I Am Going To Tell You a Little Bit About COFFEE NOW!

 Wow!  Look at the power in that phrase!

"COFFEE NOW!"

So anyway.  I like a really dark roast coffee.  I haven't found any I like since the brand I like got bought out, caught and killed and buried deep!

But I thought I had a good brand, after that!  And I said to myself, make sure not to buy any other coffee, wait until you are at the store that has that coffee and only buy that!

So I did.  And guess what?  It wasn't anywhere near as good as the same bag of it, same of it everything, I had before.

So I researched coffee roasting.

And it said not to do it; reroast coffee.  But one person said they did it and it turned out great.

So I tried it once and it wasn't too bad.

Then the next time I tried it I screwed up the setting on the microwave oven and it started to spark and looked like it was going to ignite!

So quickly I hit the stop button!  As the correct button I wanted was the broil button.  Mine has that top heating element function.  It is a multifunction oven, but I didn't pay any more for it because of that.

So I quickly took that fuming coffee rounds outside in the cold air and wafted it with my hand.

Then I went for broke.  Stubborn hard headed man I am.  I put that right back in the microwave oven, on its metal grate riser, placed on tinfoil, about 1/2 cups worth of grounds.  The time setting I believe was between 3.5 and 4 minutes.

Well I got that coffee out.  Put it in the adapter for my fancy coffee machine.  Made it the way I liked it.

And as I drank it I started to wonder if I should be doing that?  But it tasted good.  Better than more recent cups.  ( I am going to put in a health note here.  I avoid smoked food and processed meats if I can because I think they can contribute or cause prostate cancer.)

And so half of that made one cup.  And then I didn't have time to put those grounds away for the day in the refrigerator.  But this morning I thought, you should just throw those grounds out.

But then I thought they are worth a try.  But they had stayed out all night and likely oxidized?

I made a cup with them.

And it is pretty darn good.

Now I am not recommending you do this, because of the health note.
