Tea & Coffee 02/04 - Coffee Profitability: The Genesis of Profit Calculators (#)

„A few weeks ago while wrestling with ways to approach writing this article, a group of us were in Glasgow at Matthew Algie's brilliantly remodeled headquarters when David Williamson said something very interesting. He observed that espresso and espresso-based specialty coffee drinks are now almost universally regarded as "aspirational." So the great challenge and opportunity is to do what’s necessary so that filter coffee can earn and acquire a comparable level of respect. In other words, if people come to think about filter coffee the same way they do about espresso, in terms of the quality of the product and the presentation, the taste and the ambience, then the profit potential for "regular" coffee can move up closer to the stratospheric pricing levels specialty coffee drinks now take for granted.“

Tea & Coffee 05/04 - Hunting for Specialty in Costa Rica (#)

„And so, something they could not have realized is that the British cupping team was unique - for the first time, sessions included the U.K.’s top three female cuppers working side by side. New Zealander “A.J.” Kinnell, always known only by her initials, is a coffee buyer for the Matthew Algie Company of Glasgow. Anita Le Roy of Monmouth Coffee, from London’s Covent Garden, is regarded with some reverence as pioneer of good coffee since before the word “specialty” was even thought of. And Flori Marin, of Mercanta, is a native Costa Rican who was making a trip home to assess her own country’s coffee.“

Fairtrade | Suppliers | Caterers | FAQ (#)

„For a time, Provend sold Percol's Fairtrade coffees at a much cheaper price than all of the major brands they offered, including Kenco and Douwe Egberts. Tiki Caffé from Matthew Algie is similar in price to their decaffeinated coffee, costs around a fifth of a penny more per cup than their popular premium coffee, but is cheaper than their speciality and gourmet coffees. Bewley's Direct works out at 0.7p more per cup than their regular coffees.“

:: Sensational Coffee :: (#)

„Enter our sensory analysis project – a four year long study we’ve been conducting in conjunction with the University of Strathclyde. Chanchal Narain is the woman in charge – and she’s helping to put sensory analysis at the heart of Matthew Algie. As Chanchal explains: “It’s a relatively new science, using the human senses to evaluate products. With all coffees we are interested in the aroma, taste, aftertaste and mouthfeel, but for espresso we’re also interested in appearance – as crema is a sign of quality.“

Tea & Coffee 06/01 - Tea Drinkers Go Green (#)

„market. Matthew Algie’s foodservice customers were beginning to notice that consumers in coffee bars (the majority of the company’s business) were asking for an alternative to cappuccinos and espressos. Algie decided on the peach-flavored green tea because “it offers a soft, very palatable taste that appeals to those who have not drunk green tea before.”“

:: Dealing With Decaf :: (#)

„The Swiss Water process uses water - no nasty chemicals - to remove the caffeine, but not the flavour. Matthew Algie now has a fine example of Swiss Water decaffeinated beans: our scrumptious new Sumatra Mandheling Decaf. In a shocking departure from the horribly bland decafs of old, these beans yield an amazing flavour. And, of course, you can drink it at bedtime.“

„All his staff are very well trained and can produce a latte of four layers with latte art on the top. Matthew Algie, a prominent roaster in Glasgow, Scotland, supplied the machine, the beans, the training and the boiler in the kitchen, which was custom-made for Hawkes, who demanded something that would produce water at the right temperature for brewing white teas.“

„Well that is what I would have thought too.  I did say that to the lady on the phone and she said that they have been told to say that they are only for Matthew Algie machines.  I suppose that it is to cover themselves if it doesn't fit someones machine.  Seeing as your friend uses one though I shall assume its fine and get one :)“
