Founded in 1999, CoffeeResearch.org was the first Web site dedicated to coffee education with comprehensive coverage on coffee, espresso , coffee brewing , coffee agriculture , coffee science, and the coffee markets. The research is the culimination of a year of travel studying coffee with the foremost experts around the world. Our intention is to improve coffee quality through education and research. This 300 page coffee Web site was developed as a platform to share our passion for specialty coffee. We recommend beginning your journey learning about coffee by learning about the agriculture of coffee since the harvesting and processing of coffee plays a major role in how coffee should be roasted and brewed. After learning about the coffee plant , we move to coffee grinding , brewing , and roasting .

The Coffees of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee: it is in the forests of the Kaffa region that grew wild. Coffee is "Bun" or "Buna" in Ethiopia, so Coffee Bean is quite possibly a poor anglicized interpretation of "Kaffa Bun". Coffea Arabica was also found in the Harar region quite early, either brought from the Kaffa forests or found closer by. It is entirely possible that slaves taken from the forests chewed coffee berry and spread it into the Harar region, through which the Muslim slave trade route passed.
Trying a sampler is the best way to get started home roasting. Especially if you are not sure what coffee to choose. We can not promise a particular origin in the sampler since we try to include a coffee from every coffee growing continent, and a range of processes. Samplers are a great value - if you ordered the same coffees ala cart from our list - you would spend 20 to 25% more! All the coffees in the samplers are the same quality as what we offer on the list - no bargain basement special.

Homeroaster Association - Roast Fresh Coffee at Home
Provide a non-commercial resource that enables the free-exchange of information via articles, postings and others forms of coffee-related communication in support of the home coffee roaster. Encourage local meetings that will support homeroasteres worldwide. Green coffee beans are roasted with constant stirring until they ‘pop’ twice. Roasters call these sounds ‘cracks.’
by Stefanie Spencer In the 1600's coffee made its way to Europe, first through the port of Venice, Italy. By sea it traveled, and traveled, and traveled some more. In the days before FedEx (can that even be imagined), people were eagerly waiting any new shipment and patient with the not-so-great shape some of the items. Monsooned coffee was born out of this unlikely situation.

Coffea arabica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coffea arabica ( / ə ˈ r æ b ɪ k ə / ) is a species of Coffea originally indigenous to the mountains of Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula , hence its name, and also from the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan . It is also known as the "coffee shrub of Arabia", "mountain coffee" or "arabica coffee". Coffea arabica is believed to be the first species of coffee to be cultivated, being grown in southwest Arabia for well over 1,000 years. It is said to produce better coffee than the other major commercially grown coffee species, Coffea canephora (robusta) , but tastes vary.
There's a grinder that's been around for awhile, and while the espresso newbie may think we're talking about a Sly Stallone movie when it is mentioned, most folks have heard of it: The Rocky grinder by Rancilio. Words like "time tested" and "built reputation" come easy when talking about the Rocky, so I felt a bit intimidated when the opportunity arose to review the grinder: could I give it a fair shake, knowing as much as I do, and having as much experience as I've had with this grinder? I came up with a solution.
