Amazon.com: Books: The Complete Coffee Book: A Gourmet Guide to Buying, Brewing and Cooking (#)

„Her history of the legendary brew is standard-issue, bearing no evidence of spirited research. The buying guide identifies coffees from around the world, but descriptions are hard to understand and distinguish: beans from Guatemala, for example, "have a smoky, acidic flavor that many people feel makes the perfect cup of coffee," while those from Peru produce "a subtly flavored, lightly acidic coffee." Directions for brewing are adequate but lack the perfectionism of, say, Corby Kummer's articles on the ultimate cup recently printed in the Atlantic. Recipes range from the outlandish (e.g., steak pinwheels marinated in beef broth, coffee, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and spices), to the probable (a chili prepared with coffee), to the expected (a cake flavored with coffee, chocolate and hazelnuts). Color photographs are generously supplied.“

Tea & Coffee 01/01 - 10th Annual Coffee and Tea Flavor Review (cont.) (#)

„Paula Boudjouk credits several influences including consumer education about flavors, the concept of flavors enhancing a beverage and not overpowering it, experimentation with flavors to create unique and unusual products, improvements in the manufacturing of flavors, and the versatility of the flavorings used. "Flavorings have had an impact on all types of hot and cold beverages, whether using flavored beans or flavored syrups, and have kept a market going that would not otherwise be stable." As evidence, she points to the growth of tearooms, the use of herbal teas with added flavors, the increased consumption of cappuccino and iced blended coffee drinks among consumers 18Đ24, and the fact that women are still more likely to consume a gourmet coffee beverage than men.“

A Taste for Flavored Coffees (#)

„Although I agree with the bulk of flavored coffee drinkers (my favorites come from the vanilla group) I did a taste test on a variety of flavored coffee beans. In each instance, I bought the most readily available brand from my local grocery store. Some roasters have incorporated two or more flavor categories into one bean.“

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

„Flavored coffees are good but inexpensive coffees, roasted to a medium to medium-dark brown, and mixed with liquid flavoring agents that soak into the beans. The flavorings are a modified version of those used throughout the food industry. You occasionally may see actual bits of nuts, fruit, or spice mixed in with the beans, but these components merely dress up the mix and give it a natural look.“

„A final note of warning to those who grind their own beans: Flavored coffees are liable to ruin grinders that use burrs rather than blades to take apart the coffee. The flavoring material clings to the burrs and complicates cleaning and is almost impossible to remove completely. In other words, once you grind French vanilla, you will continue to grind French vanilla for awhile, whether you like it or not.“

„Finally, burr grinders cannot be used successfully with flavored coffees. The flavoring liquids absorbed in the beans both gum up the burrs and taint subsequent batches of non-flavored coffees.“
