Make Your Own Custom Coffee at Home!
I have started blending whole coffee beans at home to create my own blends. I really like the smokey flavor of dark roast, but I also like the nutty flavor and citrus notes of light roast. Why not have all of these flavors at once in the same cup of coffee?I bought a bag of French Roast dark roast whole coffee beans and a bag of Kona Blend light roast whole coffee beans at Target. They were marked way down to $5.49 for a 12 oz bag, so I decided to give Target's Archer Farms store brand a try.

I poured an equal amount of dark roast beans and light roast beans in a bowl and stirred them with a spoon until they were evenly mixed.

Next, they went into the coffee grinder, 5 scoops to make a 16 oz cup. Finally, the freshly ground beans went into my Melitta Thermal Coffee Maker's cone filter and I filled the water tank with filtered water from my refrigerator.
The result... Some of the best coffee I have ever had! I have been drinking my 50/50 dark-light custom blend for about a week now.
This is an easy thing to try at home. All it takes is two different kind of coffee beans and a coffee grinder.
