I enjoy coffee with both Virginia and English/Balkan blends but stay away from anything containing Burley, it makes me sneeze! I roast my coffee to about Full City which means stopping the roast before the second crack. At the second crack I find the beans get oil on the outside and have a tendency toward bitterness. Needless to say I'm not a Starbucks fan!

That's what I drink, Starbucks. We have a popcorn roaster that I've thought of roasting my own beans. I might give it a shot!

I find that Virginia doesn't go well with coffee, maybe it's the roast that I drink, have you noticed that? MB Virginia no 1 does fine, most blends are good with coffee.

We're going out to a posh steakhouse for dinner, me and the whole family. I want the car to smell like Wilke Peanut Butter if I can get people to go along with it 🙂

I got it from Wilke last week, out of Massachusetts. They've got some really good VaPers too, I got Lizzie Blood Red Virginia, Vice Cat, Back Bay, and Maple Plum Spice. I like the peanut butter, he's a nutter as well 🙂

I've burnt out at least 3 dedicated coffee roasters and now use an Instant Omni with a rotisserie basket, 10 ounces at 440° for 20 minutes. There's plenty of people using air poppers, check the internet for quantity and time before you start the journey!

That might be the problem. I'm not a big fan of Starbucks. Find it somewhat bitter. If they have it where you are try some 8 o'clock Columbian Supreme. I find it much better than Starbucks.
 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat is my drink. Watching an episode of Nova.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth medium bend 1980 Century 100 Year Old Briar (GBD second) natural chubby egg with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Paid $16.95 for it at my local Tinderbox, and it's been a very reliable smoker all these years.
