CoffeeKid - More Adventures in CoffeeLand (#)
„I've been mainly roasting my own, and as always, I'm seeking the perfect chocolate blend - for me that means Yemen in the blend, but Yemen has been tricky this year. The most recent blend I've built was about 25% Yemen, 25% Colombian Excelso, 10% Haitian Jacmel (don't look for it, it can't be bought right now), 10% Costa Rica Tarrazu (La Minita), 10% Ethiopian Harrar, and usually 5% of high quality robusta (I have a couple to choose from) then either some Sulawesi or Monsooned Malabar. It's been good as straight espresso, but weak otherwise.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer
„Tyros and hobbyists picked up on this, and started the trend towards homeroasting coffee again. Companies like Melitta and others brought out "first generation" automated home roasting devices. They basically sucked - the Melitta roaster couldn't reach proper roasting temps, and was a likely a candidate for blowing up.“

„It also does fairly quick roasts, and is especially good for "brighter" coffees, as it brings out brightness, and tends to mellow body a bit. Viewing a roast is super easy - the roasting chamber is entirely visible. The HWP roasts using a patented air / fountain flow system, where beans are sent up from a central air vent area, hit a deflector plate, and are then sent off to the glass sides. The concave base of the roasting chamber eventually feeds these beans back to the middle, where the fountain process occurs again.“

CoffeeKid - Newbies' Guide to Coffee & Espresso Equipment
„Quality coffee and espresso is a serious, and I mean seriously serious sinkhole of funds, at least for start up costs. Down the road, you can save money (and boost your coffee quality) by home roasting, but that's for another section .“
