Well done Dan.

Thanks for those tips Randy. I've heard beans are best between four days after roasting and ten. Mind you I have "emergency" beans in case I run out of the good ones and these can be six months old and I sometimes get a GREAT coffee.

The beans I use are Brazilian, which are descibed as being something along the lines of cheap filler type beans that are blended with better ones. They are the only beans I use and have had very good results with them.
