Q: How can I get FAST financing from an investor for the importation of "green organic coffee" grower direct !
Currently have an opportunity to import Green (raw) Organic coffee beans directly from a small group of growers in Chiapas MX, this type of coffee is currently the most sought after by wholesaler's & rosters.
need FAST initial funding to establish the require import/export companies and contractualy agree the growers to yield as much of the winter crop as possible (depending on the financing...) tremendous return on your investment need to react quickly.
A: Apply for a business loan from your bank.
Q: where can i order Trader Joe's organic Ethiopian coffee beans online?
This guy that works for our company brings cans of Trader Joe's Organic, shade grown, medium dark roast, Ethiopian coffee beans to work. We would like to order them online so that he doesn't have to keep on buying them for us and bringing them to work. Anybody know how we can order them? There isn't a Trader Joe's for about 60mi.
i already tried traderjoes.com...they don't sell them there...our office is to small to go through the hastle with negotiating delivery arrangements, any other ideas?
A: Actually, the Trader Joe's website does not offer online ordering. :( I wonder if the next time he goes to the store he can work out some kind of delivery with them (depending on how big your office is maybe)?
Q: What's the best temperature to roast coffee beans in my oven?
I got these bulk organic coffee beans but they only came in medium roast. What's the best temperature to roast them darker in my oven, and should I use the broiler setting or not? How can I tell when they have a nice deep roast without getting all burned? Starbucks for example would be a bit too burned for me.
A: I bought green coffee beans and they told me to roast them at 400 degrees. It worked, but smoked up my kitchen like crazy, activated the fire alarm...made for a really bad sunday morning!
I later found that I could put a single layer in a skillet over medium heat and just heat them gently while moving them around a little, I have a gas range, so it was fast and worked well with way less smoke.
You could also skip the roasting and try grinding them really fine to make the flavour stronger.
Q: Should coffee beans be wet in the bag?
I was shopping for organic coffee beans last night, and in one brand I found, the beans were wet inside the (clear) bag. Is this normal? They had several varieties and they were all slightly wet. I have read about wet processing, but could not find anything about them remaining wet after packaging.
A: What looks like wet could be oil if they are a very dark roast. But wet processing should not leave moisture in the bag.

Q: Are coffee grinds edible?
Hello,
I have some organic coffee beans that I bought from Costco earlier in the week, they have a very fresh aroma to them. I was wondering if I can forego brewing coffee in a coffeemaker and just grind the coffee, pour hot water and then, after drinking the coffee, eat the grinds at the bottom of the cup?
Thanks,
Av
A: Of course you can. Turkish coffee is very similar to what you're talking about, but it is very finely ground and people who drink it usually don't drink it to the bottom, but you certainly can. And, as mentioned prior here, chocolate covered coffee beans are a very popular treat. Coffee grounds are also often used in baking to add taste and crunch.
Q: How many calories in coffee?
I have coffee made from whole organic beans straight from a coffee maker. A bit of frothy skim milk on top and thats it.
How many calories in one cup?
A: There are usually no more than 2 calories in a cup of coffee. Awesome, huh?
So the only calories you need to worry about are those from the skim milk!
Q: Organic Free Trade Shade Grown Coffee?
I am looking for a coffee company, that has their beans in stores that are regularly available, safeway/qfc/new seasons/wild oats/ etc. I would like this coffee to be Organic, Free Trade (meaning no slave labor) and shade grown, so that they do not support deforestation. Does anybody know of a place?
Thanks
A: Certified Organic Kona coffee would fit that description. You can find it in some specialty coffee shops, but that doesn't help you. Sorry.
Most Kona coffee is not shade grown because we don't have to shade the trees. We have a volcanic haze that surrounds the higher altitudes that serves as a natural UV filter. Since it was volcanic soil with little growing on it there was no deforestation. It is free trade as you can get... we go to the farm and deal directly with the grower. The typical coffee farm in Kona is between 10 and 12 acres and family owned an operated.
Q: Good place 4 great tasting fresh quality ground espresso in/near Berkeley? My prefered taste= Coffee Bean.?
Starbucks is way too bland, Pete's is too strong...I'm somewhere in the middle. Too bad Coffee Bean is in SF :( I'm looking for something in the east bay...the closer to Berkeley the better.
Also- if organic really makes a difference, I'm all for it. If you know of any cafes, shops, or supermarkets where I can get my 1lb ground espresso whenever I run out, I'd really appreciate it :) Thx!
A: Talk to Peets about their strengths. Their selection has all strengths. Maybe you're using too much coffee. I think their mildest is at the bottom of their price list. I like Major Dickinson, it's about in "the middle". Go to their shop on Vine, a couple blocks up from Shattuck. That's the original store and they are very knowledgable.
Q: Does anyone know the company that makes coffee from beans that aren't coffee beans?
A couple of years ago my sister bought me a bag of what I thought was coffee. After reading the label I saw that it was meant to be brewed like coffee but it wasn't made from coffee beans. It was made from an organic bean from an exotic country. Since it wasn't made from a coffee bean it was completely caffeine free and tasted just like coffee. Great coffee as a matter of fact. I'm pretty sure I saw the Fair Trade logo on the bag. I meant to keep the bag but it is gone. I would like to order more and support the Fair Trade Community, but I can't remember the name of the manufacturer.
A: Barley.

Q: Does Starbucks "spike" their coffee? Add extra caffeine?
Do they treat it chemically, or add caffeine, or something?
I have two containers of the same type of coffee - one's Starbucks, and the other is another brand made by a company that boasts about being "organic" and "natural."
The coffee beans look the same, same type, same darkness of roast, etc., and smell SIMILAR but the Starbucks container has a "sharper" odor.
I know from brewing coffee from both that the Starbucks batch IS stronger, has more caffeine.
Do they spike their coffee?
If so, why?
A: I'm positive that they do, and I think the reason is just plain competition. If someone NEEDS to have their coffee in the morning, and they like it strong, they'd go to Starbucks because they know that it'll give them the boost they need.
I read an article a while ago that said that a study was done comparing a bunch of brand name coffees, including Starbucks, and they found that Starbucks coffee had sometimes three times more caffeine in it than a regular coffee. (Read the article here: http://www.slate.com/id/2107807/ )
Q: If you could have an organic scent imprinted on your skin forever, what would it be?
So no perfumes like CK1 but an organic item like jasmine, coffee bean, cocoa, evergreen, etc.
Mine would be lavander.
