  „However, in the process of its removal, coffee beans are subjected to considerable abuse, including (depending on the process) prolonged steaming and exposure to solvent or soaking in hot water and/or liquid CO2.

Just as it is easier to steer a rowboat than an ocean liner, it is much easier to roast smaller batches of coffee than large.“
