The Long Search (#)
„Well interestingly when Champion went bust because he overextended himself in 1769, we have the inventory of what was in this factory and it's entirely for the Africa trade, so it's brass manilas which were sort of bracelets they used as currency, guinea, kettles, guinea pans, and it's full of manilas and guinea--“

Tea & Coffee 04/02 - Finding a Path Through a Historic Maze
„With coffee prices rising, African Robustas began to flow freely into U.S. blends. According to Mark Pendergrast in Uncommon Grounds, “In 1951 Africa had accounted for only 4.8% of U.S. coffee imports; by 1955 the figure had risen to 11.4%.”“

Amazon.com: Gourmet Food: French Roast, Whole Bean
„The French use to have all the coffee in West Africa and were unable to grow the better arabica bean, and had to grow the robusta. It is more acidic and needed to be roasted longer to taste good (Tully's uses only Arabica beans!!)French roast or "freedom roast" for all you losers who hate the French is a darker coffee and is really great with dessert. Try it French pressed.“

„ While coffee can be grown from sea level to c.6,000 ft (1,830 m), and C. robusta is produced at low elevations in West Africa, the better Arabica grades are generally produced above 1,500 ft (460 m). Strong winds limit coffee production; coffee is often grown in the shelter of taller trees. A coffee tree yields its maximum sometime between its fifth and tenth year and may bear fruit for about 30 years.“

„Tamping tool (wood, plastic, cast aluminum or machined stainless steel, brass or aluminum) Tampers come in many shapes and they are made from many different materials. I’ve tried them all and I’m convinced the more massive the tamper the better it does its job. All of my currnet tampers are machined stainless steel and they fit my Rancilio’s filter cup precisely. Reg Barber Enterprises in Canada will make you a stunning custom tamper for about US$50 ppd.“

Tea & Coffee 06/01 - East Africa... Good Coffee, Bad Times
„Part of the global problem is that there is too much coffee in the world and not enough demand for good coffee. In the case of certain East African coffees, however, the coffee was often so good that it created its own demand. It is the return of those coffees for which its producers, and buyers, are fervently hoping.“
