10 lbs Sulawesi Torojaland Green Coffee Beans [10#Grn Sulawesi] $52.60

Green Coffee Beans  Sulawesi   Torojaland    10 pounds Green Coffee Beans  Specifics:  Name: Sulawesi Torojaland Origin: Sulawesi Region: Torojaland Farm: Various Varietal: Arabica Altitude: 1400-2000m Processing Method: Dry Drying Method: Sun dried. Cupping Notes:  Earthy, strawberry, juicy, cherry, nutty, heavy body, sweet.  About this Coffee:        I have been wanting to add this coffee for a few years now, and I had to now because of our Importer running out of Sumatra coffee. The text below is from the Cafe Imports Origin page about Sulawesi.  Sulawesian coffee is typical Indonesian, low acidity with full-bodied earthiness. This semi-washed to washed coffee is very similar to Sumatran coffee in cup profile.  The Dutch colonists called the island of Sulawesi Celebes, and you will still sometimes see people refer to the coffee or the island as Celebes.  If you like Sumatrans, consider giving Sulawesi a try as an origin.

With a Gene Café coffee bean roaster, producing a fresh, great-tasting cup of coffee at home has never been easier.

The ability to control the variables is key to producing the perfect roast, and the Gene Café has been engineered to give complete control over time and temperature– two important factors for achieving perfectly roasted beans. The Gene Café’s control panel is equipped with temperature and time controls capable of producing a full range of coffee styles, from a light American roast to a dark Italian roast that is ideal for espresso. The system’s large Pyrex® roasting chamber and clear safety cover allow users to check the progress of the entire half-pound batch– an advantage over many other roasters.

Gene Café’s Total Control system allows the user to make time and temperature adjustments on the fly without having to interrupt or re-start the roasting process. LED displays provide time and dynamic temperature information while audible tones alert the user to cycle changes. Newbies can follow the instruction manual’s simple time and temperature chart while experienced roasters will be pleased by how easy it is to fine-tune the process to personal tastes. Gene Café’s unique, patented off-axis roasting chamber and hot air convection system ensure even roasting regardless of the batch size. And because the flow-through convection system does not recirculate the hot air, Gene Café is exceptionally efficient at removing chaff, even from dry processed beans.
