Robert's Ramblings

Although I have been drinking coffee all my life this is the first time I'd seen the fruit responsible for my addiction, Coffea arabica

To my surprise the coffee fruit tasted sweet, almost like dates . There was not much flesh though with the two beans halves inside taking up most of the volume.

I chewed through the raw beans but they tasted nothing like the coffee I have come to enjoy which really highlighted the role roasting has on coffee flavor.

I'm not sure I can say I got a caffeine hit from the raw fruit but I did experience a buzzy tingling effect in my mouth for some time after.

There are some very cool DJs out there and there are some DJs out there mixing some really cool sound.

This guy might not be a pioneer in his craft but he certainly knew how to make his Pioneer bend the sound the way he wanted it.

Yep, we like it, we liked it a lot!
