The Coffee Roaster — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Homer3 (Homer Cubed)

Patty and Selma visit the Simpsons, driving Bart, Lisa, and even the pets to evade them and consequently leave almost no place for Homer to hide. Desperate to avoid his wife's sisters, he looks behind a bookcase and enters a mysterious new world in which everything is in 3D. Homer explores the peculiar area, and finds that he is trapped within (the rest of the family can only hear his voice). He seeks help from them, but their attempts to rescue him are fruitless.

After a cone hits Homer, he throws it into the floor and accidentally pierces the fabric of the space-time continuum, creating a blackhole that threatens to pull Homer and the rest of the dimension into it. Bart takes command and enters the third dimension to save Homer. Bart is unable to help, however, and the universe collapses on itself. Bart is pulled back into the house and Marge is sad that her husband is gone; Reverend Lovejoy attempts to console her by saying he has gone to "a better place". Homer is sent into the real world, landing in a dumpster in a live-action Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. He walks around, frightened as people stare at him, but then is pleased to find an...

After I upgraded my coffee setup, I realized that the store-bought beans just weren't cutting it. So, I decided to check out some local roasters and found The Coffee Roaster. Their website keeps a log of when each coffee is roasted, which is super helpful. I recommend letting the beans rest for at least three days after roasting. While the prices are listed per pound, you can actually buy a quarter pound if you prefer. I grabbed some Ethiopian and Java beans since I wanted a medium roast with lower acidity. I just brewed the Ethiopian coffee with my espresso machine, and wow! The first thing that hit me was the floral aroma. It had low acidity and a really fruity flavor. I'm totally hooked!

I couldn't find any info on pulling espresso shots on their site, so I chatted with Steve. He suggested using 18 grams of ground beans to get 36 grams of coffee at 200°F in 25-30 seconds. I really hope they add that info to their site soon.

For my espresso, I grind 19.5 grams of beans and pull 42.5 grams of coffee at 198°F in 30-32 seconds. I'm excited to experiment with a 1:2 ratio and maybe try slightly higher...

Only been there once. So far I like the drink I got. Cappuccino made the right way. Place is cozy and small. I went to buy beans for my coffee machine. It looks like a small moms and pops shop. They have nice variety of blends. Yes it’s more expensive then starbucks, by only $4-5/ lb but you get to support a local business and not a corporate. Beside I think you can find a better quality bean in these places. I’ve tried starbucks... meh. Anyways I’ll update my review in few weeks after I try the beans.

Quick update after 3 weeks: So after buying this 2 bags, I went through them so fast it tasted amazing. A week later I got the Guatemala and Sumatra. The beans are so fresh and tasting amazing. I’m actually have a cappuccino while writing this review. My favorite so far is the Sumatra. Bold and earthy. Definitely would be...
