My Coffee Preferences

Before and After - Coffee Roasting

My brother has been buying green coffee beans and roasting his own recently. He gave me a couple links, and I thought about buying some green coffee beans of my own - but then I got bogged down in all the choices. How do I figure out which beans I want? Yes, I know, order several and try them, but I didn't. Instead I bought some whole bean organic coffee from the grocery store, and I'm really enjoying that. Also, just yesterday I received my trial shipment of Boca Java coffee. It's roasted when you order it, so it's almost as good as roasting my own, right? I had to choose four to try, but it wasn't quite as hard because there weren't as many to choose from.

Anyway, today I tried the Interactive Coffee Recommender from Caribou Coffee, so I tried it, and came up with:

Your Flavor Profile: Smoky & Robust

Your preference in marshmallows suggests that you like...
A darker roasted quality. Deep, smokey caramel and hints of syrupy-ness.

Your preference in fruit suggests that you like...
Smooth body, almost no snap and a lingering finish. And monkeys

Your preference in wine suggests that you like...
Fruity, pure flavors with a moderate body

Your preference in alcohol suggests that you like...
Sweet, round subtly spicy flavors. And pirates.



Maybe that will help. And I still need to find out if I use my popcorn popper to roast coffee, will I still be able to pop popcorn with it?

Coffee roasting! Where is he getting the beans, (meaning what region of the world) and what kind of beans (arabica or robusta)?

Here's his blog post about it - including links. It looks like he's trying different kinds of beans.

I'm guessing that's because I chose the banana and the rum.
