Amazon.com: Books: Left Back : A Century of Failed School Reforms (#)

„"Whenever the academic curriculum was diluted or minimized, large numbers of children were pushed through the school system without benefit of a genuine education," she writes. These words may not be welcome at teacher-training colleges, where so many of the ill-begotten theories and half-baked ideas she chronicles now percolate. But classroom veterans will appreciate Ravitch's insights: "What was sacrificed over the decades in which the schools were treated as vehicles for job training, social planning, political reform, social sorting, personality adjustment, and social efficiency was a clear definition of what schools can realistically and appropriately accomplish for children and for society."“

Global Exchange : Global Issues Flow Into America's Coffee (#)

„"Berkeley has always distinguished itself, to put it politely, by a surprising originality," said François-Xavier Perroud, a Nestlé spokesman. BERKELEY, though, may be a natural place for the coffee controversy to percolate. The city is known as a coffee Mecca where couples go to coffee houses on dates rather than to bars, and where drinkers debate the merits of one roast over another the way the French debate the merits of wines. Peet's Coffee and Tea, a famous Berkeley roaster, was the training ground for the founders of Starbucks, the biggest and most successful coffee bar chain in the world.“

Global Exchange : time041700.html (#)

„Starbucks, the first big U.S. retailer to sign on, will promote its new coffee beans this fall with in-store posters and brochures and keep the product on the shelves in 2,000 outlets for at least a year. Will the effort percolate through the whole $18 billion U.S. coffee industry? Global Exchange, the San Francisco-based human-rights group that organized the aborted protest, is calling on companies such as Folgers and Maxwell House to follow suit. Warns Medea Benjamin, a Global Exchange official: "Coffee without the Fair Trade seal is very likely sweatshop coffee."“

Amazon.com: Books: Beach Girls (#)

„This angst-laden second chance at love (and living) tale contains a strong cast and a unique engaging story line. For much of the novel, Nell's need to reach back to her deceased mom's past is the focus while the adult love is handled quite deftly by simmering it slowly to percolate as neither Stevie nor Jack is truly ready for a relationship when they first re-meet. Though perhaps some readers will feel Nell is too precocious, BEACH GIRLS is a well done character study that concentrates on what individuals do to survive traumas, tragedies, and failures.“

Review of Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast (#)

„Today we Americans drink less coffee than we did in the 30's, but we are drinking and brewing it better. We no longer boil grounds campfire style or percolate them genteel style in the pot. And we have a taster's dream choice of beans, roasts, grinds and brewing equipment. Even our lingo has changed -- from ''Gimme a cuppa joe'' to ''Give me an iced short schizo skinny hazelnut cappuccino with wings.'' (Translation: a small iced hazelnut coffee with one shot of regular and one of decaf, plus skim milk with foam, to go.)“

„Both processes using solvents often are called European Process or Traditional Process. The water-only method, commonly known by the proprietary name Swiss Water ProcessTM, involves the same steps, but removes the caffeine from the water by allowing it to percolate through a bed of activated charcoal. In the carbon dioxide method, which is only beginning to be established in the specialty-coffee trade, the caffeine is stripped directly from the beans by a highly compressed semi-liquid form of carbon dioxide.“

The Espresso Pages from Sweet Maria's: Espresso, a Definition and General (#)

„It is made on a specialized machine that forces hot water through finely ground coffee that has been compacted (tamped), the force of the water being spent in the coffee cake. It takes 20-30 seconds to percolate the water through the coffee cake (or "puck") which is held in a portafilter "coffee handle". It is judged by its appearance, aroma, mouthfeel (body), flavor and aftertaste.“

„Tamp with30-40 pounds of pressure (in training we tamp on a bathroom scale on the counter). Thisevenly compacts all of the coffee giving the water a uniform bed to percolate through. Donot tap the portafilter handle between tamps, as this will just tend to loosen adhesionbetween the packed coffee and the basket. When releasing pressure from each of the fourtamps, give a slight twist to the tamper to polish the surface of the compacted coffee.“

Eco-Friendly Indian Coffee: A Profile (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„This not only contributes to the soil fertility, but also protects the precious soil from weathering and other undesirable factors. Most coffee plantations are located in regions with average to heavy rainfall, yet even if there is a shower of 10 cms on one single day, there will never be runoff inside the plantation because of the thick mulch, which acts as a blotting paper, allowing the water to slowly percolate downward.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Risen Empire: Book One of Succession (#)

„This book, while not up to the level of Alastair (no relation) Reynolds or M. John Harrison's brilliant Light, is so crammed full of ideas and oblique perspectives that the first volume ended at just the appropriate place to let it simmer and percolate in the old subconscious for a bit. ("Brilliant Light." Ha ha.) The anticipation of a return to the universe of The Risen Empire, alone justifies this approach.“

„However, for novels, short stories, and longer works, you would be a fool to let great ideas get away. Personally, I like to let some of those ideas percolate for weeks and even years. Yes, we mature and our perspectives change, but in a lot of cases that only means that we can approach a subject in a different way as we grow older. It doesn't make the subject any better or worse to write about.“

„A typical Italian espresso maker makes four tacitas, but they are available in as small as two (for the lonely Cuban bachelor) and as many as eight and up (for Noche Buena - the family Christmas Eve dinner). As the first trickles of coffee percolate, pour enough to moisten the sugar in the metal cup. Vigorously mix the moistened sugar and coffee until it becomes a light paste.“

„Some don'ts: Do not boil coffee; it cooks off all the delicate flavoring essence and leaves the bitter chemicals. Do not percolate or reheat coffee; it has the same effect as boiling, only less so. Do not hold coffee on heat for more than a few minutes for the same reason. Do not mix old coffee with new, which is like using rotten wood to prop up a new building.“
