  „The "extra dinero" from Fairtrade coffee is first and foremost to ensure that the farmers receive a decent wage for their labour. Hopefully the fact that they can envisage a future in growing coffee (rather than subsisting until they turn to other pursuits) will encourage them to invest in efficient, sustainable methods of production.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „Peaberries (also caracol or caracolillo, "little snail" in Spanish) result when the coffee fruit develops a single oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. A half-hearted, vestigial crevice meanders down one side of the little egg-shaped beans. Botanists observe that peaberries develop when only one of two ovaries in the flower are pollinated or accept pollination, thus producing one seed rather than two - an only child, as it were, in a species in which twins are the norm. Since Arabica coffee is self-pollinating (the same flower can impregnate itself) excessive peaberry production is a sign of general infertility of the plant.“

Tips on Coffee - Overview of Coffee Grinders

  „The coffee to be ground was just placed in the bottom of a bowl, and the blunt end of a stick was used to ground the coffee along the bowl's bottom and side. Nowadays we rather us a more mechanical way to ground our coffee. The mortar and the pestle have left their placec to the mechanical moving disc and created a new term we carry into the present, the grinding force we know as milling. So milling becomes very efficient and common with the use of electrical motors.“
