How do you do? My name is Paul. My wife and I have 2 coffee shops in the Colorado Springs area. She's the coffee drinker; I'm the roaster. Been doing this for about 5 years. We have two roasters, an IR-3 and IR-12. Coffee roasting is where I'll spend most of my time. I look forward to reading and posting.

Hi, I'm Verna, I just signed up after I've run through this forum while searching for some coffee stuff. I'm from the Philippines and I just took over my family's coffee farm, I'm still getting a grip on how 'coffee life' is.. I hope I learn a lot from here
Welcome new members. Verna, do you have more info about your family's farm to share ? How many trees are there? What is the elevation? Are the trees grown under shade trees? Do you sell the cherry or perform all aspects of processing? If so, what style of processing?
Very exciting to find more farmers here on the forum as I too am interested in cultivating coffee.
Sorry, I don't know much about coffee roasters. I know they have open coffee roasters and enclosed coffee roasters. Our local roaster, who now out of business, used an open roaster with a blade sticking out to turn the coffee over.
Have you tried a Moka Pot? It's an affordable stovetop coffeemaker that brews coffee that's very close to espresso. I received one as a gift for Christmas last year and was so impressed I've started to sell them. They're awesome!
If you have any questions about Moka Pots, I'd be happy to help out!
JoyceKaa - I'd love to hear more about your coffee farm. I love to work in my little home garden, but I don't think you can grow coffee beans where I live.
