It's "Roasted"

News shock: HuffPo lib-blogger lives in Oregon, loves coffee almost as much as Obama:

Do you need to add cream and sugar to each cup of coffee you drink? Does the thought of having coffee without masking its flavor make you grimace? If you answered a ‘Yes’ to these questions, then chances are you have never experienced a finely roasted batch of coffee.

Did you know that different coffees taste unique? There is a wide range of acidity, floral and fruity accents, and body that each bean has. Coffee beans are delicate and particular.  Coffee beans are green when they come from the estates and are roasted to specific temperatures under a constant and watchful eye to ensure they aren’t over-roasted, because this affects the desired profile. If you think all coffee tastes burnt and feels like a bite in the back of your throat when you take a sip then you just haven’t tasted a well-roasted product…I’ve had plenty of decent coffee, but I still add cream and sugar because it doesn’t impress by itself and needs more to make it special. 11 Roasters coffee doesn’t need the addition of anything. In fact, I may go as far as saying that it would be wrong to add cream or sweetener.

Can we drink good coffee? Yes We Can! Have we ever heard of 11 Roasters Coffee, out of Bend, Oregon? No We Haven’t! But we’d love to try it!
