Coffee and Cafés of Amsterdam (#)

„The Dutch, of course, have an intimate connection with the bean as they were the first to actually grow the plant on European soil (see Fertile Grounds). And Dutch traders were quick to exploit the potential of the black brew, setting up the earliest coffee plantations and using the proceeds to fuel themselves as well as their nascent stock market. But even though Amsterdam, along with London, was one of the twin centres of the early worldwide coffee network, consumption at home was generally the quick and bitter fix that became the standard fare for caffeine starved workers. Of course there were specialty shops like Geels>> that served the more sophisticated tastes but, in the main, coffee in cafés was seen as simply a chaser for alcoholic stuff flavoured with hops or juniper.“

Tea & Coffee 10/01 - A Tea Filter Renaissance (#)

„Grace’s first Teapot Filter was about the size of a teabag, open at one end, to which the consumer could add up to 4 tsps of loose leaf tea, fold over the top of the bag to close it, drop it in a warmed teapot, add boiling water, cover the teapot to retain heat (“The best tea is brewed with furiously boiling water in a closed teapot to retain heat so the leaves will fully open to release all their flavor and aroma,” advises Sanders.), brew to the desired strength; and then easily remove it to stop brewing. Last year, Grace introduced Extra Long Teapot Filters, which are used in the same way, but their extra length permits them to hold up to 6 tbsps and to be suspended in the teapot by the open end being held by the lid of the pot. This dry end allows the user to easily remove the filter once the desired strength has been reached.“

Amazon.com: Books: Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory (#)

„Lipstadt (Religion/Emory University; Beyond Belief, 1985--not reviewed) traces the history of Holocaust revisionism and contends that it can no longer be ignored, showing how Holocaust-deniers, once dismissed as a lunatic fringe, have been growing in numbers and influence during the past 20 years. Citing groups like the Institute for Historical Review, publications like The Spotlight, politicians like David Duke, and academicians like Leonard Jeffries, Lipstadt presents numerous examples of attempts to prove that the extermination of six million Jews is a hoax; that only a few thousand Jews died in the camps from disease; that the Allied bombings of German cities were worse than any Nazi offense; and that the ``true victims'' of WW II were the German people. These distortions of recorded history, argues the author, threaten to undermine our Western rationalist tradition and to legitimize the politicization of history. To Lipstadt, the common thread among Holocaust deniers is a ``purely anti-Semitic diatribe'' portraying Jews as victimizers.“

Technivorm SCAA-approved Coffee Makers Electric Drip Brewers; KB-741, Moccamaster CD, KBTS, KB741 (#)

„It's the filterholder's drip stop switch. It is supposed to be set to "Full Drip" when you brew a full pot, "Slow Drip" (half open) for brewing less than a full pot, and No Drip (closed) to pull out the pot when coffee is still brewing. However, it has a fantastic alternative function; I set it to No Drip for the first 1-2 minutes of the brew cycle to allow for the hot water and grinds to fully infuse, then I switch it to Slow Drip for the remainder of the brew cycle (I see no need to use Full Drip at all). The intensity of the coffee is excellent using this technique, and no longer is the timing of the water passing through the coffee dependent on the grind; too coarse and the brew tastes week and under-infused, too fine and it is bitter and has sediment).“

BBC News | From Our Own Correspondent | Pol Pot remembered (#)

„always in the quietest of tones"Elizabeth Becker of the New York Times, author of 'When the War is Over', is one of the few westerners ever to have met Pol Pot. She sent this personal report to the BBC's 'From Our Own Correspondent': It has been 18 years since I met him at the height of his power and even though my interview lasted little more than a few hours, it was long enough to give me a touchstone that I have used ever since, to help me figure out what Pol Pot may be up to, how and why he could evade and bully his way out of one trap after another, and whether the belated efforts to capture him might work. It was 22 December 1978, a cool sunny afternoon in Phnom Penh, the last day of a unique two week trip to Democratic Kampuchea. The Khmer Rouge had only invited select communist journalists to their country before my trip and - with the exception of the film produced by a gifted Yugoslav television crew - little had been revealed by those communists.“

Most pot-heads, and those who like to laugh themselves off the sofa, love this movie because of its extreme outrageousness (as a note during World War 2, the US government produced a short film called Hemp for Victory in order to promote marijuana to help with the war [If you do not know what I am talking about read The Cannabis Grow Bible by Greg Green and The Emperor has No Clothes by Jack Herer) and is packed with campy acting.“

Drinking Decaffeinated Coffees (#)

„It seems to be brewed with a lighter touch (ie: less concern for a hearty, tasteful brew) so that it often tastes only a step above it's dismal cousin, decaffeinated instant coffees. To make matters worse, the pot of decaf can (and usually does) sit on a burner for much longer than the regular pot simply because decaf is not requested as much. After fifteen minutes on the warmer, the pot of decaf will begin to break down and turn bitter and flat -- just like all those awful cups of decaf we've all had. A conscientious establishment uses air pots to preserve the flavor of the coffee for a long period of time.“

„   Deep in the depths of Shropshire, a very rural county bordering England and Wales, there is a tourist road sign for the Bird on the Rock Tearoom, and that, in Britain, is an accolade in itself. On approaching the 16th century building, one sees the first sign of the 1930s: Parked outside is a vintage Austin A35 van with a traditional English teapot in the window. Inside this quintessential English tearoom with its oak beams, flagstone floors and period memorabilia, it is obvious that the aim is to provide only the best of everything—the best tea, the best coffee, the best linen (designed solely for the owners) and the ultimate best of experiences. It is probably the only village tearoom where it is virtually essential to book a table for lunch.“

The trickling of water through the freshly ground beans and the aroma of strong coffee as I read my morning paper set me in a positive frame of mind as I wait for that first cup. It's no wonder that coffee is an addictive beverage -- the whole process from start to finish is steeped in ritual and pleasure!“

Selecting a Coffee Brewing Method (#)

„The device brewing on the stove top was a comforting part of each morning. The method was fairly quick since the pot didn't hold more than 3-4 small cups of coffee but be prepared to experiment with the grind of your beans until you can determine the perfect grind to allow for the water to drip into the compartment at the proper speed. Now that I am more familiar with the correct brewing procedures, I believe the boiling water was not the best temperature for making coffee. To control this, you'll need to experiment and time the water to just before it boils and follow this guide for a good cup of coffee.“

„The plunger method, said to have been invented in 1933, extracts the most flavour from the ground beans. The pot is warmed, coarsely ground coffee is placed in the bottom, hot water is added to the grounds and stirred, then it is allowed to steep for three to five minutes, before the plunger is pushed down to separate the coffee grounds from the coffee infusion. This method is only slightly less convenient than the filter method and is today one of the two fastest growing ways to make fresh ground coffee. Cheaper pot models have nylon rather than stainless steel mesh to separate the grounds from the infusion, but they do not last as long.“

The study found that the mean values of CO and NOx emissions from the improved stoves measured at the breathing zone of the cook were three to four times lesser than those from the traditional stoves. Similarly, TSP levels were six to seven times lower in the improved stoves.“

For example, will you be using a plunger pot?  A flat drip filter? A cone drip filter?  A gold mesh filter? They will grind it specifically for the preparation method you have chosen and the equipment you use.“

„"Bring the pot to the kettle, not the kettle to the pot" goes the old saying, and this is for minimizing the heat loss from the moment the heat is removed to the moment of pouring. Black teas require water at a full rolling boil, and the lid should be clapped on immediately afterward. Don't boil the water too long, or the oxygen content of the water will be reduced and lend a flat taste to the cup.“

„These ultra-orthodox Jews have managed to become a part of American society, but have not given up their strongly held ritualistic beliefs, old world customs and manner of dress, which to the uninformed, may seem very strange and anachronistic at the start of the 21st century. A wonderful story of a religious people who have not compromised their "old-world" beliefs, yet have managed to thrive in the American "melting pot".“

„In addition, the IRS promised to torment doctors prescribing marijuana while Orrin Hatch's Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings to battle the legality of the California law. Bill Clinton's bevy of antagonists included Janet Reno and Donna Shalala, both avowed leftists that clashed against their own kind; clearly, sustenance of a federal mastery over the behavior of its minions superceded a politically incorrect freedom-for-pot-smokers movement.“

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

„French press is essentially open-pot coffee with a sophisticated method for separating the grounds from the brew. The pot is a narrow glass cylinder. A fine-mesh screen plunger fits tightly inside the cylinder. You put coarse-to-medium ground coffee in the cylinder, pour water just short of boiling over it, and insert the plunger in the top of the cylinder without pushing it down.“

View topic - coffee pot question - Coffee Forum (#)

„Over the summer, I read in a magazine that using coffee filters in a pot robs the coffee of the oils which are naturally present in coffee. The magazine stated that there exists a product which allows this oil to brew into the pot with the coffee, but I do not remember what this product is called. Does anyone know of the name, or have any idea what I am talking about? Thanks.“

Coffee Buying Tips, Coffee Grinding Tips (#)

„If your grind is too fine, you will over extract your coffee and a bitter flavor may result. It will also be difficult or impossible for you to push the plunger down in your pot if the grind is too fine. Now here is an application for your French press that you probably don't know about. Heat a cup of milk (non-fat works best) in a sauce pan on your stove or in a microwave.“

It's All About Coffee (#)

„I much prefer the press pot (aka French press) because the taste and body are much better than the drip method. I use the Melitta because I'm in a hurry and I need to make more coffee than my press pot makes. I'm too lazy to wash it and make a second batch. I need to get a larger press pot so I can use it every day.“

„The amount of tea needed per pot or cup is less than expected. Approximately 2 grams per cup is enough for a perfect tasting tea (1 teaspoon per cup, 6-8 oz.), which will last for many infusions, as is done throughout the world. Full leaf teas always produce more than one cup per teaspoon when made correctly.“
