Artisan Roasting

At Big City Coffee, we hand-select the green coffee beans to order, blending the required varieties or choosing the best single origin gourmet beans. Then we artisan roast the beans in small batches using a 5 kilo drum roaster.

It’s an intimate craft process; you hear the beans tumble, feel the heat transfer, smell the coffee as it roasts, then you thrill to the snap and crackle of the beans as they reach the peak of their roast cycle.

The perfect results cascade from the drum into the cooling tray before being inspected again to assure the roast quality.

Your order is then weighed, bagged, and packed by hand, insuring that many of our coffee experts have agreed to put their names on the quality testament for every customer order.

Guest Post

Coffee is a universal drink consumed all over the world. There are many whose daily chores always start with a hot cup of coffee. Nowadays, modern cafes have promoted Coffee as an essential element of social networking amongst people of different strata. Apart from homes, even in workplaces and offices, there is always an informal exchange of one’s’ thoughts and feelings around a coffee machine.
In India, people of different regions consume both coffee and tea as their regular daily beverages. Coffee is predominantly consumed in the South India and the North Indians prefer tea. There is a traditional method of preparation of Coffee in the orthodox South Indian homes. This method has been in vogue for centuries and those who are addicted to the “Filtered Coffee”, as it is known, will not accept any other type of coffee including the commercially available “Espresso” in the coffee shops.
The coffee recipe of these particular South Indian homes goes like this – they purchase the coffee beans from the shops, mostly the local variety grown in the ‘Coorg’ district of India. These beans are roasted and ground in small home coffee grinders. Some people also mix a small percentage of what is known as “chickaree” beans, before grinding, to get a specific flavour to the coffee.
The ground coffee powder is stored in the homes and brewed as a ‘decoction’ in small filters with hot water. South Indians prefer the coffee to be quite ‘strong’ and the filtered liquid is mixed with boiled milk and sugar to get the famous “South Indian Filtered Coffee”. The coffee is served in a small stainless steel tumbler. If you happen to visit a typical South Indian home, remember to ask for their special “Filtered Coffee” and you can enjoy the drink with its rich flavour and aroma.

Maintaining Coffee Consistancy And Roast Quality

A customer recently emailed us that they liked our Big City Coffee blend and wanted to know about our consistancy and quality control.

That’s a great question for any small artisan coffee roaster commited to delivering every order to high standards. The great artisan roasters are fanatics about repeatable processes to achieve predictable results. It’s the variables that will drive the Roastmaster nuts; and the biggest variable is – (drum roll (it’s a pun!), please…) – The Bean.

The following is from my reply; it’s also posted here so you can add your comments, too.

We’re roasting all of the Big City Coffee brands 2-3 times a week and deliver it fresh
And quality is excellent and consistent…the beans are hand-selected and every roast is done on a small batch roaster and monitored by one our expert roastmasters.

We do a tasting several times a week, too, just for fun

An issue with small estate coffees is getting enough high-quality beans that are consistent from season to season. It’s more of a problem with ’single origin’ bean, like PanAltura, or all from one farm…even though the cup quality may be high from season to season, the taste may vary a little – like wine vintages – because of weather, soil, and other seasonal growing conditions.

With the blends, like Big City, or HiFi, it’s easier to find substitute high quality beans that still maintain the same great taste.

Megabucks and other large-scale roasters keep the taste the same by:

1) warehousing tons of product for 3-4 years (green beans do not improve with age)

2) using up to 30%+ lower-quality ‘filler’ bean

3) and over-roasting to add caramelized sugars to cover the underlying taste

But, if that’s what you like, and it fits your budget, you should probably stick with it…

More Coffee Facts

Panama is one of the smallest coffee growing regions but its unique coffees have become a necessity to all specialty coffee roasters of the world.
A coffee roaster seeking certain coffee beans to enhance his signature blends enjoys one of the best perks of purchasing green coffee beans. It is ‘direct farm relations’. Roasters who really want to know their coffees journey, travel the world to find certain beans with certain nuances. Earthy Naturals from Brazil and Africa, Crisp and Clean Acidity from Central America, a mild salty start and full body from Indonesia and the floral sweetness from Panama. Then like a chemist they work to make the perfect cup of coffee.
The world’s top coffee today – Boquete Gesha – has her noble lineage from seeds acquired by Don Pachi Serracin from the Center for Tropical Crops in Costa Rica back in the late 20 century. Clusters of Gesha trees are now climbing the highest hills all over Panama’s diverse microclimates – with a pleasant surprise! The abundant flavors that are exhibited produce an outstanding cup yet no one is as unique as Jaramillo Especial, the winners of this year Best of Panama.

The altitude at which a coffee is grown plays a major role in determining the quality of the bean.

Because there is less oxygen, coffees grown at higher altitudes take longer to mature than plants grown at lower altitudes.

This allows the flavors to develop more fully and produces beans that are delicate and flavorful.

Higher-grown coffee beans usually have a higher density than low-grown beans,
which enhances the complexity of the coffee flavor profile.

Most coffees from Panama and Central American are graded by altitude. (2,000-5,000 ft)

Altitude Bean Type:

* above 1.600 meters Strictly Hard Bean
* 1.350 – 1.600 meters Hard Bean
* 1.200 – 1.350 meters Semi Hard Bean
* 1.000 – 1.200 meters Extra Prime Washed
* above 600 meters Prime Washed
