While I likely won't get into roasting my own beans (no room here for equipment, and just frying bacon is enough to set off the smoke alarm), I am interested in improving the quality of my morning coffee. I am currently buying whole beans, usually from Starbucks (Kenya) or from a local Kaldi-supplied coffee shop (Kenyan AA Keekorok, Full City Roast). I grind them as needed in a cheap whirly Krups blade grinder (10 scoops of beans per) and brew in a cheap Krups coffee pot (6 cups at a time). The Krups pot has a drip delay for making smaller coffee amounts, and I use it for the first couple of minutes of the brew cycle. Once brewed, I pour it straight into a preheated Nissan Stainless carafe.
I plan on taking three steps to improve the quality of my coffee.
Any ideas on how to find a local resource for freshly roasted beans?
