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.“

„It was dense and could not be crushed in transit. Since all the coffee was essentially burned to a crisp in a flat pan with a long handle that was held over the fire, it was indeed fragile after roasting. It made sense to roast coffee just for the group of people who were about to indulge in it... and it was not until the late 1700's that larger scale roasting apparatus was required.“

Coffee culture - Turkish coffee
„Connoisseurs expected their coffee to be heated slowly over charcoal embers for 15 to 20minutes, the copper coffee pot being frequently taken away from the fire to preventoverheating. One strict condition still observed is that a layer of froth should cover thecup. A heaping coffee spoon plus sugar to taste is allowed for each cup as a general ruletoday, although in the past most Turks drank their coffee without any sugar. Instead, itwas customary to eat or drink something sweet either before or after the coffee, perhapssweetened fruit juices known as sherbet, fruit conserves, Turkish delight or otherconfectionery.“

„For best results for filter/drip, use a cone-shaped filter and a reusable mesh insert. * For great taste with less cafeine buy arabica coffee. It's slightly more expensive, but contains less caffeine than blends that combine arabica and robusta beans. * Roasted coffee beans start to lose some of their flavor within two weeks.“
