Story
Espresso YourselfSince its discovery by a presumably exhausted Ethiopian goat farmer, coffee has since percolated into a morning staple in many homes. And while we don’t know how many roots and berries he must’ve brewed in his search for the perfect cup of joe, we can still imagine how his breath smelled, and we thank him for his sacrifice.
Fortunately, we don’t worry about twigs in our mug anymore. Unfortunately, the once grassroots coffee culture has been co-opted by snobby baristas and their half-caff, skinny-foam, double-picky macchiatos. Which is disappointing, even to goat farmers. And those guys are usually pretty laid back.
The Coffee Roasting Crate puts the beans back where they belong: in the hard-working hands of real coffee lovers. It’s got everything a guy needs to brew up a killer cup, just the way he likes it. Kick start his day with a piping hot mug of self-esspression.

Awesome Gift!
I bought this as a birthday gift for my very creative son-in-law. He loved the “hands-on” roasting technique using the traditional Japanese toaster. We found a great video on YouTube that showed the whole process. After the first try, he really got the hang of it. The smell of the roasting coffee is lovely. The fresh ground coffee looks just like the high-end coffee we buy from Brooklyn Roasters and the finished product is delicious. This was the best gift we ever bought for him!

Great gift for Coffee lovers
I bought this for my husband and he loves it. I had previously bought a gift packed in a crate and was disappointed at the way this was packed. It was just placed in a box and everything had moved around in the box. I was surprised that the roasted wasn't broken. That being said the items are great quality and the novelty of being able to roast your own beans is fabulous for those that love coffee and are always trying to refine the taste and have fresh coffee.

Perfect for coffee lovers!
I bought this for my son who loves coffee, he is OVERJOYED. This is the 3rd gift I have bought for him from here. They have all been well received. Well made. This site is fantastic for unusual gifts for guys. Just do not pay extra for the duct tape wrapping, it is shoddily done and not worth $10.
Man Crates Response: Hey there Debra,
Sorry to hear you were dissapointed in the Duct Tape wrapping. Please give us a buzz at 866-902-7260 and we'll make it right!
