Darin Loves Coffee

So, where to start. Oh I know, Darin thinks he is Mr. Folger now. The man with the basket is Mark and he is over the housing here. We had our barefoot classes at his house and he let the boys pick the coffee beans off the tree. Darin thinks it is the neatest thing.
Here is Mr. Folger, I mean Darin, working very hard to pick the beans that were ready.
He is so proud. Even though that might make two cups!
The barefoot class got to go to the coffee packaging plant. So Darin thought all of  you would love to see the process. First there is the bean that is not ripe. Second is the bean that is ripe and ready to be picked. Third is where you let the red ones soak and then peel it (the tedious process) and that is where you have the white one, which these have already been dried out. Fourth is the roasting. It is the brown seeds. And then you have it packaged. Either with beans or ground.
And then finally your coffee. I know crazy coffee maker huh? Many Ticos think this is the best tasting coffee made in this pouch. When you have Mr. Folger living in your house though it doesn't matter what kind of coffee maker you have.  Darin sure does love his coffee!!!!!!!
