Amazon.com: Books: Home Coffee Roasting: Romance & Revival (#)

„I'd love to see a table in the appendix covering the top 50 (or so) growing regions and rating the AVERAGE bean on acidity, sweetness, body, finish, etc, so that one has a clue where to begin when making a blend. The professional coffee roaster is cupping samples all day long, and quickly learns the characteristics of the world's coffees. But we amateurs, buying 1, 2, or 5 lbs at a time could use a secret decoder ring that would tell us in advance what variety we should order that has a good chance of rounding out that blend that is "not quite there yet." Short of that, David's excellent narrative coverage in the book of different coffee characteristics will have to do.“

Indian coffee board- monthly magazine- Coffee World Economy (#)

„In 1980 the ICO Promotion Fund allocated a million dollars to assist in financing research in the area of coffee and health. In 1988 the Fund agreed to finance a Public Relation programme for coffee in cooperation with EUCA, the European Coffee Roaster's Association, which led to the formation of ISIC, which today plays such an important role in funding research. And it is with the support of ISIC that the ICO has been able to embark on the current Positively Coffee Programmes, designed to disseminate information on the positive health effects of coffee drinking to the public and now especially to the health care professionals.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: FreshRoast +8 Home Coffee Roaster with 5 lbs. Green Coffee (#)

„Because of its basic design, this is the roaster that will outlast all the fancy, computer chip controlled machines out there. If you are a serious home coffee roaster, it is worth having one of these just in case your other roaster fails. Because of the mechanical timer and the fast roast time, this unit requires a little more attention to achieve your favorite roast. This is a simple matter of monitoring the bean color and aroma, then manually turning the machine to cool when the beans are perfect.“

„Peet himself had many influences. His father was a coffee roaster in Holland, and his uncle was a green coffee dealer. He came to the US in 1956 where he refined his coffee and tea philosophy during stints with various coffee roasters and importers. Peet is said to have developed his roasting style through many years of cupping and experimentation and among those who know him, is said to be a most serious, stern and knowledgeable cupper.“

„   This topic has come up time and time again, wherever and whenever I meet baristi. This past September in Portland, Ore., Stumptown Coffee Roasters hosted a single-origin party. We sampled different origins roasted by Stumptown and Intelligentsia of Chicago. It was such a great communal experience to hear everyone unearthing their passion for good coffee as shots of origins made their way through Stumptown’s cupping room.“

Ten Steps To Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„This process, called pyrolysis is at the heart of roasting.  It is what produces the flavor and aroma of the coffee we drink.  When the beans are removed from the roaster, they are immediately cooled either by air or water. Roasting is generally performed in the importing countries because freshly roasted beans must reach the consumer as quickly as possible.“

„A skilled coffee roaster knows exactly what a given roast profile will do to the taste of coffee. Try to connect with some local "artisan" roasting companies. The purpose is to receive (free) training on their roasting machines in exchange for help with packaging the coffee, cleaning and/or repair work.“

„Think of the pleasures of a nice Cabernet and you get the idea. Taylor Maid's Happy Holiday Blend, a seasonal treat which should be offered year-round, has a fruity aroma to start and continues with some nice spice notes, but has a much smoother finish than the roaster's other coffees.“
