more compostable Coffee bags! Deep Cello has used compostable coffee bags since it started. But there have been surprisingly few suppliers of these compostable bags. So were happy to see new suppliers come online, using bags that can be returned to the environment from whence they came.

Coffee Powered Car Takes World Record

dcdev — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:07:22 +0000

Most people are not aware of it but any carbon-based material, including coffee, can be “gasified,” to release its organic benzene molecules and arrange them so that they can burn as a fuel. The German’s did this with coal during World War II. The process is expensive, but it works! The car in the image below reached a brisk 65 miles an hour in a test. It doesn’t look like much more than a Volkswagon Thing, pickup-version, but as any of us know who partake in the earth’s favorite beverage, anyone can run 65 miles an hour with the right beans!

Here’s the link to the Fox News video and story.

Drinking Deep Cello

With all the choices that coffee buyer’s have today, there are a few things to keep in mind when you buy coffee on line. The first is that coffee roasters purchase green coffees in bulk and then sell off that inventory as orders come through. The result is that sometimes even good roasters will roast and sell coffee that has been on the shelf for a while. Deep Cello purchases our green coffees in small batches, to keep the stock moving in a way that ensures freshness in the cup. I’ve tried great coffees from solid roasters and found the beans themselves to be something of a shadow of their former selves on occasion.

We also encourage people who buy coffee to find roasters who roast and ship within three days of the roast date, and preferably to order. In my experience, the darker roasts have greater shelf life than the lighter roasts, but in any case, even when value-seal packed, after three weeks, perishable coffee starts to transform and lose volatile organic compounds, flavor and complexity.

I’ve been drinking our Nostromo, our darkest roast. It’s perhaps the best dark coffee I’ve ever had truthfully. It’s got a little carbon, but mostly just amazing coffee goodness. The roast date for that coffee was 1/16 and a full 18 days later, it’s still drinking amazingly well. Again, I speculate that dark coffees have better shelf life based on my own experience. If one is an occasional drinker, then Nostromo would be a good choice.

Coffee buyers have become accustomed to single origin coffees. Indeed, on occasion, these deliver an amazing cup. I had an Esmeralda that shocked me with its flavors. But don’t be fooled by fancy names. We decided early on to take estate coffees and blend them. That way, we can always ensure an interesting cup. You’ll know with a Deep Cello coffee that it will always intrigue you because we blend different coffees, oftentimes single origin, into full palate experiences. Try us and see if you agree!

USING COFFEE GROUNDS TO CAPTURE ANTIOXIDANTS

dcdev — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 21:41:47 +0000

To plant food, insect repellant and other homespun uses for spent coffee grounds, scientists are adding an application that could make the gunk left over from brewing coffee a valuable resource for production of dietary supplements. Their new report in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry concludes that used coffee grounds are a rich source of healthful antioxidant substances.
Maria-Paz de Peña and colleagues explain that people around the world drink millions of cups of coffee every day, generating about 20 million tons of used grounds annually. Although some spent coffee grounds find commercial use as farm fertilizer, most end up in trash destined for landfills. Coffee itself is a rich source of healthful antioxidants. De Peña’s team wondered about the amount of antioxidants that remained in used coffee grounds from different coffee-making methods.
