Tips on Coffee - The Book of Coffee (#)

„From Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, coffee warms the soul and brings people together.Discovered in a remote corner of Abyssinia, coffee has its roots in a land where genies appear from magic lamps, and where seers use it to foretell the future. No wonder coffee began its history surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend.The Book of Coffee tells of famous coffee-lovers--such as Bach who dedicated a cantata to his favorite beverage, and Pope Clement VIII who refused to ban the allegedly "diabolical" drink--and reveals through an astonishing and beautiful collectio of images the importance of coffee in society from the London coffee-houses of the sevententh century to the Prohibition years in the United States when coffee consumption reached record levels.Filled with advice on how to achieve the perfect cup of coffee, the book also includes a Guide to the best coffee purveyors and coffee shops throughout the world--making The Book of Coffee and indispensable gift for the true coffee-lover.“

„The Antigua coffees are most famous, but some specialty roasters feel that they have become inconsistent owing to the complacency of many of their producers, and prefer the similar but lesser-known coffees of Huehuetenango. Some shops may advertise their Guatemalan coffees by grade; the highest grades are strictly hard bean, indicating coffees grown at altitudes of 4,500 feet or higher, and hard bean, indicating those grown between 4,000 and 4,500 feet. Well-known Guatemalan estates include San Miguel, Capitillo, San Sebastian, and Los Volcanos.“

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

„The reason we enjoy fine-wine coffee at soda-pop prices is simple: Most of those people who grow coffee live in abject poverty, and have no economic recourse except either to grow coffee for a pittance or live in a slum and sell chewing gum to tourists.Nor is this sad situation the product of blatant corporate greed. Growing coffee for a pittance is a 300-year-old tradition rather than something invented recently, like producing athletic shoes in tropical sweat shops for two dollars per pair and selling them for fifty. Starbucks does not own any coffee farms, nor do any other large coffee roasters. They, and their coffee-drinking customers, simply take advantage of long-established market arrangements that are heavily leveraged against the people who grow the coffee.“

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

„Nevertheless, I would argue Starbucks deserves considerable credit for its efforts to preserve and excel in that tiny, tiny part of its business still devoted to specialty whole bean coffee. After all, Starbucks is a corporation that long ago could have turned itself entirely into a chain of coffee flavored malt shops for grown-ups, probably without losing a nickel for its stockholders. But someone at headquarters appears determined to keep plugging along with specialty whole bean coffee in the face of a customer base made up largely (it would seem) of herds of latte lappers and straw-sucking frappuccino lovers.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„ Religious fascination lingers in the air and is the primary topic of conversation at Coffee Messiah, followed closely by politics and art. “Our customers are definitely more intelligent and aware than the clientele at most corporate coffee shops,” says Bialik. “Maybe that sounds snotty, but they are certainly more open-minded.” Given that the venue was already an alt-culture haven and den of voodoo/mojo kitsch before Bialik bought the place, his primary focus is on serving a great cup of coffee. “We want to serve the best-quality, best-tasting latte possible,” he says.“

CoffeeGeek - Members: Coffee Recipes, People Against Starbucks (#)

„ If anything it has made me appreciate a good espresso more than ever. Every time I sit down and have a good cup of coffee with my mother (who is the one who introduced me to espresso, and who still makes the best ;)), or when I take the time to go out of my way to sit down and one of the local independent shops that servers a good product. The Starbucks influence reminds me of how good it really is, and why it is worth my time/effort. In some ways, I think we all have Starbucks to thank, we now appreciate those good pulls, and when we are in a pinch, stranded in an airport anywhere in North America, we can at least get our fix.“

India Coffee- Indian Coffee, monthly magazine-Cover Story (#)

„(ABC) launched the first Café Coffee day outlet in November 1996, it truly was a leap of faith. It was early days for the internet in India and 'coffee shops' were either of the 5 star hotel or darshini variety. But ABC, as one of India's leading exporters of coffee, were clued into the international scene and saw a business opportunity in fusing two distinct trends - the cyber craze and the yen for gourmet coffee - and the concept of an independent, stand-alone coffee joint, rather, cybercafe, was born.“

Tiny Joy, a home coffee roasting newsletter from Sweet Maria's Coffee (#)

„To address this gap between to simplicity of roasting and the enormous complexity of coffee from origin to cup, there are two philosophies you might see expressed at local roasting shops in your area. On one hand there is The Stylist, a roaster who considers green coffee as an ingredient that will be transformed by the alchemy of their roaster. The Stylist will be more interested in blending that straight, single-origin roasts, and will emphasize their technique and their chosen degree of roast as a personal signature of their craft.“

There are specialty coffee shops in most cities owned and staffed by people who make a living brewing and selling fine coffees which they may actually roast on the premises.

Frustration (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„“A” try was enough to realize that this streetside vendor type of arrangement does not hold much hope. But, what can you make of it when coffee shops (even the place where I buy my quality beans) also give you a version of espresso whose crema is about a half millimeter deep? I have tried telling them to go light on the water, but still get long (or even very long) espresso that is incapable of leaving a filmy stain on the cup when I’m done drinking. Many of these coffee shops are manned by 16-year-old kids.“

„I was thinking you were trying to stay under $4000.00 at least initially to see if it'll even work out. Plus those machines look like they take up alot of space and I don't know what kind of space you're thinking of renting (don't buy a retial space, there isn't any tax advantages and they usually don't appreciate like residential) Most coffee shops start out as kiosks some where and then when the person is ready to jump with both feet in they go for it. Let me know if you have any questions to that regard. Joe“

In order to be effective, it is important to have a high quality print, which happens to be easier done on paper. This is due to the different printing processes: on paper it is done prior to the cup forming process whereas in the case of Styrofoam and plastic cups, printing is down after the forming process.“
