The Roasting and Blending Process in A Commercial Enviroment

by Joe Leary

I have been away a long time on this blog, which really wasn't intentional but I kind of gave up because I was writing my life's story and it pretty much seemed like no one gave a shit!
And pretty much that's the way life is I guess. However, I have been tasting, approving, blending and roasting coffee in a commercial business for over 28 years, so I have decided to continue on. The sole purpose of this blog is to educate people in the process of commercial coffee roasting, to tell my personal story, and to hopefully monetize this thing so I get rewarded for the real and truthful content I deliver on a post by post basis! I am not doing this for my health. I love coffee and always will, it has brought me a lot of success and a lot of pain and heartache over the years. I want people to buy what I suggest, but only for the right reasons. I am not going to be promoting crap on this site, but I also want people to understand that I do want to earn an income from my vast experiences in this business!
If you don't agree or don't like my purpose? Go somewhere else really I won't be offended. But I can promise you this, you won't find this information as straight up as I tell you and you will learn a few things along the way. If that's not a deal go to your local Dunkin Donuts and drink their shit coffee or better yet, go to Starbucks where they burn it beyond recognition, so you don't have any idea what you are drinking anyway!
So there you go my first post in quite awhile....... There'll be more and it will be more frequent and it will be full of information. So Hello everyone! I'm Back..like it or not

The Espresso Information!!

Hi everyone, I LOVE a good espresso and it always troubled me about the lack of knowledge some people had about coffee and espresso, especially in the U.S., because that's where I am from, I am not sure this is prevalent throughout the world, but there are some things everyone should know about espresso. 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

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
