Home-roasting coffee is a passion for me. It has been said that I love to roast coffee even more than I love consuming the exquisite elixir, regardless of brewing method. Brewing / cupping coffee and writing that which is evoked is fun.

Most of the roasting is done these days with an RK Drum, but the following are also at the ready: various poppers, Zach & Dani's (now Nesco), Gene Cafe, Hottop Analog and a Behmor 1600.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
