Sweet Maria's green coffee beans

First to recommend

Description

I also roast my own coffee at home and I will not buy green coffee from any place other that Sweet Maria. They are utterly amazing. Their coffee is meticulously cupped, evaluated, rated and described. I have never had a bad coffee in 5 years from there.

I'm a huge fan of the cast iron skillet. I personally think that Teflon and other nonstilck surfaces should be banned.

Wusthof knives

6 people recommended this item

Description

Everything in the kitchen is easier with good, sharp knives. I depend on three Wüsthof blades: a paring knife, a 10-inch Chef’s knife, and a serrated bread knife. The serrated knife is good for bread, tomatoes, and shaving big bricks of chocolate into meltable shards. The other two do everything else for me.
