Virtual Coffee: Gourmet Coffee Goes its Own Way in England (#)

„The coffee revival in the UK only started in 1995 and resulted from 15 million Britsholidaying overseas and tasting good coffee annually, and half a dozen of them noticingthat it wasnt available when they got back home. London was the obvious starting point,and a few coffee chains, including Aroma, Costa Coffee, The Seattle Coffee Company andMatthew Algie grew from one to dozens of outlets in just two years. The big chain, Pret AManger, was primarily a city-based sandwich operation with coffee tagged on. Some have nowsold out for big money to big corporations, throwing a question mark on such marketingslogans as "Passionate About Coffee." Perhaps "passionate about profit" would be moreaccurate.“

Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)

„In the early years of this industry, Roger Sandon, founder and publisher of Café Olé Magazine, said to me, "Bruce, this is not about the coffee… it's about the break." Another Seattle friend, Italian-born Mauro Cipolla, founder of Caffe D' arte, echoed the same sentiment. Mauro asserts that while the coffee in Italy is excellent, the reason there are over 200 thousand coffee bars in that country is that they provide a place to meet friends and neighbors. These small bars on nearly every corner are where you learn your close friend's wife is pregnant, someone’s uncle is ill, or the score of last night's soccer match.“

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

„This last tradition could be called post-modern espresso, Seattle-style espresso, cart espresso (after the ubiquitous Seattle espresso cart), mall espresso, or even latte espresso, after its featured drink. It should be noted that Seattle, which has become one of the meccas of North American coffee culture, produces some of the purest and most elegantly presented espresso cuisine in the world. However, it also has spawned an innovating new cuisine that has about the same relationship to classic espresso as the pop singer Madonna has to her namesake. Starbucks has adopted a restrained version of the Seattle cuisine, and is busy initiating the rest of the world into its milky ways.“

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

„It's difficult for a long-time Berkeley guy like me to admit that the Pacific Northwest is the heart of current North American coffee culture, but it is. Seattle, Portland, and small cities and towns around and between are paved with coffee houses, coffee stands, cafes and specialty roasters of every possible level of size and sophistication, far more numerous and more varied than elsewhere. (Although, to keep history straight and old-timers off my back, the specialty coffee revival was first popularized in Berkeley with Alfred Peet's famous Vine Street store, and the new American cafe; first configured in the Italian neighborhoods of San Francisco and New York.)“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„ Basing the roots of his promotions in the community is also where Mark Klebeck, co-owner of Seattle's Top Pot Doughnuts and Zeitgeist Coffee Roasters, has seen the biggest pay-off. Listen to one of Seattle's public radio stations such as KEXP (a station that plays an eclectic variety of music including alternative, blues, reggae, country, world music, rockabilly, hip-hop, and experimental), and you'll get an earful about Klebeck's venture. "Listeners support KEXP, and so does Top Pot Doughnuts, serving fresh coffee and hand-forged doughnuts every day," announces the radio.“

Why Home Roast? (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„I liken it to the difference between home-baked cookies and store-bought cookies. I guarantee that the first batch of coffee you roast in your home will taste better than the coffee roasted in Seattle two or more weeks ago or even that of your local coffee supplier. Also, consider this: right now you probably buy your coffee by the pound, so you only get to enjoy one type of coffee at a time. If you roast your own coffee, you can buy many different types and blends of green coffee.“

CoffeeKid - Part Two: A long Coffee Road Discussed (#)

„Not only do they bend over backwards to make sure everything's right, but they informally allow Baristi to get some "face time" with machines prior to competitions, either at their showrooms, or their "satellite partners" showrooms. I remember going to ESI's Seattle office and seeing Dismas Smith (Zoka Coffee ) training for the World's last year - getting a full day in ESI's showroom, allowed to do pretty much anything he wanted (with Jeff Babcock overseeing everything Dis was doing). ESI also graciously provided the facilities and equipment for the first ever Pacific Northwest Barista Jam last February.“

„Sumatra, whose primary export is coffee, was one of the countries hit the hardest. Fonte Coffee Roaster, a small independent coffee roaster in Seattle, hopes to continue the donation efforts and rally the rest of the coffee community by joining coffee powerhouse Starbucks' efforts to support the tsunami relief. To that end, Fonte will donate $2 for each pound of Sumatra coffee purchased through the website at www.fontecoffee.com or by calling 1-88-FONTE until further notice.“

CoffeeGeek - The Latte Gambit (#)

„Asked the same question, Bruce Milletto, owner of Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup in Eugene, Ore., cites a "migration" to the Northwest that took place in the '60s. "A lot of really aware, hip people got in their Volkswagen buses and tried to find an area that was suitable politically and environmentally to their concerns." Milletto adds that "nobody expected it to be Seattle," but by the early '90s, even before Starbucks started its geometric expansion, the Seattle coffee scene was becoming known to people around the country.“

BBC - BBC Four Profile - Howard Schultz (#)

„Born in 1952 and raised on a Brooklyn housing project, Schultz got to university on a football scholarship and worked his way up to domestic manager for Hammarplast, a coffee-maker supplier. When he noticed how many of his machines were going to one coffee bean store in Seattle, he decided to investigate. The store was Starbucks and, impressed by the shop-owners' dedication to coffee connoisseurship, Schultz jumped ship and started to market the original Starbucks chain of four.“

International Coffee Organization (#)

„For North Americans, the world's largest consumers, Seattle is the new spiritual home of coffee. The wettest major city in the USA gave birth in the 1970s to a café or 'Latte' culture which swept the USA and has dramatically improved the general quality of the coffee Americans drink. Today, any public place in the USA will have one or more coffee carts, serving a variety of coffees, drinks and snacks.“

„However, as their Seattle colleagues were busy proliferating menu options while standing pat on the coffee, others in the Seattle area were simultaneously occupied developing a more refined espresso, using naturally sweet, low-acid coffees brought to a moderate roast designed to caramelize the sugars in the bean rather than burning them, maximizing body in the cup rather than sending it up the chimney in the roasting smoke.“

I'm hoping the article will come out by the end of March.“
