04/30/08 We have put the Honduran Finca Las Canas on sale at $2.99/lb. It is looking a little tired but still has an excellent taste.

03/07/08 For you super premium coffee drinkers, we have received two great JBM coffees and an excellent Brazil:

JBM Mavis Banks - Mavis Banks is the largest mill for Blue Mountain coffee, this is the excellent new 2008 crop.
JBM Moyhall - Moyhall is a super premium Jamaican which presents a smooth, rich cup with a medium body.
Brazil "Alvorada"- An excellent example of one of the more refined high quality Brazils that are now finding their way to market

02/26/08 We have tragic news about Carlos (plantation manager) from Finca Vista Hermosa. Click here for more information

02/07/08 We are glad to offer some great new coffees and also some fresh lots of our current offerings:

Indonesian Flores Bajawa- This cup has a full body and a great milky sweetness. A slight hint of smokiness/dark chocolate can be found and accentuated with a darker roast.
Mexican Malinal Washed- New crop now in stock. Rated much higher than last years. Very rich and smooth!
Puerto Rican Hacienda San Pedro
This super premium coffee carries some of the best Puerto Rican attributes; a rich, clean and smooth cup, with a full body and hints of caramel and citrus followed by a slight chocolate finish.
Decaf Espresso Blend- This cup is very full bodied, rich and smooth with a strong chocolaty flavor. Perfect for espresso, this coffee will cut through the milk to create your favorite beverage.

Colombian Premium Versalles- This Colombian is big bodied, very smooth, rich, and clean with a buttery fruit finish.

11/15/07 We have the new model of the Nesco Smokeless Roaster. The Nesco 1010 has a higher roasting temperature, which cuts down on the roast time and produces an even brighter, better tasting cup.
Even easier to achieve a darker roast! Perfect holiday gift for the coffee lover on your list.

Understanding Home Roasters

There are basically two types of home coffee roasters on the market today: fluid bed and heat drum.

The most common are the fluid bed roasters such as the Fresh Roasts, the Hearthware I-Roast, and the Zach and Dani's . . .

What's New Continued:

01/17/08 We are undergoing a shipping pilot with Spee-Dee delivery in certain mid-west states. Our free roaster shipping will ship Spee-Dee delivery in their territory.

We will be shipping some ground coffee orders with Spee-Dee. The orders should arrive quicker and with excellent service.

If you are in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North/South Dakota or northern Illinois your ground order may ship Spee-Dee. Please let us know if you have any concerns or issues.

10/04/07 We have moved into our new location. Its great!, some pictures and more details are now available.

Our new phone number is 608-831-9247. We have a demo area where you can play with all the roasters and try any of our coffees. We will post more information as soon as were in.

01/29/08 Looks like we had a bad batch of one pound bags that has caused occasional breakage. We have switched to a double thickness bag which should fix the problem.

05/23/07 Edwin's new crop (Vista Hermosa) received a 2007 Guatemalan cup of excellence award. Congratulations to the hard workers of Finca Vista Hermosa.
The new crop is now in stock!

01/11/07 We now have the latest batch of Gene Cafe's in stock. Free ground shipping and an AeroPress, or a 5 lb. bag of green coffee of your choice, all for only $495.00.

03/06/07 An interesting article in Roast Magazine: Bringing Value to Your Coffee. Written by James of our Mexican Malinal coffee. It talks about the financial's of producing world class sustainable coffee and the best way to help farms earn more money.

01/11/07 I want to thank all of our friends for such a great holiday season. With winter now upon us, its great to sit down with a nice hot cup of coffee! Our friend Steven has made a video of his first roast with a Freshroast, check it out!

03/20/2006 We have returned from our visit to Edwin and his family at Finca Vista Hermosa: Guatemala. We enjoyed our time at their Finca (plantation) and thank them for their warm hospitality. We also had the pleasure of meeting and cupping with AnaCafe, which regulates all Guatemalan coffee. They gave us the full V.I.P. treatment. We hope to have pictures and stories of our visit up on the site soon.

6/12/2006 We are offering free UPS continental Ground shipping on all of our roasters . Anything else purchased with those products will receive free shipping as well.
Select "free ground shipping for all roaster purchases" upon checkout

07/26/2005 We are now selling our burlap coffee bag at $1.50.
Max 4 per order.

03/30/2006 We tested a new roaster for three months and its quite impressive. Introducing the New Gene Café Innovative coffee Roaster, with a 10-12 oz batch size and the ability to do multiple batches in a day, this roaster has the largest capacity of any home roaster. [More...]

02/08/2006 We have added a great new coffee: Kenyan PB, a smooth bright cup and an excellent example of a premium Kenya.

02/08/2006 We have found a fun new brewing method. The Aeropress, a very cool hands-on espresso maker, similar to a French-press, it makes enough espresso for one to four shots, add a little more hot water and you have Café Americano. Relatively easy to use and clean and many think, (including Ken Davids) it makes superior espresso comparable to many expensive machines.
Burman Price- $26.99

09/15/2005 The new Hearthware I-Roast 2 is in stock. This new home coffee roaster allows you to save up to 10 custom roast profiles and has enhanced the roasting curve into five sections instead of three.
Burman Price- $179.95 w/ free 5 lb bag of green coffee your choice and free shipping!
