CoffeeKid - So much news, it will make your eyes bulge (#)
„from Down East Coffee company (1-888-224-2233), mentioned above in the Jacmel story, also recently sold me 5lbs of coffee from Cuba. I've roasted up 454grams so far (two batches in the Alpenrost), and the short and sweet is, it has a very unique taste, but is a bit soft, mainly because they simply don't have the altitude in Cuba like they do in Haiti, Jamaica, etc etc. The Extra Turquino is probably the island's second best bean - there is a Crystale bean that is supposed to be WHAM! But it's priced higher than most Hawaiians, and is very hard to come by.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer
„One of these three roasters is still around: the Alpenrost, or the "Alp" as most people refer to it. It has its problems - an anemic cooling cycle, the inability to view your roast as it progresses, and unpredictable levels of roasts at times, but by and large, it's a great roaster, albeit pricey at $300 or so average price.“

CoffeeKid - July Musings and Detailed Reviews
„Long Wearing out of this current crop of machines, the Alpenrost (supplied by Swissmar ) is easily the longest wearing machine of the bunch. I've put about 180lbs (370 roasting sessions) of coffee through this thing, and while it isn't performing at top ability today, it's holding up well. Two things that went on the unit - the display panel's LED counter has one of the bars not working, so 8 looks like a 9, etc.“

„Basically, I want to bring out a particular coffee bean which is very expensive, grind it and press it in front of them. The purhcase of the coffee is of roasted whole bean and it has a very unique story similar to that of Kopi Luwak. I want the customer to savour the different aromas that emanate during grinding, brewing/pressing as well as to appreciate the cup.“

„Beans begin to oxidize almost immediately which in turn damages them. This means that beans capable of producing great crema a day after they were roasted might produce no crema at all 7 days after they were roasted (and kept in less any environment that contains oxygen, including your sealed tight jars). Fresh beans are key - and keep them whole until just before you want to brew. Don't pregrind - grind only seconds before you pull your espresso shot.“
