If I drank Folgers, Carol- I too would try to disguise it. *G*

I grind mine fresh too. I'm not really picky about the brand or origin or roast- most of the time I buy Costco's San Francisco blend. Cheaper, and tastes fine to me.

But even whole beans are not equal. A live-in museum volunteer one day came home with a bag of Folger's Whole Bean and suggested that we give it a try.

She made a pot and brought me a cup. I sipped a bit and then let it sit. She came in the room a bit later and said, It really is bad, isn't it!

Eventually I gave the bag to a man who said he would drink anything. Come to think of it - haven't seen him in a long time...

Rap, I have a hot air popcorn popper. How does one roast coffee beans in it? How can you tell when it's done?
