Tea & Coffee 03/04 - American Espresso: The State of the Rage (#)
„It took a specialty coffee revolution, and some very ingenious recipes and marketing to break through with a new way to think about that old American standard cup of coffee. The North American espresso cup today is not perfect every time, but it is good enough at its best to rival the world’s best, and it is produced by innovative forward-thinking entrepreneurs that have some significant triumphs under their belt. American espresso is an illustration of the will and the skill of America’s specialty coffee community.“

„Louis in 1904. But according to Ted Lingle, executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), the drink has just as much potential to become an American classic.

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„The coffees of central Costa Rica comprise one of those classic origins that is respected but not fawned over. Although Costa Rica produces a variety of coffees, those that reach American specialty coffee menus usually are very high-grown Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffees from regions near the capital of San Jose in the central part of the country: Tarrazu, Herediá, Tres Rios, Volcan Poas.

Tea & Coffee 12/04 - Gourmet Robustas: The Awakening of Specialty Coffees
„The concept of “gourmet coffees”, it is commonly admitted, was born around 1985. At that time the American public considered coffee to be a generic, homogenous commodity - a dark brew to be consumed at breakfast, with meals or in offices, out of habit more than to satisfy one’s tastebuds. If one wanted a different taste, cream and sugar were the regular condiments, and no particular pleasure was expected. Just the way you brushed your teeth in the morning, you drank coffee several times a day.“
