Coffee stocks
As of today, we have Sumatra Mahndeling ( baker’s Chocolate, tobacco) , Guatemala Robusta ( caffiene-packed ) (cacao, roasted peanuts), both from Howell’s Fired Coffee, just roasted.
We are planning to roast coffees sourced from Genuine Origin ( a Volcafe subsidiary), Royal Coffees ( independent brokers ) and Sonofresco ( subsidiary of Coffee Holdings).
Comparing roasts
Your cub coffee reporter talkin’ ’bout coffee. Went to Scout Coffee in SLO picked up two packages of their coffee by HoneyCo Roasters. One 10 oz. Package of a Costa Rican Swiss Water Decaf and an Ethiopian light roast .
Great Coffee!
Other coffees I have sampled recently include coffees from Lanna Coffee Honey Artisan, Artisan, and French Roast.
Tried Tazz Coffee’s Tanzanian Peaberry, Maverick’s Roasting Company Tanzanian , Stumptown Roasters Indonesian and their “Mindbender”.
The coffees all taste like coffee. But when one waits for the last taste of each cup each cup tastes a bit different.
Outside Agitator Coffee
Our new brand of coffee Outside Agitator is still single – origin or limited blend coffee.

Advent is a Season
As a coffee roaster I probably should not talk about church or the Orthodox Christian seasons. Advent is a preparatory season before Christmas. Getting ready for Christmas involves prayer, meditation, maybe a day of fasting, and giving. I plan on roasting some beans and am planning a pour-over contest for the 23rd.
