Indiacoffee - - Indian Coffee, Monthly magazine - Cover Story - Cupping - how it all began (#)

„To Clarence Bickford belongs the credit of having discovered the cup qualities of high-grown Central American coffees. He was employed at the time by a broker named Hockhofler, and probably did not realize what far-reaching effect his discovery would have on the future of San Francisco's coffee trade; but no other factor has contributed so much to its growth. When roasters began to examine coffees for their taste, values were of course revolutionized. Antiguas, and other high-grown coffees, that had theretofore been penalized for the small size of bean, soon brought a premium, and have been in great demand ever since.“

„In the nine years I was in San Francisco I would say that the prefernces there are (overall) for a pretty dark roast. San Francisco has had great coffee for a very long time. When I returned to the Midwest I discovered a blossoming of the specialty coffee industry here, but still, ten years later the coffee in most restaurants is horrible. Even the restaurants that are known for their good food are too cheap to pay the extra two cents a cup that it would cost to dramatically improve their product.“
