  „Did you know that the average coffee tree only produces one pound of finished coffee per year? With all the coffee beans that we consume, we should be conscious of the lives of the farmers that produce this pleasure-giving crop. Unfortunately, their lives are not anywhere near the western standard to which we've grown accustomed.“

This Guy Knows His Beans (INeedCoffee.com)

  „The coffee harvested from the Kagumo plantation in 1997 carried an extraordinary amount of "brightness," making it a very hot and expensive commodity. Experts speculated that the desirable "brightness" was a reflection of the phosphoric acid content of the beans. Griffin realized the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the science of the subject, and decided to initiate his own experiments on the Kagumo bean's phosphate levels. He proposed the study to his academic advisor, David Blauch, associate professor of chemistry, and conducted it in Blauch's class, and as part of an honors thesis research class.“

Arabica vs Robusta: No Contest (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Some supermarkets carry Arabica, but most of their brands are robusta. Coffee shops generally use Arabica beans, but because their brews are so strong, I don't enjoy them. I had always been satisfied with the various Maxwell House roasts and blends, until I bought my first bag of Arabica beans, ground them, brewed and drank the elixir.“

Arabica, The Coffee Lover's Choice (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Those within the industry would, if asked, never dispute the fact that beans from the Arabica plant make for a better cup of coffee. Simple industry statistics show that 80% of all commercially produced coffees are created from arabica beans alone. That sounds pretty good, but then did you know that only 10% of those beans are good enough for specialty coffees? That means that 90% of arabica beans are not considered good enough for specialty coffee.“

Coffee Tasseography – Fortune Telling with Coffee (INeedCoffee.com)

  „You can use your lips as a sieve to strain the coffee. One technique that I recommend is to try to stay ahead of the coffee grounds. When you are trying to consume the last of the liquid, turn the coffee cup slowly while you are drinking so that you can strain the liquid from the grounds. Drink as much of the liquid as possible.“
