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

„So where does all of this put us in regard to the relative merits of specialty can commercial coffees? About here, I think:1)The best specialty coffees, whether this cupping's Millstone Breakfast Blend or the superb Kenyas and Yirgacheffes in the March cupping, are both far more distinctive and far superior to the best of the canned coffees in this (or I suspect any other) cupping.2)On the other hand, canned commercial blends from the big food companies (and I don't include the Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee in this category) do offer one clear virtue: consistency and lack of dramatic fault. None of the canned coffees in the cupping display fermented notes like those found in, for example, this month's Trader Joe's Moka-Java blend, the April cupping's Java City Celebes, or a couple of the dry-processed Ethiopian coffees that we reported on in March. But, again, neither do the canned coffees deliver anything close to the power and intrigue of the best specialty selections.“

World Bank Group | Agriculture & Rural Development | Executive Summary - Coffee Markets: New Paradigms in Global Supply and Demand (#)

„A number of companies in the industry, including some that are household names, are adopting standards or developing purchasing criteria that transparently link their buying to positive socioeconomic and environmental effects in developing countries. Such emerging trade paradigms may offer producers alternative ways to capture the long-term value of sustainability by linking superior prices to demonstrable advancements in both the quality of the coffee and to more sustainable cultivation and trade practices.These new trade strategies are also consistent with a complex demand picture. There are structural changes in demand both at the consumer level and at the industry level. These changes include stagnant overall growth in the traditional major importing countries, increased demand for soluble coffee, increased demand for differentiated and higher-value products, new technology allowing greater fungibility in coffee supplies, and geographic-generational shifts in the popularity of different types of coffee products.“

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

„A Costa-Rica cupping also invites testing of the implied assumption that "estate" coffees are superior to coffees that are sold more generically: by mill name, region, or grade. In some parts of the world estate coffees are definitely not superior, simply because there are not enough farms well-organized enough to be called "estates." In Costa Rica, however, the estate concept is well-established and relationships between consumer-country buyers and growing-country farmers well-developed. If there is any general validity to linking quality with marketing by estate, it ought to be reflected in a random sampling of Costa-Rica coffees from American roasters.“

„In 1933, when Francesco Illy founded illycaffe in Trieste, Italy, his dream was to produce and sell the best coffee in the world. However, producing a superior coffee was inconsequential if he couldn't find a way to preserve the freshness. With great persistence, Illy soon found a solution: containers in which nitrogen is substituted for air, making it possible to keep roasted coffee fresh for up to 2 years! His pressurization method made history, and today, history is still being made with the illy Easy Serving Espresso (ESE) system.“

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

„Given the poor quality of certain other espressos I've tasted, I would say that even the blends that scored a bit lower in these ratings are superior coffees. I have drunk espresso made with both Illy coffee and Peet's Major Dickason's blend with the most intense pleasure, yet both came in somewhere in the middle of the pack. In a crowded airport I recently had a straight shot of Illy that rang on my palate for two hours afterwards and probably constituted the finest moment of my admittedly rather dismal travelling day.“

„I believe that it must be developed more but in the end side by side. I believe air roasted coffee is superior and as the cusumer gets more in the way of choice in the matter they will begin to agree. BTW how many here have tested their preference for drum roasted coffee against a comprable air roasted coffee? It sounds to be that those with such strong opinions against air roasting have had little to no experience with it and have always drum roasted...just cause it -was- the accepted method.“
