Coffee has become a ritual - lets not deny it. Gone are the days when the only enjoyment you get from a cup of coffee is the actual drink. My ritual starts from the moment I open the bag - a burst of aroma from my fresh roasted coffee beans and continues through the grinding where I get a second hint into how flavorsome my coffee will be. 

Watching the extraction and the pour into the cup is met with anticipation as I steam my milk to a creamy texture and pour the milk into the cup. Sure, my technique has room for improvement, but thats the journey - each and every cup is a part of me and the result is a more enjoyable coffee, this time a flat white. 

When I sit down to enjoy my coffee, I seem to forget my surroundings, everything falls silent as I draw my first sip.  yum!

If you enjoy quality coffee, you will absolutely love Coffee Bean Shop coffee beans. Are you opening a cafe or coffee shop, do you have plans to serve quality coffee at home for your friends or family, would like to source fresh coffee for your office or business, or are just curious about the coffee roasting process? If that sounds like you, you have come to the right place.

Fresh roasted coffee means different things to different people, but this is what it means for me;

• Coffee roasted for shipment to one of our online or wholesale customers comes out of the roaster hot and is packed into foil lined coffee bags once it cools to room temperature. That's fresh roasted coffee. Simple as that.
• Most experts explain that fresh roasted coffee is coffee that has been roasted less than two weeks ago, for absolute freshness.
• Coffee that is less than ten days old is nearly impossible to find,unless you are buying your coffee direct from the roaster.

In creating the very best roasted coffee bean, we need to ensure

• the raw coffee beans selected are of the highest quality
• the roasting process is consistent and matches the desired roast profile
  
• your coffee beans are packed in foil lined bags with one-way degassing valves
• the coffee bag is sealed effectively
• your coffee is roasted and dispatched as soon as possible after you order
• your delivery is timely and efficient
  

Selecting the most heavenly green coffee beans is possibly the most important step in the process. Ever heard the old phrase 'a building is only as good as its foundations'?

As a professional roaster, I have my own experience with the spiritual side of fresh roasted coffee. I certainly care more about coffee than anything I have done, professionally speaking, thus far in my life.

The whole point of this is to say that without excellent green coffee beans, all of the care taken by a Roast-master will be like pearls cast to swine. Thus, “The Perfect Cup” becomes sadly unattainable.

Let me start by saying, I mostly enjoy my coffee black, so I rarely need to reach for milk, but when I do, or when I see others preparing milk for their cappuccino or flat white, this one single tip almost always improves the texture of the milk, and the flavour of the coffee.

Do you remember that sound of milk being frothed by some actor on TV? Its sounds a lot like "Pssshhhht...Pssshhhht...Pssshhhht..." as they plung the tip of the steam wand in and out of the milk pitcher. That same motion can be seen at most non-cafe restaurants as they prepare their milk pitcher of milk for your flat white. The problem with all that plunging and action, is that you end up with a very bubbly and soap-suds like consistency to your milk. It ends up being very thick on top from bubbles, and very thin and watery underneath. When you addd that to you your espresso base, you end up with what I like to refer to as a thin cup of coffee.  

The secret to producing great microfoam, which is realy what you want, lots and lots of tiny bubbles all through your milk, making a thick and silky smooth texture is to "steam the milk with the tip only gently breaking the surface until the milik gets to 30c (close to body temp by touch), and then to plunge the steam wans INTO the milk pitcher, and if you can, try to make a whirlpool effect" (be careful not to make too much of a whirlpool, or you risk sucking in more air, creating that Pssshhhht...Pssshhhht... noise and fluffing up your milk too much).

At first attempt, it may not seem like this method will work, but it will, and with a little practice, you will be producing delicious silky smooth milk to pour into your coffee base. When you pour microfoam, you will instantly notice a difference in the pour, and the sound of the pour - it appears thicker, and more consistently textured.

Coffee lovers are less likely to develop the most common type of skin cancer, a new study found. 

The study of almost 115,000 men and women found those who drank three or more cups of coffee a day had a 20 percent lower risk of basal cell carcinoma than those who said no to coffee.
  
"I think we're seeing more and more evidence for the beneficial effects of coffee consumption," said study author Jiali Han, associate professor of dermatology and epidemiology at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard School of Public Health, explaining that java has also been linked to a reduced risk of diabetes and Parkinson's disease. "I wouldn't recommend drinking coffee solely based on this work, but it does add one more thing to the list." 

The study, published today in the journal Cancer Research, sheds new light on a skin cancer that affects 2.8 million Americans each year, and with Australia having a higher incidence of skin cancer, its a great discovery.
