Subject: Texas roasters?
Hello,

From much reading of this newsgroup it seems to be the consensus that if you
don't roast at home, buy from a roaster close by.

I live about one hour northeast of Dallas, Texas.

Any good roasters who sell to individuals in the DFW metroplex or vicinity?

Thanks,

Jimmie Houchin

Good luck finding a decent roaster in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I
spent a week there last month and looked all over town for good
coffee. The best I came up with was a 'coffeehouse' in the hippie
district that literally served me strong coffee for a double shot of
espresso. There was no creama, because it was literally just coffee.

After going to Dallas, I drove to San Antonio area, staying the night
in Austin. Austin is great and I had some espresso that was every bit
as good as the top-tier espresso in Seattle. It was at a little place
called Little Cities (or City). There are two of them in town near
the University District.

Well I would have recommended Noble Bean in Fort Worth but they just went out
of business, tear in the eye :( . There is a place called roadaks, not sure
of spelling that will roast and send to you. His coffee is fairly good but
expensive. Email me and I will send you his number and address.

Not surprised after doing a Google search and not finding anything of promise.

Oh well.

I think I might try the hot air popper and roast my own.
If not I'll just try SweetMarias or somewhere else.

Thanks.

Check out "Distant Lands" roasters in Tyler, TX. (www.dlcoffee.com) My
dad just sent me a couple packages of their whole bean espresson blends
and they're pretty darn good. I think there's another Tyler roaster but
I can't recall the name, but do a google search for 'tyler coffee roast'
(or sim.) and you should be able to find it. Good luck!

Distant Lands is owned by one of the giants of the coffee world, Bill
McAlpin, who also owns La Minita in Costa Rica, one of the great
coffee plantations. Donald Schoenholt was kind enough to introduce us
(the C-Members) to him at the Boston SCAA conference.

I would expect their product to be top notch.
