Read comments to see updates on the story of the RKDrum roaster setup at Finca Magdalena, Coop Carlos Diaz Cajina #1, Balgüe, Isla de Ometepe.

• Kobricks Coffee has a description of the roast process
• Cómo Conocer mas el Café is a magazine article about coffee quality, Norberto E. Petryk, chef, escritor e investigador
  
• Comercio Justo coffee global issues
