„There are probably at least 25 major species, all indigenous to tropical Africa and certain islands in the Indian Ocean, notably Madagascar. Difficulties in classification and even in designation of a plant as a true member of the Coffea genus arise because of the great variation in the plants and seeds. All species of Coffea are woody, but they range from small shrubs to large trees over 10 metres tall; the leaves can be yellowish, dark green, bronze or tinged with purple.“

„  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). In good years these coffees can contain acidity typical of Guatemalan coffee, and the full body of a good Javanese coffee. In addition, these coffees incorporate the unique spicy flavors of nutmeg, clove, cardamom, and pepper.“

„South Indian filter coffee is the most recognized coffee beverage. There are many first time coffee drinkers and lot of occasional toffee drinkers who should be turned into potential coffee consumers of future. The welcome signs are that the young India is discovering coffee while older people are rediscovering coffee and more and more players are expected, to come into the retail segment. The new Cafes will be the brand ambassadors of Indian Coffee.“

„Of course, it's a daily treat. I have my coffee break (not breaks) around 3.30 p.m. When I've earned it that is, after I've put in a few productive hours of uninterrupted writing.“

„Apparently the owner used to originally sell only coffee powder and beans, but after a visit to Europe was seduced by the idea of having a coffee house. And so now he has his regular clientele, some of whom we saw, a lady with two dogs basking in the morning sun outside at one of the tables, a man who comes with two women, encouraging speculation between my daughter and me as to what their relationship they could be, two women who were dawdling over their coffee with many a giggle, a young father who was indulging his infant son with a chocolate pastry - maybe he was giving his wife a lie-in on a Sunday, two men in suits discussing, possibly, the state of the world's economy, an obvious mother-daughter combination, and a man engrossed in his laptop - a writer in the making?“

„Today, we live in times of better self-control. We may not have the luxury of having eight cups of coffee, given the state of our physique and the worrying nature of our minds. And yet, even the generation reared on "one black coffee" still realizes that there is no greater pleasure than the perfectly made first cup of coffee. Everyone talks about getting up on the right side of the bed as the perfect start to the day, but to me, it has been and will always be the perfectly brewed cup of coffee, which sets the tone for the day.“
