We use only the finest 100% Arabica beans—nine varieties meticulously selected from around the world and combined into a single espresso blend. These beans are skillfully roasted and air-cooled—so they're never burned or bitter—ensuring a smooth and balanced taste. They're then packaged in an air-free environment using illy's proprietary pressurization system to seal in the precious aromas, oils and flavors. The result: Distinctive and consistent taste, as well as guaranteed freshness until the moment the can is opened and the coffee prepared. YUMM!!!!! ---------------- Sorry for commenting so late but they said the beans are air cooled??? Doesn't that oxidize them further to make them more bitter? I remember seeing an add in "Robb Report" yeah that magazine. That some people have gone so far as to buy the coffee beans grean and roast them at home in their uber expensive super deluxe all in one coffee machine that roasts, grinds, and pours. But the basic principle is don't expose the bean to air. Then illy says they seal in a proprietary system. Umm a vacuum or lack of air is proprietary? But if it taste good thats great for you. Though I have yet found the perfect cup of coffee. But I like "Brown Gold" if anyone can still find that brand. I believe it is 100% columbian bean. Plus Green Tea is great when coffee is not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Blacksmith Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 My favorite coffee is Kenya AA I roast at home. Fresh roasted coffee, less than 48 hours old, is so much better, the other stuff should have a different name. Starbucks, Barnies and the rest cannot touch fresh roasted coffee. www.sweetmarias.com Ahhh, a man who knows his coffee!! If it comes from an supermarket, corner store, a mas market "coffee house" in short, anywhere that does NOT roast and serve FRESH beans and by fresh I mean NO MORE THAN TWO WEEKS FROM ROAST DATE, it should not be called coffee! I ONLY buy coffee from local roasters who date their product with the DAY IT WAS ROASTED ON. The swill served at Starbucks, Petes, Dunkin Doughnuts, Winchels, Daily Grind, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf or any other mass market seller does NOT deserve the name coffee! If you do not have a good roaster near you or you want to save some money, roast your own, it is not hard to do. All you need is a cast iron skillet, a stove and a good vent hood. Green coffee costs about half of what fresh roasted coffee sells for but more than the stuff in the Folgers can. There is no such thing as FRESH GROUND COFFEE FROM A STORE, nor is there such a thing as fresh whole bean coffee IN A SUPERMARKET. You can get good coffee from these online vendors. Anything you choose is going to blow your socks off. Some of these sell both green and roasted coffee, others only one or the other. http://www.sweetmarias.com/ http://www.klatchroasting.com/ http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/ http://ourcoffeebarn.com/ http://caffedbolla.com/ http://www.pabloscoffee.com/ http://flyingfivecoffee.com/content/welcome http://www.greenbeanery.ca/bean/home.php http://www.ptscoffee.com/ http://www.terroircoffee.com/ http://www.burmancoffee.com/ http://www.freshcoffeebeans.com/ http://www.transcendcoffee.com/ http://www.storehousecoffee.com/ The top 3 I have bought from and have been very happy with, the rest are highly recomended vendors that I have no personal exprence with but have good reps. FRESH ROASTED, FRESH GROUND, BREWED AT 195 TO 205 F, These are mandatory things to getting a good cup. And by grinding fresh, I don't mean one of those whorley blade things either, they don't grind the beans, they beat them to death and in the process the chunks range from dust to bolders, you need consistant size gound coffee if you are going to avoid bitter over extracted swill that is passed off as coffee most of the time. A GOOD cup of coffee does not need sugar cream or flavors to help the taste, it is smooth, clean and wonderfull all on it's own. On the other hand, there isn't enough of these "add ins" to help a truly dreadfull cup of coffee that is, sadly, the norm in the food world.

twistedcrankcammer Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 How do you grind your beans?? Cuisinart Burr Mill Here, and I really like it. www.cuisinart.com/about_us/press_releases.php?pr=13 - Cached Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I bought a DBM-8 when I didn't know any better. Waste of money. It is not a burr mill, it is a blade type grinder posing as a burr grinder. If youl look at the "burrs" you will see knobs sticking up above the surface. These KNOBS are what does the "grinding" or really mashing. The cuts in the "burrs" are only for show. You can do MUCH better for not much more money with a TRUE burr grinder here. referb. for $63 plus shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 when camping we always take a couple pounds of this, usually keep a 2 gallon pot over the fire most of the day. With 50-80 people in our group we can run through the stuff pretty quick. Adark roasted blend of beans from Sumatra, Colombia, Mexico and Kenya.This blend is roasted to three levels (peak flavor, italian and french)creating a smooth and mildly earthy coffee with a winey aftertaste. Agreat choice for a robust all day dark roast.Dark : Colombia/Mexico/Kenya/Sumatra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
