My buddy Craig gave me another gift yesterday: Home Coffee Roasting.  I am officially going to be joining the ranks of Coffee picky persons [AKA: Snobs].  This book has color charts to compare the roast depth to your beans (I’ve successfully roasted a ‘moderately dark’ roast).  It also covers a wide variety of techniques, beans, regions that coffees are grown in as well as types of roasters and the history of coffee.  This book is cool!  I haven’t finished reading it yet, but I’m so impressed with what I have seen so far that I had to share.
