Tea & Coffee 02/00 - Coffee Quality (cont.) (#)
„Other companies like Adam’s Organics, Taylor Maid Organics and Beantrees Café, among numerous other “organic-only” companies, have built their definition of quality around taste together with the environmental responsibility of organic production. Companies like Thanksgiving Coffee and Equal Exchange have created an image of quality based on taste in conjunction with social justice issues. Their success has been based on making quality coffees “with a conscience” more accessible to consumers, and then educating consumers about these issues - a recipe that has also proven successful in the European market for more than a decade.“

„For best results for filter/drip, use a cone-shaped filter and a reusable mesh insert. * For great taste with less cafeine buy arabica coffee. It's slightly more expensive, but contains less caffeine than blends that combine arabica and robusta beans. * Roasted coffee beans start to lose some of their flavor within two weeks.“

„The Dutch, of course, have an intimate connection with the bean as they were the first to actually grow the plant on European soil (see Fertile Grounds). And Dutch traders were quick to exploit the potential of the black brew, setting up the earliest coffee plantations and using the proceeds to fuel themselves as well as their nascent stock market. But even though Amsterdam, along with London, was one of the twin centres of the early worldwide coffee network, consumption at home was generally the quick and bitter fix that became the standard fare for caffeine starved workers. Of course there were specialty shops like Geels>> that served the more sophisticated tastes but, in the main, coffee in cafés was seen as simply a chaser for alcoholic stuff flavoured with hops or juniper.“
