Café de Colombia - OUR CAMPAIGN

„In order to guarantee to consumers that these brands consist of 100% Colombian Coffee, the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia had a logo designed that would be present in all the brands that consist of exclusively this origin - See Juan Valdez and Logo -. Print ads were created to create awareness of this logo which was portrayed in humorous and unexpected ways such as on a cow with "cream good enough for Colombian Coffee," on a crossword puzzle, on Egypcian pyramids, and on a tennis racket. In addition, a television campaign was launched where Juan Valdez and his faithful mule appeared in a kitchen cupboard or in a supermarket isle. In these very same commercials consumers were told that finding a 100% Colombian Coffee brand is as simple as looking for Juan Valdez i.e.“http://www.juanvaldez.com/menu/advertising/ - Cached
Tea & Coffee 11/03 - Is Espresso Good for Coffee?
(#)
„This straightforward approach is more of something you see with brewed coffee and not espresso.” Welsh also addressed the math involved in contrasting the espresso market versus that for brewed coffee, “I don't say espresso isn't encouraging consumption, but that with the size of the coffee cups we're all serving these days, maybe a great cup of brewed coffee encourages it more. At a 10 gram per six-ounce strength, a 16-oz cup of coffee uses over 26 grams of the good old stuff. Of course some people will point out that a lot of espresso drinks are double shots, so maybe you have 14 grams per serving, but still, what is the lasting impression, of coffee, or of the concoction? Given the prevalence of flavoring, perhaps I should say confection.”“http://www.teaandcoffee.net/1103/retail.htm - Cached
„These are the most common.Moka: Moka is an ingenious pressure device made up of three parts: on the bottom a chamber for heating the water, in the middle a filter that holds the ground coffee, and an upper container that receives the brewed coffee. The lower boiling chamber is filled with tap water or even non-carbonated spring water up to the level of the pressure valve.The filter is filled with a good amount of finely ground coffee, not so much, however, as to overly compress the ground coffee. Use about 6-7 grams (about a quarter of an ounce) per cup of coffee. The moka brewer should be placed on a medium heat source (either gas or electric) so that the water passes slowly through the ground coffee.“http://hem.bredband.net/akeisr/caffe/ essengmk.html - Cached
Coffee Pod Questions and Answers

„Back to top Is the SENSEO® coffee wet or dry roasted? The majority of the blend consists of a so-called wet roast, 'washed Arabica', where water was used to remove the bean from the coffee cherry. Back to top How are the SENSEO® coffee bags made to ensure freshness? The SENSEO® coffee packaging is made of plastic with a very thin layer of aluminum to provide a good barrier to oxygen. To keep the coffee aroma in the package for a longer period of time, the SENSEO® coffee pods are packed under nitrogen to remove the oxygen (packaged in a protective atmosphere). This process is, by the way, completely harmless for people's health, as nitrogen is the major component of the air we breathe.“http://www.senseo.com/en/senseous/serviceandsupport/faqs/coffeepodqa/ - Cached
„In another sense the Yemen Mocha and Sumatran could be seen as much more distinctive than the Mexican, simply because the Mexican embodies what for North Americans is a version of the normative coffee taste, whereas the other two coffees have characteristics that set them off from that norm. The rich, winey acidity of the Yemen Mocha immediately suggests that it is either a Yemen coffee or a good Ethiopian, for example; the heavy body and rich finish of the Sumatran identifies it as a good Indonesian coffee. It would be difficult to distinguish the Mexican coffee from a Peruvian, for example, or from any one of several other Latin American coffees.“http://www.lucidcafe.com/glossary.html - Cached
„clean, pleasant, mild, good aftertaste. This is a notion of "good coffee" handed down from a time when low-grade coffee was called Brazil Rio and it had a seriously foul, dirty taste (so distinctly awful it is still called Rioy in defective coffee terminology). The best coffees were considered the polar opposite; island coffees -- mild, delicate and clean. Certain Specialty Coffees we now appreciate as intense and desirable cups, Yemeni coffees, Ethiopian Harar, Dry-processed Sumatras for example, would be considered terrible in this definition.“http://www.sweetmarias.com/ coffee.islands.hawaii.html - Cached

„ India Coffees produced in India have more in common with Indonesian coffees than with coffees from Africa or the Arabian peninsula. Good Indian coffees are grown in the states of Karnatka (formerly Mysore), Kerala, and Tamilnadu (formerly Madras).

„However, even after adjustment it is still possible that coffee drinking or caffeine intake are acting as markers for some other aspect of lifestyle which is the true cause of the disease. A good example of this is the finding of the Olivetti Heart Study that after multivariate adjustment coffee consumption was significantly associated with cigarette smoking, a well-established risk factor for heart disease (1). The idea that coffee drinking is a marker for a lifestyle characterised by known risk factors for heart disease including smoking, lack of physical activity and consumption of saturated fat is supported by data from three other cohort studies (2, 3, 4).“http://www.cosic.org/coffee-and-health/ heart-disease - Cached
Coffee: Old Familiar Becomes New Favorite

„Brewing methods that expose coffee grounds to water for longer periods, as in percolated coffee or the "French press" method, result in higher caffeine than standard drip methods. Is this renewed interest in coffee good or bad for our health? The answer probably depends as much on what you consume in the coffee, or with it, as it does on the coffee itself. Despite years of speculation and research, scientists have not been able to link normal levels of caffeine intake to major chronic diseases like heart disease or cancer.“http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/columnnn/ nn980923.html - Cached
„In fact, I think the logistics of shipping these coffees can result in some of the loss of flavor, or in the case of Tanzanian, baggy flavors from being stored in shipping containers in port cities for too long! If it is good coffee, it has to be handled properly and shipped quickly, and when I cup them its very easy to weed out the ones that haven't. Anyway, the when we have a Zambian in stock you can bet it is good!
