starbucks burns their coffee to keep better on the shelf. most of their copffee is roasted/burned weeks or even a few months in advance and shipped out. I would love to find a cofeee place that roasted on site.
STORY
- Once, about 10 years ago, my grandmother and an aunt and uncle came to visit us from Puerto Rico. My grandma brought over a big bag of green un-roasted puerto rican cofeee beans. She used a giant aluminum cooking pot and our outdoor propane grill to roast the beans and OH fuck did they smell fantastric. it took her some time but she roasted them to a nice deep brown and then we ground them and made coffee and HOLY fuck the coffe was SWEET and dlicious without adding any sugar at all! I love my shit with sugar but the fresh rioasted and brewed cofee was so fucking flavorful...
