Tips on Coffee - Quality of coffee? (#)

„FactOnce you have freshly roasted and ground coffee, filtered water and equipment free of oil residues from the last brew, quality of beans makes a huge difference. NOTEA coffee can in the supermarket often contains a blend of Arabica and robusta beans while most coffee houses sell only arabica beans. Arabica beans are usually flavour rich, while robusta beans have more caffeine, less flavour and are cheaper to produce. When you buy coffee, whether in a coffee house or in a supermarket, you want to get 100% arabica, except for espresso blends, which are a combination of both. For freshness, in a coffee house it is better to buy popular blends that move fast, while in a supermarket vacuum packaged containers with expiry date are your best bet.“

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

„Although the coffee tree originated in Ethiopia and probably was first domesticated there as a medicinal plant valued for the stimulating properties of its leaves and fruit, it was carried across the Red Sea to the southwestern tip of the Arabian peninsula (now Yemen) sometime before 1000 AD, where the mountain Arabs discovered how to grow it on their steep, terraced mountainsides, and, more importantly, how to unlock its aromatic potential by drying, roasting, grinding and brewing the "beans" hidden inside its small, sweet red fruit. It was Yemen coffee that filled the mysterious little cups that fascinated Europeans in the coffee houses of Constantinople and Egypt in the early 17th century, and it was Yemen that supplied the world with coffee for the next hundred years.“

India coffee - Indian Coffee, monthly magazine - Cover story, The US coffee Market, Dr.S.Radhakrishnan April 2003, (#)

„As the majority of US hot drinks consumption is non-premium fresh or instant coffee, supermarkets and hypermarkets benefit from relying primarily on brands such as Folgers and Maxwell House. "Other" channels which include both franchised and independent coffee houses saw their share of retail hot drinks volume increase by 4.2 percentage points between 1997 and 2001, to 29.2%. The practise of coffee houses such as Starbucks or Peet's selling their fresh bean or ground coffee for take-home consumption has come into great prominence in recent years. In buying fresh coffee in such channels, a growing number of US consumers are looking to replicate the coffee house experience at home.“

Tea & Coffee 12/02 - Coffee n’ Doughnuts: A Love Affair (#)

„There’s a chance, though, that coffee houses may be the ones on the ropes in the next round, however. It’s just possible, with the stock market continuing to adjust downward, that the long feared yet much anticipated latte backlash will finally sweep the nation. Just as North Americans are now slowly figuring out that their gas guzzling SUVs (this writer’s included) may not be the most prudent vehicle in which to be driving during an era of questionable oil supply, they may also wonder why they are taking that SUV to a coffee house where a latte and scone will cost them close to six bucks when they could spend a third of that on a plain old cup of brewed coffee and a glazed or jelly doughnut (or two).“

The History Of Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„Coffee was not only drunk in homes but also in the many public coffee houses -- called qahveh khaneh -- which began to appear in cities across the Near East. The popularity of the coffee houses was unequaled and people frequented them for all kinds of social activity. Not only did they drink coffee and engage in conversation, but they also listened to music, watched performers, played chess and kept current on the news of the day. In fact, they quickly became such an important center for the exchange of information that the coffee houses were often referred to as 'Schools of the Wise.'“

„The most popular venues for trade were the numerous coffee houses in the city. Here the merchants would sell their wholesale goods to shopkeepers.It was also in these coffee houses that merchants would complain bitterly about the number of losses they were sustaining as a result of cargoes being lost at sea.Some businessmen, sensing an opportunity, began to make deals whereby they promised to reimburse to the merchants the value of the cargo if it did not arrive at port in a fit state for sale. In return for this insurance they demanded a premium. The value of the premium varied with the value of the cargo and, more importantly, with the risk being undertaken.“

„It may seem a bit ghoulish to carry on about the pleasures of Sumatra coffee when communities not very far from the Sumatra growing regions are suffering through a catastrophe of unimaginably horrific proportions. However, as stark as the contrast may be between a coffee cup and news footage of upended cars, shattered houses and body bags, appreciating Sumatra coffee can only help Sumatrans. The higher the price paid and the more recognition the small-holding farmers of the Sumatran highlands receive for their coffees, the quicker the entire region, including the tsunami-swept northern lowlands, can return to something resembling .“

„Wai Hah Li is only 15, but she’s already dreaming big. Her invention, a play coffee shop for children called the “Dream Café,” has won her attention and awards in England, and now the idea has been picked up by Village Green Products, an England-based company that produces puzzle-like play houses from recycled materials. Li’s “Dream Café” is easy to assemble, portable, life-sized, and safe for kids. The company’s products are sold as interlacing blank pieces to leave the construction and decorating up to the child; the “Dream Café” is in the mind’s eye.“

History of Coffee from Coffee Universe (#)

„To their surprise, the pope, already a coffee drinker, blessed coffee declaring it a truly Christian beverage. Coffee houses spread quickly across Europe becoming centers for intellectual exchange. Many great minds of Europe used this beverage, and forum, as a springboard to heightened thought and creativity. In the 1700's, coffee found its way to the Americas by means of a French infantry captain who nurtured one small plant on its long journey across the Atlantic.“

It is fashionable now to talk about the contribution of the fine cafes to promoting the coffee culture.“

CoffeeGeek - Bunn Thermal Brewer - Nick P's Review (#)

„ And logically, this makes sense. When coffee houses use this technique they are brewing much more than 50 ounces of coffee, so although the water passes over the grounds quickly it does so with sufficient volume to fully extract all the oils from the coffee. In a sense it is like a french press or vac pot; so much water passes over the grounds that they are almost constantly steeped in hot water. This is definitely not the case with the home model and its abbreviated brewing schedule.“

Tea, from green to black, has been getting great notices on its health-giving attributes and people have been reading these headlines and basing buying decisions on them. There are well over 1,000 tea salons in the U.S. today, and according to one person interviewed for this article the number is probably closer to 1,500.“

When enough coffee is gathered to make up a lot or container, it is placed in sacks and sent off to begin the auction process.“
