Amazon.com: Books: Home Coffee Roasting: Romance & Revival (#)
„Coffee addicts who have already traded up to the latest bean grinders and brewing machines now have a new frontier to conquer: roasting their own beans. Davids' updated edition of his earlier work addresses the technological advances that have made home roasting even more accessible. After surveying the history of coffee roasting and the machinery invented for that purpose, Davids scrutinizes the world's coffees, comparing their varietal characteristics so that home roasters can anticipate which beans will produce coffees that best suit their tastes. His quick guide to home roasting methods clearly delineates the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, from the most expensive home roasting machines to simple stove-top and microwave oven techniques.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„The problem with applying this formula to espresso brewing is the precision required of the grind. The little electric blade grinders so common now in North-American homes, used with care, will produce a grind sufficiently fine and uniform to produce decent, albeit thin-bodied, espresso on simple brewing devices that work by steam pressure only. However, larger pump or piston machines require a much more precise grind to operate to their full potential.“

„There's a lot of good grinders on the market today that do the job they are assigned - providing an even grind at various levels of fineness needed for a specific brewing job. The key is only burr grinders will do, and some burr grinders aren't as good as others.“

„Electric burr grinders increase speed and reduce effort. Many also provide several grind settings so users can find the match between the coarseness of the grind and brewing method, and to adjust for varying bean moisture and ambient humidity. (Espresso, for example, requires extra-fine grounds, while French press coffee needs a coarse grind.) However, electric burr grinders usually require enough beans for at least two cups of coffee, with a maximum capacity of about 18 cups.“

„ If you're a roaster/retailer, many of your customers probably buy pounds of whole beans to take home. In this case you'll probably want to sell some grinders and brewing options, such as French presses, drip brewers and home espresso machines. But narrow down your customers' choices. Do the research for them, and sell what you feel is the best home espresso machine on the market.“

Tea & Coffee 10/04 - The Truth Behind Running a Trade Show Seminar
„I ask the guy where the grinders are and he looks at me with the “what grinders?” look, and I realize he’s clueless about this detail. In addition, after scoping out their brewing equipment, (all 10 gallon urns), and the waitstaff, (some of whom spoke English), I realize that the chance of brewing the coffee correctly and at the right time is pretty remote. So I shift gears and decide to do a “cupping.” The new plan is that each person would have six cups of ground coffee in front of them, and then the servers would just have to pour hot water into each cup. Shouldn’t be too difficult.“
