I have read several recipes on the internet but they all seem very time consuming as you must separate each bean after coating, then rub them in cocoa. How are they mass produced? Is there a home-use machine to coat lots of little things with chocolate, or could one be made?
I mean something easier than say, these two methods:
scoop up a forkful of dripping-with-chocolate beans and then push them off one at a time with the tines of another fork, aiming for the waxed paper. Repeat the dip-and-drop with the rest of the beans. -ask.com
Remove with slotted spoon, allowing excess chocolate to drip off and place beans on waxed paper.
Once the coffee beans have cooled sufficiently, but while the chocolate is still a little soft, roll the beans in your hands to form round balls - RecipeZaar.com
Guess I was thinking there must be some machine out there that does this without a human being messing with each one by hand. I was thinking of some kind of roller tray that keeps them spinning while coating and drying? - anyone work in a real candy factory? How are M+Ms coated?

does it really matter, or can you eat all kinds whole? thank you.
ok, since we’ve established espresso beans are used, do they come in decaf? if not, how many would be safe to eat, without getting overly charged. lol.

I usually get it ground in the shop but it comes out to fine and gets threw the French press. I was wondering if I could just use my braun food processor and which blade to grind it.

Into fine powder or something more grainy? Does anyone time how long they run the grinder? I remember the character from "Black Hawk Down" saying "it’s all in the grind" and I want the secret to the grind.

I want to buy two different types of beans and grind them together. Would this taste good, or would it just make them terrible? Thanks for any info on this… oh I make drip btw, and drink it black.

I was always under the impression that storing unused beans/grinds in the fridge served no purpose. I more recently bought a nice can of Lavazza and on their packaging it says to refrigerate after opening. Is this something i should consider as my goal is for maximum freshness?

I have read that roasted coffee has lost its antioxidants in the roasting process. How can I roast my beans so I can get the good flavor without losing the antioxidants, like Caffe Sanora and their Healthyroast process?

I can’t find it anywhere. If you know where I can find this picture, let me know. It’s just a picture of coffee beans and somewhere in the coffee beans is supposed to be a man. If you can give me a site that has this optical illusion, please let me know.
I can’t believe I wasted 5 points asking this question. I googled it myself too, before I got any answers here, and found it. I just typed in the wrong thing. Thanks for your answers anyway.

I heard that the chemical process de-caffeinated coffee goes through does more damage that the amount of caffeine does (which I know is minimal). I am interested in learning more about this. Does anyone know?

I’ve read that storing it in the fridge can make coffee lose it’s flavor. However, I’ve also read on the packages of coffee that say it should be stored in the fridge. Which is it? Which is better?

I just bought a few bags of beans from Starbucks. I hear that once opened, they have 3 weeks. What about unopened? Can I just store them? Do I need to place them in an airtight container once I open the bags? Thanks!
