„It reminded them of Austrian rule over partitioned Italy; but the Café, one of the oldest in Europe, is still there. It has been there since 1775, as attested by copies of documents, letters, and contracts exhibited on its walls, which mention the presence of a Café on the ground floor of the late-Gothic brick Palazzo Agostini in the very heart of Pisa, next door to the oldest hotel in town, the Victoria, patronised, among others, by Ruskin and Dickens, and even by British royalty. Several police reports in the local Public Records Office reveal that for over two centuries this historic Café has been the favourite resort of radical Mazzinian students and of the more open-minded dons from the nearby University, who used to convene there not only to sip a cup of coffee and play billiards, but also to discuss political issues and comment upon gazette reports on revolutionary movements in the Papal States or in the Kingdom of Naples, then under Bourbon rule, and which had been the subject of Shelley's "Ode to Liberty", or his "Sonnet on the Republic of Benevento". Contraband translations of such works of Byron as The Prophecy of Dante or The Lament of Tasso were also circulated and read in the Café, and they inflamed the minds of students like F.D.“

Tea & Coffee 10/01 - Instant is Coffee, Too! (#)

„In this sense, the marketers have a point - there is a sort of built in Catch 22 to the challenge of marketing instant coffee in the U.S. If you are interested in instant coffee, it is assumed, you can’t possibly be interested in a good cup of coffee; therefore, the brand managers conclude, you won’t get a good cup of coffee, period. The tragedy (and it’s not too strong a word given the woeful state of oversupply throughout the world) encompassed here is that it is possible to produce an instant coffee that is better tasting than a lot of the roasted and ground product and, indeed, even better than some of the whole bean (and allegedly fresh roasted) coffees on the market. With the mindset established that instant coffee users aren’t interested in a better tasting coffee, marketers and retailers refuse to use a premium (or even slightly better) quality product for their brands and their product therefore compares unfavorably to virtually any roast and ground product. Consumption stays low and the self-fulfilling prophecy (the one that says that the instant coffee drinkers aren’t interested in better tasting coffee) is once again fulfilled.“

Espresso Potential (#)

„I define "espresso potential" as a measure of the perfection of an espresso.  Ideally, espresso should be extraordinarily sweet, have a potent aroma, and flavor similar to freshly ground coffee.  The crema would be dark reddish-brown.  It would  be smooth, yet thick.  A perfect espresso would be enjoyable straight with no additives, yet bold enough to not disappear in milk.  A pleasant and aromatic aftertaste would linger on the palate for several minutes after consumption.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„In order to ensure water quality, coffee retailers must overcome a number of challenges inherent to their local water treatment and supply system. To begin with, Songer says retailers should be aware of the impact of seasonal fluctuations on water quality, particularly in areas prone to droughts or where groundwater supplies tend to be polluted by agricultural fertilizers. Such issues impact the treatment methods of water, so businesses reliant on high-quality water must keep abreast of any changes. “Retail operators sometimes feel that the responsibility for providing good water lies with the building landlord, the city municipal supplier or Mother Nature,” says Beeman.“

Usually served in an 8- to 10-ounce cup or mug. If the ground coffee is not doubled, and the operator simply forces twice as much water through one serving's worth of ground coffee, you're getting a bitter, watery perversion, rather than a taller, stronger version of a good drink.“

Within the coffee category, this would include specialty users as well as ground and roast consumers.

Flavored coffee still only holds a 4-6% market share in the total coffee category so when considering the costs associated with the addition of equipment, cross contamination concerns and issues related to preparation/cleanup, the net yield to sales volume would be so small making it tough to justify.“

Espresso Tutorial Chapter 5 - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„This espresso coffee has been packed into the portafilter in such a way as to create pressure that restricts the flow of water through the coffee. The pressure is created because the coffee is finely ground and the water is not free to flow quickly through the coffee. This is where I reintroduce the term BAR pressure. In order for hot water to be pushed through the ground coffee, the pump has to be able to generate serious pressure to overcome the resistance created by the packed coffee.“

„Commercial espresso machines deliver to the portafilter a measured amount of near boiling water at a pressure of 9-10 bars. If coffee in the portafilter is coarsely ground and/or loosely packed, water will gush out in a couple of seconds without extracting enough solubles from the coffee. By grinding the coffee finer and packing it tighter in the portafilter, flow is impeded and water is forced into the coffee particles to extract more of the soluble materials. The resulting strong coffee takes about 15 seconds to produce.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Healthy Kitchen: Recipes for a Better Body, Life, and Spirit (#)

„If the recipes here were written clearly (they're not) and you were a novice cook, you'd find enough basics to get a good grounding in healthful cooking. As it is: kitchen disaster on most pages.

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 12 (#)

„Thus it presents a different resistance to the brewing water than the freshly ground coffee. It drives the staff nuts, as they constantly change the grind to keep a 25 to 30 second elapsed time for brewing. We all end up wasting coffee, pitching out the little bit left over as we grind the next shot.“
