About Sweet Marias

Preview of some results in this category:

„His stay of two years, he recalls, involved duties which "were practically nil" -- "Oxford is, without a doubt, one of the cities in the world where least work gets done, where simply being is far more important than doing or even acting." Yet so much goes into that simply being: friendship, opinion-mongering, one-upmanship, finicky exchanges of favors, gossip, adultery, book-collecting, back-patting, back-stabbing. Marias has a sweet tooth for eccentricity, and his novel "crackles with deliciously sly observations of Oxford mores," as James Woodall noted in the Independent. And yet further, All Souls is a story of love within "a mysterious narrative," as The New Statesman noted, within "a turmoil of choreographical stories."“

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

„It's out of print officially, but the SCAA (www.scaa.org ) has done a reprint by photographing a mint original donated by Don Schoenholt to the organization. It isn't cheap: about $100, but Sweet Marias (linked above) sells it for $90. This book was the be all, end all of coffee knowledge in 1935 when it was published, and in many ways continues to be that way today. It's often refered to as the "bible" of the world of coffee, and I believe it.“

CoffeeKid - About this Site (#)

„CoffeeKid became what it was because back in 1997, there weren't many sites online that had good information about coffee and espresso. Even back then, the venerable Sweet Marias didn't have a proper website - at least not one at the current domain name. Trying to find info on home roasting, espresso, or my machine of choice in those days (Rancilio Silvia) was an exercise in futility.“

„Could not agree more pan_man. Tom and the crew at Sweet Marias are a top resource for not only home roasters, but newbies keen to learn more about coffee. The offerings section has detailed cupping notes that should be useful to you. You can even buy roasted beans from Tom...then cup them at home with the notes to help you out with identifying characteristics in the cup.“

CoffeeGeek - Solis Mulino - Scott Jensen's Review (#)

„I bought it to use with a Solis Espresso machine, but it just could not grind fine or consistant enough for espresso. There is a modification you can do- details on the Sweet Marias site- that allows it to grind finer, but even after doing the mod I was still disapointed. I actually had to give up on espresso untill I bought a better grinder.“

CoffeeKid - Christmas Comes Early to the CoffeeKid Household (#)

„Actually, pretty much every coffee Brian carries is a first star choice. He doesn't offer the range and breadth of cupping notes that Tom from Sweet Marias does, but Brian knows his coffee. He's a small business owner who is really trying to make a difference, and I cannot think of a better guy to do business with if you're in the home roasting hobby.“

CoffeeGeek - Seeking the Perfect Chocolate Espresso Blend (#)

„Keep in mind these are all intensity ratings for espresso, not quality or preference ratings. I have used two sources for these beans, Sweet Marias , denoted as SM; and Orleans Coffee Exchange , denoted at OCE, but I should note that many of these beans are available from both places as well as other high quality green bean resellers.“

CoffeeGeek - Alpenrost Roaster - Dave Nolan's Review (#)

„I bought from Sweet Marias and it came with 8 lbs. of beans for the price I paid, which I viewed as an excellent deal Though I've bought many things from them, I've never really had any problems, so I haven't really had to deal with customer service in any meaningful way. I'm quite happy with them over-all.“

Stovetop Roasting with the Whirley-Pop (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„Without a temperature reading you are roasting blind and will have no idea if you're burning or baking the beans. Sweet Marias sells a Whirley-Pop 6 Quart stovetop popcorn popper with a 550° F Pelouze thermometer already attached. They also sell the thermometer by itself so you can modify any exisiting Whirley-Pop.“

CoffeeKid - Home Roasting Coffee (#)

„When I first wrote a home roasting page back in 1998, I was a neophyte. I had a popcorn popper, and a lot of internet advice, and supplies from the online Mecca of home roasting, Sweet Marias and Thom Owen, its proprietor. But once I tried it, I knew I would never give it up.“

„If I am to expand, I'll need better bulk supply. The great thing about sweet marias is that they test cup each lot and let you know what they believe the bean can handle. It would be really great to find that kind of data from a wholesaler.“
