CoffeeGeek - Bean There, Roasted That, Part Two ()

  „There are several different methods used in coffee roasting, from traditional drum roasters to modern fluid bed units as well as different theories on roasting styles, from very fast ‘high yield’ roasting to very slow ‘Brasilian’ roasting and even a ‘twice-roasted’ technique is used by some. Personally I like ‘old fashioned’ natural coffees with their full taste and low acidity and use a drum roaster that draws hot air through the tumbling beans as they roast. This enables an even roast from the hot air with the ‘traditional’ flavours of drum roasting. Fluid bed roasting uses heated air forced through ‘floating’ coffee beans which gives the coffee a clean finish and a ‘bright’ taste.“

  „This is a classic example about passion or the lack-there-of not running throughout the supply chain of a roasting company.Well, maybe...but my not-so-nice experience at Coffee Tree Roasters was at two different locations and on more than one time at each.   You are correct that someone else can "mess up" a well intentioned and well provisioned business endeavor.  However, there is an old saying about the fish (presumably a dead fish) starting to stink from the head.“

CoffeeGeek - Bean There - Pt 4: Roasting & Blending Espresso CoffeeGeek - Bean There - Pt 4: Roasting & Blending Espresso

  „Some people think that more beans make a better espresso but I do not believe that at all. There are very few coffees that by themselves have a good enough balance to make a single origin espresso, the exceptions that come to mind might be good Hawaiian or Haitian coffees. I find it usually takes three beans to make a good blend and one more if you want an extra note of distinction. Five beans in the blend might work well but more than that seems unnecessary.“

  „Just in case you felt you needed more coffee machinery around your kitchen. Home coffee roasting is actually pretty easy, and takes hardly any time at all. Though it's possible to roast your coffee beans in the oven, in a frying pan or even a popcorn popper , having a proper roaster may be handy for the roasting novice.“
