[Spridgets] coffee*

[Gregory Groiss]

David,

I also roast my own coffee (for drip and espresso).  Where are you
buying your greens?  I've been buying from Sweet Maria's because they
have a very nice selection and I really like some of their espresso
blends.  I started out roasting with a stainless steel dog bowl and a
heat gun (it really works).  I now have a Behmor 1600 roaster that I
love.

Happy roasting,

Greg
