Thanks! I just like to be as helpful as I can be for anyone thinking about jumping in. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work, but it's totally a rewarding process.
Hi David That is so awesome you are doing great at the markets. I put my feelers out there and gave it go. Everyone loves my coffee but I was paying 7 to 10 dollars a pound for green beans. I was selling 4oz bags for $5 would sell 10 to 14 bags a market. With my main gig as an independent insurance adjuster and my leather work it got to be a little too much plus the cost of everything going up. So I am still roasting coffee for me & family and friends. Great video....
Selling coffee at farmers markets won't replace your full time job, no doubt. I have the unique position of also being a professional photographer and take wedding gigs and other jobs on the side to supplement and that makes things work for me here. And certainly, paying up to $10/lb green can make seeing significant profit difficult. Your sales numbers aren't discouraging but I totally understand your position. Maybe next summer you can revisit and take a different approach!
Great info here, thanks for sharing your expertise. I feel similarly about cheaper dark roast than expensive. Although I'm still trying all the countries coffees. Cheers
In my case, I was able to plug in an electric kettle and boil water on site with gallon spring water jugs. I used two airpots so when one was low, I'd switch to the second to serve while brewing again in the first. I never had an airpot with the same coffee in it for more than an hour.
I❤You for giving me an outlet to help me earn extra $$ since I already live on a fix income. Your videos are Wonderful and have provided me a encouragement with knowledge! I do have some more questions on roasting versus beans. If you ever have time please shoot me a message or another Awesome video. 🙏🏼 ☕️
Such an informative perspective with real-time experience for reference. Coming straight from the market is commitment 👍🏽 amazing cog$ work

Absolutely. Never stop experimenting. I love to be surprised. I'm glad you found some information helpful!
how are you heating and transporting water?
