Amazon.com: Editorial Reviews: The Island of Lost Maps: A True Story of Cartographic Crime (#)
„By the end of the eighteenth century, that empire's most profitable export was a little bean, which the Dutch had begun to grow in Java in 1696. When brewed this bean produced an exhilarating beverage that the Dutch called koffie-a word passed on to the Malay and Indonesian languages as kopi.“

Brewing the Perfect Cup of Java
„Many of us have purchased the supermarket brands of pre-ground or whole bean coffees. The problem with these coffees is you can never be too sure how long the beans sit in those chutes and, as you know, exposure to air is an enemy of freshly roasted coffee beans. I recommend your specialty coffee purveyor, not to discredit your friendly grocer, but because specialty coffee retailers are solely in the business to sell coffee beans and therefore you can be more confident their beans are fresher because they move much more rapidly than supermarket beans.“

Tea & Coffee 02/00 - Coffee Quality
„One can imagine that in Islamic times, the meaning of quality coffee might have meant roasted beans, ground and brewed with spices, and that in colonial times, quality may have meant simply that the beverage was served. Through most of the 1900’s consumers learned to drink ground coffee from a red or blue can. But with the advent of the specialty coffee market in the 1980’s, the definition of quality grew to include new origins and flavor profiles. Now, as we enter the 21st Century, consumers are demanding a more compassionate kind of quality, in conjunction with the great tasting specialty beverage they have come to appreciate.“

„The Dutch planted the first arabica trees in Java early in coffee history, and before the rust disease virtually wiped out the industry, Java led the world in coffee production. Most of this early acreage has been replaced by disease-resistant robusta, but, under the sponsorship of the Indonesian government, arabica has made a modest comeback on several of the old estates originally established by the Dutch.“

„Tea and coffee. We hear the words together so often they seem a natural pair. But as you learn more about tea you see that both the beverage and the crop have their own, unique story, distinct from coffee.“
