India coffee-monthly magazine-Over A Cup Of Coffee (#)
„Hardly a car was seen on the road that passed my bungalow, but a daily bus plied to Belur and then in 1936, came the first lorry to lift the coffee to Mangalore for curing by Peirce Leslie and dispatch to London for sale. Prior to the arrival of the lorry and even then for three or more years thereafter, the coffee was sent by bullock carts down the Shiradi Ghaut. I remember now the jangling of the bells on the bullocks as the 20 or so carts arrived from the Hassan area one evening and the talk and camp fires of the Gowda drivers in the field outside the bungalow and drying-ground as they assembled for the 6 day journey.

CoffeeGeek - Rancilio Silvia - Lawrence Lo's Review
„The instruction manual provided is useless. I found that this is a fully manual machine so that you have to turn on and turn off the pump switch so as to control the time of expresso running out from the machine. I need to control the tamping and the grinding together in order to make a perfect 25s run. It takes me few weeks to master the techique...“

„01). Age-adjusted RR for all stroke, including transient ischemic attack, was 0.78 (95% confidence interval [Cl], 0.62 to 0.98) for each increase of three servings per day. For completed stroke the RR was 0.74 (95% Cl, 0.57 to 0.96); for completed stroke of ischemic origin the RR was 0.76 (95% Cl, 0.57 to 1.02); and for completed stroke of hemorrhagic origin, 0.49 (95% Cl, 0.25 to 0.95). Adjustment for body mass index, cigarette smoking, glucose intolerance, physical activity, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and intake of energy, ethanol, and fat did not materially change the results.“
