Fresh Roasted Arabica Coffee Tuesday, Sep 23 2008 

All gourmet coffee, all the time!

Congratulations. You have entered the world of gourmet coffee. It is the most satisfying and freshest coffee available. The beans have traveled from the coffee fields to the roaster to your mug as quickly as possible. Whatever gourmet coffee you choose, you can be sure that our master roasters will make sure that the beans are roasted and blended to ensure maximum pleasure. We offer Guatemalan Maragogype Elephant Bean, Saratoga Signature, Kona, Espresso and flavors like Coconut, Blueberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cinnamon Danish, Hazelnut and Banana. Our decaf is chemical free Swiss Water Process which has no after taste.

Your gourmet coffee will arrive at your door with the insurance that all varieties will have consistent quality, bean after bean. Coffee roasting is as an art. Our roasters know that each coffee bean is unique, possessing a different size, shape, color, and density. Each type of bean demands different roasting temperatures and timing to draw out its full flavor.

We recommend brewing your gourmet coffee in a machine that DOES NOT have a hot plate. Choose a coffee maker that brews directly into a thermal carafe. The coffee stays fresher longer and does not become thick. Reusable filters are also very good. The best filters are gold, nylon, or some other permanent filter material. Permanent filters allow the most flavor molecules from the coffee grinds to make it into the water.

Don’t forget to grind your gourmet coffee beans fresh with every pot you brew. Coffee grinders release the bean oils and aromas at the moment you make your pot of java. It’s like getting a fresh cup from a coffeehouse each and every time you brew.

Enjoy!
