WAVERLY, Iowa â Move over craft beer. Thereâs a new beverage brewing on the local scene.
Craft coffee is energizing java enthusiasts â like Erik Johnson of Waverly â to create their own coffee blends at home using a delicate roasting process.
âYou can totally screw up a great coffee by poorly roasting it, and you can take a mediocre coffee and bring it to its highest heights,â Johnson said.
Over the last decade Johnson has grown and matured his roasting techniques. The craftsmanship behind each cup of the centuries-old beverage considers the flavor and origin of each bean.
