Tea & Coffee 02/02 - Working to Help Coffee’s Children (Cont) (#)

„One historic moment that highlights such a successful industry collaboration came as the result of the Folgers Boycott in 1991. The boycott, led by the solidarity group, Neighbor to Neighbor, was established with the initial demand that Folgers stop buying El Salvador coffee to encourage quicker resolution to the decade old civil war and related human rights abuses. The demands of the consumer activists were finally met in the form of full page advertisements taken out in all of the major newspapers in El Salvador by the big three national roasters - Folgers, Maxwell House and Nestle - with a strong statement in support of the ongoing peace process in New York. The high profile alliance of the three companies brought their considerable influence to bear on the parties negotiating the peace accords, and in the end contributed to the signing of the accords and peace for El Salvador.“

He then moved to New York and worked with Martinsons, and finally Saks International from which he retired early around 1993, when the company ceased to exist.

How We Select Our Coffees, and Cupping (#)

„then they spit it out and try to sense the aftertaste. When the coffee cools they repeat the second step.Although I have endured the cupping procedure in a professional setting, I think it is mostly for those who are concerned with keeping Folgers tasting like Folgers from year to year as the crops vary, and to weed out nasty coffees. Many books on coffee (and all the ones we recommend) cover the cupping procedure in more detail, but I personally think its just a big ceremony to impress your friends. Cuppers are trying to determine "cup quality," how good a coffee tastes.“

The Coffees of Peru (#)

„Or do we want the cup in front of us to have the best cup quality possible? It is quality, not quantity, that is at the heart of Specialty Coffee, or else we would all opt for a cup of Folgers. So buying Peruvian coffees is a risk, and you have to cup a lot of samples that have serious cup defects before finding the truly special Specialty cups. This year the new crop lots have been mediocre.“

Global Exchange : Folgers Campaign History (#)

„While Procter & Gamble makes over $1 billion on Folgers annually, the average coffee farmer made about $300.

Folgers said No! “

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Learning how to run a high quality machine takes time and practice and you’ll go through several pounds of coffee in the process. They are complicated devices to master, especially if your coffee-brewing experience consists of opening a can of Folgers (gak!) and pouring water into a drip brewer. Making espresso is rocket science compared to using Mr Coffee.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„The pattern goes: Reject the previous generation and do exactly the opposite of your parents. Twentysomething’s parents grew to love specialty coffee only after their parents were brought up on Folgers and Chock Full O’ Nuts. Tea is another way of bucking the norm established by the generations before, and its popularity steers the economy in another direction with twentysomething’s increasing buying power.“

„It seems to me that Starbucks raises coffee appreciation from a Folgers level to a moderate level.  Beyond that its up to the specialty coffee sellers.  For those of you living in a city where great coffee is new, where Starbucks has started peppering the town with shops, I say take advantage of the opportunity.“

„Find out if you are drinking specialty coffee from the Arabica species of coffee plant. Most bulk coffee (think Folgers) is Robusta, and not considered specialty. The climate, farming, and processing of the country of origin can all affect the final result. Each country also has its own labeling and quality control.“

„Shaded, unshaded -- it all goes in the same bag. "Folgers buys coffee from Guatemala," Ted Lingle says. "They don't need to separate their coffee, because they blend it. They are promoting their brand, and their brand is a blend, and the Guatemala component gets lost in their other coffees.“
