Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Will you honestly be able to deal with the monster the first thing in the morning? Or are you the type of person who needs a cup or two of coffee just to get your mental gears in motion?     Here’s what I evaluate upon encountering a new machine for the first time: Exterior finish (I prefer unpainted stainless steel.); placement and size of controls (Bigger and beefier is better than chic.); size and weight of filter holder (Bigger and heavier is better.); size of water reservoir; capacity and ease of removal of drip tray (Can it be removed without sloshing?); and the presence of a heavy duty grounded electrical cord set.     I would not personally own a machine unless it had this list of features: A cast brass boiler instead of aluminum; a brass steam valve that was carefully machined to operate smoothly; a preponderance of brass and copper tubing instead of aluminum or plastic; at least 1,000 watts of heating power; and an exterior finish that reflects the same quality as the rest of the componentry.“

Selecting an Automatic Coffee Maker (#)

„The positive features about this model were the 2-12 cup capacity of the coffeemaker, the "pause and serve" feature, and an accelerated brew cycle due to the use of 1050 watts of power. This particular feature is designed to deliver a fresher, hotter cup of coffee. (I didn't find it any hotter or fresher than the other models tested.) The negative features of this model were the unwieldy, flimsy feel of the carafe handle (not enough grip area), there was no visible water level indicator, the lid didn't seem to seal too tightly, and replacing the carafe to the warming plate was cumbersome and difficult due to the design of the coffeemaker. It comes in white or black plastic with a top fill water container and a top fill, two part filter basket with a removable liner.“

„Eleven studies on effects of caffeine consumption on conception were reviewed recently (1) although not all published studies were included (6). The hypothesis that caffeine delays conception was originally suggested by a study of 104 women which showed that those who consumed an amount of caffeine equivalent to one cup of coffee were less likely to conceive than those who consumed smaller amounts (2). The design of this study has been questioned (1) and some of the design faults have been acknowledged by the authors (3). Criticisms include recruitment of women who did not have an equal probability of conceiving, elimination of 117 women who conceived in the first three months of the study, use of caffeine consumption estimated during the fourth month of trying to conceive as representative of consumption during the entire period and the possibility that caffeine intake might be a marker for anxiety, a known inhibitor of fertility.“

„This can be seen as a brown-coloured foam floating on the surface of the coffee. This is known as crema and is the sign of a delicious cup of coffee.Note that the ideal cup for serving coffee with crema has a rounded base inside the cup. Apparently, the corners on some cups cause the froth to collapse.There are, however, some drawbacks to the pump-operated maker: The water is not quite as hot as other methods, improving the flavour, but can be too cold if milk is added. Although the maker normally has a steam attachment for frothing milk for cappucinos, this can't be done at the same time as making the coffee, because the water is not hot enough, so you must turn on the steam attachment, wait a minute for it to warm up and then froth the milk.“

It has been reported that a 200 ml cup of arabica coffee contains between 70 and 200 mg chlorogenic acid whereas a cup of robusta coffee contains between 70 and 350 mg (3). It has been estimated that coffee drinkers might ingest as much as 1 g per day cinnamate esters (mostly chlorogenic acid) and 500 mg per day cinnamates (mostly caffeic acid).

As for Lynn Savill, she says she'd pay $4.00 for a "fair trade" coffee if a café offered it—and she's better informed than most, since her employer, aid agency TEAR Fund, is looking for coffee roasters to import beans from East Timor to help development partners there.

Use about 6-7 grams (about a quarter of an ounce) per cup of coffee. The moka brewer should be placed on a medium heat source (either gas or electric) so that the water passes slowly through the ground coffee.

Firstly, the amount accruing to the farmer from the retail sales price of a cup of coffee in a coffee shop is probably less than 2%. Secondly, excessively low prices lead to lower quality. An example is the farmer who normally pays harvesters to go through the coffee trees three times during a harvesting season to pick the ripe cherries and now sends them through once only, picking unripe and overripe beans with the ripe ones.“

„While this leads to a much fresher tasting cup than pre-ground coffee, the variation in the size of the particles is fairly large. This is significant because the finer particles are extracting at a faster pace than the larger ones, which can lend unevenness or even a slight bitter note to a cup of coffee. To reduce particle size variation (though it won't eliminate it), a "burr" style grinder is recommended. While they tend to be more expensive, burr grinders are capable of producing fairly consistent grinds ranging from espresso to French press.“

Flash forward to the amazing growth of Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) and its elasticity -- if not audacity -- to charge $2 for a cup of coffee or even more for flavored bean water.“

Braun - Water filtration system (#)

„Did you know that one cup of coffee consists of 98% of water? Then it is no surprise that the coffee aroma is largely dependent on the water quality with which the coffee is brewed. Following, Braun and the renowned Brita Company have together developed a water filter especially designed to be fitted to the AromaPassion and AromaSelect product range.“

CoffeeGeek - Cold Coffee Friendships (#)

„Maybe it takes a whole semester in class, or even years of casual acquaintanceship. But like a cup of coffee left to cool slightly, those people seem to develop a whole new aspect to themselves. Or rather, you just notice new things about them as stereotypes become the real person. The walls come down, or at least get lowered enough for you to sneak a peek at what's beyond them.“

Instant coffees tend to be lower in caffeine, ranging from 40 to 110 mg per 5 ounces. Brewed teas have from 20 to 110 milligrams.“

„An added benefit is that the peak harvest is usually a few months apart from the peak harvest availability of washed Central American coffees. Many roasters will buy Peru coffees to use in blends, since the cup profile is similar to the best Central American coffees.“

CoffeeKid - Press Pots and Drip Brewers (#)

„I have now used this brewer, and while it does produce a good cup of coffee, it still doesn't hit that magical number of 192F or higher in the brewing basket. It's around 185F. The larger 10 or 12 cup model ($60 and $80) features a double heating system - one for the water, one for the hotplate, and does brew at better temps.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea (#)

„Evian® water, for example, has a high content of certain kinds of minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc that may be good for you. The high mineral content that makes this water taste so good will produce a mediocre cup of coffee. Minerals are catalysts that trigger chemical reactions and make water taste sweeter.“

Transcript of Press Briefing on World Development Indicators, April 26, 1999 (#)

„The aid flow, the foreign aid flow, particularly to developing countries, you see is pretty low. The lowest color is that red, which you see a lot, and it's $6.80 per person per year, which is equivalent to a cup of coffee and a sandwich in Washington, per person per year. So as you see, it is pretty low. It is the lowest in 1997.“

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

„Who should drink it: A light-bodied but completely enveloping coffee that makes both an exhilarating multiple-cup breakfast coffee and a light, refreshing after dinner cup. Should stand up to some whitener, but avoid adding sugar, which will imbalance a delicate natural sweetness.“

Ten Steps To Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„The objective of a proper grind is to get the most flavor in a cup of coffee. How coarse or fine the coffee is ground depends on the method by which the coffee is to be brewed. Generally, the finer the grind the more quickly the coffee should be prepared.“

„These are a select few people who go to seemingly great lengths for a spectacular cup of coffee, who understand the potential hidden in the beans found in the cherries of a coffee tree. They can almost be compared to wine lovers and connoisseurs, with their own preferences and language of appreciation.“

„Americans will pay $2 or more for a premium cup of coffee. But de la Rosa, trapped like all small farmers at the losing end of a long chain of transactions between his coffee plants and the coffee cup, sees little of it. He's lucky to live on $2 a day.“
