„The latest phenomenon will affect our coffee fun in a strange way. People here [in Yugoslavia] mostly drink Brazilian [Sabor de] Minas, which is, for example, of lower quality than Santos, but is irreplaceable for making the Turkish-style coffee that we are used to. But in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, farmers are turning to hog raising, with their state's support, because their coffee has not sold well for decades.“

„It is like calling French wine Marseilles or Le Havre after the port that it is shipped from. Santos is a common term for bulk commodity grade natural that Brazil produces in huge volume for the multinational roasting giants - you know, the guys in the Oxfam report for whom coffee is one of thousands of brands in the portfolio. Santos is bulked together from farms all over Brazil, and cannot be traced back to individual growers any more than vin de table can be traced to any particular vineyard. Santos (or Swedish or 3/4 mtgb) is the definition of industrial coffee.“
