Michael Wright of Oil Slick Coffee Interviewed by Intown Coffee
Marietta, Georgia (PRWEB) December 31, 2013 -- Intown Coffee (http://www.intowncoffee.com) interviewed Michael Wright, owner of Oil Slick Coffee about the company and his thoughts on the coffee roasting process.

During the interview, Michael discussed his first experience when he knew he wanted to roast coffee.
“My first exposure to an actual roasting machine was in a Eurocafe in Sterling, Virginia. They have the roaster right in the shop where you can see and smell it and I thought that really underscored what freshly roasted coffee is — it is roasted right there, not in some far-away roasting plant by faceless, nameless people. This guy used this beautiful red machine to roast delicious coffee, for me. I've wanted to open a coffee shop for a long time, and long before that experience, but it was that experience that cemented the desire to roast the coffee myself.”
When speaking about his favorite flavors he mentions. “I prefer a coffee that is clean, well-balanced, interesting, and demonstrates characteristics unique to the coffee's origin.”
Intown Coffee asked about the best way for individuals to start home roasting. Wright details how he started and gives some great suggestions on websites to checkout.
