Roasting up goodness

There is nothing better than a hot cup of perfectly roasted coffee in the morning. It is a refreshing, delicious way to start the day. Some nights right before I go to sleep I think in happy anticipation of the wonderful cup of coffee that will greet me in the morning. 
Coffee has a way to brighten up the day, and make everything seem fabulous. There are many ways to brew that perfect up of coffee, and everyone has a way that they think is the best. But few can argue about how to roast the perfect cup of coffee. One reason is that most people do not venture to roast their own. 

Being the frugal and adventurous person that I am, I decided to roast my own brew. The first time, I was extremely nervous that I would ruin the coffee, and personally I didn't know anyone who roasted their own coffee. At the time my pastor of my church was Ethiopian and I had heard through the grapevine about a coffee roasting ceremony that members of the church had attended. Everyone said, that it was the best coffee of their life. I thought if roasting coffee on an open fire created amazing coffee surely I could try to roast coffee on my stove. 

With that in mind, I attempted by first batch and it was terrific, I was able to create my own personal blend, bold, dark and warm. It was such a great feeling of accomplishment, and I was left with a terrific product! My very own, personally blended coffee to my exact specifications, and it was delish! . 

Roasting my own coffee, made me realize that you can make every day special and unique if you just take the time to stop and make the simple things special. 


Sending you love, and happiness this holiday season, and wishing that your every day will be special.
