so….
roast and seal, and
then wait how long
before grinding?
i might roast/seal Day One
then Day 44, company comes.
yes, i realize this gets kind of picky,
but your posts have educated me more
than Wikipedia/Youtube/etc.
If they don’t know any better, than 44 days is what it is
Too long, IMO.

I used to roast my own coffee every once a week using frying pan, until family take my weekend time.
It started at 2012 when I got 1 kg green bean from a quiz.
It was wonderful experience and I will definitely do that again if any chance (time!) is given. My dream is to buy a micro coffee roaster.
For now, I buy small packs of roasted beans from local roasteries every 2 or 4 weeks.
COFFEE
Less a science than a religion for most.
But actually is is SCIENCE.
And the facts just say, the coffee you like is the good coffee.
I roast coffee beans now and then, when I’m in Laos. And definitely this is the best coffee in the world, for me, but that does not mean everybody else makes it wrong.
As said, the coffe you like is the good coffe.
No religion
No myth
No pricy shittery (cat shite coffee, forgot it’s name)
No pricy stuff sold by a hyperactive playing Jobs in a cringey manner
Have a good cup and enjoy**.**
Has one of you tried the coffee cherries as they come from the bush?
The sweet juiciness?
The bean inside, that splits in two, an incredibly complex taste?
You can actually make a drink from this!
People use it’s effects for medicine since beginning of time.
If I read here
then I must think that there is something wrong with the green beans you can buy in those sealed plastic bags.
Well that’s true. This whole track wasn’t to delegitimize existing coffee as its presented, but merely to expand awareness. I am still enjoying my “dead coffee,” but yeah… just a tinge bit less knowing it could be much better than it is. And I am going to get into roasting my own coffee beans. Started reading reviews for green coffee beans on Amazon and it looks like there’s some good candidates. Now I just have to watch more videos on roasting with low cost methods that achieve the same as the pricer ones (but just less pizzaz and convenience).
I imagine it doesn’t taste much at all like coffee beans that have been roasted. But perhaps it’s still a good taste in its own right, or something you can acclimate to liking, like Kombucha.
Do you ever find that sometimes 1 cup is just not enough, but 2 is too much? i would like to cut back a little bit so i don’t have to roast so many beans,
thanks, folks.
here is what i will try:
1. buy roasted and ground beans and then seal them in a glass Mason jar at room temperature.
2. buy roasted/ground//Mason/and freeze.
3. buy Maxwell House in the can.
when visitors arrive, they will have their choice.
i do not expect any coffee drinkers this month.
Blecch. Mum used to get MH, and I always hated making/having coffee there. It was like coffee-scented sawdust.
When it has to be a quick cup of good coffee, I make Bei & Nannini Miscela Colomba in a manually tuned Bialetti.
Some of the religious fanatics my now scream heresy, but I like it like that.
All the house smells like coffee, the cup has a wonderful profumo, and the not too hot black juice of life is pure salaciousness.
Take out religion, add sensuality and sensibility.
LOL!
It’s a cup of caffeinated liquid, it’s not a blow up doll!
I try not to fret too much, but I do have a minor routine that I follow.
Chris
Blow up doll? What?
ROTFL
No. I’m just a coffee addict.
i agree with flashburn:
“…the cup has a wonderful profumo…”
actually, i like the smell of brewed coffee
and pipe tobacco, but i do not smoke, either.
I love the smell of coffee! 
I don't like the taste of coffee, but I do love the taste of cappuccino.
I don't like all the caffeine of cappuccino, but the flavor is amazing. 
Maybe ’cause I haven’t had my coffee yet, but that made me very… confused.
My post?
It's simple.
I like the smell of coffee, but I don't like the taste of coffee. 
There isn’t one taste of coffee. There’s coffee that tastes like cherries, even blueberries, for instance. (anaerobic process)
To clarify, I have found that every type of coffee that I have tasted has been repulsive.
Meanwhile, most cappuccino I have tried has been absolutely delicious.
In other words, I have tasted enough types of coffee to know that it isn't for me, no matter how good is smells.
You can say that I haven't tasted every type of coffee on Earth, but I also haven't smelled every type of dog poop, yet I know that dog poop isn't for me either.
For me, it’s sugar, ½&½, and a half-capful of vanilla extract.
