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

  „It's something of a no-brainer to claim that Kenya and Ethiopia are the world's two most distinctive (in other words, most different-tasting) coffee origins. Most cuppers would find it difficult to confidently identify the country of origin of a high-grown Central American coffee without a little help. ("A little too soft for a Costa Rica & Panama? Or maybe El Salvador .“

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

  „In fact, Yemen and the Harrar region of eastern Ethiopia share a typography (high, semi-arid mountains), a religion (both are predominantly Muslim), and a distinctive and ancient kind of coffee: Coffee grown from very old, traditional cultivars of coffee arabica, dried inside the fruit in the simplest way, and then husked, usually with millstones. These two ancient coffees, owing to their similar processing method and traditional cultivars, form a flavor family often called the Mocha (or Mocca or Moka) taste. (Ethiopia Harrar coffees should be distinguished from the equally celebrated but much different coffees from southern and western Ethiopia -- Yirgacheffe, Sidamo and others -- which are wet-processed by modern, state-of-the-art methods.)“

Ethiopian Coffee

  „Washed coffees of Ethiopia include Ghimbi and Yirgacheffe.  The former is more balanced, heavier, and has a longer lasting body than the Harrars.  The latter are more mild, fruitlike, and aromatic.“

CoffeeGeek - Nespresso Espresso Machines - McKenna Ross's Review

  „The coffee pods have been excellent.  We've tried all 10 blends, as well as some of Nespresso's seasonal offerings, and think they're all wonderful and distinctive.  The color of the pod is related to the darkness of the roast, so a lighter pod means a lighter roast, and vice-versa.“

  „Ethiopia's problems are relatively simple to understand. Because the Ethiopian coffee industry, like many others, depends mainly on the work of small-holding farmers with virtually no access to technology and a limited supporting infrastructure (most Ethiopia farmers literally must carry their coffee to the mill on their heads), production costs are relatively high. And, as we know, prices paid farmers for green coffee are now at an all-time low. Which means that, for Ethiopia, income from the sale of coffee simply does not cover the total cost of production.“
