Hobby Adjacent - Coffee - Mission... Accomplished...

Yhay, well, the story is as complete as it's going to get.

Feels like this is a year in the making (looks like like February when I noticed flowers etc).

So after a few days of sun I had a total collection of 5 beans picked over possibly... 3 months now. Picked the last of those and 2 of the earlier picks were looking not that good but I managed to salvage the actual bean. Best not to dwell on that for too long.

Cherry removed from the beans and left to air dry for a few hours or over night. Then roasted in a little pan.

Grind them up...

And brewed...

It was not great.

It was quiet 'green' tasting, which was interesting, not unpleasant I guess, but not what you'd expect from coffee. And we didn't get sick.

Obviously everything was done the wrong way but by now I really didn't care.

It would be nice to get more beans all at the same time, so we'll see what this year has in store for us. It's weird that the beans flower/sprout and then didn't ripen until following summer. But the weather has been just nuts for years now, no consistency. 

I've contemplated putting plants in the ground in a corner of the garden that will not affect any pipes.

And that's all.

Until next time...
