NCA IN YOUR CORNER: U.S. Puts Industry Stance in Play on Panama Trade Agreement - National Coffee Association (#)
„If preferential treatment exists only for products roasted using beans exclusively grown in the country of a signing party, very little U.S. roasted coffee, if any, would receive favorable treatment. The vast majority of U.S. roasted coffee uses proprietary blends developed with complex recipes that call for green beans from many countries.“

NCA Submits Comments Urging NAFTA Changes - National Coffee Association
„The NCA also asserts that NAFTA's unconventional rules of origin set a dangerous precedent for other trade agreements. Determining the origin of U.S. roasted coffee exclusively by where the beans are grown, as the NAFTA coffee origin rules do, ignores the substantial added value arising from processing, roasting and grinding. This restrictive rule effectively excludes U.S. coffee products from preferential NAFTA duties in Mexico, unnecessarily limiting expanded market access. That barrier, in turn, limits access of high-quality U.S. coffee products to Mexican consumers.“

Why Home Roast? (INeedCoffee.com)
„Green, unroasted, coffee beans generally cost half the price of what you would pay for the same kind of bean roasted. If you are an avid coffee drinker, you can really save money by roasting your own. Furthermore, unlike homebrewing kits or bread machines, you don't have to make a large equipment investment.“

„We sell our coffees at a significant discount to their roasted price. Our unroasted (i.e. "green") coffee beans often sell for half the price of comparable roasted coffees from commercial roasters“

„So, the next best way to store coffee is to store in roasted but whole bean form. Grinding your own beans is pretty simple, and will be worth the effort. Roasted whole bean will last 1 to 2 weeks, when stored at room temperature. You should keep it in an airtight container that blocks the light.“

„The bean designated for an espresso is roasted just slightly longer than regular coffee beans so that the rich oils in the coffee are brought to the surface the bean. It is a surprise to most people to learn that this dark roast contains less caffeine than lighter roasts because the espresso process, hot water passing swiftly through ground coffee, leaves more caffeine in the grounds and less in your demitasse.“
