„A study of robusta and arabica coffees from six different countries showed that robusta samples contained significantly more reducing substances than arabica samples and that protective activity measured ex vivo was significantly greater in roasted samples than in green coffee (7). Using the ABTS•+ method (the gold standard), it was confirmed that light roast or medium roast coffee has a significantly higher antioxidant activity in vitro than green coffee (8). This difference was observed despite a 19% and 45% decrease in the chlorogenic acid content of light and medium roast coffee respectively implying that other compounds make significant contributions to the total antioxidant activity of roasted coffee. Melanoidins are brown polymers formed by the Maillard reaction during the roasting of coffee beans and account for up to 25% of the dry matter.“

The SCAE Awards for Coffee Excellence (#)

„David's passion for the perfect shot of espresso and his pursuit of creating coffee that tastes as good as it smells is truly inspiring to many of us in the coffee business. His scientific approach to water brew temperature and how it effects the extraction and his insistence on cleanliness & freshness techniques well beyond what many call normal along with his precise operational control of brewing factors is why David produces what is simply the best espresso based coffee's I have ever tasted. His passion for blending and roasting coffee's to match his production preaching that coffee creation is truly a cuisine and always attempting to produce the perfect naturally sweet shot make him a most deserving recipient of this award. There is simply nobody to ‘walk the talk’, quite like David, in US or Europe today. “

Coffee Cupping (#)

„Table Preparation: In a cupping session the table is usually set up with 6 to 10 cups per coffee.  These are fashioned in a triangular manner.  At the top of this triangle you should place a sample of the roasted coffee and a sample of the green coffee.  In the center of the table place a cup of room temperature water and an empty cup containing the cupping spoons. I heavily recommend covering both the green sample and roasted sample until the cupping session is over and the fragrance, aroma, and flavor profile have been documented. After this time the samples could be uncovered and additional comments can be written based on appearance.“

„This assigning of national names to coffee roasts is a bit arbitrary, but has some basis in fact. French roasters, particularly those in parts of Northern France, do roast coffee very darkly, justifying the epithet French for the very darkest roast style. And, very generally, southern Europeans roast their coffee darker than northern Europeans. I will leave the question of whether darkness of roast correlates to the relative intensity of nocturnal habits among the various nations of coffee drinkers to those who may want to consider the issue over their second cup of dark-roast coffee.“

Virtual Coffee: Update on Roasting at Home (#)

Now that the patent has expired, two machines are readily available to consumers who want to roast coffee the way they want it, when they want it (well, almost). Apparently there are also several other manufacturers of home appliances that have their own versions of consumer coffee roasters nearly ready for introduction to the marketplace.

International Coffee Organization (#)

„Whether the coffee was prepared by housewives at home, for sale in commercial outlets, or by individuals at work, the mean caffeine content was about 80 mg per cup (about 350 mcg per ml). The means for roast and ground coffee, both drip and percolator brewed, were below 85 mg; for instant coffee 71 mg. However, the range of measurements was so wide that, for most individuals, it would be inaccurate to use these figures as a basis for calculating the exact amount of caffeine consumed in a day. The size of the cup/serving varied from 25 ml (Greek coffee) to 330 ml at home and from 130 ml to 280 ml in the out-of-home situation.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Espresso's water-to-coffee contact time is short, leaving some of the caffeine molecules locked into the plant fibers. A darker roast also tends to reduce caffeine content (this topic really gets people excited on the coffee newsgroups!) Fine Arabica coffees contain one half of the caffeine found naturally in the cheaper Robusta beans that are used in supermarket coffees. (Using Robustas in espresso blends is another controversy that tweaks the regulars around the newsgroups.)     The results of chemical analysis performed by Lauk's Testing Labs in Seattle were recently posted at the LucidCafe Web site by David Schomer.“

Vournas gives the beans a light roast -- just after the second popping -- to accentuate the specific flavors of this rare coffee; a darker roast would obliterate the subtler flavors and replace them with a more generic taste. Vournas points out that this coffee, like most Indonesian-grown, has lots of moisture and roasts nicely.“

Coffee History - Learn about coffee... (#)

„It was three hours after landing and four hours before the historic walk that an astronaut on the Eagle spacecraft radioed Houston control to say, "If you excuse me a minute, I'm going to have a cup of coffee." It takes an entire year for a coffee tree to produce only 1.5 pounds of coffee. This represents approximately 2,000 handpicked cherries to result in one pound of roasted coffee as we know. Coffee became the national drink in 1773. At this time the colonists were so angered by King George's tax on tea that they responded with the Boston Tea Party and a strong allegiance to coffee.“

For the producer of dark-roast coffees, the lessons are clearer, I'm afraid: pick the right coffees for dark roasting (distinctive in flavor, sturdy in character, but not too sharply acidy), bring the roast along slowly, cool decisively, don't roast the coffee so dark that nothing whatsoever can save it, and, above all, relentlessly taste what you're sending out to your customers.“

„I recently tried out another fresh roaster here, whose product is half the price if a bit lacking in profile - but despite being a longstanding coffee roasting business their grinders produced a horrible mess (on a Ditting no less). I didn`t expect their grinder to have the same calibration as another Ditting, of course, but the variability in the product suggested extremely worn burrs which makes no sense for a dedicated business that _only_ sells roast coffee. I could only "salvage" it using my aging Braun burr grinder, if that tells you anything about how bad it was. “

CoffeeKid - My Top Five Coffee or Espresso Book Choices (#)

„This is one of my most recent books on coffee, but Tim Castle "gets it" in a big way and his talk in the book, while boastful, will boost your coffee and espresso ability just through the confidence the book exudes. After reading this too-short book, I had an irrisistable urge to roast coffee and brew espresso.“

:: Cold Coffee :: (#)

„Quite the opposite. After we blend and roast our filter coffees, the next step is to let them harden a little before grinding. Then we let the gases escape (up to 10 litres for every kilogram of coffee) – and finally it gets neatly packaged. Or at least, that’s how things used to be done.“
