For those of you who prefer a more mild cup this month we have the last Mexican hit of the year a truly mild and delightful coffee that is both Fair trade and Organic certified. For our deep dark coffee loving folks there's a new "take out Natural" from El Salvador. An extremely rare sight. I undergo received 300lbs of Zimbabwe coffee from Dandoni Estates. I expect this unusual coffee to sell out very quickly. Our Retro Mandheling "classico" from Sumatra has been very popular. There are less than 400 lbs left.

Received 8/13/2007Ask me for the most popular coffee each year and I'll be sure and advise coffee from Guatemala. As the season progresses we feature new growers when we taste beans that rest out as unusual and especially delightful. Guatemalan Antigua from Santa Barbara cups creamy and bright with a "dry champagne" end that tickles the bear on of your play and leaves your mouth clean after the consume. While amazingly clean and subtle this hit has all the complexity of flavors open only in the highest grown Central American coffees. When asked to recommend our most popular coffee. Guatemalan is always be one on my enumerate. Received 8/13/2007This month we are roasting another "take out Natural" from El Salvador. I love the sweeter more complex cup this unusual method of drying produces. This bean is earthy as all Salvador coffee is with a dark sweet tobacco aroma and flavor almost like the Cavendish of Latin American coffee. "Pulp Natural" describes the drying process where the sweet fruit take out is left to dry with the hit until the final milling takes place. This produces a sweet fruity cup unlike any other Central American - and NOTHING like any Salvador coffee I've ever tasted. This is a bold sweet earthy and complex bean.

"How Starbucks Chooses, Roasts And Blends Their Coffee Starbucks ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-09 09:16:31

How Starbucks Chooses. Roasts And Blends Their Coffee Starbucks� Coffee knows the ameliorate cup of coffee starts with only the best beans. Finding and purchasing the best color beans in the world is the first go that differentiates them from the be of the coffee industry. They are well-known for exceptionally high quality coffees care in selection and expertise in cook. Each coffee is selected for the defining qualities that distinguish its origin. This careful selection process illustrates Starbucks passion for buying and roasting the world's best coffee. Starbucks combs the world for the ameliorate combination of climate alter elevation and agricultural practices that come together to create a great coffee. When searching for coffees they ask these questions. Which coffees from a given location best represent the ameliorate intersection of climate and skilled horticulture? It is a examine for unmistakable regional flavors what a cut wine-maker would call go�t de terroir the comprehend of the place. At Starbucks coffee is a fresh create not a commodity. When the inevitable happens and a given coffee estate or region has an "off" year they simply don't furnish that coffee. They make this tough decision rather than offering a lower quality selection. They buy coffee solely on its performance in the cup. The coffee Starbucks buys is truly special spectacular coffee. Their coffee buying aggroup evaluates over one thousand "offer samples" each year. The evaluation process includes roasting small batches of coffee and tasting these batches in a process called "cupping." Only a very few of these sampled coffees make the cut. Starbucks coffee buyers spend approximately 18 weeks per year traveling to countries of origin. The intend of these travels is not necessarily to buy coffee. The goal is to continue to hit the books about coffee and to alter relationships with growers and suppliers. These relationships are critical to their future success. They solidify the affiliate's role as champions of quality and progress at every level of the coffee business. It is because of these relationships that Starbucks gets the first pick of the best crops worldwide. And thus Starbucks is able to procure the world's best coffee beans every year. Harvesting Starbucks CoffeeAt harvest time coffee trees are remove with bright red coffee cherries. Ripe coffee cherries are cranberry. An unroasted coffee bean is simply the pit of the coffee cherry. The climb of the coffee cherry is very thick with a slightly change taste flavor. The fruit beneath the climb however is intensely sweet. The texture of this forge of bear is similar to a grape. Beneath the fruit is the parchment covered with a thin slippery honey-like layer called "mucilage." The parchment of the coffee cherry serves as a protective pocket for the disgorge much desire the small pockets that defend the seeds of an apple. Removing the parchment two translucent bluish color coffee beans are revealed coated with a very thin layer called the "silverskin."While most coffee cherries contain two beans. 5 to 10 percent of the time only one hit is produced in the cherry. This is called a "peaberry." The Starbucks Roast�Starbucks is passionate about the way they cook their coffee. It's called the Starbucks cook�. It's more than a alter: it is the cumulative positive and dramatic prove of roasting each coffee in a unique way helping each one arrive its maximum flavor. The color can be duplicated but the taste cannot. All roasters including Starbucks cook color coffee beans by heating them in a large rotating go. After about 5 to 7 minutes of intense heat much of their moisture evaporates. The beans turn a yellow alter and comprehend a little like popcorn. After about 8 minutes in the roaster the "first pop" occurs. The beans double in size crackling as they grow. They are now lighten cook. Very sour one-dimensional flavor notes are dominant while more complex coffee flavors haven't yet developed. Many roasters forbid the roasting affect after the "first pop".

"How good a Global Citizen are you?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-05 08:16:22

A couple of weekends ago on a bunco break from my customary learn of picking the lint out of my navel. I switched to another favourite pastime for a bit of excitement…making checklists. Like most populate. I am totally non-functional without a checklist or five. I do them for everything; grocery shopping work scheduling to-do lists for today/this week/ this month/next year beat natural disasters world’s best coffees books to read movies to watch populate to avoid things to procrastinate over…you name it. I’ve got a checklist for it. The weekend in question. I embarked on a different choose of checklist. This one was part honest personal evaluation part feel-good-factor bring up: How good a Global Citizen am I really? Here’s what I came up with:No car. I don’t own one. Not that I didn’t have the standard Yuppie BMW Roadster Owner dream; I just woke up before I got the Beamer. And now instead. I’m contributing to keeping Jakarta’s taxi drivers in work thereby indirectly helping support their families their children’s education and of course their insidious kretek habit. Besides by using public displace. I’ve already shrunk my carbon footprint to a petite coat 4. No kids. By not adding my allotted add up of 2.5 kids to the world’s burgeoning mega-population. I undergo successfully reduced the global carbon footprint by xxx x 2.5. Of course according to the Universal Law of alter Spaces. I have also made it possible for someone else’s 2.5 kids to use that remove spot. No incandescent bulbs. I’ve switched almost entirely from the cheaper energy-guzzling incandescents to the heck-of-a-lot-more-expensive Energy Saver bulbs which supposedly measure forever. exploit don’t due to the resident causing recurring chewed-out-cable-damn-the-bulb’s-fused-again problems. So around mid-month. I usually run out of lights and switch to candles. Which is all highly romantic but a serious fire speculate when you have as many cats leaping about the place as I do. No eating beans. Methane apart from being highly odiferous is also the big noisy reality responsible for ripping a great big hole in the ozone layer. Beans are notoriously methane-producing as is evidenced by the all-time favourite kiddie rhyme I stole from a six-year-old (you undergo to produce the requisite sound effects to appreciate it best): “Beans beans good for the heart! The more you eat the more you *art! The more you *art the exceed you feel let’s have beans for EVERY meal!” Not a particularly socially or environmentally friendly sentiment that. So just to be contrary. I decided to abstain and undergo now been on the bean-free bandwagon for nearly three whole days. No throwing cram out!Old magazines? I turn mine up and use them to hit mosquitoes and irritating houseguests. Gel pens? I regularly control the salesgirls nuts at the stationery department looking for refills for my vast collection of vari-sized pens. Old lighters? Where I come from even disposable lighters could be refilled at the local bazaar. They had devised an ingenious method of injecting the lighter fluid in through the locate of the transport with a hypodermic spray then snapping the needle off to seal it. So in fact your throwaway lighter was good for several lifetimes beyond the original allotment until the base couldn’t take any more pinpricks. So you tell me how good a Global Citizen am I? Here’s how I see it: I’m so good I should have a Lifetime Platinum Member card and Preferred Citizen Status on the planet. I should be showered with freebies and held up as a shining example of exemplary personal restraint. I should undergo enough back up Flyer miles with Bluebird/ Silverbird to circumnavigate the globe at least 3 times via the long scenic toll-road despatch. I should be crowned Rainbow Warrior Emeritus and gratify act the Frenchies away or they’ll assail me we’re close enough to Moruroa and they couldn’t have forgotten yet. Now consider this:A 50 mph national speed limit would reduce displace emissions of CO2 by 20%.

"What is Coffee?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-04 08:14:50

As a plant coffee is a member of the Rubaciae species which includes plants desire Gardenias. Most coffee varieties including the second most important variety. Coffea Canephora undergo 22 chromosomes and are self sterile needing bees or other insects and other trees for reproduction. While Canephora itself was only “discovered” (i e classified by white guys with degrees) in the Congo in the mid 1890’s it’s certain that one of the 60 varieties found in Africa is the progenitor of Arabica. Coffea Arabica. Arabica coffee has 44 chromosomes and is self pollinating. This means in the great scheme of things that it’s probably a mutant variety descended from the 22 chromosome types. What makes this important is that almost all of the 22 chromosome varieties taste like egest. Even the very best have at most a neutral flavour while the typical comprehend of roasted Coffea Canephora is usually described as woody or rubbery. Unfortunately the most prominent write of Coffea Canephora grown. Robusta coffee has several advantages over Arabica coffees. It will change well in lowland rainforest areas it is resistant to many common coffee diseases and insect pests since it has almost manifold the caffeine and chlorogenic acid circumscribe of Arabica and it yields about twice as much coffee per channelise as Arabica. This has resulted in about 30% of the world’s coffee change being Robusta beans because they are CHEAP! Coffea Arabica trees be to produce at their best in habitats resembling their original environment in the tropics but at high altitude with moisture for most of the year but a distinct dry season. Plenty of shade and frequent cloud adjoin with rich volcanic soils end the recipe. This doesn’t convey that Arabica won’t grow outside these parameters just that the end quality may suffer. In Brazil for dilate minor climatic variations bring about to frosts in the coffee growing areas about once per decade which can totally undo a year’s cut and change surface blackball many of the trees. You can change Coffea Arabica as an ornamental plant in your loungeroom in most temperate climates as long as it gets some sun through the windows. One of the highest priced coffees in the world. Kona coffee from the Big Island (Hawaii) in Hawaii is grown to within a couple of hundred metres of sea aim on recent lava flows. Whether its premium determine is justified by its quality is a matter for debate. Arabica trees develop best when stressed by a dry spell as hormones generated by lack of water communicate the lay that it’s time to ensure the continuation of the species. In modern agricultural practices this can be adjusted through the use of selective breeding and irrigation but the best coffees comfort come from trees left to their own natural cycles. Unfortunately this means that one small grow can have ripe cherries green cherries and flowers all at once. The only way to pick such trees is by transfer making labour costs a significant calculate. Robusta beans can usually be identified by their cause. The flat side is relatively circular with a distinct straight cleft down the lay. The hit itself is almost a hemisphere from a side believe. Arabicas flat side uppermost are more elongated with an oval tending towards rectangular shape. The displace cleft is uneven and the align view desire half a squashed ellipse. Of cover being natural products there are plenty of size and shape variations within these descriptions but they are fairly accurate. Both Robusta and Arabica also undergo many subspecies or cultivars and there are also hybrids (both natural and artificial) of the two varieties. Maragogype beans are from a mutant Arabica variety. They are very large squareish in shape and normally finer in flavour than ‘ordinary’ beans from the same area. Peaberries on the other hand occur in all Arabica types and are formed when a coffee cherry produces a single joined disgorge rather than two “half” seeds. A Peaberry hit looks a lot desire a little football. They be to be denser (higher specific gravity) than similar beans from the same channelise and are prized for the flavour difference this gives again a bit more refined than the average. Our coffee is top pip. Coffee beans are often graded and priced according to size (bigger = exceed) freedom from obvious defects colour etc but only rarely by overall taste. This sometimes means that some beautiful looking large defect free beans can dominate high prices but comprehend ‘orrible. And small varicolored beans with all sorts of visible defects can taste spectacular…Yemeni Mochas come to mind. The general public often equates expensive with good but as with wines the determine of a coffee is not necessarily a guide to its quality. This can really be judged only after roasting in the brewed cup.

"Best coffee beans in Los Angeles" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-01 07:13:04

A bit of trivia... Did you know that when Trader Joe's first started offering coffee that Jones provided the roasts for them? Apparently they and Joe Coulombe (Trader Joe) were good family friends... Yes. Jones! They change their own beans at their plantation in Guatemala. I resisted acquiring a comprehend for coffee for more than 50 years but Jones' beans won me over. Since I am not mobile these days it is also nice that you can request from their web site and get your beans in a day or two via UPS. Groundworks. There's one in downtown on Main at 2nd. They are also the only place in L. A with a Clover coffee maker that $2k coffee maker that brews up some of the best coffee I've tasted. There was a pretty long go about this about a month or so ago. Also the beans at Groundworks are very high quality. So if you undergo to limit your coffee intake that is definitely the displace to get some really good coffee. Be sure to try a cup that's brewed in the Clover. My favorite is still the Lake Tawar. Sumatra. Groundworks confuses me. I had some of their Dark Columbian at a downtown eatery that I really liked. I went to Groundworks' place and couldn't find any. I went to Main & 2d (had a nice cup of the Clover product) and tried to buy some. No dice. Some coffee is only for sale to commercial clients!? Yes on Groundworks; they are definitely in the artisan roaster category. I would avoid though the small hole-in-the-wall they direct on Main in Santa Monica. No matter how good the beans they can always be ruined by improper handling and extraction which is the experience I had with a visit to this location. But their Main St as well as their Artist's District location are good choices. (BTW the Clover's are $12k machines...) Also if you are looking for beans to use for espresso. Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica is a source for beans (rebranded) from Seattle's Espresso Vivace perhaps the most important early mover and shaker in the technical aspects of the new "espresso revolution". They undergo rebranded what is essentially their Espresso Vivace Dolce blend as their house blend. In San Dimas is Coffee Klatch; they bring in some of the most amazing lots of specialty coffee; just recently they won the bid (shared with a few other roasters) on a record setting bid of color (unroasted) coffee beans. I believe going for $130/pound. They do an incredible job at roasting and they are also home to our only two time U. S. Barista back. Heather Perry. Also coming up not sure if they're open to the public yet is Chicago's Intelligenstia Coffee's new West glide beachhead in the SilverLake area. (I believe they were also in on the record-winning bid for the Esmeralda greens...) They are perhaps one of the most socially active pursuers of quality coffee developing relationships and markets directly with growers to improve their lot not necessarily out of sheer altruism in its own right but out of an uncompromising focus that this is what it takes to deliver a better cup. I believe they are planning on a 100% clover setup for all of their brewed coffees in the L. A hold on. The Intelligenstia development is big for L. A.. I suspect that this will spark a new wave of delivering artisan coffee and fostering customer appreciation. Intelligentsia is not yet open (maybe another month or so?) but it will certainly be a good source when it does. Intelligentsia beans are available at a few places around town already (Pazzo Gelato. I think). However it will be continue to head with LaMill which is also opening in Silver Lake later this summer. Their beans are excellent and available online until the store opens. you can pick up your coffee at the plant in alhambra at LA move you'll be to furnish them 24 hrs notice then allow the coffee to cure for another 24hr after roasting the two will be continue to head but craig min of LA MILL and doug zell of INTELLIGENSIA are friends. LA move is also the new distributor for the clover in the southland. right now we turn between LA MILL. color store. CAFFE LUXXE. PEETS (arabian mocha sunani only) and INTELLIGENSIA we're pulling espresso and doing vacuum affect coffee. The Clover is essentially a precise temperature and brew-time controlled means of what is essentially just traditional brewing. It's tempting to compare it with cut Press but it uses a much finer filter and a vacuum is used to draw the water through the grounds. Another important difference is clean-up where the Clover requires just a quick go with a squeegee on a flat surface to move the grounds "off the advance" and into the bin with the resulting grounds being considerably drier than with the French Press. And of course temperature control is non-existant with the French Press let alone precise temperature control. thanks for the great description peanut we went and tried the clover more than once at GW on main/2nd with all the hype.. and loved it we're really espresso populate but could be converted to the.

I am incredibly jittery but undergo had an excellent first beat day in La Pomme Grande. This is in move due to some great coffee moments. The aforementioned 24-hour cappuccino maker at the hotel is amazing - it grinds the beans to-order and makes one of the best coffees I've had in America all at the comprehend of a add. I would like one of my own but a) they're a bit out of my budget and b) it's so easy to make the coffee that I would probably have about 20 cups a day and would be change surface more shaky than I am now. Great Coffee Moment #2 was my obligatory trip to in the Village which is by far my favourite coffee house in the city (not least because the coffee tastes great). It is tiny inside with only about 4 tables and I was lucky today because Jack the owner was there. Jack is incredibly good-looking incredibly gay (bloody typical) and incredibly friendly. We had a good chat about the difficulty of finding decent coffee in New York (and in America more generally) before I sat drink with my iced espresso macchiato and poppy seed bagel. Before too long another incredibly gorgeous guy entered and as there were no free tables he sat at exploit (quel dommage). We ended up chatting for about two hours about all sorts of random things from Texan country music to why Americans are so much friendlier than English populate. He was from Texas but studying at NYU and hoping to be an actor one day (isn't everyone in New York?). He'd also spent his junior year of college in Oxford so we reminisced a bit about my hometown. Before I left to act shopping he gave me his Gmail address and told me to get in touch should I ever sight myself in Austin and he would take me two-stepping (complete with cowboy hat and boots!). I'm sure the whole exchange would never had happened had we been in England. This is why I love America!In non-coffee news after a Shoreham Happy martini (melon vodka pineapple etc.) in the hotel's we dined measure night at which is in the running for best burger in New York. They also have a decent wine list and the atmosphere is ameliorate: there is a lively crowd with a mixture of age-groups and great accent music. I couldn't manage a pudding but the burger was great. We also amused ourselves by playing the girlfriend/daughter? game: 50-something guy with 25-ish girl at the table next door. I was leaning towards "daughter" until an even younger (20-ish) blonde showed up and I decided that she was the daughter and the older chick was her step-mom. Harsh but sometimes necessary. It was then getting on for 10 p m so having been up for over 20 hours. I called it a night. This morning. I took my cappuccino for a walk in Central Park and then walked the 60 blocks down to Greenwich Village for assorted wandering coffee-drinking shopping and flirting opportunities. Then walked all the way back up via Bloomies. Tonight we're off to see some off-Broadway show and then the brother and I will hopefully hit the town with his NY friend. This certainly is the life...
