Green to Ground

[caffe biscotto]

Rose, thanks for your interest in the food show that I attended yesterday. It was much smaller than previous years. Some of the exhibitors I spoke with mentioned that the space fees were so expensive and some were fortunate to combine their space with a second exhibitor to save on the cost.

Yes, there was plenty of food and drink sampled out. I tried my share of coffee and espressos. New England Coffee had the largest area, covering about four to six normal spaces. It was like walking into a coffee shop. I was most impressed by Rao's and Omar's Coffee. They had nice displays and samplings of their coffees. Rao's Costa Rican was my fave. I tried an espresso from an espresso machine manufacturer that wasn't that great. I almost didn't finish it. Maybe it was all the beer sampling (mostly porters and stouts) that I had enjoyed prior to the espresso though. I actually got asked for my i.d. at one of the brewer stations!

According to my point of view you can lose 15-20 % lose your body fat by using the coffee.

In my roasting experience, the roasting process normally results in about 15% - 220% weight loss, as ElPugDiablo also said the same, but sometimes it can go up to 25% of weight loss.

I'm pretty sure you meant to write 15%-20% weight loss.

Once the green coffee beans are roasted, and you weigh the roasted beans, you'll have the same weight when you grind them. Some people think you lose some more of the weight by grinding the beans. I've never seen that happen, unless you accidently spill some.
