Some of you already know about this but for those who don't:
My husband, Joe, took a coffee roaster and about 1000 lbs of green bean coffee with him to Iraq last year. In addition to his official job predicting the actions of insurgents, he also set-up and ran a coffee roaster and espresso bar which they called Blackjack Java. It was a big hit over in LSA Anaconda, where he was stationed.
He has spent literally (almost) every hour since he got back setting up the roaster here in North Carolina. Joe has spent many hours dreaming about making this work and it is wonderful for me to see him finally have the chance to actually do it.
With that lead in, I invite you all to go check out www.simcoffees.com The website still has a few bugs/typos, but we are finally ready to sell some fresh-roasted coffee (at least via paypal. We will be taking credit card payments sometime in the next few days.) If you like good coffee, this is really good coffee and the fresh-roasted part makes a difference. If you don't like coffee normally, this is still good coffee. (I'm a non-coffee drinker myself but I actually like this stuff. Joe says it's something about the combination of high quality beans and fresh roasting.)
