Tea & Coffee 12/00 - World News (#)

  „The patent-pending roasting process significantly increases the extractability of polyphenols when coffee is brewed. Polyphenols are antioxidants that naturally exist in coffee beans and tea leaves. According to cancer research, an increase in polyphenol intake results in a decreased incidence of all cancers. These antioxidants also protect against cardiovascular disease, immune dysfunction, inflammatory diseases and other degenerative diseases.“

The First Cup of Coffee

  „The first cup of coffee was made from the leaves of the coffee plant.  It was only later the idea of using the beans was introduced (probably by the Sufis).  The first coffee brewed from beans (which were not roasted) tasted very bitter.“

Tea & Coffee 06/04 - Coffee as Health Food?

  „Probably the best kept secret about coffee is that it delivers more antioxidants than even the latest antioxidant bellwether, green tea. Green coffee beans contain about 1,000 antioxidants, and the brewing process adds 300 more. The roasting process, by the way, creates its own set of healthful compounds which, like some antioxidants, are unique to coffee alone.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „   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.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea

  „Packages of frozen coffee should be opened as infrequently as possible. Whole beans will keep up to four weeks, but ground coffee should be brewed within a week or two. Buying small amounts frequently and grinding your own beans is the best way to enjoy fresh coffee.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea

  „At a Peet's store, you get a cup of coffee brewed from coffee beans that are fresh-roasted, ground just before brewing and brewed at the right temperature with the correct amount of clean, filtered water. That's why it smells so good, and has a complex, mouth-filling aftertaste.“
