We attempt to achieve the 'perfect point' for roasts on coffee. That means that every varietal of coffee will be roasted to the point needed to highlight the characteristics of the coffee. We hope to add more info on the roast profile in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please give us feedback. 'Perfection' can always be improved!

Yes, home roasting was common place in many parts of the world up until the 1950's. Green beans can be roasted in three ways: (1) in the oven on a cookie sheet at 450¡F/ 230¡C for 12 to 15 minutes; (2) on the stove top in a pan at medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes; and (3) in an electric home coffee roasting appliance. In methods 1 and 2, the beans must be continuously stirred or shaken to prevent burning.

Roast only what you can use within a week. Store the roasted whole bean then grind only enough beans to use just before you prepare your coffee. Each roaster will roast a different amount of beans so you may roast more frequently depending on your choice.

You use the dough cycle. All bread machines seem to have one. And if your machine is designed to produce a 2 pound loaf of bread, there should be more than enough time on the dough cycle to roast your coffee. If you use a bread machine with a short dough cycle (fewer than 20 minutes or so), try stopping the machine at 5 or 6 minutes, well before first crack, for a few seconds. The cycle should reset, and then you can start again.

A typical home roast takes about 10 minutes, plus five minutes of cooling. Lighter roasts can take as little as 8 minutes, darker roasts 13 minutes or more.

Yes. Stop by our corporate facilities in Tampa and we will give you a tour of our roasting plant. You can even sample our award winning coffees. Our roaster is the only one like it in the Southeast United States.

There are a few things you want to watch for when choosing a bread machine to use as a coffee roaster. You want an all metal stirring assembly and you want the bottom of the pan to be solid. Some bread machines have plastic pieces holding the stirring thing-a-ma-bob in place, and the heat gun could melt the plastic. Do not use any bread machine that has a plastic stirring assembly or if the receptacle in which the pan sits is plastic, rather than metal.

Green coffee beans typically cost less than half as much as roasted beans, and very often one quarter as much. Home roasting not only provides vastly superior coffee, it provides substantial savings. For more information on the economics of home roasting, click here.

The manner in which a coffee is roasted can bring out the complexity of flavors, or obscure them. Lighter roasts enhance the acidity and varietal characteristics of a coffee, giving a bright clear taste. As the roast darkens, the body becomes fuller, and only the most distinct varietal characteristics remain; for the best coffees, this results in a complex and pleasing taste. At the darkest roasts, the coffee takes on a full bodied bittersweet richness.

Comparing same blends and same cup size, there is more caffeine in a prepared cup of roast and ground coffee than in a prepared cup of instant coffee.

Generally, the darker any variety is roasted, the heavier and stronger tasting it will be in the cup. The purpose of roasting is to extract the flavor out of the coffee. When roasted to extremes, coffee will taste burnt.

Always grind coffee fresh just before you use it. Whole beans' natural protection against staling is destroyed when they're ground. Roasting coffee at home can be fun - but messy. Several home roasting devices are marketed, but a professional roaster can produce better results, without contest.

You will need a bread machine, a heat gun, a fan or other cooling device, a pot-holder or heat resistant mitt for lifting the bread pan out of the bread machine housing, a colander or wire basket in which to dump the beans, and a fire extinguisher (just in case). This is an outdoor activity. Roasting coffee produces lots of smoke and lots of blowing (and sometimes glowing) chaff. Do not do this indoors.

Electric popcorn poppers don't have all the conveniences of our home roaster units but they do the job and do it well, whether you like a light or a dark roast. Roasting with popcorn poppers is simple and eliminates the expense of a new roaster. This kind of roasting has other advantages, too: It lets you experience the various phases of coffee roasting ? the "first crack" as moisture leaves the bean, the change in color as the bean roasts.

Always allow roast to rest for 10 to 15 minutes after cooking before slicing. Cover loosely with a dome of aluminium foil.

If you wish, you may use low-fat or skim milk or small amounts of half and half in your coffee or tea. You may also use artificial sweeteners such as Equal if desired.

Green beans contain the highest quantity of caffeine. Robusta beans contain twice as much caffeine as arabica beans. Dark roasted beans contain less caffeine than light roasted beans.

Green beans are soaked in hot water to draw out the caffeine. After soaking, the water is drained off and treated with methylene chloride, a solvent that binds with the caffeine. The solvent and caffeine are removed by heating the solution and the remaining water is returned to the beans and reabsorbed. The green beans are then roasted at temperatures above 400 F and since methylene chloride evaporates at 100 F, there is no trace remaining in the finished product.

Contra Café is 100% Arabica coffee that is shade-grown in the highlands of Nicaragua's Jinotega region. We are proud to offer Contra Café in two versions. Our medium roast has a mild and sweet flavor, while our dark roast has an intense smoky and toasted flavor. You'll find both roasts to be rich and full in profile. The medium roast will highlight more of the tastes unique to these particular farms and this particular growing region of Nicaragua.

The I-Roast is set with higher temperature, and that's why people may find the roasting results from Preset1 and Preset2 to be on the darker side. This is to make sure you can get dark roast first. You can always reduce the time or decrease the temperature to get your desired roasting result. If you think your roast cannot roast dark, first check the input power, it is rated at 120V with 1500W. Then it may be due to cold environment.

Yes. The quality of Penta water does not change when the water is cooled or warmed. We do recommend that Penta water be consumed at room temperature for maximum benefit. Penta water makes excellent coffees and teas. Our word of wisdom to you: Choose a juice (preferably made with Penta water) before you drink a coffee or tea.

When it comes to coffeemakers, there is a wide gap between different customer requests. On the one hand, demand for fully automatic â??bean-to-cupâ?? coffeemakers with milk solutions is rising. On the other hand, customers ask for semi-automatic coffeemakers. With its wide product range, Tchibo Coffee Service is able to respond to both trends equally. Customers request high-quality machines with good value for their money, including technical maintenance.

Yes. The zeolite in liquid zeolite is unaffected by temperatures under approximately 900°F (480°C).

One should always store coffee beans in a glass, air tight container. Air is coffee's principle enemy. Glass is best because it doesn't retain the odors of the beans or the oils, which could contaminate future beans stored in the same container. However, if you use glass, make sure the container is not exposed to light, as sunlight is believed to reduce freshness. What is a French Press/Cafetiere/Bodum French presses are usually glass containers with a wire mesh attached to a plunger.

In the beginning heating up stage, the I-Roast will have low motor RPM (low air flow) most of the time together with the highest heating power in order to reach the setting temperature as quickly as possible. And because the beans are green and cold in the beginning, they can resist the heat better than later stage. If the RPM is always at the high level, it may never be able to reach your setting temperature at a given heating power.

Quickly seal the beef on all sides and then slowly brown all sides in a heay pan and a little olive oil. Season beef as desired, salt toward the end of cooking process. Cover tightly and simmer gently over low heat on top of range, or in a preheated 325F oven until beef is fork-tender.

Yes. There is no permit required when using a commercial pig roaster. Fires over 9 square feet or greater than 3 foot by 3 foot for cooking require a permit from the Fire Prevention Bureau. Also consider your neighbors and advise them you will be burning wood for a roast.
