Starbucks Christmas Blend on shelves

I'm normally not one to get excited about the marketing of Christmas, but I make one exception: Starbucks Christmas Blend.

This once-yearly coffee treat is so very yummy. I always look forward to it.

One problem: I still have some Panama la Florentina left to consume, so when I make coffee at home, I have a dilemma: Christmas blend, or Panama la Florentina?

Oh, the choices!

I recently started home roasting...Mmm.. You might be interested in that. Got a popcorn popper at the thrift store for $2.99 and a friend gave me some green beans (Sumatra, Mexico, and Peru). I roasted some last night and YUM!

So far I've tried iron skillet roasting (dark roasts only), bake roasting (in a stone pan), and popcorn popper roasting. Popper roasting was by far the most even, then baking, then skillet.

Anyway, that might help solve your conundrum... or make it more complex.
