    One that you might want to try...

    Get some el-cheapo South America beans. It does not matter if they are Columbian, Brazilian, whatever. Just get the cheapest South America beans you can find. (Africa beans don't work well with this one.)

    Then, just roast the shit out of them. Go well past the second crack. Roast them until the oils inside the beans start coming out and making them shiny. Then roast them some more. Roast them until the oils start to caramelize on the outside. Then just dump them onto a tray and let them sit for 12 hours.

    The coffee they make is naturally really sweet. I would not want them for a regular diet, but about once per month I do those and they are really good for a change of pace.

    Thanks for the cheap bean tip I can see the hunt for green beans is on. I still have those sites you buy from bookmarked somewhere round here.

    Doing a bigger batch tonight I want more smoke!!!! We going for dark dark dark this time. Hopefully I don't scorch it too bad.

    The mail-order beans from Costco are not too bad either.

    It looks great, and I will bet that Starbucks could not touch it for its flavor.

    The oils were increased from sitting overnight. Made a pot this morning it turned out perfect. Robust and still has a buzz.

    This was a fun project I expect to be doing this often.
