Coffee in the News (#)

„COFFEE IN THE NEWS Providing coffee reports from around the world. We highlight and summarise the best articles from the mainstream press.Summaries from August - September 2001 The 'invasion' of American-style coffee bars caused quite a stir in the English broadsheets. Guardian, 4 August 2001 In August the Guardian ran a feature by Joanna Blythman on the scathing reaction by some to the proliferation of Starbucks, referring to a website "where you can have a global gripe about the coffee chain you love to hate and give it a good kicking in the company of disgruntled independent café patrons. The article questions why Starbucks perseveres in what seems to be an oversubscribed market when it could open shops in Asia for a fraction of the cost.“

The Javagirl Goes A-Cupping (#)

„Jay proceeds to recommend a press pot as the ideal brewing tool as this type of coffee pot produces a direct infusion. With a press pot, the coffee mixes directly with the water since there is no filter involved. You may get a slightly muddy cup, but at least you've extracted the fullest possible flavor. Second choice for coffee brewing would be a gold filter, since this filter doesn't remove any flavor from the coffee, as would be the case with a paper filter.“

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 13 (#)

„Working with equipment such as you see here (Fig. 1) I have concluded that our espresso coffee, coffee roasted to a deep mahogany brown with no oils visible on the surface, tastes best at 203.5 degrees F This temperature when held stable to a tenth of a degree either way, produces espresso coffee that is agressively sweet. In addition this temperature yields the greatest volume of red-brown crema in the cup, given a constant quantity of ground coffee. Taller thicker espressos that taste sweet in the cup.“

Coffee Brewers: French Press/Cafetiere from Bodum, Melior, Chambord, and French Press Parts! (#)

„The Columbia is a new product from Bodum, a French Press brewer made of unbreakable stainless steel inside and out. The double-walled polished chrome "thermo press" keeps the water hot during brewing, although we really don't recomment that you store your coffee in it after you have pressed the pot. Why? Because to some degree the coffee continues to brew, and after about 15 minutes it will start to have a "over-extracted" flavor.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Bodum Chambord 8-Cup Coffee Press with Bonus Coffee Catcher (#)

„When you pull the filter out, it pulls the coffee grounds out with it. Bodum's Chambord coffee press brews rich and aromatic coffee and does not use paper filters, which trap oils in the coffee, thus removing the flavor nuances. Because of its 8-cup capacity and elegant design, this French press is great for dinner parties, letting you brew your guests' coffee right at the table. --Rhonda Langdon“

CoffeeGeek - Bodum Santos Electronic - David Greene's Review (#)

„This coffee machine is by far the best I have ever used. I've been through percolators (ugh-nastiest stuff in the world) drip machines, and coffee presses. Although I hold the coffee press in the highest regard (not only is it easy to brew and clean, but it makes the best cup of coffee I have ever tasted in my entire life). The vacuum brewer is such a beautiful contraption.“

Espresso is so technologically and artistically challenging to me, I do tend to talk about it more, but at the end of the day, when I want all my worries to go away, many times I go to my favourite press pot or drip brewer for a nice, easy cuppa to relax with.“

„As one of the inventors of the coffee cozy, I can say that once you've pressed the plunger down, there is very minimal brewing going on. Before we launched our product in the Fall, we had been using our prototype for well over a year, every morning, and not once did the coffee get bitter or over brewed. The important thing is that you do plunge the coffee within 5 minutes of adding the water. “
