And my regular Sunday ride, the coffee shop owner does custom roast his beans in a bread maker with heat from a heat gun, he does store the roasted beans in jam jars, it is almost a hole in the wall, his normal way of making coffee is by syphon, but in summer he does a wonderful cold filtered version. And he is a true polymath. I have left him my Smiths Empire pocket watch for a service.
