ummm coffee..
I have been to many coffee shops and not real good so i roast my own now. Yemen mocca materi tastes real nice as espresso.

Roasting my own is something I’ve never done. I suspect it would take a lot of time and effort to produce something as good as my favourite cafes, not to mention some expensive equipment.

Plus, although being able to produce something that good at home would be ultracool, there is something to be said for the social/atmosphere aspect of a good cafe. I think so, anyway.
