Coffee: Old Familiar Becomes New Favorite (#)

  „Brewed teas have from 20 to 110 milligrams. In coffee, the caffeine content depends both on the type of bean and on the roasting and brewing process. Beans harvested from the "robusta" species are typically found in common name brands like Folgers and Maxwell House. As the name implies, this plant is robust; it will grow in marginal or unpredictable conditions, and this means lower production costs.“

:: Crema Conscious ::

  „So, apart from method, what else does the crema signify? Back to Ewan Reid."The crema allows us to guess at the type of bean used in the espresso blend. A blend using lots of robusta beans will have a dark brown and, although shortlived, an effervescent crema. Arabica beans will have a lighter coloured crema, with a less vigorous foam." It's precisely because of these visual cues that you can see our coffee experts staring intently at the cup of espresso, before raising it to their lips.“
