Tips on Coffee - Coffee Producing Countries
„Today Brazil is responsible for about a third of all coffee production, making it by far the heavyweight champion of the coffee-producing world.Notable Beans: Bahia, Bourbon Santos Colombia (10.5 million bags) Colombia is the only South American country with both Atlantic and Pacific ports—an invaluable aid to shipping. The crop’s economic importance is such that all cars entering Colombia are sprayed for harmful bacteria.Notable Beans: Medellin, Supremo, Bogotá Indonesia (6.7 million bags) The Dutch unwittingly gave coffee a nickname in the late 17th century, when they began the first successful European coffee plantation on their island colony of Java (now part of Indonesia). Top-grade arabicas are still produced on Java as well as on Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Flores, but the Indonesian archipelago is most notable as the world’s largest producer of robusta beans. Notable Beans: Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi (Celebes) Vietnam (5.8 million bags) French missionaries first brought coffee to Vietnam in the mid-1860s, but production remained negligible as late as 1980.“

„SCAA Conference is April in S.F. As always, I'll be roaming the halls and conference rooms of the year 2000 SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) Conference in San Francisco this April 14-17th. The SCAA is the hub of the coffee world, with more focus on the top 5% of the world coffee production that truly qualifies as specialty. It is fitting to hold it in San Francisco because, despite claims to the contrary, the Bay Area is the true center of specialty coffee in the US.“

CoffeeKid - Hearthware, JJ Bean, Rancilio N. America, and more news
„Had a very nifty phone call with one of the top guys at Rancilio North America, a relatively new organization that is primed to change Rancilio's North American representation for the better. Most of the convo was confidential, but what I can say is I was left with a very good feeling about where the company was headed, and exciting things are planned for Rancilio in the home and commercial market for the next few years. This news is also good for Canadians, as there is no longer a monopoly in Canada for Rancilio products - Rancilio N.A. is moving in.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Motel in America (Road and American Culture)
„The Motel In America explores the effect on American culture as citizens became motorists. The popularity of motels grew steadily throughout the century, booming after World War II, and reaching a peak in 1961 with over 61,000 motels operating throughout the country with the vast majority of them independently owned, introducing Americans to consumer novelties like color televisions, automatic coffee makers, shag rugs, and residential swimming polls. By the 1980s the number had dropped to around 40,000 with most of them affiliated with referral and franchise chains, reflecting the traveler's need for uniform quality and the entrepreneur's desire for regional or national recognition. The Motel In America is a comprehensive history from autocamp to franchise, illustrating much that is central to the American experience.“

Home Coffee Roasting Supplies -Sweet Maria's
„8/30: The El Salvador Cup of Excellence (CoE) Lots arrived! They came in really great; the #12 coffee is from Finca San Jose, a 100% Bourbon that is great in espresso (Illy uses these Bourbon Salvadors in espresso blends); the #15 coffee from Finca La Montañita is a flavor-forward Pacamara; the #19 is a Peaberry Pacamara from Montecarlos farm. The last is a fantastic cup with floral and citrus notes, almost as if a bit of Yirgacheffe was in there. I also have the new reviews up for the Guatemala HHT Finca San Vicente and the Mexican SHG EP Chiapas Jaltenango.“
