The Coffees of Peru (#)
„Or do we want the cup in front of us to have the best cup quality possible? It is quality, not quantity, that is at the heart of Specialty Coffee, or else we would all opt for a cup of Folgers. So buying Peruvian coffees is a risk, and you have to cup a lot of samples that have serious cup defects before finding the truly special Specialty cups. This year the new crop lots have been mediocre.“

„ Although not an optimist by nature, I left with the hope that a line had finally been drawn in the sand between the 10 percent of the market that is specialty and the other 90 percent that remains undrinkable swill camouflaged by slick marketing. To be worthy of their name in today's marketplace, specialty coffee roasters must buy quality coffee and commit to sustaining its production by paying prices that always exceed the cost of production. In return, they can expect coffee that is utterly delicious and sustainably harvested.“

„A cup of coffee is one of life's little pleasures and many people now opt for a latte or a cappuccino instead of a plain filter coffee because shops offering these are now so widespread. The milk content of latte and cappuccino can provide you with much needed calcium - but might also add as many as 570 calories to your daily intake, warn doctors at the Mayo Clinic.“

„As the specialty coffee industry evolves, I notice that more and more emphasis is put on single-origin coffees. Whereas 10 years ago specialty coffee was largely thought of by the general buying public as hazelnut flavored beans grown in some undisclosed location or Uncle Zany's Midnight Blend, consumers now shop more actively for coffee by origin. As a production roaster this translates to higher definition of your craft. What decent carpenter doesn't know the qualities of the wood with which he is working?“
