Obsession


Obsession might seem like a strong word, but as my Ozarkian husband would say "we sure do love us some coffee". Now we're taking it to the next level. Thanks to our friends Nate & Jessica we've been introduced to the world of at-home coffee roasting. We bought our coffee roaster and green coffee beans almost two months ago, and now, seven weeks and four pounds of freshly-roasted coffee later, we're hooked. Currently our latest shipment of green coffee beans is sitting in our kitchen just begging to be roasted to perfection by Nick, our roast master.
Some may say that roasting your own beans is unnecessary, but for a true coffee lover there's nothing like drinking a mug full of fresh java and knowing that it hasn't been sitting in a bin at a chain coffee shop for weeks and weeks. Plus, when those beans are roasting, my whole house smells like coffee! It's better than any air freshener that Bath & Body Works could ever offer.
