THE LITMUS TEST!! COFFEE POLL.

So I have not been posting everyday and there has been a significant increase in views even though this blog title is completely lame. For some reason the less I post the more people visit. I kind of get it but I am still thinking it is counter-intuitive to what I have learned about blogging. Oh well that is the learning curve I guess. So I have decided to take a poll of my readership. You are an incredibly quiet bunch I must say, you read this blog and have no comments or opinions on pretty much anything. You know it is fine, I get that but maybe you should voice your opinion and get interactive? I promise it won't be painful and it might be fun??? Or maybe not but hey, what the hell I'll give it a shot and based on your reactions I will give an honest opinion back. I promise.

So, large sigh, somebody laugh.................
1.) Do you prefer dark roast coffee or light roast coffee?

2) What would you pick if you had only one coffee to drink everyday for the rest of your life?

3) Do you think that the coffee brewing machine matters in the process?

4) Do you prefer a blend or a single growth coffee from a specific area of the world? i.e(Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Costa Rica etc.......?

5) What do you think about mail order coffee?

6) Do you support local roasters as opposed to national or multi-national brands?

7) Why?


Getting in touch with your audience is a huge thing, and I simply want to know you better. So I can deliver a service or a vehicle to help you. Coffee has been my life for 27 + years of my life. I have accumulated quite a bit of knowledge in the field. I always tell people I was selling the only legal drug in America. But it is true, it is addictive. I also know I have amassed a wealth of knowledge about business and the do's and don'ts, I will be certainly sharing those with you over the coming posts. But I want you to know that I appreciate your taking the time to read this blog and I would welcome some interaction. All the best to everyone!! Thanks for reading, Joe

The Coffee Roasting Process and Its Effects On The Products You Drink!

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...

How To Successfully Run A Commodity Based Business#commoditybusiness#freebusinessadvice

How To Successfully Run A Commodity Based Business     I have over 26 years of experience in a commodity based business. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just commodities, it was the number 2 traded commodity on the planet, coffee. Although I will be referring to coffee in this article, this information will translate into any commodity based business. One thing I do want to point out, that perhaps many haven't considered. Almost every business, if not every single business is affected in some way by commodities. Whether it is a meat packer buying boxes(by the way beef is a commodity), or a bakery packaging mini muffins in portion controlled lots. Yes, board to make boxes is a commodity, and many of the packaging materials a manufacturing facility uses is petroleum based. I could go on and on, but I just wanted to point out that understanding commodities and how to manage and minimize your exposure to wild price swings is an extremely important skill. So I'd lik...
