Most pleased to see this blog. I once lived in a small coffee producing Oaxacan village. Initially they would dry the fruit on woven mats on a dirt path. They would take their green beans and roast them on a large, round, flat clay “pan”, sort of thing. I don’t recall a “cooling” phase. They would then grind them with a metate used only for coffee. Then they simply tossed the ground coffee into an old enamelled coffee pot of boiling water. They had an idea of just how long to wait for the coffee to be ready. They would then pour the brew into brown earthenware cups. They would chip off a few flakes of sugar from a raw sugar ball and serve. They would repeat whenever they wanted to brew up a few cups of coffee. I still dream about this coffee even after 40 years have passed. It was so good and without any special tools. For them it was niether science or art…just good coffee.

[...] Coffee is a ritual for Tom Metcalfe. The Scottish product designer has refined the process of roasting, brewing and pouring into an artful contemporary ceremony. Metcalfe’s Coffee Maker does everything. When turned on its side and heated, beans are roasted within the glass vessel. As the soon-to-be sipper gets their grind on with the included attachment, water is heated. Once a course or fine blend is dialed in, the water is ready for the beans. Four minutes of brew-time and you’ve created what Metcalfe says is a “cup of fresh perfect coffee.” [via yankodesign] [...]

hogwash, utter hogwash, the old degassing and “resting” garbage that roaster foist. There have been a lot of blind taste tests done using pro’s on fresh roast vrs aged and the fresh roast shows (not surprising) all the lighter more delicate flavors (chocolate, tobacco etc) that are absent from “aged”. This is a one of old herring that the “pro” roasters fly to keep roasting a mystery, the other is that its a art. Roasting is science, fresh is best, and its not hard.
