Your personal experience

[administrator]

Dear members! I think you might find this topic unuseful since there is a whole article dedicated to this theme on our site www.coffee4dummies.com. However, I call upon to share your personal experience with us. Here you can give your ideas about roasting, grinding and brewing coffee beans; the perfect temperature, the right device, the method you use and so on. I'm eagerly waiting for your thoughts

Good morning everyone! I'm new to this forum and haven't even manage to introduce myself. Well, my name's Michael and I'm from Luxembourg. Coffee is one of the reasons I still enjoy this gloomy life (joke ). I prefer roasting beans on my own. My favorite level of roast is the medium dark color phase, though it depends on my mood if to be sincere. I also like blending - the beans which I blend are not of a similar roast which gives my final brew an excellent taste and aroma. I like experimenting with the roast and brew so that my cup of coffee has always something different, not resembling anything. I cannot give you the name of my coffee devices - these are simply "no names"appliances, so I cannot be of no use here. However, I think the main condition is a good quality beans and some experience - the only things that matter, imho.
Well, I've been a little talkative here but it really gave me a pleasure sharing my thoughts with you. Thanks for giving me this opportunity I'll be back

Nice post, Michael and I totally agree with you! I don't use any brand devices and am very satisfied with my equipment. I do prefer coffee prepared by me to any other coffee...

I like grinding the beans - it's one of my favorite occupations I like various levels of grinding and it gives me an enormous pleasure to see the result of my diligence

I would love to be able to roast my own beans, where do you get the beans from? I do like getting whole bean coffee and grinding it myself it just seems so much fresher. I love the smell when I grind them fresh too.
