An affinity for coffee is something you must acquire. Both the smell of roasting coffee beans and the taste of the black drink are, at first, overwhelming. But once you get a taste of coffee just the way you like it, you're usually done for.
Today I studied at Dunn Bros' Coffee. I don't often go here to study because their prices are a bit higher than everywhere else, and it's often BUSY. But I had to be on campus to meet some friends for lunch, and my time was best served by studying here. When I walked in the man (who I believe to be the owner of the establishment) was roasting some beans. I quickly asked him if I could take some pictures, and the rest is history.
This picture isn't quite clear, and I'm well aware of that. But part of the roasting process, one of the last steps actually, is to stir the beans to let them cool once they come out of the roaster. This is the step that I caught. The silver, curvy, streak is the remnants of the owner stirring up his beans, preparing them for sale, and the not so clear beans are those that have been moved to allow others to come up and take a breather.
