What kind of berries are these?

Not a clue what those are but they remind me of these that I use daily

found them on internet

Be careful how you say that :wink:

Want to guess whatI posted a picture of?

The caption on the photo says cherries, but they look more like cranberries to me. :confused:
Maybe Holly Berries.

yep, thems ash berries…

The second red berries in the photo are coffee cherries. Coffee beans grow and are covered by a red fruit. Most people that drink coffee every morning have never seen a coffee cherry.

I have been home roasting green coffee beans for close to a year now. Coffee is just another passion of mine.

I don’t want to go too off-topic, but has it really been that long already? :shock: Glad to see you’re still at it! :smiley: :cool:

Len found the answer to his question fast, so I don’t think he will mind too much:

Lots to learn for sure. I have joined and been reading the coffee geek site but haven’t posted there yet. At first I thought that I needed to roast more coffee than most roasters would roast and was looking at BBQ drum roasters. Now I am realizing that we don’t drink enough coffee to go that route. I see where you can even roast “like a barbarian” in a wok or pan and one of the neatest ones was with a hot air gun and a metal dog bowl. Looks like anyone that wants to give this a try can go for it. My wife still thinks that I am nuts and this is all that I need in my life - one more passion.

It has turned into 3 bodum presses, an Aero Press, Baratza Virtuoso grinder and a Bunn VPR APS which is a commercial brewer. Like I said back then - ONE MORE PASSION. CO Flyfisher, if you have any new ideas - STAY AWAY FROM ME. :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL, nothing really new other than furling leaders…

I was going through my roasting notebook last weekend, and realized that in the almost 6 years I have roasting coffee now, I have roasted an average of between 20 and 25 pounds of coffee per year!!! :o

The total is just shy of 140 POUNDS!!!

I knew I shouldn’t have started roasting for espresso/cappucino…

Just bought 10 pounds of greens today. I know it is an odd number but I have roast 66 pounds of coffee so far and had to buy the 10 today because I had nothing in the house. Down to about 1/2 pound of coffee that is roasted and 76 pounds purchased.

No, I don’t want to know anything about furrled leaders. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice! I had a big order earlier this summer, and I have about 30 - 35 pounds in the house right now. I’ve got to roast some tonight.

The beauty of it is that ALL of my coffee roasted after the first year has been done in the SAME roasting appliance - a West Bend Poppery I! :smiley: :cool: (and it is still going strong)

I took this conversation to PMs. Thanks for sharing your thread Len.
