I found freshly roasted, then ground, made a difference from buying whole, pre-roasted beans in the store, and that pre-roasted beans freshly ground were much better than pre-ground..., but other than that Brazilian, Costa Rican, Jamaican, Hawaiian, I can't tell much if any difference. Sorry, when it comes to coffee I have a peasant's palate.

I can tell Asians from Africans and South Americas but that’s as far as it goes, and I can’t say I prefer one from the other. And Colombian from Brazilian nah, it’s just coffee.
It’s all good and the cup, brewing is a lot more important then bean.
 
As I'm roasting, when I reach the desired point I very quickly toss them from the pan onto a commercial aluminum sheet pan and begin shaking around. This quickly dissipates the heat....I also blow off any remaining chaff at the same time.
 
Also, because cast iron banks heat so well, once the beans begin to brown I reduce the heat by about half....This ensures that I roast the beans rather than burn them.

Better not tell The Millenials that one isn't supposed to burn the beans or Starbucks will be out of business.
Honestly, it couldn't happen soon enough. Starbucks has done more to ruin coffee in the time they've been in business than Folgers and Maxwell house combined.

I look at Starbucks as desperation coffee - you know, the coffee you'll drink when the motel room doesn't have that burnt newspaper/mulch mix in a teabag...
 
The underlying problem is that people have been fooled into thinking coffee like that from Starbucks (burnt, bitter with little actual flavor) is the real deal. Must be why I always have to search the Starbucks billboard for a simple cup of coffee - not some dessert in a cup containing milk/cream, half a cup of sugar, whipped cream, flavored syrup and candy sprinkles to cover the flavor from an awful tablespoon of crappy coffee...
 
:haha: some time ago there was a political brouhaha over Starbucks and I heard people talk about boycotting them. I don’t believe in boycotting, but I don’t drink Starbucks. My daughter loves it. My wife chucked what my daughter would do without Starbucks. I said “no body drinks coffee at Starbucks, they just buy coffee flavored milkshakes”
They have to make their coffee nasty so there will still be some coffee flavor left after the pollution. Star bucks coffee is like cinnamon bark, pepper corns Carolina ghost peppers, not made to be consumed by its self :haha:
 
LOL, yup its all that "Soma" called Sugar, the consumption has exceeded production. They put it in everything knowing people are addicted to it.....
And real coffee is healthy, helps the gut and good against some ailments.
