Fair Trade coffee demand sparks debate on workers' wages, lives
BY JAKE BATSELL
The Seattle Times
BALGUE, Nicaragua - (KRT) - Coffee has helped provide water for Jose Felix Centeno Castillo's home, school for his nine children and a better life for his fellow farmers.
Castillo and other members of his farming cooperative receive among the highest prices in the coffee industry - $1.61 a pound - for the beans they grow under towering trees on the volcano slopes of Ometepe Island, Nicaragua.
But do not look for a Fair Trade Certified label on the packages that carry Castillo's coffee. That coveted stamp of approval costs money - farmers and roasters pay for the label - and would shave hundreds of dollars from his co-op's annual earnings.
The co-op's coffee, sold in the United States by a Bainbridge Island, Wash., nonprofit, is marketed as "fair-traded." It is a semantic difference that highlights a growing debate within the specialty-coffee industry about workers' wages and their quality of life.
Booming U.S. demand for Fair Trade coffee has triggered an industrywide tiff about what exactly "fair" means when it comes to paying farmers.
Oakland, Calif.-based TransFair USA labels Fair Trade coffee after certifying it was grown by small-scale farm co-ops that were paid a fair price - at least $1.26 a pound - for their beans.
Other growers and sellers are finding ways to call attention to their sustainably grown coffees, which they say also provide a decent living for farmers. Fair Trade label or not, they say, their coffee is sustainably grown, or farmed in a way that respects the environment and is fair to workers.
"To say that everything else that we're doing is not good, and what they're doing is good - it's been a big struggle for us," said Pete Rogers, green-coffee buyer for JBR Gourmet Foods in San Leandro, Calif.
JBR often pays more than Fair Trade prices for its coffee, Rogers said, and it sponsors dozens of community-development programs in countries such as Mexico and Zambia.
"What they (TransFair USA) have done is a great job of selling the public on the idea," said Seattle's Best Coffee founder Jim Stewart, who sold his stake in Seattle's Best but still owns an organic coffee farm in Costa Rica. "It's kind of an easy way out. You see that stamp and you say, `Ha.'"
---
Volatile swings in the global coffee supply have slashed wages for thousands of farmers and workers in recent years.
Unroasted coffee beans that sold for nearly $2 a pound wholesale in 1997 dipped to under 50 cents a pound in 2002 - a price below many farmers' production costs, which generally average 60 cents to 90 cents a pound in Central America. Prices now hover between 70 and 80 cents a pound.
Fair Trade Certified coffee spares farmers from the ups and downs of commodities markets by establishing a minimum price for their product - currently $1.26 a pound for arabica beans, the type preferred by specialty roasters. Independent monitors confirm farms receive the Fair Trade price.
Since it began certifying coffee in 1998, TransFair USA has seen demand rise sharply for packages bearing its black-and-white Fair Trade label. Last year, the organization certified 18.7 million pounds of coffee, nearly doubling its 2002 total.
Dunkin' Donuts recently introduced a line of Fair Trade espresso drinks, and even canned-coffee giant Procter & Gamble, maker of Folgers, has developed a Fair Trade blend under its Millstone label.
Other retailers have taken the concept much further - a Fair Trade-only coffee company called Equal Exchange has become increasingly popular with church groups around the country, and Caffe Ladro, a seven-store independent chain in Seattle, serves "triple-certified" coffee that is Fair Trade, organic and shade-grown. Retail prices vary, but Fair Trade, organic and shade-grown coffees are generally a bit more expensive than standard specialty coffees - a few cents more for espresso drinks and about $1 more for a 1-pound bag.
"The vast majority of consumers and citizens in this country sympathize with the underdog," said TransFair USA Chief Executive Officer Paul Rice. "If presented with a choice between coffee that helps people and coffee that doesn't, it's natural they would want to choose coffee that helps people."
Buying coffee stamped with the Fair Trade label "is a relatively effortless way for people to make a difference in the world," TransFair USA Chief Executive Officer Paul Rice said.
TransFair's model requires Fair Trade farms to be part of a democratically run co-op, a rule that has riled owners of larger farms and estates who complain they are shut out from the Fair Trade system even though they treat their workers well and pay them fairly.
Meanwhile, several smaller U.S. roasters who had sold 100 percent Fair Trade coffee broke their alliance with TransFair earlier this year, contending TransFair has become too cozy with coffee corporations such as Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, whose Fair Trade offerings amount to a small fraction of their total coffee supply.
Even some who are eligible for Fair Trade status say they do not see why they should pay TransFair's certification fee, which until recently had been 10 cents a pound, to simply rubber-stamp what they already know to be fair and ethical business practices.
That is the stance of the Bainbridge-Ometepe Sister Island Association, which pays $1.61 a pound for the coffee grown by Castillo's co-op on Ometepe Island and sells it to Seattle-area retailers. All the coffee's profits pay for community-improvement projects on the Nicaraguan island.
"Ten cents a pound, when we do 14,000 pounds a year, is a lot of money that can go back to Ometepe," said Lee Robinson, the association's treasurer.
Rice says TransFair has reduced its certification fee schedule to as low as 5 cents a pound. He says he understands why a sister-island association based on direct personal interaction would find it unnecessary to pay for third-party certification.
But on a larger scale, he said, the Fair Trade label provides skeptical consumers with verification that companies are paying fair prices to growers.
"It doesn't mean we are the only way, but right now we are the only company that provides independent verification," Rice said.
---
A number of U.S. roasters and retailers say TransFair's model is one of many ways to protect farmers and the environment through sustainable growing methods - that is, techniques that benefit workers and the environment.
Starbucks, which says Fair Trade coffee accounts for about 1 percent of the coffee it buys, started an incentive system three years ago that paid premiums of up to 10 cents a pound to growers who met certain social and environmental criteria, such as paying at least minimum wage and treating and recycling the water used to wash beans. Starbucks says it paid an average of $1.20 a pound for the unroasted coffee it bought last year.
JBR Gourmet Foods, whose signature product is its 3-pound bags of San Francisco Bay French Roast sold at Costco stores, says it pays at least $1.38 a pound at 18 coffee farms around the world. It also pays for community projects, which have included schools, medical clinics and a baseball field.
While his company makes three Fair Trade blends under its Organic Coffee Co. brand, Rogers said the Fair Trade logo can leave consumers with a misguided perception that any other coffee is not sustainably grown.
"We really believe we're making more of a direct impact with what we do," Rogers said.
Jim Stewart, who founded Seattle's Best Coffee before selling his stake but still owns an organic coffee farm in Costa Rica, said TransFair's set prices can reduce the incentive for farmers and workers to produce a high-quality crop.
Instead, Stewart said he prefers to encourage workers to pick ripe beans by offering perks based on a full season's harvest. During Stewart's tenure at Seattle's Best, the company earmarked profits from each year's crop for projects such as schools and water pumps. He and his wife, farm owner Luz Marina Trujillo, still deliver new school uniforms each year to the families who work at their farms in Costa Rica.
The incentive-based approach, Stewart said, tells workers that "because you've done such a good job, your coffee has more international value, and here's some of that value for you to use in your community."
"It's not just more money - `Here it is, good luck,'" Stewart said. "It's a reward. It's not a gift. It's not a donation. It's not charity."
Rice said while community projects sponsored by individual coffee companies are commendable and well-intentioned, they also can be seen as a form of paternalism.
"We just believe there's a more sustainable model that empowers farmers to help themselves," Rice said.
Global demand for Fair Trade coffee is still relatively low - Fair Trade coffee accounts for perhaps 5 percent of specialty-coffee sales in the U.S. - but that demand is growing. Rice said Fair Trade farmers have plenty of incentive to strive for top quality. If they do not pay attention to quality, he said, their coffee will not sell.

With demand rising for Fair Trade and other eco- and worker-friendly coffees, caffeinated consumers are wading through what can be a confusing array of labels. Shoppers perusing the 12-ounce bags at their favorite espresso bar or grocery store often must choose between organic or shade-grown, or Fair Trade versus fair-traded.
A recent stroll down a Safeway aisle found coffees bearing three organic logos, the Fair Trade symbol and descriptions including shade-grown and "100% mountain farmed."
Rogers suggests the U.S. government take up the issue of Fair Trade coffee, similar to how the U.S. Agriculture Department recently introduced a "USDA Organic" logo.
"There's all these myriads of certifications out there that confuse the consumer," Rogers said. "If the government were willing to get involved with Fair Trade, I think that would be a very positive step for the consumer."
---
The Carlos Diaz Cajina Cooperative on Ometepe Island is not part of the Fair Trade program. But with the co-op's coffee selling for $1.61 a pound, its farmers say they feel fairly compensated. During the Sandinista era in the 1980s, they received less than 20 cents a pound.
"We have a better life," Castillo, 66, said through an interpreter. "Before, selling coffee at that price, I didn't have the money to survive. I didn't have money for the food I needed, for clothes."
Coffee profits have brought a water system to his village and helped him pay school fees for his six sons and three daughters, he said.
"Maybe it's not that our houses are nicer and we live like rich people, but now I can do things like send my kids to school," Castillo said. "Now, I'm not just subsisting. I can live more comfortably."

Greetings Coffee Forum Members,
My partner and I launched a farm-direct 100% Single Estate Grown Kona Coffee partnership with a handful of excellent small family coffee farms on the Big Island of Hawaii. Our website is:
http://EstateKona.com
EstateKona.com started with three values, quality, clarity and patriotism. We believe that 100% Single Estate Kona coffee is the quintessential example of a high quality untainted product made right in the United States of America. After discovering Kona coffee, we spent months testing all varieties of Kona coffee from every source possible.
Over a few caffeine fueled months we assembled a small list of farms that produce consistent high quality first class Kona beans. After befriending these growers, we learned that these farms sell a majority of their excellent crop to bulk distributors to barely break-even. These distributors mix these top quality Kona with lesser quality beans, immediately roast them in bulk, and sell to the end customer months later at a staggering premium.
At EstateKona.com, we recognize the extra cost of Kona, and we value the educated purchases of all Kona buyers. Each customer spending a premium on fine Kona coffee should receive the highest quality Kona with no compromises. Additionally, each first class Kona grower should also be rewarded for their amazing work.
EstateKona.com is dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality Kona beans while supporting small family Kona farms.
Each Order EstateKona.com fulfills will:
• Contain 100% Single Estate Grown Kona Coffee Beans;
• Contain strictly graded Beans according to the Hawaii Administrative Rules;
• Be roasted only upon order to your exact specifications;
• Be stored in a light blocking, vented and re-sealable plastic pouch;
• Be clearly labeled with the exact Estate Number, Roast Date and Grade; and
• Sell in a single weight, the Imperial Pound (lb).
EstateKona.com will not:
• Sell Gourmet Blend, Hawaiian Blend, Kona Blend, or any blend containing Kona;
• Sell beans grown outside the Kona Coffee District;
• Confuse our customers with measurements in Ounces or Grams. Remember, 16 ounces equals One Pound, not 12 Ounces!

http://EstateKona.com
EstateKona.com started with three values, quality, clarity and patriotism. We believe that 100% Single Estate Kona coffee is the quintessential example of a high quality untainted product made right in the United States of America. After discovering Kona coffee, we spent months testing all varieties of Kona coffee from every source possible.
Over a few caffeine fueled months we assembled a small list of farms that produce consistent high quality first class Kona beans. After befriending these growers, we learned that these farms sell a majority of their excellent crop to bulk distributors to barely break-even. These distributors mix these top quality Kona with lesser quality beans, immediately roast them in bulk, and sell to the end customer months later at a staggering premium.
At EstateKona.com, we recognize the extra cost of Kona, and we value the educated purchases of all Kona buyers. Each customer spending a premium on fine Kona coffee should receive the highest quality Kona with no compromises. Additionally, each first class Kona grower should also be rewarded for their amazing work.
EstateKona.com is dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality Kona beans while supporting small family Kona farms.
Each Order EstateKona.com fulfills will:
• Contain 100% Single Estate Grown Kona Coffee Beans;
• Contain strictly graded Beans according to the Hawaii Administrative Rules;
• Be roasted only upon order to your exact specifications;
• Be stored in a light blocking, vented and re-sealable plastic pouch;
• Be clearly labeled with the exact Estate Number, Roast Date and Grade; and
• Sell in a single weight, the Imperial Pound (lb).
EstateKona.com will not:
• Sell Gourmet Blend, Hawaiian Blend, Kona Blend, or any blend containing Kona;
• Sell beans grown outside the Kona Coffee District;
• Confuse our customers with measurements in Ounces or Grams. Remember, 16 ounces equals One Pound, not 12 Ounces!

Posted by ElPugDiablo on 2005-08-17 12:05:58 Post Subject: leaky drum
I've an older IR-12 that was leaking beans in front, so I moved the drum forward, now it has a 1/8" gap which is what Diedrich's web site's recommondation. But now it is leaking beans thru the back, sometimes a lot, other times very little, and it doesn't matter if it's the first batch or not. For example 3 days ago, the 3rd batch was Brazilian Monte Carmelo, and it leaked like crazy, but nothing much during the 1st batch (Guatemalan Antigua) and 2nd batch(Yemen, small beans). Today's 1st batch was Indian Mysore, larger beans, yet there were some leakage, 2nd batch was Kenya, and not much leak. One thing I noticed, the last tow batches of Brazil had the most leak, and I roast more Brazil per batch than other beans. Anyone has any idea or theory? Also, any idea how much Diedrich charge for a new drum?

Posted by buck100 on 2006-02-14 13:08:57 Post Subject: Volcanica Coffee announces the start of their 2006 harvest
February 13, 2006; Fort Lauderdale, FL
Volcanica Coffee announces the start of their 2006 gourmet coffee harvest in Costa Rica.
Today, Volcanica Coffee announced the kick off of the 2006 gourmet coffee harvest in Costa Rica. The gourmet coffee farms that supply Volcanica Coffee have started the laborious process of the annual harvest.
The harvest is taking place in the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica which is located in the high mountains south of San Jose. The high altitude of 5,000 feet above sea level is a main contributor to the elegant flavor in the Costa Rican Tarrazu coffee but the steep sloping volcanic mountains make it very difficult to farm. Coffee plants must be picked by hand then carried long distances to the closest road for pick up. The other challenges facing farmers in this region is the scarcity of workers to pick the harvest.
We are very excited that another harvest is upon us which literally brings us the fruits of our labor over the past year says Jorge Umana the manager of the Don Evelio Coffee Estate which is a major supplier to Volcanica Coffee. “The first cupping from the harvest indicates that we have another great gourmet coffee crop for 2006â€

Posted by MatthewK on 2006-03-29 10:12:53 Post Subject: PR - the Giving Bean Fair Trade Coffee
We live coffee, We breath coffee, We talk coffee, and We know coffee.
But we also know that Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world after oil. Even with this strong global demand, the hard working farmers who grow and harvest our beans have not been able to share in the profits. They are mired in an unthinkable cycle of poverty.
According to Oxfam only 3 Cents from a regular $3 cup of coffee goes to the coffee farmer who grew the beans.
At the Giving Bean we feel that this is not acceptable.
So, When making our selection, it is important to us that we not only choose the best beans but that each purchase is a responsible purchase. Our beans come from family-owned farms around the globe. All of our coffee is organic, most is shade grown, all of our coffee is grown through sustainable farming practices and absolutely all of our coffee is Fair Trade Certified. We simply wouldn’t have it the any other way.
"The Giving Bean's foundation is upheld by simple principles of equality and justice.
Our coffee aspires to incite, and promote participation and awareness of global Fair Trade practices while blending the perfect cup.
We invite you to sit back and relax with a cup of 100% Fair Trade Certified Coffee and take some extra enjoyment from the fact that you are making a difference in the lives of others and the environment."

First, it has been a while since I've been on here. It's good to be back, and see that you're still using my smilies!
Ok my question is about the BJ's Wholesale Club coffee beans. They use the name "Berkely & Jenson", and they package the large quantity beans similar to the Starbucks beans.
I'm quite sure BJ's doesn't roast their own coffee, does anyone know where the beans really come from?
I'm really happy with it, and it's a good price - nearly half the price of the Starbuck's brand.

Posted by javalicious on 2008-01-11 13:02:20 Post Subject: What's the best grind for a gift?
SO Here is the question. When you are buying coffee for a friend should you send them whole beans, Coarse ground, Espresso or what? I know the answer is whole beans but I have sent whole bean coffee to friends who don't have grinders and they never get around to grinding it. So it is a lost gift!
Does sending ground beans really lose that much flavor?

Hey all, i work at Bucks County Coffee Company in PA. Its a mini-franchise with about 30-40 stores located in PA and NJ. We get our whole beans from our central location in Langhorne, where they roast/flavor the beans.
We get our beans from the very best regions in the world. Fresh coffee every day.
My favorite dark roast is Havanna Nights, its a very dark, and smoky coffee, with great aroma and a nice smooth finish, and medium body.

Hi everyone. I would like to develop my own brand of beans for sale that hinges around a particular marketing idea that I think has been underused. What I'm wondering is, where would people recommend I purchase beans from? Any ideas? I would like to deal with fair-trade and shade-grown only if possible. Can anyone send me in the right direction?
Also, does anyone know what kind of price differential there is in going for fair-trade and shade-grown verses other beans? Thanks so much.

Posted by leecheater on 2006-03-21 21:25:20 Post Subject: China cap cheesecloth strainer wanted
Hello All,
I have traveled quite a bit in Central America and have found that the cheap, cheesecloth strainers with wire handles are a quick, easy way to make tasty coffee when in a hurry or while camping. My last one is now almost worn out. I am interested in a web address or phone # of a US business that sells them. Any help appreciated. I have searched the web several times but only come up empty.
BTW, has any one else found this type of coffee preparation (with fresh ground Colombian beans) as tasty as I have? It is especailly good when camping. My last trip to Colombia was high lighted by actually picking up fresh roasted beans from my friends farm that were still warm. These beans were only available to coffee plantations owners.

Posted by thedot on 2007-10-21 18:47:02 Post Subject: Cost of Roasted Beans?
Hello folks,
I am trying to wrap my mind around some volume pricing options.
I'm wonder if you all could assist me just a bit.
What is a fair, yet competitive price for roasted coffee beans?
I'm sure folks can get large quantities at a discounted price...so I'm hoping you all can assist me with what a good price for a volume of beans would be?
To be honest, I would like to be competitive; and so I thought why not ask the folks that buy this stuff?
We roast up the beans, and we ship nationwide, but we're basically selling to home users.
We sale commercial equipment, so we'd like to increase our coffee sales to our commercial customers (restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, etc.).
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.

Posted by wynpotter on 2006-12-17 14:23:26 Post Subject: Profit margins on green beans???
I am a potter in NC and in my studio/retail gallery, I'm considering adding green beans w/ instructions to enhance my sales of coffee and latte mugs. Packaging, amts and other details , I will work out asthe idea becomes more complete.
My question to the group is about wholesale cost of green beans. From the several web-sites that I have visited, the price seems in the $4.50-$6.50 /lb range with Kona in the $22-$24. range. Is this, even though ref to as "wholesale", a low volumne WS and that price breaks occur in the bag/50 lb + area. Is there a rough breakdown of price to vol/lbs that i can use as an indicator what amt I need to sell to see if it is worth while.
The restaurant here in town buys a brand that cost $2.95/lb/24 bag box of roasted beans(not a speciality bean obvously).
I'm hoping to fine a way to increase my pottery sales by this value added method. Thanks for your thoughts. Wyndham

Posted by wantcoffee on 2004-03-15 20:08:33 Post Subject: Attention to International Bean Supplier
Hi All,
It is my first time to get in this forum and I love this site. The tpics are very informative. Thank you all.
I would like to open my coffee bar in Beijing China hopefully this summer and I just finished my business plan. My question is that since the coffee retail business in china is relatively young, I have diffcult to find a reputable coffee bean supplier. A one I found in Beijing was a member of speciality coffee association of american in 2000 and 2001. It offers many origin coffee beans but the prices are so high eventhough It does tell the grade of the origin coffee beans. The price is about US$14/lb. I have found the the most coffee beans are about $6-7/lb in US and most importantly you guys have great access ability to find out their quality.
My plan is that I would like to find a reliable roasted bean supplier so that I can carry its product lines to resell and make my own espress based beverages. I would like to order once each two weeks for quantity to meet my sales volume.
I would like to appreciate your reply. My e mail: efiledong@yahoo.com.cn

Posted by argie on 2007-09-07 17:43:05 Post Subject: Kone green beans good for espresso roast ?
When we were drinking brewed coffee, I used a 20% Kona blend, which we loved for its smoothness and great flavor.
Then I bought a espresso machine that grinds, taps and pours a cup automatically. We love it. But we found Kona beans were rather bland for espresso.
Would it be different if I roast the green beans from 100% Kona ?

This question is for coffee shops that buy in roasted beans:
Do you go through a local coffee roaster/distributor for your beans or do you choose to buy from an online source?
I'm guessing that most of you do roast your own and hoping it's not a bad thing to admit that you don't.
Please, pm me if you like. A simple "local" or "online" answer would suffice.
Thank you

Posted by lizzy on 2007-06-15 00:01:03 Post Subject: new crops
I've gotten a few things figured out. like some long handled wire brushes and a little shop vac to clean before I even fire up my little guy.
Also have learned to slow things down around 395. I can adjust the flame and roast a little longer than full speed ahead and get some good flavor.
but now I'm getting new crops of beans, they smell different--fresher and more "agricultural" and I wonder if there are any tips for roasting these delightfully fresh green beans.

So I just signed up today, but roasted my 1st set of coffee beans a couple of days ago. I'm going to brew it at work tommorrow and use some of my co-workers as guinee pigs. Here's a pic. Anybody notice any thing funny, please let me know. The beans are Kenya AA, and were roasted to I think a medium french roast. I used a good old fashioned skillet and gas stove. I did no more then a few ounces.

Posted by ap958 on 2006-05-30 18:33:09 Post Subject: Roasting beans
Hi All,
I'm new here and have a question.
I have been roasting my own green arabica beans for a few months now and use a hot air popcorn maker (1500 watt) that does a great job of roasting while moving the beans around.
I do an 8 minute roast, but sometimes I notice an oily apperance of the bean. Other times a little round flat piece pops off the bean.
I don't particularly want a very dark roast and was wondering whats going on here?
I only make cappucino on a pumpdriven machine.
TIA
ap

View entire thread: Cocoa/Espresso beans and acne???
Posted by Anonymous on 2004-11-18 11:26:10 Post Subject: Cocoa/Espresso beans and acne???
I am a fan of chocolate covered espresso beans and have them almost everyday (in a good quantity
), but along with this I also have lots of water.......and the reason I dont feel guilty about being kinda addicted to those is my good intake of water to keep my system well functioning and prevent dehydration and thus constipation.
However, recently I visited the doctor and seeing the break-outs on my face he asked me to cut down on my chocolate/cocoa/"chocolate covered espresso beans" intake....
is anyone here to second his suggestion, coz as far as I know chocolate/coffee have nothing to do with acne...
please reply
thanks

Posted by floorman on 2004-10-31 12:24:44 Post Subject: Questions about coffee shop, drive thru's, and coffee carts
Hello everyone - my question is pointed more towards the owners of coffee shops, drive thru's, and coffee carts.
I was wondering just excatly how much milk, coffee beans, cups, straws,
and lids etc. that you go through, on average, per month? Also, what is your cost per month for each item?
What prices do you charge for your drinks? such as the 12oz,16oz,and the 20oz lattes,cappucinos etc. I am trying to come up with a good price that will be fair but not too much. I have been to places that charge about the same as a national coffee place.
I am trying to make sure also that I don't overspend or underspend for milk, coffee beans, cups, straws, etc.
Thank you!!
Jeff

View entire thread: Looking for a good roaster in Ontario
Posted by GarrettVD on 2006-10-19 13:49:12 Post Subject: Looking for a good roaster in Ontario
Hi,
I've had a Solis Crema SL70 espresso machine for a few months now. When I first got it, I ordered some espresso beans off the internet from moonbeancoffee.com. I tried their "espresso" coffee bean. But I was pretty dissappointed with it... It was a very dark roast, and it tasted very bitter and burnt. Not like the espresso I had in mind!
So what I'm looking for is a local roaster (I live in Brantford, Ontario, Canada) or a roaster that is somewhere in Ontario, that has great espresso beans, and also the specific bean that you'd reccommend from there. Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!
PS. This isn't related to the above question at all, but I'm looking for a czeve/Ibrik, as my sister recently brought me back some coffee from Turkey and I would like to try it.

View entire thread: Problem with Solis Maestro Plus!
Posted by dff3 on 2005-03-13 11:48:01 Post Subject: Problem with Solis Maestro Plus!
Have owned Solis Maestro Plus for about five months. Basically grind about 4 scoops of french roast or espresso- type beans a day on or about the "drip" setting. I clean it every week.
Day by day it has become increasingly more difficult to feed coffee into the burrs as if one bean is blocking everything. The motor whines as if the hopper is empty and you have to 'push' and 'sweep' the coffee into the conical burs or everything would just sit there while the motor whines.
Anyone have an idea what's what? After five months of very easy use - I can't believe the burr is dull -- especially with that huge worm gear on the other side. It's almost like the coffee beans are too big to fit between the burrs -- even on drip - but it happens with various types of coffee.
P.S. I love it when it works.

Posted by billagirly on 2007-08-23 11:28:04 Post Subject: Texas licenses and permits question:
To my Texan friends -
I am interested in selling my home-roasted coffee beans at a local craft show and have NO idea where to start. I'm mainly looking to sell bags of beans, but if I can also get away with serving coffee at the event I think it would definitely improve my sales.
I know I can get a health permit from the city online (or I could dig up an old one and hope it hasn't expired yet, but I'd rather get a new one) but do I need any other kinds of licenses or permits as a vendor?
I've never done anything like this before so it's all a little overwhelming. I am going to contact the city health department, but I wanted to come here first so I can have a better idea of what questions to ask and what to expect. Thanks in advance for your help - I appreciate it!

Posted by bvy on 2006-11-19 20:24:37 Post Subject: Oven Roasting
Hello! I'm new to the board, but have frequented alt.coffee for a long time. I've been roasting for several years, but haven't really tried anything too adventurous in a while, so...
Can anyone offer any hints for oven roasting? Never tried it (I've only ever used hot air poppers). I have a gas oven, but I'm not sure what to put the beans on. I've read different things while browsing the web. A pizza screen? Also, what should the oven be preheated to? Will I hear cracks? I know this is a "harsher" way to roast and I'll get an uneven roast at best, so what type of beans will best stand up to this treatment? I have a French roast blend from Sweet Maria's that I'm considering.
I realize this will be a lot of trail and error, but I'd like as good a start as possible. Thanks for any help at all!

Posted by BeanGrinder on 2006-08-30 22:49:58 Post Subject: Coffee Cleaner
This is cool stuff -
Ever notice how coffee "dust" cakes up on your grinder? We grind truck-loads and the stuff gets everywhere - especially caked on to the grinder chute. And when we are filling the plastic paks, the static has that dust dancing and making a mess.
Well, GSB & Associates released a new product called "Coffee Cleaner" which is a colorless, ordorless, water-soluable liquid that, when added to beans, allows them to push through the grinder virtually "dust" free.
It is FDA & Kosher approved. When added at 1/2 teaspoon per lb. of coffee beans, it is totally un-noticeable. It has no effect on the resulting ground coffee, but the whole grinding and packaging process is much cleaner. I haven't studied it, but I suspect it is healthier for the inner workings of the grinder as well.
You can order a sample from Paula at GSB:
Phone: 770.424.1886
email: sales@gsbflavorcreators.com
on the web at: www.gsbflavorcreators.com
By the way, I have absolutely no affiliation with this company, other than purchasing flavors from them. My post is intended to share the information and I receive NO renumeration for it whatsoever.

View entire thread: Anyone tried Biscuit Brand Coffee?
Posted by aliciaf on 2005-01-24 13:00:54 Post Subject: Anyone tried Biscuit Brand Coffee?
Hello,
I am new on this forum, but so far I love it!
Just wanted to suggest a coffee to get via the net. I have been ordering the Biscuit Brand coffee for a little over 6 months now and it is wonderful.
Also, until Jan. 30th they are donating $3 per pound to Tsunami Relief.
The company is called Jessica's Biscuit and also goes by ecookbooks.com. Their main business is selling cookbooks, but they have a small coffee roasting business also. They roast small batches and send it out the same day. It is so fresh and they have quite a large selection of different beans. You can also get green beans.
The various coffees are roasted to different degrees, each to get the best of that particular bean. Many of them are roasted medium, but there are some good dark roasts also. Decaf too. There is a good description of each coffee on the website. I read your forum rules and was not sure if I could post the URL for this coffee. If anyone wants it, please let me know.
I would really suggest you try them out. They also have a coffee club where you get automatic shipments at your preferred increment, and they are very flexible about letting you change the type of coffee, shipping increment, etc. Price is very good. $7.99/lb for roasted (haven't ordered green, but I recall $4.99, I think) and best of all they pay the shipping if yuo are in the club and if your order is over $25 and not in the club.
BTW, I do not work for the company or have any affiliation with them! I just realized that this sounds like a commercial, but I really do love their fresh coffee.

Just wanted to suggest a coffee to get via the net. I have been ordering the Biscuit Brand coffee for a little over 6 months now and it is wonderful.
Also, until Jan. 30th they are donating $3 per pound to Tsunami Relief.
The company is called Jessica's Biscuit and also goes by ecookbooks.com. Their main business is selling cookbooks, but they have a small coffee roasting business also. They roast small batches and send it out the same day. It is so fresh and they have quite a large selection of different beans. You can also get green beans.
The various coffees are roasted to different degrees, each to get the best of that particular bean. Many of them are roasted medium, but there are some good dark roasts also. Decaf too. There is a good description of each coffee on the website. I read your forum rules and was not sure if I could post the URL for this coffee. If anyone wants it, please let me know.
I would really suggest you try them out. They also have a coffee club where you get automatic shipments at your preferred increment, and they are very flexible about letting you change the type of coffee, shipping increment, etc. Price is very good. $7.99/lb for roasted (haven't ordered green, but I recall $4.99, I think) and best of all they pay the shipping if yuo are in the club and if your order is over $25 and not in the club.
BTW, I do not work for the company or have any affiliation with them! I just realized that this sounds like a commercial, but I really do love their fresh coffee.

Posted by manual_drip on 2004-10-16 11:31:20 Post Subject: Genetically engineered decaf coffee
Maybe they could also make genetically engineered increased-caffeine coffee?
Coffee without a buzz?
Plants genetically modified to lose caffeine
By ALEX DOMINGUEZ
Associated Press
For those who love the full flavor of real coffee but can't handle the kick, the genetics revolution may have a solution.
Researchers say they have genetically engineered coffee plants that have 70 percent less caffeine than usual in their leaves. The crucial question for brewing coffee - whether beans from those plants will have less caffeine - won't be known for three to four years when the plants mature, said study author Shinjiro Ogita.
However, the results indicate it should be possible, according to the researcher's report in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.
The researchers at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan used RNA interference - an increasingly popular genetic tool - to manipulate the plant, interfering with the gene responsible for an enzyme used to make caffeine.
Experts contend a caffeine-free bean would be an improvement over current decaffeination processes, which use water or organic solvents to remove the stimulant from the beans before they are roasted, taking out some flavor and aroma as well.
Alan Crozier, a University of Glasgow researcher who has worked on genetically modifying coffee, said the Japanese group is the first to engineer the plants to produce less caffeine.
However, concerns about genetically modified foods and a lack of interest by the coffee industry could slow development, Crozier said.
"I suspect it will come in first at the boutique end of the market and grow from there," Crozier said. "If it were to take over, clearly it's a much cheaper way to produce decaffeinated coffee."
Pablo Dubois of the London-based International Coffee Organization, which includes coffee-producing and consuming nations, said genetically modified foods "are regarded with wide suspicion in Europe" and current decaffeination processes are well established.
John Stiles, a scientist working to develop a caffeine-free coffee plant for Waialua, Hawaii-based Integrated Coffee Technologies Inc., said the Japanese researchers have not yet reached the commercial decaffeination level of 97 percent.
Stiles said the Hawaiian company hopes to have plants ready for field use in a year. While the Japanese researchers used the robusta variety of coffee plant, Stiles said the Hawaiian work uses the more commercial arabica variety.
Ogita said the Japanese researchers are also working on arabica plants and should be able to eventually remove all caffeine.
Coffee plants make caffeine in a three-step process. The targeted gene in the modified plant normally prompts the plant to produce an enzyme that carries out the second step, said Hiroshi Sano, one of the paper's authors.
RNA interference eliminates the chemical messenger the targeted gene sends to the cell's protein-making machinery.
The researchers are also working to induce plants other than coffee to produce caffeine, which would act as a pest repellant, Sano said.
At the Daily Grind in Baltimore, some welcomed the news of the genetically modified coffee plant and others were as lukewarm as a half-finished cappuccino.
Marcia Sternbergh, 52, of Baltimore said she prefers regular coffee for the taste, "and the jolt."
At night, though, she would drink the non-caffeine kind.
Harold Cones, 60, of Newport News, Va., who has to drink decaf because of an irregular heartbeat, said he would welcome the new coffee because he could avoid caffeine and get the flavor.
"Oh, that would be good. There's a difference," Cones said, sipping a decaf. "Every now and then I have a cup of real coffee and it's really nice."
While some decaf is good, Cones said it tends to get stale because it's not ordered as much. The real thing is still the best, however.
"Sometimes, you get that cup of coffee," Cones said, "and you think you're high in the mountains, in an old hotel, and the aroma goes up into your sinuses and you say, 'That's a good cup of coffee.'"

Anybody have any good methods of keeping their café costs down? With Pros and Cons for each, please.

Posted by Henning on 2006-12-01 18:53:30 Post Subject: Large variety packs of espresso beans
I'm looking for a variety pack or something that has a lot of different types of beans to sample. I'd prefer something under $100 that has as many different types as possible.
Would prefer bean but ground is okay. Any recommendations?

How do the beans size ie 13/14, 15/16, 17/18 correlate with the grading -G1, G2 and so on? Were other factors like altitude of growing, double picke/triple pick, taken into consideration for the grading?
Not talking abt Latin or Africa grading system.

Hi all, obviously a n00b here. My wife and I are looking into getting into the coffee roasting business. We had heard from a friend who tried to sell teas that there were FDA trype rules governing the preparation and packaging of teas (and we assume by extension, coffee) that makes selling roasted beans a bit of a hassle. Can anyone shed some light? Google does not seem to be my friend on this one. Thanks for your help.
