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

„Although Alfred Peet may not have invented specialty coffee in the United States, only reinvented it, he certainly originated and pretty much perfected the contemporary American art of extreme dark-roasting, an art that, at its best, expands body and adds a pungent roastiness to the cup while more or less maintaining the distinctiveness of the green coffee. Starbucks adopted a less-extreme version of Alfred Peet's roasting style, popularized it, and by now every small roasting company in the country appears to have jumped on the dark-roast bandwagon. And, although Alfred Peet tells people that Peet's no longer roasts the way it did when he owned the company many years ago, John Weaver, a man whom Alfred Peet personally trained, would seem to be as close as we can get to the original potential of the American dark-roast style without trying to lure Alfred himself out of his woodsy retreat in North Berkeley.“

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

„I had better come up with some different reasons, because this month's collection of espresso blends from very small boutique roasters - some very, very small - suggest something else entirely. It suggests that smaller really is better, and that these little companies with their (I presume) hands-on approach to roasting and 20-bag lots of green coffee produce espresso blends as good or better than competing blends produced by any roasting company in the country, small, medium or gigantic. These blends were thoughtfully designed, tactfully roasted, and as subtly individualistic as their often quirky bag copy and websites. It revives one's faith in the original democratic vision of specialty coffee: a roasting machine in the back of the store, an individualistic roaster/owner in front, and all of it built around a love for coffee rather than a marketing plan.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Alpenrost Rotary Drum Home Coffee Roaster (#)

„It roasts from 2 to 8 ounces of coffee beans at a time, so it's possible to roast only as much as is needed for a day or for the week. (Roasted coffee beans lose their flavor and aroma fairly quickly; they are usually at their best within seven days of roasting.) The company also has a wide assortment of custom-blended and estate green coffee beans, including decaffeinated and organically grown, which means the it's easy to create a special blend and custom-roast it to an individual taste. The patented "Flow-Thru" ventilation keeps the machine cool to the touch throughout the roasting process, and it handles up to 15 different roast settings--just press a button and the machine roasts, cools, removes chaff, and expels the beans from the drum. Those green coffee beans stay fresh for two to three years, so buy in bulk now, and roast in mini batches all year long.“

We've Seen the Future..It's Organic! (#)

„His studies at UC Davis helped him design the Puroast process, which has its origins among roasters in the Andes. (Going back ever further, a process of slowly roasting beans over an open fire was used by early coffee drinkers in Arabia.) The company roasts its beans in sealed drums which are fueled by sawdust pellets, a renewable biomass fuel. Using this method, beans are shielded from burner gases which could deposit combustion residues on the beans. Further, biomass fuels are part of the carbon cycle, clean fuels which do not contribute to global warming.“

„ On the upside, your product names and blends can also be trademarked, as well as your processing methods, according to Paul Gilles, vice president of operations at Portland Roasting Company in Portland, Ore. "One of the [mistakes] that retail shops make is that they don't often consider that they really may succeed, so that one shop in their neighborhood may become a chain," says Gilles, who is an attorney and also has experience running his own coffee shops. "If you have a good concept, whether it be your shop name or whether you create your own product or a unique beverage folks should be, at a minimum, weighing the costs and benefits [of trademarking]."“

BBC News | The Company File | GM food bosses face roasting (#)

„Business: The Company FileGM food bosses face roastingDespite the healthy look UK consumers have doubts about GM foodThe bosses of one of the world's leading biotechnology companies, Monsanto, are facing a rough ride from their shareholders. The Chief executive of the US-based group, Robert Shapiro, is likely to face criticism at his company's annual general meeting for mishandling the debate over genetically modified (GM) foods in Europe. Missouri-based Monsanto spent heavily on publicity in the UK but appears to have lost the battle for the hearts and minds of consumers wary of genetically altered foods.“

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

„Returning to the theme of impact of roast on these winning coffees, readers of this month's reviews may notice that two of the prize-winning coffees - the El Salvador Montecarlos Pacamara Peaberry and the El Salvador Las Nubitas - are reviewed here in two versions, each offered by a different roasting company: Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea of Chicago and Stumptown Coffee Roasters of Portland, Oregon. Although I was gratified (and a little surprised, frankly) to discover that I had given the same coffee from each roaster the same rating (94 and 92), close readers will note that my sensory descriptions of these coffees differ in detail.“

Tea & Coffee 07/02 - Editor's Letter (#)

„When the Coops were researching a North American roaster for a partnership, they found similar qualities and characteristics in the operations and culture inherent at First Colony Coffee & Tea that their country posesses: they are a people rich in tradition, formality and protocol. The Coop sought to learn the operations of a roasting company, and then cultivate a coffee to accommodate specialty roasters. They wanted a closer tie with the end consumer and to produce a value-added product. Through this partnership, the Coops have learned about distribution channels and in developing specialty coffees for them.“

„Other companies are creating relationships in entirely different ways. Portland Roasting, a Portland, Ore., company known for its environmental and social choices, recently entered a unique relationship with a Guatemalan grower, Sandra Isabel Roche and Farm El Paternal. The partnership will result in a new roast water treatment facility on the coffee farm, as well as fair wages to the coffee growers, and increased coffee quality. "We care about things, so we've decided to do it ourselves," says Mark Stell, managing partner for Portland Roasting.“

„But if you ask these lucky people, most would say this is the best way to get to know all the ins and outs of the coffee industry. If you are starting your own business, whether it's a local café, a wholesale roasting company or an office coffee service business (OCS), a solid preparation is top priority. Successful entrepreneurs always know the relevant details of the business they are going to pursue. The difficulty, however, is that there is no formal education program for becoming a coffee professional.“

„Ureña’s background with Romania goes way back -- his father was a diplomat who represented Costa Rica in Romania, and Ureña himself spent many years studying there. Romania was also the site of an earlier business venture, a roasting company called Coffee Land Incorporated Srl. As Ureña became more involved in the SCAE, he presented the idea of a Romanian chapter to the group. On top of this large assignment, he also has been appointed as national coordinator for the Costa Rican SCAE chapter.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Espresso Blends, A "proper" roaster in Pittsburgh (#)

„This is a classic example about passion or the lack-there-of not running throughout the supply chain of a roasting company.Well, maybe...but my not-so-nice experience at Coffee Tree Roasters was at two different locations and on more than one time at each. You are correct that someone else can "mess up" a well intentioned and well provisioned business endeavor. However, there is an old saying about the fish (presumably a dead fish) starting to stink from the head.“

Tea & Coffee 06/02 - Man or Machine: Who’s the Better Roastmaster? (#)

„At least both sides claim to agree. The fact is, at some point in a roasting company’s growth, it becomes very difficult to keep the craft approach. By increments, systems become more automated and gradually, for financial reasons, the human operator is eliminated. In addition to losing their roastmaster, companies at this point also often lose the only person (the roastmaster) who could have helped them adjust and perfect as much as possible, the right automated roast profiles.“

BBC NEWS | Business | Why cheap beans don't make cheap coffee (#)

„So what happens after the coffee arrives in the UK? The importer, which is usually a major trading company, will then incur port and customs charges before the coffee moves to a large coffee roasting company. In the UK, where many people prefer instant coffee, the coffee beans go through a costly spray-drying or freeze-drying process. Alternatively, the coffee is roasted and ground to make filter coffee.“

Tips on Coffee - Did you know...? (#)

„In early America, coffee was usually taken between meals and after dinner. In the year 1790, there were two firsts in the United States; the first wholesale coffee roasting company, and the first newspaper advertisement featuring coffee. The prototype of the first espresso machine was created in France in 1822. By 1850, the manual coffee grinder found its way to most upper middle class kitchens of the U.S.A.“
