As teachers, Jeff and Justin drink a lot of coffee. For too long, it was a lot of bad coffee. They tried the big chains, they tried a few local spots in Boston and on Cape Cod, and they even tried a well regarded local shop out in Seattle. Nobody seemed to be able to get it just right. As the saying goes: if you want it done right, you had better do it yourself.
So now we run a small roastery in Chatham, Massachusetts. We use a Probat drum roaster and produce 15 to 20 pound batches of the best coffee we've ever had. Small batches means that it's easier to prevent mistakes, and there isn't a warehouse full of coffee sitting around getting stale. We roast it, bag it, and get it to our customers.
That's it.
Iced Coffee Time Again!
The Art of Roasting enjoys delicious Iced Coffee all summer long. The recipe comes from this article in the New York Times where you create a concentrate using 1 lb fresh ground coffee to 10 cups of fresh cold water. You let it steep for 12 hours, and then strain it. Once you have your concentrate you can add cold water for iced coffee, or milk for a delicious latte. The ratio is 1 part concentrate to 2 parts other liquid. But feel free to experiment. The Guatemala Antigua is our favorite to date.
A smaller quantity can be made in your french press. Just double the usual coffee weight, and fill with cold water. Let it sit for 12 hours, stir, plunge and enjoy in a 1 to 1 ratio with milk or cold water. Store the extra in a glass container in the refrigerator.

Brewing recommendation
For the perfect brew use 3.5 weighted ounces of coffee to 64 fluid ounces of water. The coffee to water ratio is used over scoops due to the weight of coffee varying with the different roast levels.
