Tea & Coffee 04/03 - Coffee With Aloha Spirit: The 32nd Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival (#)

„Farmers in Kona must also consider the best methods for growing in this part of the world, and agricultural research has played a critical role in Kona’s coffee production over the years. “There is a long history of research on coffee by the University of Hawaii and a long relationship between the University and the coffee industry,” says Virginia Easton Smith of CTAHR (College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resource) of the University of Hawaii. “Some of the topics have been fertilizer requirements for optimum production, harvesting and processing for top quality coffee, best methods to use for starting a coffee orchard, nematode symptoms and management, and many other topics.” Smith gives a monthly “Coffee Talk” for the farmers on cultivation, and farmers come to her and the CTAHR when they have a problem or a question.“

„The Dutch planted the first arabica trees in Java early in coffee history, and before the rust disease virtually wiped out the industry, Java led the world in coffee production. Most of this early acreage has been replaced by disease-resistant robusta, but, under the sponsorship of the Indonesian government, arabica has made a modest comeback on several of the old estates originally established by the Dutch.“

Virtual Coffee: Books (#)

„They are eager to learn about the goatherd Kaldi, the legendary discoverer of coffee, or about the enthusiasm and alarm that met the bean as it spread throughout the Old World. More recent history--such as the development of instant and decaffeinated coffees, as well as the role that coffee served as part of the bulwark of America's Cold-War policy towards Latin America--is equally appealing. And learning about modern debates over cultivation methods and marketing approaches enables drinkers to feel that they are participating in this history, not just enjoying a cup of Joe. All of this adds to the experience of drinking a fine coffee well-prepared.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Most of our nasty espresso is used secondarily as a coffee flavor added to a large glass of hot and sweetened milk to produce the beverage known as the caffe latte’. The incontrovertible source of the word “espresso” is lost in the anecdotal history of coffee cuisine. The only thing we know for certain is that it is never spelled “expresso.” While speed or rapidity are seemingly implied, once you have learned how to run your machine you will find there is nothing fast about creating a double tall skinny orange-almond latte with extra foam. The etymological source I prefer to cling to is an Italian word saying simply, “I have just now made this with my own hands especially for you.” back to contents B-1.“

Amazon.com: Books: Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World (#)

„The book is a bit heavy on the marketing history of the industry, but to business people or economists this is a one of its strongest aspects. It is also important to understand the history of coffee consumption in the US (and has implications for other products we buy.) Quite simply, Americans bought crappy coffee just because of the advertising and brand strategy. It is amazing to me how much longer it took Americans to realize the potential for much better tasting coffee. It does give hope to all entrepreneurs, because this seems so obvious to us post-Starbucks, but it is only very recently that gourmet coffee companies figured out that we might want something with flavor.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Competitions aimed at finding and rewarding the best green coffees from a given country and crop have proven to be one of the great success stories in the recent history of coffee. The farmers whose coffees prevail in these juried competitions receive recognition and significantly higher prices, while aficionado consumers are rewarded with access to refined lots of exceptional coffees that otherwise might be lost in the great sea of decent-but-not-great beans flowing through normal channels to our cups and kitchens. This month's article reviews ten coffees that placed anywhere from first to thirty-third in recent coffee competitions organized .“

International Coffee Organization (#)

„The first successful extraction of caffeine from coffee beans was achieved by a German chemist, Runge, in 1820. His friend, the poet Goethe, had suggested that Runge analyse the constituents of coffee to discover the cause of his insomnia - and the history of decaffeinated coffee began. However, the real technical breakthrough did not come until the turn of the century, when Ludwig Roselius decided to pre-treat the coffee beans with steam before bringing them into contact with the caffeine-removing solvent. Steaming swells the beans, increasing their surface area and making the caffeine easier to remove.“

Coffee awards at Koffee Korner - Many quality ones! (#)

„Most useful of all, perhaps, to those who live in or frequently visit Hong Kong, as one of its features is a detailed chart indicating the best places in town to get a cup of coffee. But there is plenty of other material to investigate, including the history of coffee, beginning with legends of its origins. The page has an infectious enthusiasm for its subject, and succeeded in at least one case in sending the visitor straight to the kitchen to brew up a potful. At the very least, you'll come away from Koffee Korner knowing what a "barista" is, if you don't already." “

„The history books tells us that Father Felix Velarde was the first Costa Rican coffee grower; his will, dated 1816, refers to a plot of land on which coffee had been planted. Tradition has it that he bequeathed the seeds to his neighbors, inviting them to plant them. His suggestion must have taken hold, because the first recorded export of Costa Rican coffee, a one-hundred pound shipment to Panama, took place in 1820.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Both roasters offered agreeable and credible renditions of the traditional style of darker-roasted Sumatra, though the Peet's version, perhaps owing to superior freshness or more tactful roasting, showed more complexity and power. Those who buy the pleasant and true-to-type Sumatra from Starbucks in the coming month of January will experience the satisfaction of provoking another small donation (two dollars per pound) to tsunami aid, thus amplifying the gesture of solidarity that buying any Sumatra coffee represents at this moment in history.“

„All that is history, but lots of Greek families still enjoy their coffee in this traditional way, just as the Brazilians take their cafezinho. The taste is not that different either, which can be easily understood just from walking past the exhibition stand of a traditional Greek trader. The Rio smell is unmistakable, and next to it, the more mysterious and undefined Santos aroma: all in all it’s a very educational experience for those who want to travel back a while in coffee history.“

„After a full day of seminars about the history of El Salvador, its people, and the land, our delegation began learning about the coffee business. Coffee was first grown here as a cash crop in 1841, and quickly became a dominant export. As time passed, those who rule the land--members of seven families whose roots trace back to the Spanish conquistadors who conquered El Salvador and its indigenous peoples--began exercising greater control over the coffee farming business.“

Tea & Coffee 05/01 - Life in a Vacuum (#)

„Throughout the history of coffee as a commercial product there has existed the struggle between the obvious and noble goal of selling coffee as fresh as possible and the equally strong desire to arrest the effects of time on just roasted coffee. The consumer has profited from both drives and, while these two philosophies seem necessarily opposed, they can actually co-exist to the benefit of both the coffee industry and the consumer.“

Review of Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast (#)

„''Every businessman wants a product that is habit-forming,'' wrote the Maxwell House adman Bill Benton, of Benton & Bowles. ''That's why cigarettes, Coca-Cola and coffee do so well.'' And that's why the history of advertising can be equated with any of these habit-formers and why the history of coffee is a natural follow-up for the author who earlier wrote ''For God, Country and Coca-Cola.'' “
