Café de Colombia - OUR CAMPAIGN (#)

„Many roasters have launched high end brand extensions which consist of exclusively 100% Colombian Coffee. In order to guarantee to consumers that these brands consist of 100% Colombian Coffee, the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia had a logo designed that would be present in all the brands that consist of exclusively this origin - See Juan Valdez and Logo -. Print ads were created to create awareness of this logo which was portrayed in humorous and unexpected ways such as on a cow with "cream good enough for Colombian Coffee," on a crossword puzzle, on Egypcian pyramids, and on a tennis racket. In addition, a television campaign was launched where Juan Valdez and his faithful mule appeared in a kitchen cupboard or in a supermarket isle.“

The Coffees of Costa Rica (#)

„While particular Costa Rican farms (fincas) receive an undue amount of attention, coffee drinkers are wise to remember there are 130,000 large and small farms The chance that any one will be the best from year to year is remote. The problem in Costa Rica is they have promoted a system where coffee is sold as "brands" developed by the mill (beneficio) rather than by distinct lots of coffee from particular farms. We evaluate every coffee by the cup quality, not the route to market .but I personally would like to see this beneficio "brand" notion abandoned.“

Utz Kapeh Information (#)

„This is a 'decency' standard for coffee production that ensures good, efficient, responsible farm management and full traceability. Purchasing from these certified producers allows coffee brands to take direct responsibility for the source of its coffee. This will lead to better terms of trade for coffee producers, makes the coffee traceable for coffee brands, and creates long term relationships in the coffee chain. Utz Kapeh means "good coffee" in a Guatemalan Maya language.“

Global Exchange : 442.html (#)

„"Farmers sell at a heavy loss while branded coffee sells at a hefty profit. The coffee crisis has become a development disaster." It says the big four coffee roasters, Nestlé, Kraft, Procter & Gamble, and Sara Lee—which with German giant Tchibo buy almost half the world's coffee beans each year—are making big profits on coffee brands, each worth US$1 billion or more in annual sales. It estimates Nestlé's instant-coffee profit margin at 26 percent and Sara Lee's at 17 percent—high in the food and drink field.“

„Students in California have helped to pressure the Sara Lee Corporation, the maker of the Hills Bros. and Chock Full O' Nuts brands, to start buying small amounts of Fair Trade coffee. On Tuesday, voters in Berkeley, Calif., a longtime redoubt of student activism, will vote on a measure that would require the city's restaurants and supermarket cafes to restrict sales of brewed coffee to blends that are Fair Trade, organic or shade grown, which are considered more environmentally friendly than conventional, mass-produced varieties. Violators could face $100 fines and six-month jail terms.“

The SCAE Awards for Coffee Excellence (#)

„It created a unique marketplace for small and medium size coffee farms. The high auction prizes with full transparency maybe seem to be seductive, but the longer term perspective of creating brands out of  farm names with excellent coffee quality - and the potential of stepping out of anonymity are far more important. It is a "win-win", since the producers interest of creating the best possible quality and to get rewarded for it are of mutual benefit for the group of speciality roasters, that pursues the hunt for the best beans.  “

Blending Basics (#)

„Coffees are also blended to attain consistency from crop year to year. This is done with major brands that do not want to be dependent on any specific origin flavor so they can source coffee from the least expensive sources. Such blends generally reduce all the coffees included to the lowest common denominator. But let's put aside the less-than-noble reasons that coffee is blended and focus on details that concern the quality-oriented roaster.“

Cowboy Coffee: Arbuckles (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„That was because, though preparing coffee on the range was a tedious and time consuming task, cooks had no choice to buy green coffee and roast it fresh in a skillet themselves before brewing.

Caffeine and The Bean (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
