How Coffee Bean Roasters Enhance the Taste of Coffee

May 3rd, 2010

Coffee bean roasters are essential to the process by which green coffee beans are transformed into the popular beverage. Without a good roaster, coffee beans do not develop the proper balance to create flavourful coffee. While most of these roasters are manufactured for commercial use in enterprises such as coffee shops, smaller models for home use have recently become more marketable.

Coffee beans are pale green in appearance and have a natural taste and odor that it acquires during its growth process. Roasting allows the most desirable flavours and aroma of coffee to come out. The roasting process also changes the beans’ color from green to yellow to dark brown. Large coffee plants usually employ an automated roasting process that requires very little human intervention. The roasted beans are then packed and sold accordingly.

The problem with roasted beans is that they quickly lose flavour; therefore, the sooner you use them after roasting the better it will taste. For this reason, some coffee shops buy their own coffee bean roasters so that they can provide their customers with fresh-tasting coffee at all times. This could also be why small roasters for home use are becoming more popular. Many individuals prefer to drink coffee made from freshly roasted beans, and what better way to enjoy the beverage than to create your own blend.

Coffee flavours are often defined by how they are roasted, and products are often described as light, medium, or dark roast varieties. It may surprise you to know that coffee beans lose some of their caffeine content as they are roasted. This means that while light roasting helps retain the beans’ original flavour, dark roasting means they contain the least amount of caffeine. Whichever type of roasting you prefer, you can experiment with your coffee bean roasters to create a flavour and aroma that is truly your own.

Usdbot – Boost your vitality level through most of these refreshments

May 1st, 2010

 

Have you found that you can find particular times of the day when you could just use an energy burst? If that is the situation, then you would greatly benefit from having an energy beverage instead of drinks that are caffeinated or even coffees. Let’s speak about three power drinks that arrive extremely recommended by individuals who do indeed consume them.As you may have guessed, you can find very easily countless power beverages to pick from, but, since we can’t talk about all of them, we will touch on 3 of them that are really popular. When you really feel the need for some pep inside your step, give these a try.The energy drink that’s very easily recognizable because it’s in the blue can is known as Sugar free of charge Monster power drink. This one is larger in size than most of those drinks and have been the one that functions the very best for me.

With this drink, you’ll not encounter any “crashing” whenever you beverage it since there is not any sugar in it. An additional additional bonus may be the low amount of calories that are in it.An energy drink that really has a lot of kick to it may be the Arizona Extreme Power Shot, which can be in the smaller can that’s 8.3 ounces I think. Now, it does taste somewhat various that what you might think it would, but, total, I have to say it truly is not poor.What a great buy this is – you can most likely get it in most stores for 99 cents. It will certainly give you that increase you’ll need and is such a great value for under a buck.

This short article wouldn’t be full without having mentioning the one beverage that originated this craze. Which is correct; Red Bull is really a fixture when it comes to these drinks. When you would like a drink which has more flavor to it, this may be the 1 you ought to select.

Reefs, rainforest and a new resort in Indonesia's far east

April 10th, 2010

But the NGOs weren’t the first people to engage with this place; rather a few intrepid pioneers who came for reasons other than conservation. After a week at Eco Misool Resort, I meet the man I’m told blazed Raja Ampat’s watery trails.

A dugong is not something I ever imagined laying eyes upon, much less from the air. From an altitude of 250m, it is a pale silhouette against the blue, whale-shaped to my untrained eye. The pilot, Max Ammer, spotted it, even though he was busy keeping our two-seater ultralight aloft.

“This is absolutely the best way to patrol Raja Ampat,” the Dutchman tells me over the intercom. As if to prove his point, we spot a ramshackle vessel in a concealed bay, leaking a slick of oil. We promptly dive to 20m to let the crew know they’ve been seen.

happy hour honeys: DIY: Lemon Drop Martini

April 9th, 2010

Posted by Kelly

Our days in the dorms resulted in many a horrible cocktail concoction…

Leslie and I in our dorm room Sophomore yearundoubtedly drinking room temperature vodka and juice…so when we moved into our house in North Portland it was time to create something delicious! Lemon Drop Martini’s became one of our go to cocktails throughout college when we were feeling classy and preparing for a great night, or when we just needed a tasty drink to take our minds off the pile of homework ahead of us.Lemon Drop Martini Recipe:1 1/2 oz Vodka (Plain or Citrus) 1 oz Triple Sec 1 oz Lemon Juice Simple syrup to taste, about a spoonfulYou will need: Juicer (electric, old school, or we’ve used our hands, a spoon…whatever gets the juice out!)Martini Shaker Ice

Start by making simple syrup. This is easy, and you can make extra to put in a glass container and store in the refrigerator for future creations. I like to make the mixture using approximately 2 parts sugar to 1 part water. This way the syrup is thicker and I use less of it. Heat 1 cup water, add 1.5 to 2 cups of sugar and let the sugar dissolve completely. Allow it to cool and store the extra.

Next juice your lemons, quantity will depend on how many drinks you’re making and how juicy your lemons are.

In your martini shaker, for 1 drink (double for 2), combine ice, 1 1/2 oz of vodka (for affordable plain vodka I prefer Monopolowa, for citrus anything goes, we’ve used Burnetts, Smirnoff, Absolut, Sky….use your favorite) 1 oz Triple Sec (also use your judgment, but some have more alcohol content than others, just saying) 1 oz lemon juice, and a spoonful of simple syrup.

Pour into sugared rim martini glass. Garnish with a small slice of lemon peel or a lemon twist.

Enjoy!Photos of a handful of other Lemon Drop Martini worthy occasions…

Advertising Memes – How to Hardwire Your Prospects to Buy From …

March 31st, 2010

“Meme” comes from a Greek word. In terms of marketing the word describes a “packet” of information that is comprehensible in an instant. In order to cut through the noise and jumble of advertising today only the most compelling and simple-to-understand “packets” succeed.

Memes in marketing are real. They are a mind-control device. This isn’t science fiction stuff. Geoff Ayling in his book “Rapid Response Advertising” tells all about it. It is one of my favorite books.

Memes are a sort of “instant recall” template in our brains. Sometimes a meme is a slogan, sometimes it’s a jingle, sometimes it’s a visual association. Whatever the form, a successful advertising meme gets under our skin and embeds itself into our subconscious mind from where it influences our actions.

Perhaps. But I think I can convince you that a meme can be used as a force for good… and that developing the right meme for your business or product could be the difference between struggling to succeed year-in, year-out and getting filthy rich.

Here’s a classic meme:

What’s not to like about Ike? His image was congruent, at least in public he succeeded in being likable in two elections… in part due to his charisma, appearance, and credibility – but it was all tied-together by the simple 3-word hear-it, say-it meme. Ike won by a landslide in 1953, ending a 20-year Democratic White House – even though he had NEVER HELD AN ELECTED OFFICE and thus wasn’t an experience legislator.

Ike’s election was a great triumph of populism… and it might have come off well even without the meme “I line Ike!” You can’t deny the power or the associations the slogan brings up.

Other famous memes include:

“Hot pizza delivered to your door in 30 minutes of less or it’s Free!”

“We’re number 2. We try harder.”

In both these cases the name of the business isn’t even included in the meme but the associations are so powerful the majority of Americans recognize these memes even though they may not have see the ads in years.

“Take the Pepsi challenge!”

I remember this from the 1970s and early 80s. I was a kid. I liked coke better but I did try Pepsi, as did most Coke drinkers… and Coke lost a huge market share to Pepsi in the space of a few years. Pepsi re-positioned Coke as being old-fashioned and uncool. The damage to Coke was brutal and the company spend incredible amounts of money trying to get the business back. One of the great marketing coups in history.

Let’s face it, the chances that your product or company will ever have such a successful meme as these ones is slim. Memes are powerful in more subtle contexts too. Ideally a meme will create, in the mind of your customers, a profound and compelling “reason” to buy from you. A combination of memes can even be used in layers to create the impression that your product or service is profoundly different from your competition – even though in reality it is not.

The differentiation between what you sell and what your competition sells is in the MINDS of the people who experience your products or your advertising.  Many business owners would be shocked at just how oblivious the public is to the value of their products, and how easily forgotten their advertising is.

There are not that many great memes visible in marketing today.  Some of the companies that have them however have triumphed in the marketplace.  Avis car rental’s Meme “We’re number 2 – we try harder” actually catapulted that failing company into a number 2 position… the Meme actually created the reality they were after.

The Marlboro Man is another successful meme.  The tag line is “Come To Where The Flavor Is – Marlboro Country” – and that’s okay but the real power of it comes with the layering of the associated images of male power and rugged Americanism.  The memes embedded in the collective consciousness of America and took Marlboro from being number 22 to being number one in cigarette sales.  It took a undistinguished, failing brand and created a multi-billion dollar brand.

I wouldn’t want to be involved with a poisonous product like cigarettes but you have to admit the meme is powerful indeed, and worth studying.  A number of liquor companies have sort of tried to borrow from the Marlboro meme with some success.  In essence Whiskey is, to most drinkers, pretty similar, yet effective memetic marketing has created brand-preferences in the minds of consumers which allow some brands to dominate.  When presented at a bar with 20 brands of Whiskey the drinker knows what he likes.  He has a preference that is in fact less based on his own real personal preference and more based in the effective mind-control marketing of memetic branding.

Powerful stuff indeed.
