THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COFFEE WE DRINK ON A DAILY BASIS AND HAND-ROASTED COFFEE IS TO COMPARE THE QUALITY OF FAST-FOOD TO A GOURMET MEAL.

Hand-Roasting is Comprised of Many Components
Precisely measuring barometric pressure and humidity. Adjusting for natural acidity and regional characteristics of the beans. Meticulously monitoring the temperature of the roasting beans and the ambient environment of the roasting drum. Henry's House of Coffee insures the consistency that every bag they deliver is hand-roasted to the highest standards.

The Importance of Hand-Selecting the Coffee Beans
The more perfect the green coffee, the more even the roast, the better the taste. Just like a fine wine begins with the finest grapes, great coffee is a process, and it begins with the raw bean. Henry's House of Coffee inspects every delivery of green beans to make sure they are residue-free, smooth and perfectly shaped. They also inspect every roasted batch for cracked or burned beans. Imperfect beans affect the taste of the final coffee product.

The Importance of Grind and Preparation
Roasting alone does not make the perfect cup of coffee. One of the most overlooked, but critical aspects of a fine brew is the role of the filter and grind. The drip grind coffee that the Kalebjians provide is calibrated to the filter and brewing systems of their customers. In the brewing process, the filter acts as an incubator. If a grind is too large, water filters through too quickly and flavor is lost. If too small, the heat of the water will cook the coffee and make it bitter.
