Tips on Coffee - The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History (#)
„It inspired the Islamic Whirling Dervishes, who slurped the stuff as a prelude to their bouts of religious ecstasy, and is thought to have precipitated the French Revolution, when citizens stormed the Bastille in part to liberate a coffee-deprived Marquis de Sade. To his credit, Allen, who claims he can tell in a sip that the coffee in a particular Ethiopian town is adulterated with smuggled Zairian Robusta beans, wisely avoids the overworked topic of Starbucks and its bid for a global latte empire. Mark Prendergast's social history, Uncommon Grounds (Forecasts, May 17), is more of an omnibus survey of the bean, but Allen's quirky insights more than make up for any scholarly shortcomings. Call it gonzo gastronomy: the work strikes just the right balance between the frenetic praise of a bug-eyed caffeine freak and the informed observations of a true connoisseur.“

BBC - Get Writing - A Forum Conversation
„I think I get it. Quite confusing, especially since in "Allo allo" (the TV series) they use the word cafe the same way as we do (but they're supposed to be French of course, not English )So in the UK a cafe is not a pub, but rather some kind of snack bar or coffee house (I won't use the word cofee shop here, because that indeed has quite a diffrent meaning in the Netherlands ) ?And hi fari. I'm looking forward to see what story it's going to be “

„They will be the first to notice a change in the taste of your coffee, whether you’re exclusively a retail roaster, a wholesale roaster or a little of both. If your once-dynamic French, Italian and espresso roasts have taken on a flat, burnt or baked aftertaste, you probably have a problem with airflow in the cooler.“

CoffeeGeek - Regional: Central and South America, Colombian coffee
„I don't recall seeing Columbian espresso blends and am not sure why. Quality arabica Columbian beans can make for an excellent drip or french press coffee. Perhaps they're used in some espresso blends but the blend names don't hint at the contents? It's typical for espresso blends to contain coffee from a variety of origins, thus allowing the blend to have the right balance of characteristics.“
