Welcome to Barista's Beans

We at Barista's Beans specialize in roasting-to-order, only the finest shade grown coffees. Sustainable coffee is grown under shade-tree canopies, usually in high elevations. Coffee grown in the shade takes longer to ripen which improves the flavor but lowers the yield. We buy Fair-Trade, Rainforest-Alliance, and Smithsonian Bird Friendly certified coffees whenever possible. These certifications promote clean sustainable farming while preserving biodiversity and providing habitat for migratory birds and other animals. Not only does it improve quality of life for the animals, but the farmers and their families as well.

Bolivian is finito :(

Submitted by Erik on Sat, 01.23.2010 | 18:04

We ran out of our, Fair-Trade / Organic offering of Bolivian coffee, which is a real bummer. It was quite popular. We tried hard to restock one similar, but all the Bolivian samples we've received, haven't even come close to being as good. I think we will end up stocking a fair-trade coffee from Peru w/ a similar flavor profile. I got beautiful notes of bittersweet chocolate & creme brulee in the sample we received. I think it will be a worthy replacement for our Bolivian fanatics until we can sample the next harvest, with hopefully better results.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe (Org)

$15.49

This part of the world is the birthplace of coffee. This offering is a wet processed organic coffee from the Yirgacheffe region in central-southern Ethiopia. This coffee starts out with bright, distinctive, floral and citrus notes. The body carries it into a smooth, slightly buttery mellowness, and a clean crisp winey sort of finish that's unique unto itself. To many, Ethiopian coffees represent the epitome of coffee tasting.

The Coffee Addict's Prayer

Submitted by Erik on Fri, 05.15.2009 | 11:01

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Baristas Beans:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:

New Website!!

Submitted by Erik on Fri, 05.08.2009 | 01:25

Finally got this behemoth online. It feels good... Although there's still a lot of bugs, typos and tiny bits and pieces that need polishing. Please hang in there while i put the finishing touches on BaristasBeans.com 2.0! But for the meantime... you'll be happy to know that we are secure and operational, if you need to order coffee. It's been a long day... so im gonna get horizontal and come back to polishing after a few hours of sleep... followed by a nice freshly roasted cup of Ethiopian harrar.

Roaster is installed!!!

Submitted by Erik on Tue, 11.27.2007 | 01:00

It took us a long while to find a place to put it and to get the grease ducting here and installed. The roaster works like a dream though. The sealed drum is heated by two infrared gas burners. The IR-3 burners use infrared, indirect heat to roast the beans in the drum. Most burners use an open flame known as an atmospheric burner. The infrared gas burners produce only 10% of the NOX gases and 75% of the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases that an atmospheric burner does. This clean "roasting" air from the infrared burners/heat exchangers, is said to produce a better tasting product.
