Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)

„I find these beans to be a bit softer, with pronounced flavor notes of chocolate and spice. For a bean from Central American, this coffee has an exceptionally lush body and a depth that makes each sip sublime. Or maybe I should add a heavyweight from the renowned Antigua region to my already brimming bag. Coffee from this region is well balanced and elegant, with generous layers of dark chocolate, fruit, and spice flavors delivered with a stirring and assertive sense of grace.“

Coffee Isn't Just a Beverage Anymore... (#)

„The folks at Café Tan believe that our favorite bean works from the outside in just as well. That's why they've launched their line of suntanning products, all of which use a generous dose of pure coffee bean oil. In their hands, the essential fatty acids of coffee bean oil, coupled with some FDA-approved sunscreens, result in a lush lotion which will turn your skin a lovely shade of Cappuccino. Isn't that how we all want to look?“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Obviously both assumptions are true. However, we often overlook the influence of how coffee beans are processed, or stripped of their fruit and dried. This procedure has a key impact on how coffees ultimately taste in the cup. I'm particularly convinced that the unique cup characteristics of traditional Sumatra coffees -- their heavy body and deep dimension & owe more to the unorthodox methods Sumatrans use to remove the fruit from the coffee and dry it than they do to characteristics imparted by soil, climate and botany.“

:: Packaging Perils :: (#)

„The solution to this puzzle is a small, insignificant looking piece of plastic: the one-way valve. Our new coffee bean packaging has a discreet valve built in to the foil. Over time, as the carbon dioxide is expelled from the beans, this valve will only let gas out - so no air can get in. Next time you open a case of our coffee beans, take a moment to look for the valve outlet near the tope end of each bag.“

„Starbucks may have a point: although it declined to say how much coffee beans accounted for in total costs, industry insiders reckon soaring rents for prime inner-city sites, plus staff costs, mean coffee chains typically make 25p for every £1.50 cup of coffee. But the profits of multinationals such as Nestlé's remain unaffected.'They've got to take action to protect the supply chain,' said one industry expert.“

„Grown on the Fazenda Vista Alegre Estate, this coffee is dry processed in the traditional ways of the best Brazilian estates. A process similar to that found in Yemen and Ethiopia, the red-ripe cherries are picked and dried with the fruit and pulp still attached to the coffee bean. The Cerrado region is well known for its coffee and it is considered to be the best that Brazil has to offer.†“

„Farmers, many of them indigenous peoples, grow most of the world's coffee beans on plots of less than 10 acres. The prices they often receive are less than the costs of production, which pushes them into an endless cycle of poverty and debt. All over Latin America, farmers are forced to sell the future rights to their harvest to exploitative middlemen in exchange for the credit they need to pay for basic necessities.“

„I have actually been in two privately run cafes when prospective coffee house franchisee's (the same people actually) came in to ask about the differences between cappuccino and latte! Other than the sense that it was a great way to make lots of money these people could not tell the difference between a coffee bean and a lima bean.“

„I bought the espresso roast bold flavor. When I pulled a shot it tasted burnt - like someone had a lighter and lite a coffee bean on fire and let it burn for a while, grounded it up and then put it in a espresso machine. I'm not the best at wording things but that's what it tasted like. Why did it taste this way?“
