Roaster - Flavor Maker – Perfection Chaser

What

Roasting is part art, part science, and a great dollop of patience. It's a great deal of experimentation, documentation, trial and error backed by some basic rules. But when a bean get’s the right amount of heat, at the perfect time of its roast . . . Magic has been created.

Magic = The starches of the bean are converted to sugars while maintaining the integrity of the origin of the original unroasted bean achieving 'balance' in the final product.

When

Fresh roasts are processed a couple of times a week all seasons in the mild Tenerife weather.   Orders are 'RTO', that is I will roast when ordered, thus the 2-day (or so) turn around in the Summer.

Where It All Started

Shakopee MN

Home of 41.5 thousand people south west of the Twin Cities.  Home of Valley Fair and  Canterbury Park racetrack. 

The name Shakopee has it's origins in the number six when a native gave birth to sextuplet boys - and thus created the first Chief Shakopee.

Why

Having access to and engineering out the freshest roasted coffee from around the world makes this all worthwhile. Researching and experimenting are fun. Sharing what I have learned and can do with my friends is a bonus!
