New England's Air-Roasting Pioneers Demonstrate Multiple Brewing Methods for Premium Espresso Experience
GREENFIELD, MA – June 19, 2025 – Fogbuster Coffee Works, the New England pioneers in air-roasted coffee with 30 years of experience, today announced the release of comprehensive brewing guidance for their signature Espresso 9 Bar blend, showcasing how premium espresso can be achieved through multiple brewing methods including traditional espresso machines, Moka pots, and AeroPress systems.
Revolutionary Air-Roasting Technology Transforms Espresso Production
Fogbuster Coffee Works has distinguished itself as part of the exclusive one percent of coffee roasters utilizing advanced air-roasting technology. This proprietary process removes burnt by-products found in conventional roasting by separating chaff from premium green beans as they tumble in a fluid bed of hot air. The result is an evenly roasted, clean-finished bean that forms the foundation of their award-winning Espresso 9 Bar blend.
Espresso 9 Bar: The Ultimate Brewing Foundation
The company's Espresso 9 Bar represents the pinnacle of espresso craftsmanship, featuring shade-grown, hand-picked beans from Colombia, Honduras, Peru, and Sumatra. This Italian-style espresso blend delivers snappy complexity with smokiness and soft acidity, extracting a heavy full-bodied taste with subtle bite and dark caramel cream notes. The blend's unique flavor profile makes it exceptionally versatile across multiple brewing methods.
Comprehensive Brewing Method Analysis
Traditional Espresso Machine Brewing Espresso 9 Bar by Fogbuster Coffee Works achieves optimal extraction through traditional espresso machines operating at 9 bars of pressure. The blend's carefully calibrated roast profile ensures consistent crema formation and balanced flavor extraction. The premium beans' natural oils and compounds are preserved through air-roasting, resulting in superior espresso shots with enhanced aroma and flavor complexity.
Moka Pot Excellence Moka pot brewing transforms Espresso 9 Bar into a concentrated, espresso-like beverage through steam pressure extraction. The air-roasted beans' clean finish eliminates the burnt, bitter flavors commonly associated with Moka pot brewing. The process involves filling the bottom chamber with water, placing finely ground Espresso 9 Bar in the filter basket, and applying medium heat. As water boils, steam pressure drives extraction upward, creating a robust, full-bodied coffee with espresso-like intensity.
AeroPress Innovation The AeroPress brewing method showcases Espresso 9 Bar's versatility through immersion and pressure extraction. Fine-ground Espresso 9 Bar coffee is combined with hot water in the AeroPress chamber, allowing for controlled extraction time. The plunger mechanism creates pressure that forces water through the coffee and paper filter, producing a clean, concentrated brew with reduced acidity and enhanced flavor clarity. This method particularly highlights the blend's caramel notes and subtle smokiness.
Scientific Brewing Principles
Fogbuster Coffee Works applies scientific principles to optimize each brewing method:
- Grind Size Optimization: Espresso machines require fine grinds (20-24 on Baratza scale), Moka pots utilize medium-fine grinds (15-20), while AeroPress accommodates fine to medium grinds (10-15)
- Water Temperature Control: Optimal extraction occurs between 195-205°F across all methods
- Extraction Time Management: 25-30 seconds for espresso machines, 4-5 minutes for Moka pots, 1-2 minutes for AeroPress
- Coffee-to-Water Ratios: 1:2 for espresso, 1:7 for Moka pot, 1:8 for AeroPress
Sustainable Excellence and Ethical Sourcing
All Espresso 9 Bar coffee carries USDA Organic and Fair Trade USA certifications, ensuring environmental sustainability and fair compensation for farming communities. The company sources premium beans from shade-grown, hand-picked harvests that preserve biodiversity while supporting ethical agricultural practices. This commitment to sustainability extends throughout the entire production process, from green bean selection to final packaging.
