Tea & Coffee 02/00 - Coffee Quality (#)
„One can imagine that in Islamic times, the meaning of quality coffee might have meant roasted beans, ground and brewed with spices, and that in colonial times, quality may have meant simply that the beverage was served. Through most of the 1900’s consumers learned to drink ground coffee from a red or blue can. But with the advent of the specialty coffee market in the 1980’s, the definition of quality grew to include new origins and flavor profiles. Now, as we enter the 21st Century, consumers are demanding a more compassionate kind of quality, in conjunction with the great tasting specialty beverage they have come to appreciate.“

„By the end of the eighteenth century, that empire's most profitable export was a little bean, which the Dutch had begun to grow in Java in 1696. When brewed this bean produced an exhilarating beverage that the Dutch called koffie-a word passed on to the Malay and Indonesian languages as kopi.“

„ 6:00 a.m.—Choy grinds beans for the two French presses she uses to brew her coffee, a practice her wholesale supplier strongly recommends. She fills two airpots with the brewed coffee, one decaf and one full-strength. The process requires at least four pressings to fill the airpots.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Of course, most of these studies do not take into account how the coffee is brewed, how fresh the beans, and so on. Perhaps as these studies are refined we may discover, for example, that drinking coffee that has been freshly roasted and brewed is more beneficial than downing coffee that is terminally stale or badly brewed. Certainly there is considerably more going on chemically in fresh coffee than in stale. And we may learn how much beneficial effects of coffee drinking are provoked by caffeine and how much by other, less understood, chemical components of coffee.“

„But so far, Starbucks has agreed to offer Fair Trade Certified coffee in whole bean form only: it will be available in take-home bags, but not brewed in the cafes. As soon as the beans are on Starbucks' shelves, however, we will be pressuring the company to offer Fair Trade Certified coffee in brewed, in-store drinks. We will also continue encouraging Starbucks to sell Fair Trade coffee on campuses and to increase their purchases generally.“
