How do you know that 25lb roaster in Oakland is Custom made? did you talk with them. I keep seeing that post, but they have very little info. thanks

My fav as well. We have gone through a few Yama Vacuum Brewers for the stove top. They tend to break easy. But last a year or so, usually by my fault. But they produce a super clean, bright, hot cup.

There is oak wood roasted.. Oak Wood Roasting I have not tried it but they have been in business since 76

Nope.. I guess it appeared like it. :) I just looked right after a post and it was gone. I'm still at least a year out.

I'm thinking out opening of opening a small roaster shop and I just attended some low cost classes through the local small business development center. They were pretty good, helped getting a business plan started and got me thinking about all kinds of stuff that wasn't on my radar. I would...

Thanks CoffeeJunky, I was just trying to just have a roast shop and not serve drinks, but it's looking like it's the best way to go.

So my question is, how are the Restaurants who are purchasing high end coffee preparing it for their customers? How is quality ensured? Thanks Adam

Keep the answers coming, there are many of us (I assume) who mostly read and never post. I have been romanticizing opening a roastery/coffee shop for a while and then I read the posts from those of you on the front lines and become a bit more grounded. Thanks for all the answers I assure you...

I am interested in the excel roasting log, could you share it with me? thanks Adam [email protected]
