Coffee and Cafés of Amsterdam (#)

„The drinks are expertly made by well-trained staff and consumed by regulars who know their coffee and are delighted to find a place like this in which to drink it. But the heart of Brandmeester's operation is downstairs which is where the packing and shipping of the coffee, equipment and supplies is consigned for their growing European mail-order business. There is a buzz about the place that is palpable. Brandmeester's are in the midst of expansion and see the potential of their market growing by leaps and bounds - a salutary example to a good many small businesses that knowledge, energy, a good organisation and love of your trade can take you a very long way.“

Café de Colombia - OUR CAMPAIGN (#)

The Agency In order to launch its initial advertising campaign back in the late 1950's, the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia hired the New York based agency Doyle Dane Bernbach to create an advertising campaign that would set their product apart. Doyle Dane Bernbach created the character of Juan Valdez ®, to represent the typical coffee grower in Colombia and launched the educational campaign that made Colombian Coffee a household name. The agency later merged with the Chicago based agency Needham Harper Steers to become DDB Needham Worldwide Advertising and with BBDO Worldwide, all three under the ownership of Omnicom, today the second largest advertising group in the world.“

Tea & Coffee 11/04 - Coffee Brokers: Innovations in Trading (#)

„“We handle almost all types of coffee, as washed, naturals, organic, for both Arabica and Canephora, in all their quality grades; however, the traded volume for each one depends on the international market situation, our buyers demands and of course our sellers’ offers. We are particularly involved in improving the quality of the coffee consumed in the international market but especially in Eastern Europe; at the same time, we function as a link between the seller and the buyer, in order to cover the demand for any type of coffee, available on the international market,” says Ureña. “Our coffee is special because we are able to source any origin our client needs, from commodity grades to tailor made specialty coffee. Our sources are very diversified, starting from the main producing countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and even from tiny exotic producers as Myanmar, Laos and Nepal,” he says.“

Gurus.net: How to Use a La Pavoni Manual Lever-Piston Espresso Machine by Daniel Ho - How to... (#)

„I used to use 100% distilled water until a couple of people suggested that I mix it with a bit of bottled mineral water.  I tried it, and you know what?  The espresso didn't taste as "flat." The shots also taste a bit sweeter  Before each session, I now mix a batch of 80% distilled water with 20% Vittel in a plastic water container.  Then, I close the lid and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds in order to aerate the water before putting it into the Pavoni.  This may sound a bit fanatical, but it works for me.  Just remember, your coffee can only be as good as your water.  Sometimes I will put the filter in and pull a shot without any coffee just to taste the water.  This way, I can tell if the water tastes OK as well as whether the equipment is clean enough. “

Espresso Grinding and Dosing (#)

„To extract espresso properly it is essential to use a burr grinder and to grind per order.  The two major types of burrs used are flat and conical.  Conical burrs are desirable because they increase the surface area of each particle and the amount of flavor that can be extracted from the coffee.  Since conical burrs have longer cutting edges, the burrs can rotate at lower speeds which reduces the heat created.  Flat burrs should be replaced after 600 pounds of coffee have been ground and conical burrs should be replaced after 2000 pounds of coffee have been ground.“

Most farmers have an inherent feel for the coffee, often knowing just where the unique and awesome flavor will come from, even without any formal cupping training. Of course, there are a number of other steps to producing great coffee; what starts out as a flawless coffee can end up as something less due to processing mistakes or carelessness.“

"This protection has resulted in us having 100 year old trees still producing coffee; most other coffee growing areas are riddled with disease and pests. We would be better served by our scientists continuing to keep invasive pests and diseases out of our islands, than on introducing varieties that put us at risk".“

„Espresso machines force the hot water through very finely and compacted coffee and then into the cups below. Good espresso is expensive to make because in order to extract the greatest amount of flavour from the coffee, a high level of pressure is required and thus a high specification machine. Yet when making espresso, it is important not to over-extract the coffee, which means the machine should be switched off sooner, rather than later. While the coffee is still coming out as a golden brown liquid, it is perfect.“

How To Store Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„Storage is integral to maintaining your coffee's freshness and flavor. It is important to keep it away from excessive air, moisture, heat, and light -- in that order -- in order to preserve its fresh-roast flavor as long as possible.  Coffee beans are decorative and beautiful to look at but you will compromise the taste of your coffee if you store your beans in ornamental, glass canisters on your kitchen countertop.  Doing so will cause them to become stale and your coffee will quickly lose its fresh flavor.“

:: The Extraordinary Grind :: (#)

„With espresso grinds we run the paradox of requiring a fine enough grind to give the correct brew time whilst having a large enough surface area in the wad of coffee to give the extraction of the right compounds in the correct quantities. In order to do this we require a completely different kind of particle size distribution to that found in filter coffee where the particles tend to be of a more even size (see fig. 1). In contrast, the espresso grind shown in fig 2 has two main peaks or "modes" thus allowing for the desired flow rate as well as the extraction needed for real espresso.“
