Learning to brew and roast coffee has been a more humbling experience than I could ever have anticipated. Learning to brew it taught me how much I was relying on the roaster. You can do so much to mess up the roaster's hard work but nothing to improve upon it. You simply grind those brown, brittle fruit seeds and try to get those flavors and aromas that are already developed extract into some water. But when you roast, all you can do is properly develop the flavors that are in those green, hard seeds. You can only mess up what's already there, not improve it in any way. As a roaster, you have no control over of the ripeness of the fruit those seeds came from, that's on the farmer. You can pick out seeds from the batch that are obviously from an underripe fruit, unless there are too many of those. And you have a choice whether to buy coffee that was washed or naturally processed, or even wet-hulled. However, you're doing none of these processes yourself. The farmer grows the plants, picks the fruit, processes the seeds from the fruit and dries them so they can be roasted. I roast coffee as a hobby, and what he said about the farmer being the most important part of the equation is spot on! Enjoy your coffee and appreciate the farmer it came from. Buy direct trade coffee if you can so the farmer gets a decent amount of the money. Buy fresh coffee from a local roaster if possible. Don't be afraid to try roasting at home if you want. But most importantly, appreciate the farmer.
