Thanks! My roaster (purchased from sweetmarias.com a few years ago) was a piece of China crap that didn't hold up, and I miss the "good stuff"
. I never sampled the high $ beans (rediculous $, even in Jamaica), but was partial to Yemen, Indian peabody, and some of the Sumatras. CCMcoffee.com is another good source for green beans.
