Thanks to Reason user and Portland vocalist Holly Nelson, I now roast my own coffee beans.

(it has a knob that looks like it's from a Moog!)
Currently roasting single origin beans from Nicaragua.

We have a nice espresso machine, a cool coffee siphon (vacuum brewer), and a classic French press (broke the Chemix a while back).
Another total coffee nerd here…
Are there thingies that both ground and roast the beans?
I'd go for caffeine free, though. Just like black tea, I like it, but don't want caffeine.

I would want it as aromatic and delicious as possible, but without bitterness.
Which is the perfect one for that?

P.S. even lighter amount of caffeine causes a lot of hum and beeping to my hearing. They say it leads to faster hearing loss.

I prefer alcohol to coffee unless it's certain types that are like cocoa or something.

Chronically from about 7am until around 8pm then I slow down with tea. Sometimes during the day if I think I need a nap I'll slam a couple shots and lay down for 45 minutes or so, then coffee will kick in and I'm up.

You need to drink MOAR coffee.

the incidence of reported tinnitus was 15% lower ... who drank five cups per day.

Stop being a wimp and drink more coffee.

Even more coffee also adds noise. I do want more coffee, but without caffeine.

I saw these pictures of spiders webs made by spiders on various drugs on a tv programme years ago and was quite interested how messed up the caffeine one was.

I love coffee but have a very low tolerance to caffeine.

If you look at the refs on that wiki page they look legit. Plus i think the tv prog i saw them on was BBC QI... pretty reliable.

I was quite amazed at the time how crazy the caffeine one was even compared to benzedrine.

This is why music is sucking these days. Everyone's all buzzed out and caffeinated.

Drug-free is formulaic.

but caffeinated is minimalist and more creative.

Awesome comparison - conformist vs non-conformist!

I'm still wondering which way results in the most aromatic, delicious, and least bitter result, when I want caffeine free (strongly reduced in reality) coffee? Anyone?
