Amazon.com: Books: The Joy of Coffee: The Essential Guide to Buying, Brewing and Enjoying (#)
„Starting with a tour of a coffee plantation and ending in the reader's own kitchen, Kummer leads a lively and informative discussion of all phases of coffee production, from harvesting to roasting to brewing. He discusses different roasts and the different types of coffeemakers, and he even talks about caffeine consumption and methods of decaffeination that preserve the bean's flavor. At the end of The Joy of Coffee is a chapter chock full of recipes for tasty treats that either go well with coffee or include it as an ingredient. Like a great cup of Joe, The Joy of Coffee is good to the very end.“

Tea & Coffee 04/03 - Private Label Continues to Evolve
„Mountanos Brothers Coffee & Lindsay’s Tea has a plant in South San Francisco where they do it all - roasting, blending, packaging and flavoring and blending of teas. “Probably where we’ve been able to build a niche is from the owner of our company Mike Mountanos, who has been able to do a custom roast for our customers,” Gigi Glafkides, the tea director at the company said. “He’ll do custom blends and coffee roasts, personalized blends for particular customers. It really is a private label program.“

Tips on Coffee - The Coffee Book: Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop
„Written with verve and filled with little-known facts, the book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of caf society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to Renaissance French cafs to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the dramatic story of international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. The book also examines the industry's major players -- General Foods, Nestl, Proctor & Gamble -- revealing how they have systematically reduced the quality of the bean and turned a much-loved product into a lifestyle. Finally, The Coffee Book considers the exploitation of labor and damage to the environment that mass cultivation causes, and explores the growing "conscious coffee" market and "fair trade" movement. Facts about the coffee industry: * Coffee is the second most valuable legal item of international trade in the world (after oil) * More than twenty million people around the world are employed by the coffee industry * Coffee is the largest food import to the United States“
