„Just store them in an airtight, moisture-proof container in a cool dry place (but not the refrigerator). If you must store beans for longer than a month, you can freeze them (in an airtight, moisture-proof container). However, freezing (and especially the thawing and refreezing that can occur when taking the beans in and out of the freezer every day) increases the likelihood that moisture will creep into the porous bean and the quality of the coffee will deteriorate. In addition, the flavor "oils" (which are not really oils at all, but a mixture of soluble and insoluble elements) that form on the outside of the beans during roasting will flake off because extreme temperature changes deteriorate bean structure (similar to how sidewalks crack as a result of moisture seepage and temperature change or the undesirable taste that ice cream gets when it's thawed and refrozen).“

„It shows you how to develop enterprise Beans to model your business objects and processes. One powerful advantage of the EJB architecture is that it allows you to partition work appropriately between different parts of the system: the database provides persistence, your Beans model various business entities and the interactions between them, and your client application provides a user interface, but incorporates minimal business logic. The end result is a highly flexible system built from components that can easily be reused, and that can be changed to suit your needs without upsetting other parts of the system. Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition will help you take advantage of the flexibility and simplicity that this powerful new architecture provides.“

Ten Steps To Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„After separation, the beans are transported to large, water-filled fermentation tanks. Depending on a combination of factors -- such as the condition of the beans, the climate and the altitude -- they will remain in these tanks for anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. The purpose of this process is to remove the slick layer of mucilage (called the parenchyma) that is still attached to the parchment; while resting in the tanks, naturally occurring enzymes will cause this layer to dissolve. When fermentation is complete the beans will feel rough, rather than slick, to the touch.  At that precise moment, the beans are rinsed by being sent through additional water channels.  They are then ready for drying. “

CoffeeKid - The Crema Rule (#)

„Beans roasted 12-24 hours before you grind them are the freshest possible beans you could have, and definitely fresher than almost any storebought bean you could get. Most beans need to "degas" a bit after roasting, so 12 hours is a good wait time. Beans begin to oxidize almost immediately which in turn damages them. This means that beans capable of producing great crema a day after they were roasted might produce no crema at all 7 days after they were roasted (and kept in less any environment that contains oxygen, including your sealed tight jars).“

Café de Colombia - BY ROAST (#)

„The earliest method was by roasting the green coffee in a heavy pan over charcoal fire. Late last century, a new process was introduced where beans were spun in a hot air chamber heated by natural gas; this system remains the most widely used to date. The chemical make-up of the coffee bean changes during the roasting process: water dissipates in the bean and a series of chemical reactions change sugars and starches into oils, which give coffee much of its aroma and flavor. When roasted, the coffee bean doubles in size, and the caramelization of the sugar turns it from green to brown.“
