IndiaCoffee - Indian Coffee, monthly magazine - Kaapi Shastra fires up roasters (#)
„The high point of the course was an excursion to a roasting factory - hallowed grounds for roasters! The course also took them on visits to coffee pubs to watch baristas spin their magic, and they had some fun too, in practical sessions that involved competition. Some of them loved getting their hands onto the Cimbali espresso machine, installed at the Coffee Quality Evaluation Centre at the Coffee Board, and actually pulling a shot!“

Indiacoffee - Indian Coffee, Monthly magazine - Cover Story - The Art of Roasting: The Probat Way
„In my opinion the last 20 years has seen an upward trend in the roasting business. Till such time as coffee marketing was being carried out by the Coffee Board, the established roasters continued to carry out their business, with no new entrants entering the arena of R&G business. No new entrants were interested in this business as they had to compete with the established brands in procuring coffee through the Coffee Board. Today, with the coffee market being liberalised and coffee being available with greater ease and also since the grower can not only grow coffee, but also function as a curer/trader/exporter and roaster, many new roasting units have been established.“

„The secret to unlock it's unique character lies in the roasting technique. Only when roasting temperature and timing is precisely right for a specific variety of coffee bean, can the full flavour and aroma of coffee unfold completely. Rightly has it been said "roasting is one part art, one part science and several parts judgement". It is a consummate skill and our issue this month is a tribute to the roaster who we see as the central figure, indeed, the torch -bearer in our campaign to promote domestic consumption of coffee.“
