The Importance of Keeping Your Coffee Equipment Functioning

A clean set of utensils will make the difference when you serve coffee. 

Making a good coffee cup requires high-quality ingredients, but also it depends on a neat workspace and a good equipment. Most of the machines need a lighten maintenance once in a while. Whether passing a cloth on its surface or applying special products on its internal parts, espresso machines require constant maintenance for its efficient operation.

For a former barista, tools are like a third hand. Without proper supplies, the final drink could be adulterated by harmful substances to the customer's health. That's why, if you own an espresso machine and a grinder, surely you know how important it is to keep them clean.  

Why should you do a backflush?

Using the pressure valves, backflushing forces water mixed with cleaner travel through the machine's system to remove any particles and leftovers.

It's recommended to do a backflush once a week. Although your daily routine doesn't allow you with enough free time, you should do a backflush at the end of the working day, while you're calculating your earnings.

Doing a backflush is simpler than it looks. First, you need to make sure your machine is turned on and that the pressure valves are not clogged. After this, check if the drift tray is empty. Remember, your machine should be filled with clean water.  

Next, put a blind filter into your portafilter adding a special cleaner. When it's ready, insert your portafilter and start your machine. Experts recommend to do it 5 times in a row. That way, you'll be sure that there is no dirt on the system.

Are there other processes you can do to maintain your espresso machine?

• To keep your workspace dirtless, always have close a cloth exclusive for your espresso machine. Clean it every time you use it to maintain its particular glow (also, this habit makes your work more hygienic for customers security!).
• Brushes are a great way to clean these difficult spots in your espresso machine. Use them according to your device's model. Usually, the companies that manufacture the machines sell the brushes separately.
• Once every three months, check out the rinser spare parts. It's recommended to change it once in a while to avoid bad functioning. Also, inspect the valves, even if you don't have any problem with pressuring.
• Once every year, disarm your espresso machine rebuilding steam assembly, the water tap, and the boiler level probe to clean the dust and putting some oil if it's needed.

Just as you like to make the best coffee, you should also be aware of the needs of your machine. Here at That Coffee Roasters, we work to prepare you for the coffee industry. Read more of our entries to get the latest info about coffee and the wonders of this delicious beverage. Tell us your experience!

Nitro Coffee: What's It All about?

Nitro coffee is a nitrogen infused brew that features a pressurized, iced coffee serving.

Cold brewed coffee is a popular option for those who don't want to sacrifice their favorite morning beverage in summer. It can be served as a less temperature drink or mixed with other ingredients like liqueur or ice cream. The result? A refreshing drink for whenever the sun is at the top of the sky.

A trendy recipe that uses cold brewed coffee is nitro coffee, a famous drink on the market that's now served at coffee bars. This beverage is made by the fiery mix of coffee and liquid nitrogen. Don't worry! This chemical is used to quickly cold your drink by adding it in small doses, and when it's mixed with coffee, the liquid nitrogen creates a creamy foamy beverage.

Nitro coffee: science and gastronomy best teamwork!

According to basic chemistry, the bubbles of liquid nitrogen are lighter than other chemical elements. So, when it comes in contact with another liquid like water or coffee, the presence of oxygen makes the liquid nitrogen more difficult to dissolve. That's why the final product is a thicker drink.

Due to the popularity of this beverage, most baristas have created their own nitro coffee drink. Also, if you don't want a formal drink, you can order your nitro coffee with syrup or vanilla for a sweeter touch, or drank in cans, like regular beer.

One virtue of coffee is that you can personalize your drink as much as you want. Here, at That Coffee Roasters, we promote alternative ways to drink it! Would you like to try nitro coffee, any of its presentations? Tell us below and share your experience with another coffee lover.

The addition of nitrogen to the equation results in a sweet, creamy drink.

Tutor your Customers the Art of Coffee

If you instruct your customers about the art of making coffee, they will definitely return for more.

Cafés are a place for relaxation, calmness, and reading. People often seek these places to disconnect from their routine, and as they take a sip of their favorite coffee, peace fills their minds. But there’s something that coffee lovers crave from this particular spot, more than having their loved beverage; they want to see their curiosity fulfilled about coffee.

Many of your customers seek for that piece of knowledge that will get them more into this wondrous world of coffee. But how do you teach and instruct your customers about it? The answer is very simple; you have to provide them with the resources to satisfy their curiosity.

Books

Written contents are, if not the best sources of information, one of the most reliable ways to provide information. Coffee books are filled with countless facts, historical resources and images that will educate any reader on the matter. There’s nothing more rewarding than reading a book that’s filled with all you need to know about the drink you love.

Printed material

Printed material filled with infographics or just information about coffee beans is the easiest way to engage with customers. Images create a positive impact on anyone who’s enjoying their cup of coffee, further turning your place into a positive attraction to those who enjoy a fast reading.

Personal reach

Have a member of your personnel to reach out to your customers and tutor them about this art. Most curious customers enjoy a nice, short conversation about the preparation, brewing, and roasting of coffee. But don’t just reach for any client, keep an eye on those who seem interested and would actively exchange words with your professionals.

Coffee places shouldn’t be just a shop to buy-and-go. If you’re the owner of a café and wish to improve the quality of your service, then adding these will do the job. Don’t forget that happy customers make loyal clients, and there’s nothing wrong with having loyalty when selling.

We know how much you enjoy when your café is full with happy customers, this is more valuable than just selling to earn. Why not give those clients the best products in the market? That Coffee Roasters have the answer for that. Their coffee products cover the quota of excellence and quality in a cup. Contact them and order only the best!

Coffee and Wine: The Ultimate Infusion

This blend results from the carefully selected coffee beans and the addition of wine to the equation.

The title you just read might sound crazy, if not impossible. But with all the combinations of coffee that are out there, it doesn’t come as a surprise that two sworn enemies in the market (wine and coffee) could ally and form a delightful beverage. Today, we’ll show you it is possible.

The joining of coffee with wine

Coffee wine is not that uncommon, and for those who have cravings for a joined taste of coffee and the berry and the soft taste of the wine, there’s wine-infused coffee! But how is this coffee made?

The selected coffee beans are put to rest in an artisan-crafted wine. This is where the beans absorb all of its flavors, then they get dried up and hand-roasted. Results turn out to be a whole enriched batch of coffee with a characteristic flavor of wine.

The minds behind this idea were Napa Valley’s Molinari Private Reserve and John Weaver, the master roaster of Wild Card Roasters. Their work took several years to develop this combination. The results turned out to be an excellent energy-boosting and alcoholic depressant beverage.

How to make it

According to their website, they suggest using filtered or bottled water with a French Press. For small pot press, use .6 oz, and for large ones 1.5. oz of a medium grind. The first step is to put the grounds in the bottom, pour in hot water half way and stir; this will make the drink release a small head of foam.

At this point, you just have to wait 2.5 minutes and press slowly. If it gets difficult, wait a few more minutes. Do not let it sit on a burner or use a warming plate; this will cause the beans to overcook.

As you can see, it is possible to make a batch of wine infused coffee, and its taste is just beyond expectations. Of course, this couldn’t be possible without some quality beans to ensure a good batch.

That Coffee Roasters is a company of specialty coffee sourcing and roasting. They have the experience on their side and can assist you in choosing what’s best for your business. Contact them now to get only the best in the market!

This interesting combination creates a pleasant feeling and rises the energy to start your day.

Pulped Natural Coffee: Sweet Results in a Cup

Pulped natural consists of letting the coffee dry with almost all the pulp still in the beans, resulting in a sweeter bean.

Pulped natural coffee is a term that many people don’t know. But if you have ever heard it, do you really know what it is? To many, this processing method is strange and mysterious. But today you’ll learn all about it! We’ll explain to you what is it, what’s its flavor profile and if this process affects in a positive or negative way the production process.

What’s pulped natural coffee?

This term is used for coffee in which the skin that covers the pulp of the coffee cherries is removed by pressing them between two adjacent rolling pins, in a device called “pulper.” After the fabrication of the cherry pulp, they are set to dry. Once the pulp, called mucilage, is dried, the grains go through a huller that removes it.

This method has to be done with care, as there’s a good chance of developing mold formations that can spoil the coffee. There are small variations in this process that are considered amongst the pulped natural coffee method, such as the honey processing, and the semi-dry method. In both processes, the coffee is dried leaving a small bit of pulp, to infuse flavors to the coffee bean after the processing.

The general variation, as far as pulped natural coffee goes, is in the amount of mucilage or pulp left behind in each bean. Considering that the removal of the skin is what begins this process, and the percentage of pulp left to dry will determine the profile variations per bean, as well as the drying process that these beans undertake.

What about its flavor?

Since this method requires full maturation of the beans for the flavor profiles to develop, its flavor is incredibly unique. It’s much sweeter, and it creates a superior quality coffee product. It proffers unique aromatic qualities that people can perceive and, in general, it generates a softer acidity with a stronger fruity profile.

This will, of course, depend on the amount of mucilage left and the drying process. As most of the sun-dried natural pulp coffee beans require more time to dry, they are often more fruity than their semi-dry counterparts. It also has to do with the location of the coffee crop, as tropical varieties often generate denser profile flavors.

Production advantages

With pulped natural coffee, producers get an incredible advantage over their competitors. How? Simply; they can reduce space in the production and drying process to generate more specialized products. The fermentation, drying, and processing, however, requires a heavy investment. Pulped beans require special care to avoid excessive fermentation and mold appearance in the beans, as well as residue handle that can be produced by it.

Do you want to know more about the coffee process? This is a vast world of knowledge that you can explore. Want to acquire incredible coffee? Then That Coffee Roasters are the roasters you must contact. Contact them and see how you can acquire amazing flavors in coffee products!

This process involves the removing of just a portion of the pulp before the drying of the beans.

Decaf Coffee: Less Caffeine, Same Drink

There is a wide array of health benefits your body can get from drinking decaf coffee.

Coffee is one of the best things in the world. The number of people that consume it daily is astounding! For that reason, decaffeinated alternatives have arisen to save the day. According to the FDA, a decaf must not contain more than 3% of caffeine per cup. But what are the benefits of limiting your caffeine intake? Is it really that much of a good alternative for you? Find out how this amazing variation of coffee can change your life.

Prevents premature brain aging

People with type 2 diabetes and senior people often suffer from premature brain aging because the metabolization of sugar decreases with both of these conditions. Decaffeinated coffee increases the metabolization of sugar from meals, helping their brains acquire the necessary energy in order to have healthier brains.

Prevents renal problems

Type 2 diabetes often affects several organs aside from the liver. One of the main problematics comes to the kidneys, as they are often overused by the natural conditions of the disease. For the people that consume decaffeinated coffee, the risks of harming their kidneys are lower. As it reduces the risk of swelling of the renal structure, also preventing damage to the normal process that happens in them on a daily basis.

Improves digestion

Coffee is a powerful digestive, but decaffeinated coffee has incredible effects on your tummy. In fact, certain studies show that you can bring in fewer carcinogens from meals if you drink them with this kind of brew. While we don’t often consider this an alternative, we actually consume a small number of these chemicals. But remember, if you want to have all of its benefits, you might need to cut down on the sugar and cream with your decaf.

Improves your liver health

A scientific study concluded that people that consume decaf have less hepatic enzymatic problems, making them less likely to develop a liver condition throughout their lives. While this also occurs with caffeinated coffee, the main benefit for the liver includes less stress in the production of other chemical compounds on the liver.

There are other benefits to get decaffeinated coffee; many of them include the fact that you can rarely feed the normal “hangover” you get after the effect of caffeine passes. As you can see, decaf is not only delicious but great for your health. The best thing? It keeps all the flavor and aroma from your regular shot of coffee! Do you want to acquire great coffee options? Then That Coffee Roasters is the place for you. Contact them and experience how professional work!
