Where can I find 8 and 16 oz heat sealable bags inexpensively? Also, where can I get labels printed inexpensively? (I'm talking about the oval and square labels you put on your bag with the logo and name of the coffee) Thanks a bunch, Kim

I am in love with CoffeeAM's Sumatra Black Satin! Espresso Verdi is awesome, too. Love the Regea (sp)........but Sumatra is to die for! Kim

Will the devestation in that area affect the price of coffee for a while?

I, alone, couldn't sell enough to make much money. However, I could get 10 friends to sell and they could get 10 friends to sell and they could get 10 friends to sell.......... It would multiply exponentially! I think some people are "coffee bar/house/shop" challenged. They don't know what...

JPSCoffee.........that comment wasn't aimed at you. I liked your comments. I'm not a crackpot. It was aimed at the people who have been negative about his/her responses. I am sorry you were offended by my comment. I was in a bad mood the day I wrote it. Let me say it again, I am NOT a...

That was a little Sassy, and Smart-Assy, wasn't it? Sorry if I offended anyone..................... nnnooooooooooooooooooooooottttt!

It's so funny that I am getting negative response from this question. Wonder why if you don't buy a $5000 espresso machine, buy the latest, greatest "secret" green beans from new nanabaumba, end-o-the-earth on the forgotten continent for $100 a pound and roast them on your $50,000...

Cuisinart! It's a blade grinder. I found a "Burr" one at Target tonight, didn't buy it---not sure it's the kind I need. It was only $25, though, so I probably should've. What do I need?

Let me qualify what I am about to say: I am not a restaurant owner, a coffee shop owner or anything of the sort. I am a business owner in another industry. If I were in your shoes, I'd look at some very successful coffee shops (not in your area, don't copycat the shop across town) and find...

I waited as long as I could (15 hours!) and finally ground up some of the beans and made espresso.......I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself! It tastes great! There wasn't a bitter aftertaste like the espresso I was buying at the grocery store (*bucks)! The color is good, the aroma...

I finally roasted some coffee! It looks really dark (I am roasting an espresso blend made for me by Boca Java in Nashville). One thing that surprised me is the SMELL! I mean, it smelled pretty good until the last 1.5 minutes--then it smelled a little burned! My kids went nuts! I'll try some...

I did contact the local roaster "topher" suggested and they will sell me some green beans! The owner said it would be difficult to sell one type since their Espresso roast is blended. So, he is blending some beans to sell to me. I told him I was interested in home roasting only, so he agreed...

check pm, topher........... I'm in Tennessee

How does one find local roasters? I've looked in the yellow pages, I've searched online, I've looked on the chamber of commerce website.... nada! So, where would I go to find a list of local roasters?

That brings me to another question.........how do you find the local roasters? There's no listing in the yellow pages.......where are they and how do you find one?
