Raw Kopi Luwak To Roast At Home

May 6th, 2015

Wild, Free Roaming, Kopi Luwak, Raw Coffee

http://bit.ly/CivitCoffee   Raw, Organic, Traceable Cage Free Kopi Luwak to Roast At Home.

Kopi Luwak – The most expensive and rare coffee on the planet.
This is the coffee that Jack Nicholson’s character in The Bucket List describes as the best he’s ever had.Wild, Uncaged, Kopi Luwak, Raw Coffee

Newcomers, this Kopi Luwak is raw coffee, unroasted. Also called “green coffee.” You need to roast it first before grinding. Roasting only takes about 10 minutes and its super easy. Look around our site if you have any questions.

What’s special about THIS Kopi Luwak?  It’s 100% traceable through World Animal Protection at freely living in the highlands of the Gayo Mountains in Northern Sumatra. A few years ago we stopped selling Kopi Luwak due to a rise in caged Luwaks.

THIS Wild Kopi Luwak comes exclusively from Monitored farmers and is therefore completely traceable to the coffee farmer where no caged animals are kept in or around the farms. We refer to the Code of Conduct CF.B.7 clause, which states: “There are no animals used to produce any kind of animal coffee held in captivity on the farm.”

You gourmands might be interested to know that these are in fact Arabica beans, not Robusta as some Kopi Luwak may be. Who likes a big steamy Robusta? when you can have a… never mind. The point is, you want Arabica Kopi Luwak, never Robusta.

Aside from the silliness, these are surprisingly good looking and well processed beans. At first whiff there is a musty/tangy quality to the raw coffee. The grading is uniform and clean, as good or better than a lot of raw coffee you might see. In the sunlight the beans have an interesting translucency similar to some huehuetenengo. You’ll recognize them immediately as Sumatra, but a deeper tone.

This may not be the coffee for everyday occasions, but its worth crossing off your list as something you’ve tried at least once in your life.

SR500 Roaster Arrival, Roaster are in SF NOW

March 20th, 2015

OUR ROASTERS ARE IN SAN FRANCISCO !! And we’re looking at a Tuesday 3/24 ship starting with the oldest orders first

If you have not ordered yet, DON’T FORGET THE PRICE INCREASE of $10 starts SOON.

We WERE hoping for Friday (today) but customs delayed them another day. So we’re looking at a Tuesday ship. We’ll have them in the So. SF warehouse on Monday at about 2, BUT there’s NO chance of getting them across the bay and to the other warehouse for packing and shipping before like 7 PM. However… barring Flying Monkeys, we should be good to go Tuesday.

For simple efficiency, we may go ahead and do Fedex Labels (A LOT of them) on Monday post dated to Tuesday (so the arrival dates stay mostly accurate.) Many of you should see movement by late late Tuesday evening.

Good, right?

SR500 Coffee Roaster Arrival News

February 19th, 2015

The latest news as of yesterday was that the freighter should now arrive closer to the end of March. We originally expected SR500’s end of February. But the Oakland port strike here is messing things up for everyone. And then there’s customs clearances which could go quickly or not, effecting unloading in Oakland.

The Coffee Project currently has the 6 lbs of beans offer on our site until the roasters are imminent. But we’re also getting a lot of pre orders stacking up already, and based on past history of this type of thing, there’s a chance I could sell out of our incoming order before the NEXT freighter arrives in (I’m guessing) May. As supplies dwindle and arrival gets closer, the present online offer will end.

Coffee Project SR500 Fresh Roast Home Coffee Roaster. Best Home Roaster.

The manufacturer has also requested all Freshroast vendors raise prices to a $179 MAP (+$10) with his wholesale price increase at the end of March. So all lots of reasons to pre-order NOW, even if the SR500 coffee roasters are still many weeks away.

(You know what? even think about ordering some for next Christmas. Yeah, really. Six lbs of beans and a $10 bump coming up? An order of 4 roasters is $40 bucks less and you get 24 lbs of beans to roast in the meantime. Just sayin.)

If there’s any good news, it’s that The Coffee Project has typically been able to start shipping within half a day of a freighter unloading and supplies reaching the warehouse. Most of our competition have to wait for their supplies to arrive by truck to them before they can ship. To the Midwest or East Coast that’s another 4-5 days before their shipping can even start. So in addition to a great short term deal going on, The Coffee Project is generally way ahead in super fast shipping of FreshRoast roasters.

• Timor Fair Trade Organic DECAF DECAF Timor FTO Swiss Water Process

Timor FTO Swiss Water Process DECAF

DECAF Timor FTO SWP coffee is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process. The raw coffee beans are pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction, then introduced to a solution concentrated with coffee solubles that extract the caffeine without extracting the coffee’s particular flavor.

Decaf has come a long way in the last decade or so. So you’ll notice a much more natural color in water process beans, and overall, better quality beans are being used as demand for good quality decaf has grown. Better beans in the first place produce better decaf. This decaf Timor is Sumatra-like, lightly earthy,. Nice body, Some fruit, balanced.

No Time Like the Present.

November 22nd, 2014

Q:   I would like to order the roaster that comes with beans.  I am not sure if I can order it now and the beans will be good still or if I should wait until closer to Christmas.  Please advise.

A:   It’s no problem at all to order now. When coffee is raw it’s like split peas or lentils, you could keep it for years.  It’s only when coffee is roasted that it should get used up within a week or so.

Generally, people don’t store raw coffee for years because just like split peas or lentils, coffee is on a yearly cycle. Another crop is not a long wait.

There’s some care to be taken in long term storing, but you’re totally safe to hang onto raw coffee for many months and they’ll be fine.  It’s one of the pluses that comes with home coffee roasting.
