CoffeeGeek - Coffee Awakenings (#)

  „Now, this brings us to my move back home, to Portland, Oregon. This is important, because it was in Portland that I discovered the amazing experience of Stumptown Coffee Roasters. I have explained how much I love coffee, but I was never obsessed with coffee until I first tasted Stumptown. The first café opened while I was away and it took a while for me to discover what I was missing.“

CoffeeGeek - Swissmar Alpenrost First Look

  „The Swissmar (website ) Alpenrost is a product that many home roasters and almost as many small professional roasters anticipated. Before it came to market, there was no viable half pound roaster available to the public for a price below $1,000, and the ones hovering around that price point were more often than not based on air roasting technology. The Alpenrost is a drum roaster, using electrical heating coils to do its job, and that made it highly desirable.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „   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.“

CoffeeGeek - Regional: United States West, Pacific NorthWest Roasters

  „I looked further into both Stumptown and Doma, however I might be using one of two which were not mentioned; Cuda Coffee or Bridgetown Coffee. I hope you are all aware of the quality products these two roasters have to offer. I havent made my final decision but Im leaning towards Cuda Coffee. Does anyone have any comments they'd like to share regarding Cuda Coffees?“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee companies under fire as millions face ruin

  „The “Big Four Roasters” are extremely profitable, with margins estimated at between 17% to 26% on billion-dollar coffee sales. However, Oxfam says their business strategy is increasingly risky. Coffee quality is falling because farmers don’t have the money to take care of their crops. The companies have made savings but have done next to nothing to help the poor farmers who find themselves at the wrong end of the corporate supply chain.“

CoffeeGeek - Bean There, Roasted That, Part One

  „ This is one of the most demanding tasks but can also lead to great excitement when an exceptional and unusual offering is discovered.  Very few small coffee roasters purchase beans directly from producers and when they do it is usually the result of personal relationships developed over a period of time.  Often the road from producer to roaster is a long one involving many middlemen and thousands of miles of transport.  Most coffee beans are bought from brokers or merchants who specialise in coffee.“
