... I'm pretty sure I'm in...still not sure whether 10 or 2 would be better for me. By a strange coincidence, a buddy from Dallas is coming down for a British...
Traders village really crowds just after lunch. How about trading early and coffee in the pm. Actually anytime you are able I can make it there. I live close...
10am is cool w/ me, just need to check w/ the (almost-) missus. I think she's going to a wedding shower that morning so I'm on my own and shouldn't have a...
... I'm cool on the location, David. My trip to Trader's Village ain't to trade - unless there are important coffee-related artifacts there, of course! My...
Manny's is on the Southwest corner of Hwy 6 and West Rd. The strip center has a Shell station on the corner. Sears Hardware at the South end and The Sweet...
Well, we may be accused of being easily amused, but we had a fine time at Manny's. Manny joined us when he could, and gave us the benefit of his experience in...
Hello Gene and HoustonHomeRoasters So sorry I missed the invite for this meeting. Will try to make the next one. Now the questions - where's Manny's While I...

Hello Joe These are the maps to Manny's. Manny's is between Sears Hardware and Sweet Mesquite on the SW corner. He is really a super Greek and makes a mean...
Thanks. I'll see if I can get there, probably too far to just drop in unless I'm at Fry's on West Road. I live in Clear Lake and since moving here I have not...
...The shipment I brought back is quite good, especially when I compare it to the Sumatra and Brazil varities I had been living on from Spec's. My taste buds...
Hello Gene I mentioned at Manny's that I couldn't roast Pluma probably because it was old. I tried spraying with water and the first batch wasn't impressive...
... Looking forward to it, David. We did an event at your alma mater a couple of days ago for the 125th anniversary of the Association of Former Students. ...
I think that is standard for Aggie events. .I didn't meet him but his office is in Tomball and we saw him at Rancho Grande the local Mas Bueno eating place. We...
I found this in the Houston paper if anyone is interested It is not roasting but is probably about half of the product quality. Cheers David Ballard...
Oops I forgot to include the link. http://www.llu.com/3000.htm It is 5th from the bottom. The 16 Jan 05 date shows up on the handout but not on the computer. ...
I got an 'espresso' there a while back. Wasn't bad, but not great either... I ordered a double decaf and got about a 4 oz. drink. I balked, sorta asked them if...
... Think like a drug dealer, Jamison. My wife gets capuccinos every morning. She bought me my espresso machine. I'm pretty sure there's a connection. gene...
Unfortunately, my lady doesn't like coffee. I'm working on her, but it's SLOW going. Doesn't particuarly care for red wine either but I've had slightly greater...
I just roasted two batches of R Dalton Antigua Recor. The first was great but I roasted the second and didn't check it before mixing. The combination of the...
... I'm confused, David. Why would the divots bother you? They're just coffee bits. Do you mean that the roast went darker than you had intended? I guess I...
The only difference between the first and second roast were the divits. The darkness wasn't enough to make a difference but apparently the divits made the...
