HOW GREEN COFFEE BEAN PROCESSING AFFECTS FLAVOR

This was originally published on our website. To check out more of our content, visit [https://sonofresco.com/how-green-coffee-bean-processing-affects-flavor/]

At Sonfresco, we offer a variety of green coffee beans for sale in an effort to cater to a wide variety of tastes. As you browse our green coffee product descriptions, you will notice that each coffee has “Processing Method” listed as one of its features. While every coffee is different, the way it is processed can be one of the most important indicators of its characteristics. So what kind of processing methods are there? And how does green coffee bean processing affect the coffee’s flavor?

Washed Process

The washed process is the most common type of green coffee processing, and is practiced all over the world. Using this method, the coffee cherry is de-pulped, and then water is used to wash the fruit of the coffee away from the green coffee beans inside before they are laid out to dry. This process is regarded as invisible – it allows the regional flavors of the coffee and the cultivar to shine through. Washed process coffees are higher in acidity and lighter in body.

Natural Process

The natural process is the oldest green coffee processing method, and is still popular in dry areas with abundant sunlight, such as Ethiopia. Using this method, the coffee cherry is dried whole, with the green coffee bean still inside. Once the fruit is completely dry, it is hulled away to reveal the bean inside (and can be used to make cascara tea). Natural process coffees taste fruity – like the coffee cherry itself, and have a heavier body and lower acidity.

Wet-hulled Process

The wet-hulled process is a method that is specific to Indonesian coffees, and used to keep green coffee from spoiling in the region’s hot, humid environment. Using the wet-hulled method, the coffee cherry is de-pulped, but no water is used. The protective skin around the green coffee bean (normally removed once the coffee is completely dry) is removed half way through the drying process. Wet-hulled coffees usually have asavory, earthy flavor with heavy body and low acidity.

Which processing method is best you ask? It depends on your preference! Looking for sparkling acidity and clean, crisp flavor? Choose a washed coffee like our Guatemala Café Feminino Naualá. Craving a sticky, sweet fruit bomb fit for dessert? A natural process coffee like our Ethiopian Sidamo  is a great choice. Is your taste more savory and complex? A wet-hulled coffee might be your best bet – try our Sumatra Mandheling, you won’t be disappointed. Sonofresco offers a variety of premium green coffee beans for sale utilizing each of the said processing methods, giving you the opportunity to buycoffees that you truly enjoy.

For further information about the green coffee beans that we offer, please visit www.Sonofresco.com or contact one of our expert roasters at 866.271.7666 with any questions.

PROFILES IN COFFEE FLAVOR AND CULTURE

This was originally published on our website. To check out more of our content, visit [https://sonofresco.com/profiles-in-coffee-flavor-and-culture/]

The Coffee in Your Cup is a Portal to its Origin. Let’s visit Brazil.

These days, our agricultural products can seem to magically appear on the shelves, on your plate, or in your cup, but we can improve our appreciation if we get know the journey they take to reach you. Coffee, like wine, tells a rich story, due to the variety of origins and roasts. In addition, the industry has developed a strong network of organic, family-owned, fair-trade businesses. Yet coffee only grows in the tropics, so most of us can’t visit our local coffee growers at the farmer’s market.

So let’s take a journey down to Brazil to meet the people and the homeland of one of Sonofresco’s coffee varieties – Brazil Cerrado.

The Land

This coffee is grown in the Cerrado Mineiro region in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. While not as famous as its neighboring Amazon Rainforest, the greater Cerrado is South America’s second-largest biome, a lush plateau spanning five states and 21% of Brazil’s land mass. The Cerrado rivals the Amazon in size and also biodiversity, as home to many species of plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. It is a tropical savanna with rich soil. Being high-altitude and semi-rocky, the soil drains well (helping coffee crops) during the wet season from November to March. These beans are harvested between May and September, which is “winter” in the southern tropics, a cooler and drier time. They produce a smooth, chocolatey coffee flavor with no sharpness or acidity.

In this region, coffee growers cultivate a variety of the Arabica tree called Catuaí, a hybrid of Typica and Bourbon trees (both originally from to the Middle East) that was developed in 1949 in the Brazilian city of Campinas. At that time, the coffee industry was beginning to boom in Brazil and other tropical-climate countries. It is an extremely important part of the economy there, and has led to the formation and rapid growth of many cities since the 1950s.

The People

You can’t know a coffee until you know the people behind its cultivation. As this region began to develop in coffee agriculture in the 1970s, family farms formed cooperatives. Today, seven distinct cooperatives form the Cerrado Coffee Growers Federation. The seven cooperatives remain independent, while the Federation represents them internationally. Together they produce over half of the coffee from the Cerrado Mineiro region.

Back Home

Now let’s return to your coffee shop. Take another sip. Does it taste any different?

We recognize there is a new identity of coffee that is emerging within our culture and we want our customers to have the tools to realize their own success. This series will explore what it means to be an independent coffee roaster in this new movement and share what we have learned to build a dynamic, growing business in this evolving coffee community.

New Studies Boost Popularity of Coffee Roasting Machines

This was originally published on our website. To check out more of our content, visit [https://sonofresco.com/new-studies-boost-popularity-coffee-roasting-machines/]

Coffee roasting machines have always had a great deal of appeal to purists and entrepreneurs that want to start their own coffee businesses. However, there has been a lot of talk about the health benefits of coffee recently because of the results of two new studies. As it turns out, if you drink more coffee, you will live a longer life.

Information about one of the studies was originally published in the Annals of Internal Medicine website, but the data was subsequently spread to many other outlets, including CNN. The researchers surveyed over half a million people from a number of different countries in Europe, and they concluded that coffee consumption reduced the risk of death. We are all aware of the fact that coffee roasting machines produce delicious beverages, but who knew that they can also increase lifespans?

The second study that was conducted is equally compelling. It also appeared on the Annals of Internal Medicine site and it was funded in large part by the American Cancer Association. Over the years, researchers have compiled statistics with regard to the health benefits of coffee consumption by Caucasian people. Information about coffee use by nonwhites was limited, so this study focused on people of color. It found that individuals who consumed 16 to 32 ounces of coffee daily had a death risk that was 18 percent lower than people who abstain from coffee drinking.

We have always known that our coffee roasting machines can enhance lives, but it now appears as though they can prolong them as well. Our units are versatile workhorses that are built to withstand the test of time, and they are all produced in the United States of America. These coffee roasting machines are intuitive to operate, and they can produce batches that can satisfy the needs of businesses of all sizes. If you would like to obtain more information about our state of the art coffee roasting machines please visit https://sonofresco.com/premier-coffee-roasters or you can reach Sonofresco directly at 866-271-7666 with any questions.

Fairtrade Green Coffee Beans Help Sustain Lives

This was originally published on our website. To check out more of our content, visit [https://sonofresco.com/fairtrade-green-coffee-beans-help-sustain-lives/] 

Green beans, not referring to the vegetable, is an entirely different way of thinking about and purchasing coffee. It’s become second nature for a lot of people to automatically check if the food or beverages they are buying are organic, but not everybody knows there are more options you should be taking into consideration when it comes to conserving the world’s resources.

Another factor to consider when purchasing your green coffee beans is fair trade .With over millions of people who have employment that somehow ties to the coffee industry, it is important to purchase your coffee from farmers who feature either the Fairtrade America label. This guarantees that the majority of these workers and the communities they live in receive fair pay and treatment, and it excludes child labor. It’s easy to forget that not all areas of the world have the same workers’ rights in place, so it is up to everyone to help make a difference when they can.

Other items to look out for include whether the green coffee beans are shade-grown. It used to be common practice to cut down acres upon acres of the rainforest to make room for growing coffee beans. These days, a lot of farms have switched over to shade-grown coffee, where the plants thrive in areas still covered by tall trees. This preserves wildlife habitats and conserves water. Another thought that is easily overlooked is whether your coffee beans are grown in areas that affect migratory patterns of birds. Obviously, cutting down trees destroys the homes of birds, causing problems when moving for the seasons.

Over the years, it has become more common practice for major producers of coffee products to start using organic and fair-trade products. Consumers had voiced their opinions over this issue and the corporations listened. This just goes to show you how when each person speaks up for what they believe in, their message can make a huge difference when united with other people across the globe. Sonofresco green coffee beans for sale are from Fairtrade America supported farms that produce top quality coffee beans that not only enhance your cup of joe experience but give back at the same time.

Tips to Start Your Coffee Roasting Business

This was originally published on our website. To check out more of our content, visit [https://sonofresco.com/tips-start-coffee-roasting-business/]

Operating a successful independent coffee shop requires careful business planning. It also requires the right equipment, especially a top gear coffee roaster that makes it possible to brew high quality coffee to meet demand. Finally, selecting the right coffee to roast to satisfy your customers’ discerning palates is key to carving out a niche in a crowded field.

The following tips will help to maximize the chances of your business’ success by ensuring you are well-equipped to roast high-quality coffee with the very best equipment available.

1.Essential Features of a Roasting Machine

A roaster must allow for the creation of varying time-temperature profiles to bring out the flavors of each type of bean being roasted. Advanced Definition Roasting Technology available on Sonofresco’s Profile Coffee Roaster allows for the creation of custom roast profiles based on coffee type and taste preferences.

Roasters must also produce enough coffee to meet customer demand. Smaller coffee shops and bakeries could utilize the Sample Flagship roaster, which allows roasting of 120 gram sample batches or batches slightly exceeding 1lb of coffee. The Two Pound Profile Coffee Roaster allows for greater production, making it possible to produce 55 lbs of roasted coffee in just eight hours.

Sonofresco has an extensive line of commercial coffee roasting machines to meet any coffee shop needs.

2.Easy Operation of Roasting Machines

Roasters must be designed for ease of operation so customer demands are met in a timely manner.

The Flagship Roaster line //sonofresco.com/product/2lb-sonofresco-coffee-roaster makes operation easy with an intuitive control system. While Profile Coffee Roasters offer maximum control over end temperatures and roast profiles, they allow full control using Bluetooth-connected Advanced Definition Roasting Software (ADR). As many as five custom roast profiles can be uploaded and the roasting process can be monitored from any PC or Mac computer.

3.Adequate Ventilation for Roasting Machines

High quality professional coffee roasters must be appropriately vented in order to remove smoke created during the roasting process. Venting outside is required for removal of heat and exhaust gases.

Venting systems including a direct Vent Kit or a Power Ventilation Hood that can be purchased directly from Sonofresco.com to streamline installation and get roasting operations up-and-running in a timely manner. Qualified technicians or contractors may also construct custom venting.

4.The Right Coffee to Roast

Sonofresco sources their coffee beans from fair trade providers and offers a variety of options including green coffee beans, USDA certified organic coffee beans, and Sonofresco custom blends.

Café Femenino Foundation was established in 2004 in an effort to give agency to disadvantaged women in coffee-growing communities.  The foundation focuses on increasing educational opportunities, giving women the resources needed to support themselves—including microloans—and educating the community at large about the rights of women.  While they do rely on donations and volunteer work as well, selling coffee beans from the communities, they support also helps to fund their efforts. Sonofresco is proud to offer Café Femenino coffee beans.  All offerings from the foundation are high-quality, fair-trade, organic coffees.  When you purchase from us, we increase the proceeds of the foundation by donating an additional 5 cents per pound purchased to the Café Femenino grant program. Café Femenino products and mission exemplify what Sonofresco is all about – Fair-trade prices.  Fair-trade prices allow the producers to earn more and provide for those involved in the production of the coffee, all while delivering an incredible product to you. While the exact selection varies based on the growing season and Café Femenino’s stock, we currently have beans from Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, Nicaragua, and Rwanda are available for purchase.  The flavor profiles of the blends range from sweet and clean to pungently spicy, ensuring that no matter your tastes, there is a perfect cup for you.  You can purchase Café Femenino beans in 20-pound or 50-pound cases.

Are you one of the many coffee drinkers who are quick to grab a bag of pre-ground or whole beans off their local grocery shelf, without ever considering if there was something better? If yes, understanding the benefits of roasting your own coffee beans at home will turn you into a coffee lover that will never purchase grocery store coffee again.

Fantastic Flavor

One benefit of roasting coffee beans at home is the fantastic flavor that you are sure to enjoy. Over time,roasted beans, whether ground or whole, will start losing flavor. Considering how long supermarket bags of coffee may sit on the shelves prior to purchase, it is safe to say that most are past their prime. Green coffee beans , on the other hand,can be stored for extended periods without any loss to the flavor. In addition to maintaining their flavor, roasting your own coffee allows you to create unique combinations simply by incorporating varieties of green beans. Having control over the roasting,one can ensure that they will have the perfect blend that will far surpass the one-dimensional flavors from the supermarkets.

Sustainability

We as humans have a responsibility to protect the environment, fellow man,and future generations. Whether it be purchasing organic, Fair Trade Certified,or Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee beans;you will help ensure a better world, an invaluable benefit for all. Organically grown coffee beans are produced without artificial herbicides or pesticides. This minimizes wastewater and fertilizer pollution and keeps native forests intact, reducing soil erosion. Purchasing beans that are Fair Trade Certified protect harvesters by guaranteeing humane working conditions and fair wages for their efforts. The Rainforest Alliance focuses on conserving the biodiversity of rainforests, building strongforests, healthy communities, and protecting the environment from climate change. Buying coffee beans that are Rainforest Certified ensures a continued effort in protecting our world.
