Interesting homemade coffee roasters

The MAKE website has some very interesting homemade coffee roasters, with links to more info. I think my favorite is the one that uses a camping-sized propane cylinder and burner, with two ‘D’ size batteries rotating the roasting chamber. Resourceful! You can check them out here.

Java Log fireplace logs

java-log-sm.jpgForget duraflame, if you’re looking for a fake log to burn why not try coffee?! Made from recycled coffee grounds, they burn hotter, cleaner, and brighter than other choices. They also produce less carbon monoxide than other ‘manufactured logs’. Unfortunately, they do NOT produce a coffee aroma while burning. You can pick up a set of six logs for $37 over at Gevalia.
