CoffeeGeek - Coffee Crisis: TechnoServe Releases Fact-Based Industry Analysis (#)
„ "They were saved from total collapse through TechnoServe's pilot programs in upgrading coffee quality, starting in the northeast around the Arusha and Kilimanjaro Regions, resulting in farm gate prices for specialty coffee up to 50% higher than neighboring coffee of lesser quality. TechnoServe has demonstrated that entrepreneurial farmers can earn more money by shifting to specialty coffee production. Their model -- including establishing farmer-owned central pulperies combined with better marketing and timely advice to government on coffee policies -- is creating a new specialty coffee industry, leading to new hope for our rural poor and more foreign exchange for the country."“

„These coffees are called Kilimanjaro or sometimes Moshi or Arusha after the main towns and shipping points. Smaller amounts of arabica are grown much farther south, between Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa, and are usually called Mbeya, after one of the principal towns, or Pare, a market name. In all cases, the highest grade is AA, followed by A and B.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee: Machines and Brewing Methods, Capresso sale--Coffee Beanery?
„FWIW, I was walking by a Coffee Beanery in central NJ today, and they had a bunch of Capresso machines on sale. I don't know if this means that all Coffee Beanery franchises will have these sales or not. The only price I noticed was on the MT500, which they were selling for $120. Nice discount!“
