Sorry if this is a slight deviation from planning, but it occurs to myself
and others that it should not be that hard to import green beans direct from
the farmers:

The only problem is that we seem clueless about how to roast the beans.
I think redrooster has a roaster but limits the beans it will roast.
So I wonder if we can educate ourselves about roasting

Or establish a community roast house - it only lasts a few days if you like
it fresh :)
