Arabica vs Robusta: No Contest (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „Some supermarkets carry Arabica, but most of their brands are robusta. Coffee shops generally use Arabica beans, but because their brews are so strong, I don't enjoy them. I had always been satisfied with the various Maxwell House roasts and blends, until I bought my first bag of Arabica beans, ground them, brewed and drank the elixir.“

Grind Your Own Beans (INeedCoffee.com)

  „I thought that in the heart of US Coffee Culture Land the vast majority bought whole beans and ground at home. Surprisingly, the answer from the Peet's guys was that 2/3 to 3/4 of all purchases were for pre-ground coffee. This means that the vast majority of coffee drinkers (except those who buy ground coffee daily) are sacrificing one of the most crucial elements contributing to the taste of a cup of coffee.“

Cupping: The Elements of Quality Coffee (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Different beans have different qualities and differing palates will discriminate! The purpose of this piece is to open the eyes of home coffee drinkers in a few categories: an understanding of what happens in the cup when a bean is processed differently the importance behind the age of a coffee and cupping in the home and in the roastery Claims Anyone reading whom adamantly follows the coffee-based newsgroups, such as alt.coffee and rec.food.drink.coffee may be familiar with the running threads involving the Mexican coffee "Capulin." As touted by it's sales staff of one, the Capulin coffee is a naturally processed (dry-processed as I will discuss below) and manually harvested bean. Because of it's method of processing and the care given to it's harvesting, Capulin claims that it is perhaps the best coffee one will ever taste. It's a claim that is difficult to live up to in this day and age of gourmet-this and specialty-that.“
