I bring green coffee beans back from Honduras by the crate. We take crates
of medicines down and fill the crates up with beans coming back to support
the local farmers. I roast the beans in my AGA oven. They are beyond

decide that coffee is bad for you. It's gone the gammut from maybe bad to
wonderful. Right now I'm good with wonderful.
