Roasting your own coffee beans - WOW! (Coffee)

(IMG: 490pixels) I used Sweet Maria's oven roasting method - Gas mark 9 (500 degrees) to roast the green beans for about 10 minutes - the roasted beans and grounded coffee came out looking roughly the same colour as store bought beans / ground coffee, but the taste! WOW! Soo smooth and divine, with LOTS of crema, when compared to store bought beans that tasted SO bitter. (Admittedly the store beans were a couple of weeks old).

Definitely a must try if you are setup with your own bean grinder and coffee maker then you absolutlely HAVE to try roasting your own coffee beans!
