„The coffee percolator was a civilising influence in the American wild west; it was certainly widely used throughout the USA, where, until the recent coffee 'revolution', it was a standard piece of equipment in most homes. The percolator heats the coarsely ground coffee and cold water so that it boils and bubbles up into the top of the unit. It is an excellent way to have the relaxing sound of the coffee liquid burbling and gurgling, and to waft the aroma of coffee through the home, as all the volatile wonderful flavours go out of the percolator and into the air! There is possibly no worse way to make fresh coffee than this.“

„This, I am convinced, was the reason for the persistence of the pumping percolator in American culture in the 1940s through 1960s. To Americans of that era, the gentle popping sound of the percolator and the smell the popping liberated signified coffee and made them feel good before they even lifted a cup.“

„Offered in Original, South American or African blend, these medium roast, rich-body coffees are selected from smaller coffee estates where farmers give individual care and attention to each coffee crop. Melitta Estate Blend coffees are packed in a 14.1 oz can specially equipped with our unique one-way Freshness Valve, which allows the coffee to be packed “hot out of the roaster”. The Freshness Valve lets the coffee cool in the canister and avoid exposure to oxygen. The result?“

Transfair USA | Fair Trade News
„Not everyone is greeting the Fair Trade label with open arms. Several American coffee importers recently pulled out of Fair Trade, citing TransFair's "corporate friendly" policies that allow large companies to use the Fair Trade logo in their marketing even if only a small amount of the company's overall purchases are Fair Trade certified.“

Café Cubano (Cuban Coffee) (INeedCoffee.com)
„It is not sipped or savored … it is shot! Café cubano is at-least double the strength of American coffee. It is a daily morning ritual for Cubans and Cuban-Americans. At any time of day or night at the countless little Cuban restaurants that dot Miami, people line up for "jolts" of café cubano served in thimble-sized paper cups.“
