„Choosing Fair Trade Certified coffee, you touch the lives of over four million farming families who depend on coffee for their livelihood. Fair Trade Certified coffee: brimming with benefits Through Fair Trade, more than half a million farmers and their families are earning a better income for their hard work—allowing them to hold on to their land, keep their kids in school, and invest in the quality of their harvest—so they can continue to grow excellent quality coffee for your morning brew. Direct Trade: another perk of Fair Trade Today's historic lows in world coffee prices have created a crisis for millions of farmers around the world. Most small-scale family farmers live in remote locations, and are dependent on local middlemen (known as "coyotes" in Latin America) to purchase their coffee, often at a fraction of its worth.“

The Coffees of Colombia (#)

„A note on Colombian selections: Coffee from Colombia comes in all grades to suit different markets: there are lower grades for commercial and food service applications, generic medium grades, Specialty grades, and at highest end of the spectrum there are specific appellations with designated varietal and farm or micro-region. The later has only become available in the last two years or so (before that many fine coffees were pooled with not-so-fine lots to form large exportable shipments). This means that the marginally Specialty grades, pooled lots designated only by a general region like Huila, Medellin, Antioquia, Popayan, etc. no longer represent the best of Colombian coffee.“

Coffee & Fair Trade (#)

„Coffee is big business — it’s one of the most heavily traded commodities in the world. But for the majority of small coffee farmers, who live in rural communities in some of the poorest countries in the world, the benefits are small. The chain of events that leads from the farm to your cup is long and expensive: Processors, creditors, exporters, brokers, and a cast of middlemen — known to Latin American farmers as “coyotes” — can all come between you and the farmers before you get to sip your morning brew. With world coffee prices constantly changing and “coyotes’ paying the lowest price possible, coffee farmers never know how much they’ll get for their crops.“

Coffee Cupping (#)

„Aspirating strongly will also causes tiny droplet of coffee to be distributed into the throat and into the nasal passage where the nose can act as another powerful tasting tool. Most of the flavor observed in a coffee is a result of aromatic compounds present in the coffee. This effect can be demonstrated by plugging your nose while drinking coffee. While the nasal passage is blocked the coffee will likely taste similar to instant coffee due to its lack of aroma.“

International Coffee Organization (#)

„Following serious economic problem in the earlier years, representatives of the coffee industry sought measures for amelioration. The first Coffee Control Conference in September 1940, arranged by the Government, recommended that the private marketing of coffee in India should be prohibited and replaced by marketing by an authority  -  the Coffee Board. Producers were then obliged to surrender their produce to the Board which in turn sold the coffee through domestic and export auctions. The growers received their remuneration based on the average sales realization.“

Vacuum Coffee Brewers - Cona - Yama - Bodum Santos (#)

„We currently stock the largest Cona Size D, that brews 1 quart maximum/1.13 liters, in polished chromed cast steel, gold or silver chrome. We strongly recommend the D model: 2 pints is not that much coffee by American standards. The B and C sizes would be fine for preparing coffee for 1 person, or two if you prefer very small cups of coffee. Something to consider: because of the design of the vacuum brewers, there is always a small amount of water that does not ascend to the funnel.“

Coffee: Old Familiar Becomes New Favorite (#)

„Despite years of speculation and research, scientists have not been able to link normal levels of caffeine intake to major chronic diseases like heart disease or cancer. The most common and well-defined effect of coffee stems from its role as a central nervous system stimulant. Within 30 to 60 minutes of drinking coffee, caffeine levels peak to produce alertness and heightened concentration. While some people do well with this boost, others become over-stimulated; side effects include insomnia, anxiety, irritability and diarrhea.“

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

„Filter-drip-brewing purists who pour the water over the coffee by hand have the option of keeping their coffee hot by immersing their brewing decanters in a bath of warm water. Simply gently heat some water in any kitchen pan or pot large enough to accommodate both water and brewing decanter, and leave the combination over a very low flame as you enjoy the coffee. Of all of the heat-applying approaches to keeping coffee hot, this one is probably the least destructive to flavor.“

Espresso! My Espresso! An Ongoing Internet Novel - CHAPTER (#)

„The coffee lacked all hint of bitterness from a medium roast (very early second crack) and had a finish that was sweet and rich with a hint of the way chocolate finishes. It is comparable in smoothness and rich taste to the vacuum pot coffee but didn't quite have the same'thick' feeling on the palate- could have just been my palate this evening. I drank mine black with no sugar and it was delicious right to the next-to-last drop. There are some fine grounds that end up in the glass with this method so leave the last sip for the cup to enjoy.“
