You got around to try some of the 49th? What did you have?

The Kenyan.
I'm really dialed in with my Ethiopians, so I don't often have them from other roasters. Kenyans though, I am all about experimenting there. I'm all over the map when I roast those.
I tell you what though, 49th is getting good money for their coffee. It's good coffee, but dang they are getting over.

They wind up being about $18 CAD (roughly 14 USD) for 16oz when I order them through a local coffee shop. The espressos are readily available here but all their single origins I have to order.

Wow, I did it wrong. I had a friend pick up a bag at the shop when they were visiting Vancouver a few weeks ago.
I got like five bags of Maynards wine gums for that one 3/4 pound of coffee. :)

Steel cut oats with strawberries and maple syrup. Coffee ended up being a pour over with the Ethiopian Limu beans I roasted two weeks ago.
Busy weekend ahead, so I'll lay low today and take care of some housework.
I'm trying to get a new business off the ground, so I need to do some marketing type work on that too.

You didn't ask for a tip, but I'll share what worked for me.
I trained my mind to set myself up to succeed. I keep healthy snacks in my car. That way when I get hungry while I'm away from home, I reach for one of those instead of the drive through.
Yeah, a granola bar isn't as good as some fries or a breakfast sandwich, so it was a mental battle too. I'm winning now, but it was a process.
Set yourself up to succeed bro.

Yeah, you're right. When I first started several years ago it was a process. I've slipped a tad ( not quite as diligent about some things ) but, so far, have kept 40 pounds at bay for 2 years right now. I still want to get another 20 or so off. I'm not lifting any more so don't need to be walking around at 220 any more. I'd like 200 or 190 in a perfect world.
 
Steel cut oats with freshly sliced peaches and maple syrup.
One cup from the pour over I split with my wife. That was the Nicaraguan beans I roasted last weekend. A little bolder than I like, but it was good.

Warm and sunny up this way. A wee bit warm for the yard work we need to do before selling our house. But hey, it has to get done.
