I have been really excited about my morning beverage since starting to guide Coffee and Pastry Tours in Boulder. I’ve learned so much about beans, roasts, grinds, and brews from master roasters, master brewers, and self-proclaimed “coffee junkies” on my tours, that I was really excited to stumble upon coffee beans roasting live and out loud at Paul’s Coffee and Tea in Louisville, CO.
When I walked in and saw this machine going, I knew I had to take a few minutes to talk to the guy with the buckets of green, un-roasted beans.
It turns out that we have some artisanal coffee roasting going on a few times each week in Louisville by Roger Cohn, who isn’t just some guy who plays around with a coffee roasting machine. Roger was a founder of Allegro Coffee, which, as we all know, you can purchase in any Whole Foods in the nation. This guy knows coffee. He was born into a family of coffee traders and is a pioneer in the Front Range coffee scene. And the best part? He’s roasting right here in Louisville a few times each week.
I got closer to the roasting machine and it reminded me of a popcorn maker. It sounded like a popcorn maker too, minus the exploding kernels…
I sat there in the shop and was quite impressed with this Louisville establishment.
Their latte was fantastic. It’s worth a trip out to Louisville to get that sensory experience of the sights, sounds, and smells of coffee roasting.
So check them out:

Coffee, Banana, Rice Milk Shake
I promise… this is delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coffee (hot, warm, or cold)
- 1 very ripe banana
- 1/2 cup Rice Milk (I prefer to make my own, but the 365 brand vanilla flavor or plain will work also)
- cinnamon
Combine the coffee, banana, and rice milk a blender or, if you are so fortunate, a Vita-Mix. Blend. Pour into a glass and sprinkle with cinnamon. It will naturally get frothy on top. Enjoy.
I don’t drink milk, but I’m sure this will also work with the milk of your choice.
