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.“

„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.“

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.“

„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.“

„First of all, to make good coffee you’ve got to have properly blended and roasted coffee beans. BuSandA takes care of this by supplying ships and stations with the finest blended and roasted coffee obtainable. Just to make certain it’s done right, the Navy operates its own coffee roasting plants.“

„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“
