Local roaster w/ Robusta beans? Or a local roaster that will roast my green beans?

[ns1]

My local roaster only stocks Arabica. Anyone got a lead for robusta? Alternatively, I can get the beans myself if someone knows of a roaster who will roast them dark as hell for me.

I don't need single origin organic blah blah blah, I just need fairly cheap quality robusta beans roasted fresh.

call the coffee roaster in sherman oaks on ventura blvd. maybe they will roast for you, or maybe they have robusta beans. i don't know, but they're always quite accomodating in my experience.

are you making cafe sua da at home?

[ns1]

yup.

I am making my triumphant return to the land of cafe sua da.

http://www.trysterocoffee.com will no doubt custom roast (the hell out of) your beans.

OTOH, I'm oddly enamored with Mr. Baguette's caphe sua da. It is probably full of carrageenan and god-knows-what-else, but it's kinda good in a gross way.

I've also tried adding chicory to my ca phe drip, as well as to the portafilter, both to no avail.

perfect, exactly what I was looking for!
