That was fascinating.I learned how to roast the beans from Eritrean women , who are the traditional coffee roasters...The recycled tin can with handle is called "men kesh-kesh" , and it works very well....Coffee is served in demitasse cups and the flakes ( not mud like Greek or Turkish coffee ) of coffee grounds are considered as extra bonus flavor and are usually drunk with gusto..The traditional ceremony will have 3 rounds of coffee, served with popcorn laced with raisins and nuts mixed in...No sidecars of water , however after reading quite a lot about coffee and health info View attachment 794072 lately , I can see why the Greeks serve water with the coffee...As for sourcing, Moschetti Artisan Roasters are not far from my house, and have a great selection of beans. They will grind as fine as Turkish for you.
Take a look at Bodhi Leaf. If you get on their mailing list, you get a msg about a discount special every week. For something even cheaper from them, look at the Bodhi Leaf auctions (not Buy It Now!) on Ebay. When few people are bidding and the auction ends at a strange time, you can get coffee with shipping for around $3 per lb. or even less. Who knows, you might be bidding against me, but I have so much discount coffee, I better not buy anything for a long time. Green Bean Acquisition Disorder???When I have time I roast my own. I did some research and ended up buying a cheap Popcorn Machine called The Poppery (1500W Version). I did a quick fan modification and It works great for my needs. I've been buying my green beans online from The Coffee Bean Corral and have been very happy with the selection and quality. Although I must admit I would not mind looking into other sources.
