This Guy Knows His Beans (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„The coffee harvested from the Kagumo plantation in 1997 carried an extraordinary amount of "brightness," making it a very hot and expensive commodity. Experts speculated that the desirable "brightness" was a reflection of the phosphoric acid content of the beans. Griffin realized the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the science of the subject, and decided to initiate his own experiments on the Kagumo bean's phosphate levels. He proposed the study to his academic advisor, David Blauch, associate professor of chemistry, and conducted it in Blauch's class, and as part of an honors thesis research class.“

Arabica, The Coffee Lover's Choice (INeedCoffee.com)
„Those within the industry would, if asked, never dispute the fact that beans from the Arabica plant make for a better cup of coffee. Simple industry statistics show that 80% of all commercially produced coffees are created from arabica beans alone. That sounds pretty good, but then did you know that only 10% of those beans are good enough for specialty coffees? That means that 90% of arabica beans are not considered good enough for specialty coffee.“

Cupping: The Elements of Quality Coffee (INeedCoffee.com)
„Different beans have different qualities and differing palates will discriminate! The purpose of this piece is to open the eyes of home coffee drinkers in a few categories: an understanding of what happens in the cup when a bean is processed differently the importance behind the age of a coffee and cupping in the home and in the roastery Claims Anyone reading whom adamantly follows the coffee-based newsgroups, such as alt.coffee and rec.food.drink.coffee may be familiar with the running threads involving the Mexican coffee "Capulin." As touted by it's sales staff of one, the Capulin coffee is a naturally processed (dry-processed as I will discuss below) and manually harvested bean. Because of it's method of processing and the care given to it's harvesting, Capulin claims that it is perhaps the best coffee one will ever taste. It's a claim that is difficult to live up to in this day and age of gourmet-this and specialty-that.“

„“A” try was enough to realize that this streetside vendor type of arrangement does not hold much hope. But, what can you make of it when coffee shops (even the place where I buy my quality beans) also give you a version of espresso whose crema is about a half millimeter deep? I have tried telling them to go light on the water, but still get long (or even very long) espresso that is incapable of leaving a filmy stain on the cup when I’m done drinking. Many of these coffee shops are manned by 16-year-old kids.“
