One more thing you should know about me. It is truly important. I grew up in a Boston Housing authority project. You know the kind where you have to be just above the poverty level to get in. we were labeled and dreaded. We were labeled loser's by everyone, but that was not the case. most of the people that lived there were your common variety laborers. You know they worked for the local gas company, the Edison, postal worker's and general laborer's. My brother and myself lived in a world where we were labeled and looked down upon. Not for who we were but but where we lived. It was difficult, and left an indelible mark on my life's journey. However, as time went by I realized, everyone puts their pants on the same way and if you have the nerve and the need to succeed you will. I can't tell you all the grizzly details of the shame when our light would get turned off because we didn't have the money to pay the bill. When on Friday, we were told not to answer the door because Mr. Klien was knocking to collect his weekly life insurance payment which was $2.00 per week. when we got older it became such a problem that once family's found out where we lived, girls would suddenly stop going out with us. Such is the life of the downtrodden, but I never felt that way and you can't let that keep you down. You are what you make of yourself and that's the truth. Peace and out.

First off, it doesn't matter what type of roast or beans you use really. It just matters that the coffee is ground to a certain fineness. This causes the massive amount of pressurized extraction you get from brewing it in an espresso machine!! The massive pressure that an espresso machine provides is the key to good espresso, not the beans or the blend, or the roast shade. In fact, some of the most powerful espresso I have ever tasted is from a roast that most people would describe as light roasted coffee!!  You see the way the espresso interacts with the brain is very different. It calls into attention a brain function called Adnosine which releases adrenaline into yo...

By Joe Leary/Principal/Lead Source Digital Marketer's & KYC Consulting on LinkedIn Today I would like to explain just how much the roasting process effects the coffee we consume on a daily basis. I sincerely hope you find this article enjoyable, interesting and informative. I am going to attempt to explain the 4 major roasting processes and what it does and doesn't do to the world's second most popularly traded commodity. Before I get started, there is something you need to know about coffee. When coffee is roasted it goes through a process, within that process the beans are altered by temperature and generally gas, LNG, electricity and even wood. During this process the beans reach levels within that process that makes the beans, "crack". Depending on how light or dark they are being roasting they "crack either once or twice. This alters the flavor profile tremendously, so please keep that in mind while reading this article. I have included some...
