„In addition to the refined Illy Medium Roast, the other champions of the roast-and-ground category are well-established on supermarket shelves. The Yuban 100% Colombian is, as always, a fine, consistent canned coffee that offers a sturdy, versatile version of the classic American breakfast cup. And the MJB Hawaiian Blend is a continuing coffee miracle: A canned coffee so aromatic and complexly fragrant that, on the cupping table, I invariably mistake it for a fine whole-bean specialty blend.What the Illy Caffe Medium Roast, Yuban 100% Colombian and MJB Hawaiian Blend demonstrate is that there is no technical impediment to delivering a good, even fine, coffee in a roast-and-ground, canned format. The real impediment is a mutually reinforcing alliance of nickle-and-diming, cost-rationalizing commercial roasting companies and palate-dead consumers who have been fed grainy, cloying robustas for so long that theyve forgotten what coffee tastes like.“

„The target for roasting success is much narrower than with medium or moderately dark roasts. Plus, roasters need to be very disciplined about roast color, and gauge it either by cupping or by machine reading with an Agtron color reader. It is very, very difficult for the human eye to distinguish between beans brought to an M-Basic Agtron reading of 30 and those brought to a 18, even though the difference in how the two taste will be dramatic. Done right, the 30 has the potential to be roasty tasting but full-bodied, sweet and complex, whereas the 18 will end up a bit thin in body and anonymously burned in flavor no matter how well the roast is managed.“

„In order to prepare the coffee for testing, a small machine to roast the beans, another to measure the degree of roasting, a grinder and a boiler are all employed. The method most frequently used for tasting involves making an infusion by leaving approximately 10 grams of ground coffee in 150 cc of boiling water for about ten minutes.“

Tea & Coffee 03/04 - American Espresso: The State of the Rage
„A handful of high-quality, direct-from-Italy import espresso blends, exemplified by Illycaffe’s (www.illy.com ) 1980s introduction to the U.S., lead an invasive wave of lackluster Italian espresso products into the North American market. Some of Italy’s very best roasters of exquisite coffee are all but unknown here, as is Caffe Corsini (www.caffecorsini.it ). Most of the Italian imports we see are blended with filler Arabica and Robusta coffees.“

„I suspect the roasters chose this slightly darker roast style to mute or round out the powerful acidity of these coffees. The remaining four coffees were brought to a considerably darker roast, a style that many stores might call espresso or French, but which apparently represents the normal roast style for these coffees when you buy them at New York's Oren's Daily Roast or Seattle's Caravali.“
