Artigiano in Vancouver has some.

I know the Swedish barista championship winner did a drink with fresh pomegranate. It was served in a tall drink glass filled with crushed ice, i think 2 oz espresso and the same portion of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, and then topped off with all fresh pomegranates. Of course - this is...

I think specialty gourmet coffee will slightly decline, but non-specialty standard coffee will probably grow. Just like McDonald's sales increase during this period, coffee is considered a staple.

So a BBQ drum roaster can be used in the home? I live in the cold of CT, so outdoors isn't an option. Any model you suggest?

Okay can I ask a follow up question? I'd like to roast and sell from home but on a very small scale. Specifically, just to friends and family with the max goal of 100 pounds per month. Realistically simply 20 or 30 pounds per month for the next few months. I'm not looking at opening a large...

By "old maids" you are referring to the coffee bean husks, or chaff?

First off - you are a total dork - and I wish I had the foresight or intelligence to be as dorky. You will go far in your coffee career, I'm sure. Secondly - nice job. I'm resorting to the traditional pan roast. I have no air flow control as you've done. I also think it's a great idea for you...
