CoffeeGeek - Coffee: General Discussion, Freshness of Green Beans (#)
„ The accepted life cycle of a green bean is usually about one year, and when a new crop is available, any coffee left over is then referred to as "past crop". How the green coffee is processed by the grower is also of great effect. Terms like "natural", "washed", and "semi-washed" are all used to describe different methods of cleaning and drying green coffee before it is bagged and sold. The drying method will also have great effect on the "life" of the green coffee.“

„ The Bunn uses a wide spray of coffee and the flat bottom of the filter provides a greater contact of the water with the beans. The coffee is exceptional, far more extracted than any Braun, Krupps etc. I have owned. Also the coffee is made instantly and I love that in the morning.“

„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.“
