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

„Other countries hold similar competitions without the help of the Cup of Excellence, some involving Internet auctions and some not. To my knowledge the competition with the longest history is the very modest, three-judge event held every year in Kona, Hawaii, in conjunction with the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival. Growers in Panama held their first competitions before the Cup of Excellence was organized, and now have added an Internet auction to their event (www.panamacoffee.org) .Costa Rica also holds its own "Crop of Gold" competition and auction www.scacr.com. India has held a competition for several years (www.indiacoffee.org) that includes its exotic wet-processed robustas and monsooned coffees as well as its fancy arabicas, although it does not offer the winners at auction. The competition/auction concept has now spread to Africa, with events planned for several countries in East and Central Africa.“

Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)

„For example, perhaps I have visited the farm where a coffee is grown and admire how it is produced, as I do coffee from the Costa Rican Doka Estate. Or maybe I like the coffee and the economic and environmental sustainability that is part and parcel of every cup. Sumatra Gayoland and Nicaraguan Segovia fair trade and organic coffee are examples of this type of “favorite.” I also love coffees that have specific and unique flavor tones, such as Ethiopian Harrar and Sulawesi Toraja. While I may not want to drink these coffees everyday, they exemplify the diversity of flavors within the specialty coffee universe, which makes them favorites also.“

Mostly Italian Coffee (#)

„200 degrees Fahrenheit); for home espresso makers, non-carbonated mineral water with a low salt and mineral content may be used. The water is made to pass at very high pressure (9-10 atmospheres) through a filter containing the ground coffee.The filter should contain 6-7 gram / cup of finely ground coffee, firmly pressed into the filter. The amount of coffee per cup averages between 20 and 35 milliliters (from one to one and a half fluid ounces or about one eighth of a cup). It is important to make sure that the espresso brewer reaches the indicated temperature and pressure levels, and that the parts through which the brewed coffee flows to the cup are good and hot as well.“

The Coffees of Brazil (#)

„In brazil these are called CD coffees which means Cereja Descascada, or basically "Washed Cherry". I spoke with Joao who works at the farm and he tells me that the experiments with other process methods on the Brauna farm were just not a good match for this coffee in terms of cup results (and with their 10th place prize I am sure he is right). I use the Brauna as a small percentage of espresso blends .I don't want to use too much because this coffee is a bit brighter than other Brazils, and too much acidity in espresso can make a sourish tazze.“

„Public-healthofficials in Grande Prairie in Alberta, Canada tested reusable mugs from four governmentoffices, including the Health Department itself, and found high concentrations ofbacteria. "There is a one in three chance (33 percent) that people in our study willdrink from a reusable coffee cup with a bacteria count greater than 100 colonies [theNational Research Council's minimum sanitation standard]," noted one official."The conversion from disposable cups to reusable cups in office environments wouldmarkedly decrease the sanitation level of utensils....This would increase the potentialfor the spread of disease between people."“

Fairtrade | News | Press Release (#)

„Successive years of low prices on the world coffee market mean that growers and their families in countries like Nicaragua and Tanzania are not able to cover their costs of production and afford the basic necessities of life. It is clearly imperative that the major coffee companies engage with Fairtrade to address the increasing poverty and hardship that is the direct result of low world coffee prices, as proposed by organisations like Oxfam (Mugged: Poverty in Your Coffee Cup, 2002).“

„That same week, the company announced a one-time shipment of 75,000 pounds of Fair Trade coffee. We responded that for a firm as big as Starbucks, this represented a "Drop in the Cup"--an average of only about 30 pounds per store--and the coffee was not certified! We then circulated an Open Letter, signed by 84 student, environmental, church, and social justice organizations, again asking Starbucks to pay farmers a living wage and offer their customers Fair Trade Certified coffee. We helped plan 30 demonstrations that were scheduled for April 13 across the country at Starbucks shops.“

It is the Guatemala Barillas - Nuevo Bullaj Coop from the far north of the Huehuetenango state.“

„It was an espresso cup, but I didn't know it at the time. As far as I was concerned it was my very own coffee cup, in miniature, produced magically by my grandfather. He poured me a cup of coffee, then returned to his chair, lifted me into his lap, and we drank our coffee together. He engaged me in conversation slowly, until we were talking a mile-a-minute and singing hymns from his Anglican hymn-book 'Hymns Ancient and Modern'.'“

I placed an order for the No Water, No Coffee cup set which I think is one of the best looking regular 6 cup sets to come along in some time. I also ordered some of the very nifty Matteo Thun designed cups, Koziol Aroma handleless cups .“

„Oxfam's broadside against the perks of big business in a report titled "Mugged: Poverty in Your Coffee Cup" is the latest push in its long campaign to get the world's four huge buyers of coffee beans—all multinationals, the biggest of which is Swiss food giant Nestlé—to pay more. Otherwise the prospect looms of 25 million growers starving and many leaving their land, and so making a shaky industry shakier.“

Coffee Fundamentals | Page 2 (#)

„If the water isn't pleasant to drink, don't make coffee with it. Hard, or alkaline, water does not directly harm flavor and aroma, but does mute some of the natural acids in coffee and produces a blander cup without the acidy snap. Water that has been treated with softeners makes even worse coffee. Use bottled water or a filter system.“
