## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this coffee oily? Did anyone use it for automatic espresso machine?**
A: 2 tips for running oily beans in super automatic espresso machines:

1. Alternate between oily and non-oily beans. My go-to bean is Starbucks espresso roast, but running just those beans will eventually build up a funk taste in the grinder because of the oil residue going rancid. To minimize that, I like to layer Espresso Roast with Starbucks Veranda blend (light brown, non-oily beans. The taste variations you get with varying blend ratios is quite nice! Sometime I use Starbucks Caffe Verona (another dark, oily bean) instead of or in addition to the Espresso roast.

2. When the funk taste arrives, I clean the super automatic grinder by running out all the beans and then running a product called Urnex Grindz. I see they now offer a version just for super-automatic machines, but I figured out a way to use their regular version in my DeLonghi machine. The product looks like light yellow coffee beans and is super moisture absorbent when ground and will mess up your machine if you run a full shot cycle with it (once water runs through it, it will expand greatly and can brake the machine). Instead, run through just the grind cycle and then IMMEDIATELY UNPLUG the machine when you hear the grinding stops and BEFORE it starts pumping the water through the compressed grounds in the diffuser. Plug the machine back in so it will reset the diffuser position and then turn the machine off.  Remove the diffuser and clean up the diffuser and mess of ground Grindz powder. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times. Make sure it's extra clean before running beans through again. You might want to run several shots of a cheap coffee bean to fully clear it out because you can't get all the traces of it out of the grinder. It's non-toxic but even tiny traces of the Grindz left behind in the grinder will suck the flavor out the first several shots after cleaning. That will fade away as  you continue to use the machine. Your espresso will start to taste wonderful again after this.

Since doing tip #1, I haven't had to do tip #2, but I will because I'm sure I'll notice an improved taste afterwards.

**Q: Are the beans fresh, shiny?**
A: When beans are shiny that usually means that they have been been roasted at high temps to make the bean darker. The moisture and oil comes out of the bean at that point

**Q: Are there articificial flavors in the Hazelnut Creme coffee?**
A: Hi, my name is Sarah from San Francisco Bay Coffee.  While we use only natural flavoring in our organic line, we use both natural and artificial flavoring in our San Francisco Bay, flavored coffees.  If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at service@sfbcoffee.com.

**Q: Is your coffee gmo free?**
A: "Coffee has long been genetically modified since the late 1890's-1900's."

This is absurd. Hybridization and the genetic modification that takes place in a laboratory aren't even remotely close to the same thing. I know it's an old question, but this ridiculousness needs to be squashed whenever it rears it's ugly head.

I don’t think these are arabica beans they taste like robusta cheaper quick coffee type and the roast is not dark enough to give the deep taste required for an espresso
