Espresso Blending (#)

„Blending is necessary for espresso since a single origin will lack the complexity desired.  It is important to remember that the advantage of espresso over other brewing methods is a result of the formation of the crema.  Without the crema the espresso would be strong, thick coffee.  The crema is an emulsified layer of tiny, smooth bubbles that trap aromatic compounds.  This layer coats the tongue and these small bubbles break over time allowing espresso to be enjoyed long after it has been consumed.  An aromatic coffee, therefore, is essential to a well prepared espresso blend.“

Tea & Coffee 02/04 - Coffee Profitability: The Genesis of Profit Calculators (#)

„Your assumptions: for room service 25% of guest rooms order average one serving; for fine dining, assume 30% of all hotel guests use this facility; for meeting rooms, assume there are six meeting rooms that are 80% occupied with coffee servings in the a.m. and p.m.; for lunchtime cafeteria, assume there are 200 guests with 50% ordering coffee; and for a convention meeting hall accommodating 500 people and used six times a month with one coffee break at each session. These calculations, tailored and updated to what the real situation actually is, provide your consumption parameters.“

Tea & Coffee 12/04 - Gourmet Robustas: The Awakening of Specialty Coffees (#)

„The concept of “gourmet coffees”, it is commonly admitted, was born around 1985. At that time the American public considered coffee to be a generic, homogenous commodity - a dark brew to be consumed at breakfast, with meals or in offices, out of habit more than to satisfy one’s tastebuds. If one wanted a different taste, cream and sugar were the regular condiments, and no particular pleasure was expected. Just the way you brushed your teeth in the morning, you drank coffee several times a day.“

LIGHT & SWEET: Move Over Botox -- Training Bacteria To Flatten Caffeine - National Coffee Association (#)

„Bacteria, you see, can’t live without theophylline – a compound produced by caffeine breakdown in coffee and tea plants and, incidentally, used to treat asthma. Coffee plants synthesize caffeine very quickly, but break down theophylline very slowly. So, if bacteria are presented with caffeine, which they can’t use, they’ll naturally try to kick the living theophylline out of it.“

The right holding time for coffee (#)

„When a coffee decanter is placed on a warmer, the brew begins to break down with the application of direct heat. After 20-30 minutes your coffee begins to lose its fresh brewed flavor and may no longer be considered acceptable. Beyond 30 minutes, the flavor can deteriorate to the point of being objectionable.“
