Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)
„In the early 90s, I began to import coffee and investigate and study American and Italian preparation techniques. What I discovered was the coffee beans in the U.S. were often of good quality. Young Seattle roasters such as Torrefazione and Caffé d'arte (then Caffé Mauro) were not overroasting the beans for flavor but were using age-old Italian techniques and blending to achieve the proper taste.“

„ If what the customer really wants is an iced Americano—the Italian name for the longer style coffees preferred by American tourists—she prepares the drink by pulling the shots into a glass of cold water. Johns also advocates this method, because it keeps the flavor of the espresso intact without exposing it to ice.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Your choice will be complicated because different blends of raw beans respond differently to the impact of the roast. Espresso blends in the classic northern Italian style, like the famous Illy Caffe, combine coffees from Brazil that are naturally sweet, low-acid, and full-bodied. These Brazil beans need only a moderately dark roast to muffle their already mild acidity and develop their inherent sweetness. On the other hand, many West-Coast American espresso blends are heavy with powerful, high-grown, brightly acidy beans from Central America that literally need to be tamed by a roast dark sufficiently to mute their powerful acidity.“

CoffeeGeek - Regional: Eastern Canada, Well-Priced Lavazza in Toronto
„As I am starting in the espresso world, I am looking to find a good local source for great Italian coffee beans that are well-priced for what you are getting. Having tasted and liked Lavazza coffees (Top Class and Pienaroma) I am particularly interested in finding a source for them. I know that Milano's in Montreal sells them for about 20 - 25 per kilo, but I was wondering if anybody knows any Toronto sources like this. Any other local suggestions to try would be great.“

„The relationship started in 1996, when the renowned American artist created the colorful Italian Riviera Cups for the illy collection and designed the new corporate logo. When asked to once again put his vision on illy porcelain, this time to launch the new form, Rosenquist answered with the bold designs, including beautiful coffee flowers and beans that envelop the first ever illy mug collection.“
