Guatemalan Maragogype Elephant Bean Coffee Friday, Jun 6 2008 

Elephant Bean Coffee

Guatemalan Maragogype Coffee Beans are actually mutations. The trees they grow on produce the world’s largest coffee beans. Hence the name “elephant” beans. They are grown in several countries but I just love the Guatemalan variety. It is a well sought after coffee as the flavor is so smooth. People are also drawn to the “attractiveness” of the bean.

I know it has been a while, but now you all have a wonderful tidbit to share with friends this weekend. As usual, no need to thank me.

Give the Us a Chance Tuesday, Mar 25 2008 

Have you ever heard of a defective coffee bean? If you purchase fresh roasted beans from a small batch roaster, like Saratoga Roasters, you will never meet one. Defective beans are generally immature or discolored. Foreign coffee roasters toss the defective beans in with the high quality ones. You guessed it, the end result is a lower quality beverage. Typically, roasters in the US do tend to throw the defectives out producing a high quality cup of java.

So, come on, purchase your beans for the quality and the taste. I am willing to give you a chance to learn just how amazing a premium mug of coffee can brighten your day (I am so nice that way!)

Coffe Reduces Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease Wednesday, Jan 16 2008 

New studies suggest that if you drink atleast two cups of coffee a day, you decrease your risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease later in life. So, what are you waiting for?

More Uses for Coffee Beans Sunday, Dec 30 2007 

I have found two more uses for coffee beans. Both can come in quite handy:

*Use a coffee bean to freshen your breath. When you cannot find a mint, simply suck on a coffee bean. Your breath will be fresh and clean in minutes.

*Deodorize your hands. Keep some beans by the kitchen sink. When you want to get rid of an odor on your hands, just rub a couple of beans between them. The beans will absorb the odor.

Have fun with this and enjoy!

Coffee Tidbit Sunday, Dec 9 2007 

Here we go again. I came across an interesting fact that supports my customers purchasing my fresh roasted beans and making their own java. People who buy coffee primarily at drive through windows on their way to work will spend as many as 45 hours a year waiting in line.

No way! Who has the time? I know you don’t!

Thanks for being loyal and time efficient.

As always, follow the bouncing link:

Pure Fancy Kona Coffee Tuesday, Nov 13 2007 

Pure Fancy Hawaiian Kona Coffee is here.

This is a special order direct from one of the finest farms in Hawaii located in the coffee belt. It is called the coffee belt because the conditions are just right to create perfect growing conditions. The farm has been in operation for over 100 years.

Pure Kona coffee has a clean, soft, sweet flavor. These beans are the finest I have tasted and have the 100% Kona seal of approval from the State of Hawaii and the Kona Coffee Council (which guarantees that you are receiving 100% Kona.)

I ordered them in time for the Holidays. Treat yourself, your host, or your guests to only the finest coffee to top off the perfect meal. The price is $25.99 per pre roasted pound.

Espresso Tid Bit Saturday, Oct 6 2007 

I have yet another little bit of information to increase your coffee knowledge base. You can thank me later.

Many people grab a cup of espresso to get an instant caffeine rush. While I have to agree that espresso beans pack an extra “punch” of flavor, the caffeine content is actually less than a regular cup of java.

First of all, the longer coffee beans are roasted, the less caffeine is left in the bean. There is still caffeine but it is reduced. Lighter roasts have more caffeine. It is a bit of a contradiction to the brain, as your taste buds are registering a heightened, more distinct flavor. I think of the most satisfying foods, spicy with less fat and calories

Second, take a look at the average cup (mug) of coffee and then look at an espresso serving. Need I say more?

We still love that extra dark bean. Maybe you will fill less guilt about indulging. If so, follow the link and enjoy:

New and Improved Decaf–Incredible! Sunday, Jul 15 2007 

At Saratoga Roasters, we strive to uphold our product to the highest of standards. Although we have received great feedback on our decaf coffee, we have managed to make it even better!

Our new crop of decaf arabica beans is on its way. It is still decaffeinated using a water process which is completely chemical free. The process is “KVM” and German instead of Swiss. We have to admit, the taste is simply incredible!

If you would like to order a pound, please note that it will be shipped the week of July 23rd. We are anxioulsy awaiting the arrival of the fresh, unroasted coffee beans. Even though they cost more, we are not increasing the price.

Simply follow the link (you know the drill) and you are on your way to brewing a delicious mug of decaf:

As always, enjoy!
