The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)
„As you gauge the flow of coffee keep in mind that it will continue to run into the cup or receptacle for a moment or two after you have turned off the pump or shut off the coffee valve.If you use a pump or piston machine, brewing into a jigger, or bartender's shot glass, is a simple way of making certain that you do not produce overlong, bitter-tasting shots when you are brewing for frothed milk drinks. For a classic 1 1/4-ounce serving, brew the shot, including crema, up to the line on the glass.If your brewer does not have a mechanism for cutting off the flow of the coffee, you will need to improvise. If the design of the machine permits, use two separate coffee-collecting receptacles, one to catch the first rich dribbles, which you will drink, and a second to catch the pale remainder, which you will throw away. Whatever you do, don't spoil the first bloom of coffee by mixing it with the pale, bitter dregs.“

„I was personally relieved to discover that the sequence of my preferences matched the preferences of the international jury that selected the Cup of Excellence winners. True, my ratings numerically were about three or four points higher than the international jury ratings, but this can be explained in a number of ways, ranging from Ken Is Too Easy to the fact that I am cupping these coffees in slightly darker, more fully developed production roasts than the lighter "cupping" roast used for international cupping competitions. In the case of the Vargem Grande, a competition coffee offered by two different roasters, the difference in my ratings between the two versions directly relates to roast style. This delicate coffee seemed to fare much better in the medium roast offered by Mr.“
