Tips on Coffee - The Coffee Book: Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop (#)

„Written with verve and filled with little-known facts, the book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of caf society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to Renaissance French cafs to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the dramatic story of international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. The book also examines the industry's major players -- General Foods, Nestl, Proctor & Gamble -- revealing how they have systematically reduced the quality of the bean and turned a much-loved product into a lifestyle. Finally, The Coffee Book considers the exploitation of labor and damage to the environment that mass cultivation causes, and explores the growing "conscious coffee" market and "fair trade" movement. Facts about the coffee industry: * Coffee is the second most valuable legal item of international trade in the world (after oil) * More than twenty million people around the world are employed by the coffee industry * Coffee is the largest food import to the United States“

Tea & Coffee 10/00 - Soluble Holds Extreme Niches Within Market (#)

„Remember that Nestle’s was originally all instant before their acquisitions (their now shuttered plant in Freehold, New Jersey, was the largest in the country at the time it was built). General Foods has their own soluble facility and Superior has the old Tenco plant. What’s more, just to keep their plants up and running, each of these roasters will do private label packing, making it that much harder for everyone else. Unlike in other sectors of the industry, the big roasters are always looking for little jobs, and this makes it very difficult for everyone else.”“

„This is all well and good if this "meal" is going to satisfy you for the day. But we know that beverages generally do not satiate the same way that solid foods do. So here lies the conundrum. If you grab one of these drinks on the way to school or work or after work and before dinner, you may be doubling up on your daily requirement for fat, calories and sugar.“

Evaluation of Green Coffee Samples (#)

„In the USA, unfortunately, most green coffee imports in the past have been oriented to volume, and to the standards of large buyers like General Foods or Folger, who are price oriented. Until recently, very few green coffee brokers took the time and effort to go to growing countries to seek out "better than average" quality prepared green coffee beans.“
