„Hawaii could lobby for a field trip to Hawaii if we desire. Shortage of specialty coffee on the market. Guatemala is down 30% and Starbucks has bought a majority of Costa Rica’s specialty coffee.“

Tea & Coffee 09/01 - Smaller Companies Thrive On Bar/Cafe Business: Why? (Cont)
„The brand is a 100% Arabica blend of several origins, highlighted by coffees from Guatemala, Costa Rica, Salvador and Kenya. The second product, Grancaffe Costadoro, follows the strictest formulations for roasting, a genuine Italian espresso of standing. It features a complex blend of numerous origins and a 10% topping of Robusta for adequate body and ‘crema.’ The company’s Costadoro Verde is its wakeup-call coffee; the strong and heady espresso that Italian workers traditionally like to knock back like a shot of whisky. With a 40% Robusta content to give it a bang, it comes in a blend of distinctive coffees from Central America, Brazil, Congo and India.“

Tips on Coffee - The Coffee Book: Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop
„Jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary, The Coffee Book covers coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the 6th century A.D. to the dramatic rise of Starbucks and other specialty retailers in the 1990s. 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.“

„If Nicaraguan coffee comes back to where it was twenty or thirty years ago, the roasts will easily rival the best Costa Rican and Guatemala Antiguan brews. The better Nicaraguan coffees are likely to come from the north and center of the country. Regions to watch are Matagalpa, Jinotega and Nuevo Segovia.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„In some cases the qualities of the green coffee carried through into the dark roast with startling clarity. The Orleans Coffee Exchange Yirgacheffe and the Starbucks Guatemala Antigua, for example, lost almost none of their individuality in the conversion, and even may have added some nuance. In other cases, the Orleans Coffee Exchange's Costa Rica for example, the coffee's qualities (clean, clear profile, powerful but understated acidity) translated into dark roast terms pleasantly, but not identifiably. In other words, I would have had trouble positively identifying the coffee as a Costa Rica in its dark-roast incarnation, but in retrospect I easily saw how the Costa Rica clarity and power worked itself out in parallel dark-roast terms.“
