„Still, sustainable coffee has a long way to go before it takes off among America's coffee drinkers. Most coffee still comes from big roasters who currently have little commercial reason to take interest in the issue. What's more, shade is just one of the environmental issues involved in coffee growing, making it difficult to define sustainability, as some in the specialty industry are trying to do. Two other critical issues are water pollution, which is a problem on many shade and sun farms, and the use of chemicals, which shade tends to reduce but not necessarily eliminate.“

„The trend toward increasing personalization of the coffee experience is reflected in the increase in ˜dual drinkers™ across America. The National Coffee Association found that 54 percent of American coffee drinkers are consuming both traditional and gourmet coffee, up from 38 percent last year.

Tea & Coffee 03/04 - American Espresso: The State of the Rage
„Illycaffe has become a leader among espresso coffee distributors in North America. They are now crossing over into drip-brewed coffee to restaurants, offering loan programs for drip brewers to secure the side of the coffee business that until now they have forfeited to local institutional roasters. Other espresso distributors, and espresso machine distributors, following the Illy lead, are becoming competitors for drip coffee in restaurant and institutional settings also.“

„Agardh and colleagues in Sweden, discovered that the relative risk among heavier coffee consumers was significant lower than among lighters drinkers. In men, those who drank five or more cups of coffee a day demonstrated a 40% lower incidence than those who drank only two or less cups. In women, the risk was reduced by 74% in those who drank five or more cups versus two or less. Confounding factors such as smoking were taken into account to ensure measurement of the coffee’s impact alone.“

Virtual Coffee - The Hottest Online Coffee Zine!
„Hawaii Kona and Jamaica Blue Mountain may be better known than Kenya among casual coffee drinkers, but among those who genuinely know coffee and buy for quality as well as name, Kenya is much more respected. Hence the relatively high prices commanded by the three Kenyas in the review, higher, in fact, than either of the reviewed fair-trade coffees. False Alternatives?“
