„We had an unexpected surprise from a Brazilian Organic/FairTrade sample that arrived lately. The cup is subtly fruited with Merlot wineyness, deep and spicy. It's a coffee that, if it had been submitted to the auction committee, definitely would have placed among the winners.“

„Of course, there's also the premium Sumatras, the Triple Pick's and Super-Preps. These are coffees that have gone through extra passes at the hand-sorting tables to remove defective seeds. It's risky because the coffee ends up costing a bit more, and it is possible to "over-prepare" a Sumatra, to "prep" the character right out of the cup. But you can also create a stellar coffee, a butterscotch roast taste, exotic spiced fruit flavors, and the coffee can be roasted lighter than other Sumatras to underscore these qualities.“

„Specialty coffee is where the wine industry was 10-15 years ago., that is to say that, much like wine, coffee consumption is suddenly declining on a per capita basis. In fact, coffee is down roughly half from where it was in the early 60s. We see the same trend in the wine industry, people are drinking less but drinking better.“

„SCAA Conference is April in S.F. As always, I'll be roaming the halls and conference rooms of the year 2000 SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) Conference in San Francisco this April 14-17th. The SCAA is the hub of the coffee world, with more focus on the top 5% of the world coffee production that truly qualifies as specialty. It is fitting to hold it in San Francisco because, despite claims to the contrary, the Bay Area is the true center of specialty coffee in the US.“

„But no sweat. I really do get a great amount of joy and satisfaction out of being able to be a part of giving away a very cool machine or grinder, espresso cups, and other accessories. I win this way. And of course, other people win as well.“
