| What sets Moon Doggie Coffee
Roasters apart from the rest? |
QUALITY (or WHAT’S IN YOUR COFFEE?)
The only coffee we sell is Arabica Specialty grade – the BEST!
We buy from farms and estates that hand-pick and sort their beans. The big commercial brand roasters regularly use low grade beans that are machine-shook off the coffee trees. Here’s something they don’t want you to know... the current United States FDA (Food and Drug Administration) rule allows pre-packaged, pre-ground coffee to have up to 30% defects - twigs, dirt clumps, stones, or other extraneous matter (we know, but do you really want to?) |

LEADED OR UNLEADED (DECAF)
There are two ways to extract caffeine from coffee: the Water Process method (Royal Select and Swiss) and the Chemical Solvent method.
The Chemical Solvent method is the cheapest and most commonly used method for removing the caffeine from coffee. Chemicals, such as methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, and highly pressurized carbon dioxide remove 96 - 98% of caffeine.
The Swiss Water Process uses a natural green coffee extract rather than chemicals to remove the caffeine. Done properly, this organic method successfully eliminates 94 - 96% of the caffeine while it retains more of the flavor compounds present in the essential oils.
In the Royal Select Water Process, the green beans are immersed in filtered water in order to extract the caffeine. The water contains the soluble compounds found in the coffee beans, which helps to lock in the original flavor and promotes the high quality of the finished product.
The caffeine is separated from the water through charcoal filters, which allow the flavor components to remain in the immersing tank. The result is a 99.9 % caffeine free & chemical free quality product.
Moon Doggie Coffee Roasters only roasts and sells coffee that has been decaffeinated using the Royal Select or Swiss Water Process method.

ROASTING
Unlike fine wine, roasted
coffee DOES NOT IMPROVE WITH AGE!!!
You know that stuff your grocery store sells in cans (or even
those ‘new’ sealed bags)? Look carefully...is
there a date that tells you when the coffee inside was roasted?
NO?
This coffee was probably roasted many months (or even years)
ago! And don’t let those beans in the pretty clear bins
fool you. Do you really think the stores throw out all of
the old product before they add more ‘new’? One
more little detail...roasted coffee beans CAN GET RANCID!
Next, go into one of those famous coffee chains. Pick up a
bag. No date? Now, ask one of their employees when their coffee
was roasted. If they give you a date, ASK THEM TO PROVE IT!!!
Moon Doggie believes that if you are going to pay for a premium
product, you have the right to know everything possible about
it. Our coffee is roasted in small batches. We always know
the date!
PACKAGING & STORING
Roasted coffee has an enemy – its name is OXYGEN. Oxygen
immediately begins to destroy the flavor of your coffee.
Coffee needs to be stored in an airtight container at room
temperature. Do NOT refrigerate or freeze your beans. This
causes condensation and your coffee will pick up many strange
odors.
Moon Doggie does not pre-pack our coffee. It is packed immediately
before we ship it to you.
GRINDING
Grinding your beans immediately before brewing will give you
the fullest flavor. Moon Doggie strongly recommends using
a burr grinder. This type of grinder crushes the bean which
allows superior flavor extraction.
BREWING
Brewed coffee is 98-99% water. So it only makes sense that
BAD WATER = BAD COFFEE! Spring water or good filtered water
is ideal.
Use between 3.25oz – 4.25oz of coffee per 64 fluid ounces
of water.
Brew between 190’F - 205’F for a full, flavorful
extraction.
*** All water (including ice) used for consumption at Moon
Doggie Coffee Roasters cafe is filtered using the Everpure
filtration system. NSF International, which sets the food-service
industry standards for water filtration systems, has tested
and certified Everpure precoat filters with its highest ratings
for meeting strict guidelines for health and aesthetic qualities.
