If my profile pic wasn’t holding a beer, it’d be a cup of coffee. Fresh pot every morning. Been loving the Starbucks Sumatra for a lot of years now. Part of the wakeup process.

PapaSop Sumatra is one of my favorites. Picked up 2-1lb bags a week ago in the clearance bin for $5.99 @bag. I felt like I stole them!

every morning starts with coffee and food , grits and hominy no !

zbigjeff - Shrimp and grits with maybe a little cheese is my happy place.
@bmartin1000 We live in the same house.

Grimpuppy Because you buy coffee from the store, if you roast your own its so much better
johnsbrewhouse I agree on it’s where you buy it and how it’s stored. But, roasting your own is at another level which I only do when it’s decent weather outside. Don’t have a place where the ambient temp allows the coffee to roast to first crack when the outside temp is below 50. Yep, I did it in the house and not ever again. I do have a source that roasts my Tanzanian Peaberry beans are roasted and bagged for me fresh. I bring them home and place them in vacuum packed jars. I do understand that coffee is not for everyone. That’s why there’s all sorts of “other” items.

craigrice We eat grits at least once a week here for breakfast, but I can’t convince my wife to eat them any other way. She also told me she doesn’t care for hominy, told her grits are made from hominy and made her look at the box.

my wife likes the yellow hominy

zbigjeff I still roast mine in the house, mine is a smokeless roaster by Nesco, they quit making them. The next one will be one that can be exhausted out the window via ducting. I only roast Kona beans, but I had a cheap source and have several green pounds vacuum sealed.

johnsbrewhouse Mine is anything but smokeless. I smelled like a cup of coffee everywhere I went for a week. LOL Wish I could find another smokeless one that didn’t cost hundreds of dollars.

zbigjeff I think mine was $159 when I bought it four years ago, it was the replacement for the one I used up. The house does smell like roasting coffee and sometimes like brownies as the wife says, she hates coffee unless it slip to her hidden in some other product.

johnsbrewhouse But, I thought you said it’s no longer available. That’s why I didn’t even research.

Dr_Pain I would rather eat the can! However, out of the garden, the freezer or pickled is a whole other matter.

We are in complete synch on that. Spicy pickled green beans in a solid Bloody Mary… yum!

For the grits haters I would dare say that Zea’s roasted corn grits would change your mind. I may have to share the recipe one day (my tweak of them)

zbigjeff It’s not , Nesco decided to quit making for some reason two years ago. I was going to buy another one for a spare. The ones I have been lookin at are getting spendy now. Check these guys out on roasters, I bought my Nesco’s from them and used to buy green beans from them, they have excellent service. https://burmancoffee.com/compare-home-coffee-roasters/

johnsbrewhouse Just visited their site and all required venting. On to the hunt on that world wide web.

Dr_Pain grits are so versatile, but hands down the best grit dish I’ve ever had was Shrimp and Grits at a small local restaurant on Hilton Head, SC. I believe the name of the restaurant was “A Low Country Backyard”. Having both parents from the south I’ve always had grits, but a good shrimp and grits are hard to beat in MHO. Post that recipe when you have a chance. Im always looking for that new favorite.

zbigjeff Supposedly, they are going to bring back the Nesco model I have since Nesco just recalled all the newest models they just sold. We’ll see, my roaster just works so well I would hate to change.
