Cafe Goa and Big Roy

MilwaukeeMike gives great advice! I only buy green beans now, I have a small roaster, but tend to roast all my beans in a stainless steel dog bowl with a heat gun (yes the kind you use to take wallpaper off with and such) and a wooden spoon.....can roast it by sight, sound, and smell now...only way to drink good fresh coffee once you get used to it! I tried to buy some green beans in Negril a couple years ago....from a guy on the beach, don't remember his name but he sometimes has his daughter with him? Maybe someone knows him? Anyway, I prepaid him 2000JA for a pound of BM green promised to me but didn't see him again....I wasn't to broken up about not getting it though, even if he beat me out of the money, it will find me in Negril time I'm sure! I will be sure to check out Big Roy next time I'm in Negril and pick his brain and hopefully pick up some roasting tips!

Years ago we bought beans I would think were BLue Mtn. All I know was they gave you a zing, like cleaning the house until 2:00 without breakfast zing. We were told that the Jamaicans only drank it for wakes, when family and friends and lots of long hours of cooking where in order.
