Tips on Coffee - Quality of coffee? (#)
„FactOnce you have freshly roasted and ground coffee, filtered water and equipment free of oil residues from the last brew, quality of beans makes a huge difference. NOTEA coffee can in the supermarket often contains a blend of Arabica and robusta beans while most coffee houses sell only arabica beans. Arabica beans are usually flavour rich, while robusta beans have more caffeine, less flavour and are cheaper to produce. When you buy coffee, whether in a coffee house or in a supermarket, you want to get 100% arabica, except for espresso blends, which are a combination of both. For freshness, in a coffee house it is better to buy popular blends that move fast, while in a supermarket vacuum packaged containers with expiry date are your best bet.“

„I love the Major for both espresso and drip, but really was excited about the forte for espresso. Here in Va the local coffee shops over roast(BURN)their beans. As always I had my freshly roasted beans in two days. I can highly praise the Forte roast and the awesome gang at Peets.“

„The process usually involves treating the freshly roasted beans with chemical flavourings (sometimes natural, and sometimes not). The fact that the coffee is processed with chemicals is a point against them. Since they are going to be treated anyway, quite often the beans are not of the highest quality and the roasting is haphazard. In other words, it may be a delicious drink, but it's still poor coffee.“

„The LaCimbali Dolcevita S/100 is an impressive looking machine. I don't think that it's being used to its full potential. I like to try a two ounce double with freshly roasted beans pulled on this beast.“

„The original location (there are two) is sparsely decorated with no-frills furnishings, but there is no doubt that this business is all about coffee roasting. Only the dumping of freshly roasted beans into the roaster's cooling tray interrupts the bustling espresso bar. The coffee roaster is the focal point of the café, and the roastmaster often cups coffees right before customers' eyes. Whole-bean coffees sales are strong, and the café has established a devoted consumer following.“

Why Home Roast? (INeedCoffee.com)
„Green, unroasted, coffee beans generally cost half the price of what you would pay for the same kind of bean roasted. If you are an avid coffee drinker, you can really save money by roasting your own. Furthermore, unlike homebrewing kits or bread machines, you don't have to make a large equipment investment.“
