„To briefly review decaffeination methods and their controversies: Most specialty coffees sold in North American are decaffeinated by one of two methods. The "European" method involves 1) steaming the beans to open their pores, 2) exposing them to a solvent (usually methylene chloride, sometimes the fruit derivative ethyl acetate) which selectively unites with the caffeine, and 3) steaming the beans again to remove both solvent and caffeine.The "Swiss Water Process" (carried out in Vancouver, Canada, not Switzerland) involves 1) soaking almost everything out of the beans except the wood, 2) running the flavor-charged water through activated charcoal filters to remove the caffeine, and 3) returning the beans to the water, where they reabsorb the now caffeine-free flavor components.“

„The coffees of central Costa Rica comprise one of those classic origins that is respected but not fawned over. Although Costa Rica produces a variety of coffees, those that reach American specialty coffee menus usually are very high-grown Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffees from regions near the capital of San Jose in the central part of the country: Tarrazu, Herediá, Tres Rios, Volcan Poas. At best Costa Rica coffees from these regions are distinctive in a way that defies simple, romantic description. When good they are clean, balanced, and resonantly powerful.“

„After-Dinner Roast, Espresso Roast, Continental Roast, and European Roast. Terms for coffee brought to degrees of roast ranging from somewhat darker than the traditional American norm to dark brown. Acidity diminishes and a rich bitter-sweetness emerges. Among many newer American specialty roasters, roast styles once called by these names may in fact constitute the typical, "regular" roast of coffee. “

„But according to Ted Lingle, executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), the drink has just as much potential to become an American classic. He says the Coffee Development Group launched the first iced cappuccino during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The drink received a huge response from both local and international visitors.“
