„1727: The Brazilian coffee industry got started when Lieutenant Colonel Francisco de Melo Palheta was sent by government to arbitrate a border dispute between the French and the Dutch colonies in Guiana. Not only did he settle the dispute, but he also struck up a secret liaison with the wife of French Guiana's Governor. Although France guarded its New World coffee plantations to prevent cultivation from spreading, the lady said good-bye to Palheta with a bouquet in which she had hidden cuttings and fertile seeds of coffee.“

„Coffee is said to have come to Brazil in the hands of Francisco de Mello Palheta who was sent by the emperor to French Guiana for the purpose of obtaining coffee seedlings. But the French were not willing to share and Palheta was unsuccessful. However, he was said to have been so handsomely engaging that the French Governor's wife was captivated.“

How to Stereotype Roasters (INeedCoffee.com)
„Even if you plan to grind at home, use this test to stereotype the quality of the entire coffee operation. Same Style Of Roasting Does every coffee bean at the roaster look like French roast? A skilled roaster will know that every crop has a sweet spot; some beans are best when roasted lighter and some best when roasted dark. A Colombian may excel at a Vienna Roast, but roasting Ethiopian Yirgacheffe that dark is a crime.“

Perfect Your Press (INeedCoffee.com)
„Some coffee drinkers prefer dark roast coffee with a full body and medium to low acidity. For example, you might buy a full city or french roasted bean like Sumatra, Tanzania Peaberry, or Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. A coarse grind works best for the French Press. This will ensure that the mesh screen will filter the coffee grounds and separate the liquid from the sediments.“
