Win a Hottop KN-8828B!

 I was talking to a friend of mine about home roasters, and he told me to:

Hey, let folks know that Homeroasters.org is running another contest. Top Prize is a Hottop KN-8828B!

This friend is one of the judges of this competition.  The idea is to build a bean cooler that can cool a minimum of 4lbs. of coffee right out of the roaster to 150F as quickly as possible.

Sounds like a task, but with a prize like this:

I’d say you’ve got more than enough motivation. :o)

EDIT!

I received another email today from another homeroasters.org member.  It reads:

Hi all:

Just wanted to say hi and a huge thankss for the contest plug.

It is heading toward some very inventive stuff. Join in!!

Warmest Regards,

LOL!

A good friend of mine sent me this picture today.  He mistakenly assumed I had already seen it.  Not so!

But, I got a good laugh out of it, so I thought I’d share.

Just for fun.

 p.s. – LOL = Laugh(ing) Out Loud

Dosey Doe Coffee House: The Woodlands, TX

I received an email this morning from Murry Holland to say that they were surprised to not see this retailer on the list.

Murry writes,

I don’t have any association with Dosey Doe Coffee in The Woodlands TX but I did notice they were not listed on your website. They roast some really good coffee. The owner says he ships out about 200lbs every day.

No association necessary.

You’ll now find a link to Dosey Doe Coffee in both the Retailers page, as well as the Roasters page.

Thanks Murry!

It is interesting to note that their “Dining Hall” is a 150 year old barn… from, not Texas, but Kentucky.  It apparently took two years to raise the old barn back to its useful glory.  More info on their website.  Not something I would normally expect to find in a coffee roaster/retailer.
