New Project: Pay it Forward with Coffee

I have been on hiatus from my blog to finally birth a project I've been wanting to work on for awhile, Pay it Forward with Coffee.

In case you don't  know what Pay it Forward is... 1) yes, it's like the movie 2) It's doing random acts of kindness in hopes of creating a ripple effect for others to do the same.

Mission: To inspire happiness and productivity in coffee lovers 

My goals for this project are:

1) Help raise funds for Coffee Kids, and other coffee related non profits

2) Share and promote stories about people and companies that pay it forward with coffee to their community, farmers, and about their experience doing so.

3) To Inspire happiness and productivity among coffee lovers who pay it forward with measurable data that this is possible.

I'll be updating the website this week before the official launch.

I've had requests for a virtual coffee card so if you are a cafe', Roaster or supplier that would like to be added as one of the companies that support this project, please let me know. 

If you are interested in more information or want to collaborate, please email me at payitforwardcoffee@gmail.com

Cockpit Workout

Welcome.

Those of us who fly without auto pilot through rough air understand why AP was created.  Personally, I enjoy the cockpit workout every now and then after a double espresso.  Tea is also popular amongst pilots because the bags are portable.  For smaller airports, coffee is non existent or low quality.  Does anyone else desire a change here ?

Fresh Roast Coffee Roasters

 

Home coffee roasting allows you to safely and efficiently produce the freshest coffee beans giving you the most flavorful cup of coffee you will ever experience. It easy, economical and exciting. 

We are a family-owned, USA-based wholesaler and direct internet retailer of easy-to-use home coffee roasting equipment located in Park City, Utah and the largest and oldest US seller of affordable, efficient and safe home coffee roasters since 1996.

The company consists of my brother, Tim is the designer of the roasters and founder of FRCR, manages wholesale sales and serves as managing partner; Tim's daughter Adrienne, manages the Bean Store and the main office; and myself, Steve, managing direct retail sales.

Tim's background includes World Cup and professional alpine ski racer, consultant for various ski industry equipment manufacturers, original partner in Reflex Mountain Bikes.

I have been in the coffee business for 20+ years as owner and operator of a wholesale/retail coffee roasting business and owner/manager of a string of coffee shops in northern New England, in addition to importing and retail marketing of premium whole leaf teas and in house production of self-branded teabags .  

We offer 3 models at the moment; the SR300, SR500 which are of our own design and manufacture, and the GENE CAFE from our Korean partner, Genesis.

The SR300 is the entry level roaster. The operator has no control over the default fan and temperature controls, but has the ability to end the roast and begin cool down cycle. It roasts 4-5 ounces of green raw beans.

The SR500 roasts the same capacity, but allows the operator to control the fan speed and has 3 temperature settings which can be changed at any time during the roast.

The Genesis Gene Cafe offers the same manual controls as the SR500 but with a much larger roast capacity of 8 ounces of green beans.  

If you're interested, I would suggest you visit:

Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have on home coffee roasting or on a particular Fresh Roast model roaster, here on the BARISTA EXCHANGE blog.

Thanks for looking, Steve
