I did a couple of movies this morning of me roasting coffee.  I am using our USRC 12 kilo roaster that I have connected to a laptop.  They are not the greatest videos out there but I am a coffee roaster, not a cameraman!  Visit our YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/ourcoffeebarn I will also embed at least one video on this post too.

I am starting my roasting schedule right now.  I will be busy roasting and I won’t be able to answer the phone, calls may go to voice mail.  I will check my voicemail and email throughout the day and reply when I can.

Thank You!

Pete

The following post is the current offerings as of the publish time of this post.

Ready to Ship Roasted Coffee Specialty Grade Roasted Coffee Roasted and Ready to Ship Roasted Coffee Beans If you can’t wait until one of our roasting days (Monday and Thursday mornings) for fresh roasted coffee? Want to save some money and still enjoy great coffee? A little like the “Day Old” section in a Bakery. But not even close to the bargain bin of, beyond the “sell by date” in the grocery store. We will take coffees off the Pre Roasted Coffee listings if they are still there after 30 days. Coffee is still considered fresh longer than this by many of the bigger roasters. Any coffee we take off the Pre Roasted Section because it is over 30 days since roasted will be donated to a local food shelf. I have read that the “mermaid logo” (Starbucks) coffee company let’s ALL of their coffee “rest” and “de-gass” for 2 weeks before it is loaded onto the trucks for delivery to another regional warehouse, before it is trucked again to a retail store and ends up on a shelf for sale. How fresh can that be? Consider this when you purchase coffee from this section! The prices will be unbeatable! The free 1/2 pound with each 2 pounds purchased DOES NOT apply to this section! If you check this section on a regular basis you should be able to find some incredible deals!

Paul from US Roaster Corp sent me a software update to fix some minor flaws in the program of my profiler.  I got it installed OK and the roaster is up and running just fine!

I turned 45 today and to celebrate, we are having a special on two of our blends on the Wholesale Store! Raging Bull Espresso Blend for the dark roast fans and Farmers Morning Blend for the lighter roast fans.  Both can be used as either a drip brewed house special or as an espresso blend for the espresso based drinks or as straight espresso.
