Coffee and Cafés of Amsterdam (#)

„You enter into a well designed space which articulates its focus on coffee in every conceivable way - from a charmingly drawn mural of world-wide coffee production covering an entire wall to the appetising variety of beans in great see-through containers affixed behind the counter and the brilliant collection of exotic coffee paraphernalia displayed on glass enclosed shelves like a museum exhibition. In the rear of the shop a miniature coffee roaster fills the room with a seductive fragrance that sets the tone for a smallish café in the back. The drinks are expertly made by well-trained staff and consumed by regulars who know their coffee and are delighted to find a place like this in which to drink it. But the heart of Brandmeester's operation is downstairs which is where the packing and shipping of the coffee, equipment and supplies is consigned for their growing European mail-order business.“

HotTop Drum Coffee Roaster $585 Hot Top Coffee Roaster (#)

„(A Salter Scale is a recommended add-on!The perforated drum has a spiral wire (blue arrow) and agitator fins in it to keep coffee tumbling during the roast. Roasts results are very even in the HotTop.The roast curve of the HotTop is very similar to my commercial Probat L12 roaster, but preset burner control makes for slower roast times, ideal for espresso and (as I discovered) surprisingly good for the lighter roasts too.The drum is perforated to allow chaff to fall into the collection tray, which is easily removed for cleaning between roasts.Front view of the HotTop. The cooling tray pulls air downward through the coffee and works well! (see my HotTop roast curve chart)The automatic settings will produce the same degree-of-roast if you are starting with a cool roaster each time, but I advocate setting it at 7 and using the Eject button to stop roasting.The HotTop controls are fully automated (well, it beeps at you to dump the coffee in after the preheat cycle).“

„Yet many farmers and hired laborers live in abject poverty. As president of Peace Coffee (www.peacecoffee.com), an organic coffee roaster and distributor located in Minneapolis, Minn., Patterson hopes to change the marketplace so that farmers in developing countries won't have to struggle against such dire conditions. By awakening consumers to the stories behind the lattes they drink every day and giving coffee beans a human face, he hopes to persuade shoppers to choose blends grown under conditions in which farmers have a chance to make a decent living. "Recognizing that coffee doesn't just end up in our cup in the morning, that it is a lifestyle to someone else, is key to Peace Coffee's purpose and success," says Patterson, 32.“

„To snake down the mountain packed in the bed of a truck, holding on to the railings but crashing into your fellow coffee colleagues anyway, just to see where the coffee is milled. To walk amongst the trees, on the soil that feeds the cherries, to talk from dawn to, well, dawn on some nights, about roaster capacities and blends, and to argue about the correct pressure with which to tamp espresso - these can be the best moments in a roaster’s professional life, and the ones that feed us and remind us of the fact that coffee can be and is sacred. This is the beverage that has fuelled prayer, revolution, hard physical work and study. It is also a product that demands a tremendous amount from the skilled hands and muscles that send it to our facilities and, in many cases, for too little in return.“

Kopi Luwak (#)

„The green beans, which range from tiny to elephant, have a faint smell that hints of a zoo or stables -- a little funky, not your average coffee aroma. He lightly roasts about 21 grams, enough beans for three cups, in a Jabez Burns two barrel sample roaster, a rare and beautiful machine dating from the '30s. 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.“

Caffe Rosto Home Coffee Roaster $136 : Caffé Rosto CR120 from Brightway (#)

„Bean size and mass will affect the amount you can roast. It also affects the degree of roast - less coffee actually roasts lighter since more hot air blows by the green coffee and out of the roaster. So whatever you do, once you are getting the roast you like, keep the batch size consistent We like the development of the body and the roast flavors of the darker roasts from this machine, but find that the latest model (which features are more powerful motor and updated heating coil) do a great job with the full range of roasts. Remember, the roaster's surfaces are quite hot during the roast cycle -do not touch!“

„The Hottop is a drum coffee roaster, designed for home use, with a manufacturer's recommended batch size of 250g of green beans per roast. This also makes it the highest-capacity (commercially manufactured) home roaster by a small margin, as the Alpenröst is specified to take a batch size of 225g. The Hottop is electrically powered, both for heating and drum rotation - no gas here, unlike in professional sample roasters. It is also computer controlled - at the time of writing it is the only shipping home roaster with a built in roasting profile (temperature over time).“

Coffee Roasts: Notes from a Non-Roaster (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), in an effort to add some uniformity to the industry, has put out a roast color chart. But that doesn't affect the brand new roaster who knows what they used to drink in a little Café in France and starts roasting a medium dark French Roast, nor does it affect the old time family-owned roaster who never even heard of the SCAA. If they have a coffee that has been their Italian Roast for 50 years, then it doesn't matter if the proper name of said roast on the SCAA chart is French or Viennese or Full City or whatever, it's still Italian Roast to them. So the confusion isn't likely to dissipate soon.“

Ten Steps To Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„This process is referred to as 'cupping' and usually takes place in a room specifically designed to facilitate the process. First, the taster -- usually called the cupper -- carefully evaluates the beans for their overall visual quality.  The beans are then roasted in a small laboratory roaster, immediately ground and infused in boiling water, the temperature of which is carefully controlled. The cupper "noses" the brew to experience its aroma, an integral step in the evaluation of the coffee's quality. After letting the coffee rest for several minutes, the cupper "breaks the crust" by pushing aside the grounds at the top of the cup.“

Essential to brewing a great cup of coffee are the following important steps: Make sure you're using clean, fresh water every time. Clean your brewing equipment regularly and if your machine is equipped with a water filter, change regularly. Select the correct grind of coffee for your machine.“

„I wonder if I should send the manufacturer a bill for all the wasted coffee I've gotten from this roaster, because of the failing drum and because you cannot prolong the roast more than a minute or so past the "maximum" (ie, you can't manually extend the roast beyond four clicks of a "plus" button on the roaster, which adds between 5 and 10 seconds to the roast). Not counting the lost Kopi, I've lost probably $100+ worth of coffee on this roaster. With the Kopi? It doubles.“

ACHA is installing a new solvent extraction roaster (extracts hexane from flour and emission gases) that will reduce hexane loss to 0.5-0.8 l/ton , well below the industry standard. Supplemental monitoring data, which is required to define current status, will be submitted in for ambient air quality and process emissions.“

Hawaii Coffee Association (#)

„An oversupply of coffee has driven prices to lows and quality is also going down as a result. Roasters are reporting that quality of coffee from Columbia is below standards for roasting as farmers are not able to put proper inputs into the coffee. Recommendation has been made to diversify to other crops in Colombia. Minimum quality standards are difficult to discuss at the NCA due to anti-trust issues.“

Website Document (#)

„Heine Brothers' Coffee started in 1992 as an espresso cart in an east Louisville grocery. We roasted our beans three pounds at a time in a coffee roaster the size of a large mailbox. Our idea was to sell the world's finest coffees fresh out of the roaster to others as passionate about outstanding coffee as we were.“

Hawaii Coffee Association (#)

„We would need 1-3 full time employees and a 10 million dollar line of credit to purchase green coffee. A second option is to have a member procure the contract and buy the coffee who would then subcontract to other roasters and then pay a “finders fee” to the HCA. 5 million pounds is the projected amount of sales of roasted coffee with 1 million pounds of green 3X being used.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„   These days, small business owners get continually harassed with propositions of all types. Make it clear that you can be of great help to the roasting company by becoming a backup roaster operator. Hopefully you will find a roastmaster willing to accept you as an apprentice. In all cases, be smart and humble—coffee professionals usually have good hearts but large egos.“

Espresso Tutorial Chapter 5 - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„What does this mean for me, the average home consumer? The short answer is: If you are new to home espresso, find a local coffee roaster who is capable of grinding your coffee to your exact specifications and buy a few days supply at a time. Coffee fact: ground coffee is only fresh for a few hours if left in the open air. If you select this option, buy a steel canister with a latching top.“

CoffeeKid - What Happened to Maui Moka (#)

„Ed Needham, a fellow home roaster, recently visited the Kaanapali Estate on Maui, in Hawaii, spent some time with James Falconer, the Vice President of the Estate and currently the caretaker of the "remains" of the farm. It's pretty much gone to seed, with a lot of weed growth and even though the trees are still producing cherries at enormous rates, no one is cropping the beans.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„In the cup, full-city and associated roast styles are less acidy and smoother than the traditional American "medium" roast, but may display fewer of the distinctive taste characteristics of the original coffee. Among many newer American specialty roasters, roast styles once called full-city, Viennese, etc. may constitute the typical, "regular" roast of coffee.“

„On Sunday we packed up, left our bags at the hotel and went down to the Atwater MarcheI love the Atwater market, as it is a little bit of home. I went straight to the Aux Quatre Vents, where they have a Petroccini roaster right up front. I have been here 6 to 8 times but I have yet to see them roasting. I really enjoy the latte and the atmosphere.“
