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

„I sampled these coffees in three stages: first as a single, straight shot (1.25-ounces including crema, 17-20 seconds after the first drop), next as a single shot mixed with one part hot (not frothed) milk, and finally as a single shot mixed with three parts hot milk. North American caffé lattes may add as much as six or eight parts milk to coffee, but at that extreme level of dilution I find it difficult to determine anything at all about the coffee itself. Readers who take their espresso in very large quantities of milk should find the coffees I identify as effective in "big milk" good candidates for home brewing regardless of the exact proportions of milk to coffee in their final drinks.“

Transfair USA | Press Releases (#)

„The company's decision is the latest step by Dunkin' Donuts to support coffee quality and sustainability amid troubling times for many coffee farmers. Beans for all Dunkin' Donuts espresso beverages, including cappuccino and latte, will be certified through TransFair USA, the only independent certifier of Fair Trade products in the U.S. The Fair Trade model guarantees farmers a price of $1.26 per pound for coffee. This enables farmers to make a sustainable living and encourages them to invest in quality coffee crops. "Our philosophy has always been to make high quality coffee accessible to as many people as possible," said Ken Kimmel, Vice President, Dunkin' Donuts Concepts.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Most folks don’t know espresso from bear whiz.  America is a milk-drinking country. 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.“

Espresso Roasting (#)

„Espresso potential is maximized in roasting when you maximize the sweetness and aroma of the coffee while minimizing the bitterness and acidity.  Most people focus on the latter and therefore roast extremely dark, yet without sweetness and aroma the espresso will never be palatable.  This explains the unpopularity of straight espresso and the popularity of espresso based drinks where either milk or other flavors are used to replace the sweetness that was lost by roasting darkly. “

Sweet Flavours (#)

„Known for introducing cardamom as aflavoring to coffee, today's specialty drink is the Hunter, with chocolate and butter rumas the focus ingredient. As the first coffee company to introduce syrups to their market,Robert's tested syrups and created fantasy names for their drinks such as Orange Kiss,Oriental Latte and Mintflirt. They found that creating these drinks clearly differentiatedtheir products, putting them at the leading edge of their market. Robert's Coffee selectedDa Vinci syrups because of their customer service, reliable deliveries and good marketingmaterial (recipes, leaflets, advertising slicks, table tents and shirts).“

From Cappuccino to Frappuccino (#)

„Paul Umar, a barista at Trieste for the past six years, gives me the scoop. Their Africano is basically a short latte -- the same shot of espresso as a regular latte but with less milk, which results in more coffee flavor. Especially good flavor is the result with Trieste's caffe mocha, which is made with high-quality Guittard chocolate and homemade whipped cream. A caffe mocha is simply a latte with a spoonful of chocolate, and while the whipped cream is optional, it should probably be required.“

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

„Second, there is a particularly wide spectrum of consuming habits among espresso drinkers, ranging from those who take a short shot without sugar, to others who add sugar to a straight shot, to still others who prefer the balance of coffee and milk achieved in a classic cappuccino, to others again who drown the coffee in caffe latte quantities of milk. All of these practices influence not only what one prefers in a blend, but also approach to brewing. Those who habitually dump a couple of spoonfuls of sugar into their demitasse or cappuccino, for example, may prefer long extractions that accentuate body and bitterness.“

CoffeeKid - Press Pots and Drip Brewers (#)

„First, if the machine has a single heating element for both the hot plate and brewing water, chances are it won't heat the water hot enough. I'm not saying all of them do this - I own a Saeco Latte coffee brewer, one made the first year this product came to market, and it has a single heating element for water and hotplate, and is quite capable of a 194F brew. Saeco changed the machines for some time (or had quality control issues) and machines were rolling out of their assembly plant with anemic 175F or lower brewing temperatures. Recently, a vendor I trust says that the new crop does indeed brew hot again.“

„In some American cafes, a drink made with about half American-roast, filter coffee, and about half hot milk and froth, usually served in a 12- or 16-ounce glass or bowl. The proportion of coffee to milk has to be larger than with the espresso-based caffe latte, because American filter coffee is so delicate in flavor and light in body compared to espresso.“
