Superb intro post about the super complicated process and magic touch value add ons that the SJW Coffee Chains bestow on their coffees in order to charge us, maybe not an arm and a leg, but at least a pinkie for the privilege of sampling their coffee god creations. Now all we need is a comprehensive table of bean mixes / raw materials, Process Flow - Coffee results recipe guide, process control fine tuning and equipment usage model, and process stage attributes tweaking best known methods, and maybe, just maybe, we can unplug from the tyranny of those corporate clowns. If all goes well for your venture, *bucks would feel the (roasting) heat all right, and we the people will be free. Oh, i wish it so....

Occult Art of Roasting Coffee
The roasting is remarkably easy - literally just like making popcorn. The entire process takes no more than 5 minutes. As for blends, that's part of the fun. I roast a little Arrabica and Robusta from different locations, each with different characteristics - then grind to a fine powder and mix them in different proportions and roasts (e.g. dark roasted Robusta with brown roasted Arrabica mixing Bali and Sumatera). Try using chocolate milk instead of regular. Use brown sugar instead of white. Use Bailey's Irish Cream for a little kick. Top with whipped cream. Add a dash of cinemon, nutmeg or vanilla extract. With a few simple ingredients and a total investment of about half an hour, you can have all sorts of exotic coffee and never even have to say the word "starclucks". Cost per cup is on the order of pennies.
