An unlikely meeting at the races

The move from coffee nondrinker to coffee lover and fanatic
17 years after Steve and Joe met, during a casual conversation, Joe told Steve that he doesn't drink coffee, and never really liked it. Joe liked everything about coffee i.e. the smell of roasted coffee, brewed coffee, tiramisu, coffee ice cream, coffee liqueur, etc., just not the drink. Steve asked "when was the last time you tried coffee?" Joe replied, about 1983! Steve said "You just haven't had good coffee!" Steve roasted some coffee at his house and sent it to Joe. Apprehensive, Joe brewed some up. It smelled great, but would he like the taste? After the first sip, he was hooked!!
From Coffee Lover to Master Roaster
Not being able to find coffee off the shelf that compared to Steve's fresh roasted coffee, Joe began to talk to Steve about how to roast coffee on his own.
