I roast my own too. Get coffee better than the best coffee bars. Much more expensive than regular coffee but much cheaper than the gourmet stuff sold at 'bucks, Peet's etc. it's a fun hobby
Any hard core coffee drinkers?

If coffee prices are going to double I may just start dropping a couple Vivarin in my hot cocoa or I'll stick with tea. I actually don't need coffee in the morning. A 5-mile run followed by a cold shower wakes me up just fine. I have coffee only evey couple days, usually in the afternoon.
I can't. Ours went in to the Hahbah years ago.
Should have given you some when you picked up the motul.
On your list is that before or after not understanding how they sell phones for 1k when they cost $50 to make

A quality hard bean which has little chaff. Hardly any debris in the burr grinder chamber. Always uber fresh

First you need good coffee. Folger's MH and store brands aint it
It makes all the difference in the world .
Although , that " climate change " thing might be an issue down the road ...Thanks, I don't drink alcohol so I built an espresso bar. I'm also a collector of espresso machines, so I rotate them. Pictured is my wife's Keurig machine, which we returned to Costco because the brew was only lukewarm and my Grimac Terry ESE machine with Trucillo pods.Something tells me you are into more then just coffee
Nice set up

Parents had a few espresso machines over the years, so I assume it was good, at least the smell was fine. Never got over the taste after one sip.
I didn't start drinking espresso until I was in my 20's. I agree, the smell has always been amazing.
My parents were of the mind to train us early to drink coffee. At first, it was mostly milk, and a little coffee mixed in. Slowly the amount of milk was reduced to allow a proper cup. And in high school, they introduced us to Turkish coffee - no sugar. Just like drinking hard liquor, there is a learning curve involved.

Exactly,
You start a newborn baby on straight milk. Every year you introduce one ounce of coffee. By their teen years they are off to school in their IROC Z28 with a 16oz coffee and a guns and roses cassette tape. Murica!
Good thing I'm heading back to the office, with free coffee...... I'm 3 cups at home 5 cups at work kind of guy, first cup is regular and the rest decafe. I'm doing it for taste not caffeine.
I'm ok with almost anything as long as it is arabica and Latin American or African beans, I am not into Java / Sumatra / etc.

This is what I’ve been drinking for years, along with Dunkin Donuts Original. Both consistently available in whole bean at Walmart for a reasonable price.
About as good as you can get for grocery store coffee.
Are the 8 o'clock beans oily?
I'm guessing the bag does not show "roasted on" date?
