Coffee Slump

slump

noun

1

a : a marked or sustained decline especially in economic activity or prices b : a period of poor or losing play by a team or individual

My slump has been both marked AND sustained. 

Causes?  I blame it on the heat, and a long list of lacks -- energy, health, money ... energy.  One day I didn't have the energy to roast.  And then I forgot to order green beans.  And then money got tight so I bought a cheap brand of beans at the grocery store.  Then one morning I didn't have the energy to grind - it really sux to feel sick all the time -  so I  ** gasp ** used my honey's pre-ground Folgers coffee. 

Enough is enough.  In an effort to rise up from the bottom of my coffee slump, I pulled out the coffee roaster and this is what I found:

Appalling, I know. 

I don't think a simple wash will do it.  I'm getting out the air compressor.  It's got 125 psi pounds per square inch OOMPH. 

Wish me luck!
