Our family has been roasting coffee for customer for about 5 or so years and we really enjoy our craft.


The Art and Science of Coffee

Look at our Gourmet Blends this way Coffee roasting is considered both an art and a science.

Art
Imagine the neck of a guitar or perhaps the ivories on a piano - ok - now realize there are thousands of notes on both, thus the art of the musician is to choose the right notes to make up a cord which is appealing to the ear, hence our job as coffee roasters is to create a melody in a coffee cup through our blends which is appealing to your sense of
smell and taste.

One last comment about our blends - as with every artist, such as a Van Gogh, Picasso and such, you will notice each has developed their own style, this also holds true with Islandjoe's Coffee, as we strive to offer original blends which are based upon old world traditional blending and roasting disciplines.

Science
Science as art encompasses another large arena.So for us to put it simply, one must have
the whereabouts to to explore the chemistry of each type of coffee bean being used in our gourmet blends.

One of our favorite science parts is our Oxidizier, which keeps us as environmental friendly coffee roasters.
