to Sapplr the World, bat Omlj
Ut tm Keeded for tk
LoeaI Trade.
Omaha, aa a coffes roastlnf and dis
tributing point. Is going forward In leaps
and bounds. Not o many years ago the
amount of coffee handled by Omaha houses
attracted but little attention, but at present
It Is brought In here. In the green state,
by tl tralnload, to say nothing of the
roasted coffee a-hica la itself is quite sn
Important Item. A very good idea of the
popularity of coffee with the American
people can be gained by a visit to the
various JokMng houses, where large store
rocyns stacked full of cvffee may be seen.
When the small amount that Is required
to make a cup of coffee U lukon Into con
sideration and then a glance taken at the
huge piles cf coffee that the jobbers have
to carry In slock, one geu the Impression
that there Is enough coffee in Omaha to
supply the world for the next year, and
yet It suffices to furnish only a portion
of the people living In the territory trlbu
tary to Omaha (or but a short time.
People who are not familiar wKb tl.o
coffee roasting business do not realise the
complicated machinery used to prepare the
berries. In the olden days each house
wife roasted her own coffee by putting It
In pan and setting It in the oven. Few
of them, were skilled enough to roast It
Just right to bring out the delicate flavor
of the !-rry. As the business is conducted
today that responsibility rests upon the
shoulders of the roaster, who ts skilled la
that particular tine, and he Is aided by
luodrrn Inveallone.
C'leeeleaj eed React lag TesTee.
Too process of roasting; bogies by placing
the coffee In what Is called a mixer and
cleaner. In that machine the coffee Is
thoroughly mixed and any loose dirt ts
removed. From that it goes Into the mill
ing machine, where the berries are cleaned
by friction, the loose scales and dirt being
rubbed off and drawn out by means of
suction fans. It Is further cleaned In this
same machine by a series of brushes which
finishes the work begun by the friction
process. The coffee then goes through a
series of elevators to the roasters. These
are heated by gas and the coffee passes
Into a revolving syllnder. Each roaster
holds about 320 pounds, and It requires fif
teen minutes to do the roasting. The
operator watches the berries closely and as
they begin to turn brown he gradually re
duces the heat and finally turns It off en
tirely, leaving the heat In the machine to
fii.ish the roasting. When the color Is Just
right he touches a lever and the contents
are dumped out into a large vat with a
perforated bottom. This vat is so arranged
that cold air is drawn down through the
perforated bottom and the coffee is cooled,
and any dust that may be In It la sucked
off with It. From the cooler the coffee
gues through '.he elevators to the stoning
machine. All green coffee contains more
or less stones and gravel and should the
housewife find any of that material In the
Bulshed product it would not give satis
faction. This stoning machine differs from the
other purifying appliances in that the coffee
is raised through pipes by means of suc
tion fans, and the stone and gravel being
heavier falls to the bottom. The next pro
cess Is that of polishing, where the berries
are given that Shiny appearance well
known to users of high grsde coffee. From
the pullshlng tuachine the coffee Is carried
through elevators to various bins, each
blnnd. variety or grade having a separate
blu. It is then ready for the packers, who
put It up In the various kinds and sizes of
packages known to the trade.
ever Te ached by Head.
Throughout all this process the coffee la
never handled by band. In carrying It
from one machine to another, elevators
are used, and as several different grades
of coffee are In process of rosstlng at the
san.e time It requires care on the part bf
the operators not to get them mixed, but
the machines as well as the ' 'evators are so
arranged that the contenti entirely re
moved without loss of time uefore the next
grade la passed along.
