more soon and thinking I may make a few more advanced mods to the popper by then. Really need a better grinder and more than anything right now though. Thanks for the feedback.

You need to shoot for 10-12 minutes to mellow out the beans, which will also emphasize the low notes. Unfortunately without some modifications to your popper to limit its heating element you won't easily be able to accomplish this.

Hey, until a year or two ago the only Starbucks in Yuma was the one in the Barnes and Noble store!

I had to let it cool so it didn't smell like coffee much. Gave me a tummy ache and a righteous headache... More chocolate too. I had to let it cool so it didn’t smell like coffee much.
