I'm all for bringing manufacturing back to America but how much coffee could we possibly produce ourselves? Other than Hawaii, where else can it grow well in the states? There should be no extra tariffs on food products that we can't grow ourselves. Raising the tariff on coffee isn't going to make farmers in Ohio start growing coffee.

Our fire pit sucked. No air holes and a deep ring made it hard to get a good fire going. I'm glad I didn't bring my Adirondack popcorn popper and rely on freshly roasted camp coffee.

Today I hooked my Aillio Bullet R1 roaster to my Geneverse Homepower Two solar generator to roast instead of the usual connection to house main power. The roasts went well, the voltage appeared very stable, and my solar generator went from 96% capacity when I started to 64% capacity now as I'm cooling the roaster down after two roasts, one 9:21 and the second 13:23 and the ~30 minute initial pre-heat and ~5 minute between batch pre-heat. Capacity ended up at 63% by the time the roaster cooled off and shut down.
Looks like I have the capacity to do at least three roasts off the solar generator (battery bank) and I'll recharge it when I'm done with solar panels.

I've been putting off trying this, commercially hand roasted coffee from my future son-in-law from Sao Jorge, the Azores island where his parents live.

I was going to try out some of the coffee this morning but I chickened out. This is from a plantation that grows their own coffee on Sao Jorge. Too bad I didn't get some green coffee instead. From what I hear their coffee doesn't have a great reputation on the island. Maybe I'll sort through the coffee and remove some of the scorched beans to try a cup. I'm enjoying a nice cup of home-roasted Brazil Joaquim Ribeiro Natural from Bodhi Leaf instead.

I decided to give the coffee a try this morning after a good cup of home-roasted Sumatra. A closer examination of the beans shows that many are scorched only on the flat side (facing?), probably due to improper agitation in the roasting pan. The other side is quite light actually, I could hear my grinder working harder than normal and I roast to a good medium light roast normally, just a few minutes past the start of first crack.
Now to try the cup... it tastes a bit like straw with an astringent note with a hint of apricot. Not properly developed, not a good cup, but not the worst I've had, after culling the worst offenders.
The single coffee bean shown in the picture below is two sides of the same bean.

My mind goes nuts. What if it’s the same factory that produces inkjet cartridges for our printers and the Kureg pods are filled with ink and no coffee whatsoever. And the kurig users didn’t even notice.

They would notice because the water in their coffee cup would be dark for once.
I always think of you when I drink affogatos
'Cause that summer we would have them every afternoon
The hot and cold was such a perfect combination
Melt all together bittersweet and creamy, and always gone to soon https://youtu.be/C7iUGVKWspw?si=0F7wk2iL84TsWHoz&t=70

Yesterday I paid $16.50 per 1.5lb can of house brand. Up $4. Not a good tariff increase.

Did you roast those beans on the camp stove or did you glamp it?

I glamped it, roasting it at home before we left.

No more tripped breakers (uncommon) and no more having to defer laundry because I'm roasting.

Are they supposed to look unevenly roasted?

No, that's not a good sign.

If those beans are as light as they look, the scorched ones might improve the cup.

Lagging and dragging this evening so I pulled a shot of Brazil Joaquim Ribeiro Natural coffee on my Cafelat Robot.

I don't have problems, just more work to do.
