Global Exchange : What Price Virtue? At Some Retailers, 'Fair Trade' Carries A Very High Cost (#)
„The fair-trade minimum price, which hasn't changed since 1988, is $1.26. Dean Cycon, chief executive of Dean's Beans, a wholesale coffee roaster in Orange, Mass., says it generally costs farmers about 60 cents a pound to produce coffee.“

„“I was always too small to buy directly from growers,” said Dean Cycon, owner of Dean’s Beans and member of Cooperative Coffees, who has helped start five other roasting businesses and intends to keep his business small. “I don’t want to be the Ben & Jerry’s of coffee.” Cooperative Coffees allows Cycon to stay committed to his personal business philosophy and still know whom he is buying from. “It’s all about eye-ball to eye-ball respect between people doing business.”“

„Many variables affect each roast. Beans from different regions require different techniques, and every nuance of weather affects a roast. Only a highly trained roaster can monitor air temperature and humidity, and make adjustments for the desired results. To guarantee quality, Peet's roasters sample each batch of coffee to make sure the roast tastes right.“

„When you say oven...you mean roaster right? First of all a dark roast should be done before 30 mins....way before...my dark roasts take around 21-22 mins...if you are roasting your beans for 30 mins you are baking the coffee...start your roast at a higher temp...but if you didn't mean roaster and you did mean oven I can't help ya.“

Roasting Less Than 8 oz. In the Alpenrost: Home Coffee Roasting: Sweet
„Experienced roaster/operators can use the Alpenrost to test smaller samples of green beans by doing a "manual roast." This technique will allow the roaster to roast in smaller quantities (IE: 125gr. /4oz.) rather than the “recommended 225gr. /8oz.“
