My Other Product

Other than roasted coffee, the other products are Java Arabica Green Bean and Java Arabica Peaberry Green Bean.

Here is the updated pictures of the Java Arabica Green Bean (Export Quality) and Java Arabica Peaberry Green Bean.

The Peaberry Green Bean taste noticeably sweeter and more flavorful than standard-issue beans. Some people compare it to the Kopi Luwak or Wild Civet Coffee.

Mini Coffee Roaster

One of the process from bean to cup is roasting.
There are many ways of roasting coffee. Some use the old style (wok or skillet), some use popcorn roaster, hot air gun :) etc.

My first coffee roasting tool was a wok. The roast result was ok, but uneven. Then I tried popcorn popper, the result was more even roast, however it can only roast 40 gr per batch.

One day when I browsed the internet, I found this Mini Coffee Roaster, Made In Indonesia. I said to myself, I would like to try this machine and maybe I can start a commercial coffee production :). So I sold my radio collection and bought this machine.

This mini roaster is capable of roasting 1,2 kg of green bean and produce about 1 kg of roasted coffee.
Roasting result is quite good and the taste is quite delicious and drinkable.

Below is the picture of the machine and one of my coffee product, a Java Arabica City+ Roast or Medium Roast.

Cheers

Green Bean and Roasted Bean

Dear All,

This is my first entry in this blog  :)

I just want to share what I've been doing in learning about coffee.

The following are some pictures of coffee, from Green Bean to Roasted Bean. The green coffee bean is Java Arabica, originated from West Java.

There are two type of green bean in the following pictures :

1. Java Arabica (Export Quality)

2. Java Arabica Peaberry (or kopi lanang in Bahasa Indonesia), which has unique taste compare to the regular green bean.

The picture of the roasted bean is the regular Java Arabica, Full City roast. The taste is sweet, fruity and medium body.

Btw, the coffee is home roasted by myself   :)

Cheers
Muliawan
