[i]Our Space Roasting Capsule 'SRC' is a patented technology, the first of its kind with the capability to roast coffee beans in zero gravity.[/i]
[i]There is one thing that cannot be avoided when it comes to roasting coffee beans — gravity. The beans tumble around, break apart and contact hot surfaces all due to gravity. But if gravity is removed, the beans would seemingly float around in a heated oven, giving them 360 degrees of evenly distributed heat and roasting to near perfection. Such heat could be generated by the atmosphere during the re-entry stage of a space capsule... Our Coffee Roasting Capsule (CRC) is designed to survive the launch, re-entry and landing phases of flight. It uses the physics of phase changing fluids to harness heat during re-entry and safely distribute it to the roasting chambers. This is a completely different approach to roasting because the beans will be experiencing microgravity free-fall. Instead of using a spinning drum the beans will be released into the roasting chamber after its separation from the launcher. The chamber will be filled with a gaseous fluid that has been heated by the atmosphere and controlled at around 200 degrees Celsius. As the beans float in microgravity they begin transformation into the brown coffee humans know and enjoy today.[/i]
