Coffee, Coffee, Coffee


Peter J. Wilson Food Beverage/Coffee 2007-01-31

We all need that jolt of caffeine that you get from a good cup of coffee in the morning. But many times, during the day, the urge for a nice cup of tasty coffee hits, and of course we frequently like a relaxing cup after dinner. Some people can't drink coffee at night because the caffeine keeps them awake, and for others it is worth having, even if they are going to be tossing and turning and staring at the clock. I am sensitive to caffeine, so even a can of soda after a certain time of night will have me counting sheep. The only solution for me and others like me is to make sure we have decaffeinated coffee in the kitchen. The coffee urge can be satisfied by putting decaf in that old coffee maker, without paying the price of a sleepless night.

If I find I am out of decaf coffee, there is always the local Dunkin Donuts. A quick stop at the local Dunkin Donuts yields a cup of coffee that is every bit as good as caffeinated, but doesn't have the same effect on the body's system. A nice change of pace on a hot summer evening is iced coffee, but if, like me, you will be bothered by the caffeine, you can get decaffeinated iced coffee.

Where does the caffeine come from. Caffeine occurs naturally in the coffee bean, and it takes a special water extracting system to remove the caffeine from the molecule. It is an exacting science, with each coffee manufacturer claiming to have their unique, and best system for creating decaffeinated coffee. I don't really care how it comes about, as long as I can enjoy my delicious cup of Java without the sleepless side effects of regular coffee.

There is little to no difference between the taste of regular and decaffeinated coffee. As a matter of fact, since I can't tell the difference, I am always concerned that I will get a cup of regular even though I have ordered decaf; since I can't taste the difference, I won't know until it is too late. That's one reason I prefer to keep my own decaffeinated coffee at home and not have to worry about somebody making such a mistake. I can't risk my much needed sleep. The opposite can also happen, that I order (and need) a strong cup of caffeinated coffee and end up with decaf because the counter girl was just as sleepy as I was. There's a real bummer, pay $4-$5 for a cup of coffee and not even get the jolt I need to start the day! Well, caffeinated or decaf, I need my coffee.

Coffee Roasting


Bradley Thornton Food Beverage/Food Beverage 2007-06-14
View Detail

Coffee beans are roasted to bring about the right balance between the acidity and sweetness of the beans. In other words, the process of roasting the coffee beans brings out their inner characteristics and flavor. The level to which a coffee is roasted pretty much decides how the coffee will taste upon brewing. For instance, coffee beans that undergo light roasting usually have a light bodied and sweet tasting brew; whereas, a full bodied coffee with a chocolaty flavor is dark roasted.

Roasting coffee beans effects certain physical and chemical changes in the beans. These changes include the loss of moisture, caramelizing, change of color and expansion of the coffee beans. As the beans start to lose moisture and expand, they make a popping sound, which is termed as a crack in the coffee industry.

There are three basic levels of roasting as far as coffee beans are concerned. The Light Roast as mentioned before is used to derive a milder coffee, often sweet tasting. Then comes the Medium Roast that is the most commonly used roasting level for coffee beans. Here, roasted coffee beans are done at the second crack. The next and last level of roasting coffee beans is known as Dark Roasting where beans are roasted till they appear oily on the surface; which happens well beyond the second crack. Such roasting generally gives a very full bodied and strong brew.

Apart from the levels of Roasting, there are three main methods of
coffee bean roasting. One is an art, the second a science while the third is a combination of art and science.

Art Roasting is that technique of coffee roasting which has to be mastered through years and years of practice. Here the roast master can tell if a coffee is roasted to perfection simply by using his senses of sound, sight and smell. On the other hand, Science Roasting is where the roast master decides if a coffee is ready based on scientific data. Here the roast master looks at various data including time and temperature in order to ensure that there is uniformity of color among the different batches of roasted coffee beans. The third technique for roasting coffee beans is a fusion of both art as well as science. It is generally used for mass producing coffee beans.

Once the coffee beans are roasted, another process known as cupping is undertaken to ascertain the quality of the roasted beans. Here the coffee is tasted in a similar manner to tasting tea.

In this process, roasted coffee bean samples are extracted and measured in different cups. After that coffee beans from each cup are ground separately and then steeped in boiling water. Upon doing this the coffee grounds rise to the top and trap the aroma underneath. The cupper then removes the coffee grounds and smells the aroma. Last, the coffee is tasted and graded on various characteristics such as flavor, body, aroma, acidity and any defects in taste.

This step concludes the coffee bean roasting process, after which it is up to you, the coffee consumer to decide which type of roasted coffee beans suit your palate the best.

Instant Coffee


James Grierson Food Beverage/Coffee 2008-04-30
View Detail
Instant coffee bears little resemblance in taste to freshly brewed coffee. It is commonly made with inferior ‘robusta’ beans. It is the product of a complex scientific process, yet we British love it.

It may be convenient, but do we actually know what we are drinking? Have you ever wondered how they make coffee soluble? After all coffee is made using tough coffee beans that surely cannot be made to dissolve in water.

The truth is that instant coffee does not contain any actual coffee beans; it is simply a dried coffee flavoured solution that is the product of a complex brewing process. Similarly to everything else in the world of food that has been altered by science is coined ‘Frankenstein’; maybe we should start calling instant coffee, ‘Frankenstein Coffee’?

The process
Extraction: The process starts by passing water through a series of cylinders full of ground coffee beans. Each of these cylinders is heated to a different temperature and in at least one of the cylinders pressure is applied to achieve a fuller extraction. One of reasons why instant coffee is bitter is because during this extraction process the coffee grounds become burnt as they are exposed to temperatures of up to 180°C. (The widely agreed optimum temperature, among coffee enthusiasts, to brew coffee is between 90-95°C).

Filtration & Concentration: This coffee solution is then filtered to remove any unwanted particles before the concentration stage. Here water is removed from the coffee solution to increase the flavour. There are several different techniques to do this, one of which involves heating the solution further to evaporate the water.

Dehydration: In this stage the coffee solution is converted to a dry form. There are two commonly used methods; Spray drying and Freeze drying. The spray drying method is quite complex, however the basic principle is to spraying hot air through the coffee solution in order to evaporate the remaining water. Freeze drying involves quickly freezing the coffee solution into blocks which are then broken up into small particles. These particles are then heated in a vacuum where the ice is vaporised and removed.

Aromatisation: All these different stages and the high temperatures used in them, destroy most of the natural flavours that occur in coffee. The dry form of the coffee solution is therefore both stewed and bitter. So to help improve the taste, aromas produced during the various stages of this process are captured and then sprayed onto the dry coffee particles.

If that is not enough to make you switch from a cup of instant coffee to a freshly brewed cup then you may want to consider that instant coffee, in the vast majority of cases, is not fairly traded. In fact, it can be argued that the instant coffee industry, which is mainly made up of large multinational companies, is chiefly responsible for the low price coffee farmers receive for their harvest. They have the power to drive down prices and buy when the market is lowest, leaving the farmer and their family to live a meagre existence.

Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is not what you are thinking it is. You are perhaps thinking that after making a hot cup of coffee, bringing it down to room temperature, and then chilling it in the refrigerator constitutes a simple iced coffee. You could not be more wrong!

Iced coffee actually refers to an old method of making cold coffee. Hot coffees are hot-brewed, but if you want to make iced coffee the way it was made when it was started, then you have to cold-brew the coffee.

Starbucks coffee houses offer many different types of iced coffee to their customers and the following is just one of the many starbucks iced coffee recipes which can be sampled.

Iced Americano:

You need: 7 fluid ounces of cold filtered water and 3 shots of Espresso coffee and plenty of ice.

Fill the ice to just 1/4 inch below the rim of the glass and then add the coffee and water.

This will make a full 16 ounce glass of full bodied espresso coffee which is crisp and refreshing.

Iced Coffee: Tips And Tricks

1.Put some of the coffee you ve made in the freezer and make ice cubes out of it.Also try adding a bit of sugar syrup and a little chocolate flavoring.Result:Great ice cubes that you can suck on!

2.If you choose to make iced coffee using the hot-brew method, then you must get the coffee into the refrigerator once it reaches room temperature. If you allow it to get colder than that, then it may lose its flavor.

3.Add whipped cream to your iced coffee and shake it up nicely in a cocktail shaker.Then add a bit of cocoa powder to the top. You could also add a chocolate flake!This will make the drink look frothy and attractive and, who knows, your friends and neighbors might regard you as an iced coffee expert and it will taste absolutely wonderful!

Ethiopian coffee

Every time you turn the coffee pot on, you are most likely preparing to experience the enjoyable taste of coffee from Ethiopia, which grows 70 to 80% of the world's coffee beans.

It’s Ethiopia that presented coffee to the world in the 16th century, and is still the biggest grower of the Arabica coffee craved by many people in the world.

Coffee Arabica is the only variety of coffee grown in Kaffa and Sidamo (Ethiopia's major coffee-growing regions). Coffee was named after the Kaffa region, which produces the premium Arabica beans in the world. Ethiopian coffee Arabica is smooth and full bodied, rich yet mellow, without the bitterness and pungency of coffees grown in other nations.

Ethiopian coffee is available in several varieties, each having its own smells and aromas. The three major coffee-growing regions of Ethiopia are: Harrar, Sidamo and Ghimbi. One of the most prominent dry processed varieties of the Harrar region is the Longberry (a larger bean that contains a trace of a wine taste with a touch of acidity).

This region also produces Ethiopian coffee containing aromatic hints of blueberries and blackberries. It is the aroma of Ethiopian coffee from Harrar that provides the aroma found in most espresso blends.

The Sidamo and Ghimbi regions mainly produce washed coffees. The coffee from Ghimbi region is well balanced, with a heavier taste than coffee from the Harrar region. Coffees from Sidamo are lighter and mild, with a richer, more pleasant aroma.

Keep in mind, all types of Ethiopian coffee are never high roasted, no matter where they are grown. If you do so it would harm the rich character and body of the beverage so many have grown to love.

Ethiopia is proud to consistently provide coffee lovers with the top quality and most gratifying taste in every pot they brew. Ethiopian coffee actually shakes upur taste buds and bodies. A morning without it would certainly send many a person right back to bed.

Coffee Class

Coffee a necessity, an addiction, a drug whatever it is to you, let us take you on a journey to discover the art of the perfect coffee.

Coffee is one of the worlds most popular beverages with a reported 1 billion plus cups consumed each year.

The majority of commercial coffee comes from two species of coffee beans the Coffea robusta and Coffea arabica however there are about 25 species worldwide that produce beans.

The robusta bean is generally used in espresso blends and instant coffee. It is a high yielding plant and thus its beans are cheaper. It is also high in caffeine, about twice as potent as the arabica.

Arabica produces a full-bodied rich coffee, which connoisseurs consider superior.

Much coffee that is consumed is ground. The size of the grinds is critical in determining the quality of the drink.

Finely ground coffee is similar in texture to confectioner s sugar and the resulting brew is heavy and rich, ideal for espresso. However, if it is too finely ground it slows the brewing process and produces a bitter taste.

Medium ground coffee, which is used for automatic drip brewing, should feel like beach sand.

And coarse ground coffee which has the texture of coarse salt is ideally suited to the percolator. If it is too coarse however the resultant coffee will be weak and watery due to brewing to quickly.

Then there is the quick and easy instant coffee, which is made from blending, roasting and grinding the beans into a soluble powder.

Years ago, you just had coffee. But now there are heaps of choices, each with it s on distinct personality.

Espresso aka Short Black 20ml of strong, black coffee served with a layer of crema on top.

Affogato (which means to drown) a coffee ice-cream. Two thirds a glass of ice-cream with two shots of espresso poured over top.

Caffe latte (which means coffee with milk) is an espresso topped up with steamed milk and a little froth on top.

Cappuccino is an espresso, topped with two thirds steamed milk and one third froth. Then with a dusting of drinking chocolate on top.

Long Black hot water is added and then espresso on top.

Macchiato (which means stained) is simply an espresso with a dash of warm milk.

Mocha is an espresso blended with drinking chocolate and topped with frothed milk.

In recent years coffee has become very social and at times it can appear a little over-whelming. At least now, next time you go out for coffee you will know which one to order.

Happy Coffee Drinking

Coffee Pods


Dhiraj Home Family/Home Family 2007-04-06
View Detail

A great day begins with a cup of freshly roasted coffee. And that you get from an excellent coffee pod. Pods or coffee pods or espresso pods are a simple way to get a perfect espresso and with excellent results. But for the beginners let’s answer a simple question first i.e. what are coffee pods? Coffee pods are freshly roasted coffee, ground perfect, tampered to the correct pressure and then encapsulated in a paper. It is the beginning of a rich experience of the way you drink coffee.

The original pod was first designed by Illy caffe around 10 years ago. It wa the year 1996 when Illy opened its idea to the coffee industry to bring a standard pod size to the market. Many coffee machine makers now offer adaptors with their machines to accept pods. By using pods in your machine not only can you guarantee perfect results, there is no mess and pods help to look after your machine. In fact used pods can even be used as fertilizer for your garden as well. That is why a rich coffee taste is always benefiting.

If you are an espresso connoisseur by heart you can find a great relief with the coffee pods. As an espresso lover you understand that there are many ways of preparation where the espresso can get wrong, the grind, the measurement, freshness, the roast, tampering, temperature, water pressure are some areas which one has to watch out to make that special cup of coffee.

Now if you wonder what the best kind of coffee pod is, the answer is the home made one. Don’t be shocked, it is true to the last drop of espresso. You can actually make the coffee pods of your freshly roasted coffee beans. Although it is nit that easy but it is sheer fun and little adventure to make a coffee pod in your kitchen itself. What you need is your favorite freshly roasted coffee beans perfectly grounded to fine powder, a sheet of filter paper and some kitchen tools. The first step to get a home made coffee pod is to get the correct measuring scoop for the size of the pod. Take the coffee style filter paper sheet and put it in the scoop. The next step is to find a glass bottle or something similar which can be used to pressure the paper in that scoop. If you have found the right size of glass jar (in most cases you will) center the filter around the jar and do it by putting the combination back in the scoop leaving a cup shaped filter paper in the scoop. Add one scoop, or about 2 teaspoons of your favorite ground coffee to this paper-filter-cup more or less to taste. The typical coffee scoops that come with makers hold about 7 grams of coffee which is just about right. Give the cup a slight shake to evenly spread the grounds across the bottom of the filter, and then use your finger to gently fold over the extra filter material, completely covering the ground coffee. For a really well-formed pod, you can place the jar into the scoop one last time and press down really hard with the palm of your hand.

At last your favorite coffee pod is now ready to be put into the espresso machine to enjoy that rich taste of coffee. And who said coffee is not about fun.

Coffee Beans
 

A coffee bean is the seed of the
coffee plant, known as the pit. The
pit is inside the purple or red fruit,
coffee berries or coffee cherries. The
fruit most commonly contain two stones
with there flat sides together.
Endosperm is found inside the coffee bean ,the endosperm
contains caffeine. Caffeine is the main reason
the plant is cultivated. Coffee beans are very
important for some countries who export the product.
 

The coffee plant ( there are ten species of the
flowering plant ) are either shrubs or small trees.
The plants are native to southern Asia and Africa.
The seeds of the coffea plant are the source of a
stimulating beverage called coffee. In the trade
they are known as “beans”. Coffee beans are
cultivated on plantations in tropical countries
for export and local consumption. Coffee is the
world’s second most valuable commodity after oil
and is a major export for some countries.
 

Coffee is a bush or small tree and when grown in
the tropics can grow to a height of 10 to 12 feet.
The bush or tree cannot survive a winter frost. For
the plants to produce many coffee berries they need
substantial amounts of water. Many species of plant
can be grown for the beans, but one of the best producers
is the coffea arabica. The tree produces purple or red
fruits, these contain two seeds also know as coffee
beans. The coffee tree will produce fruit after 3 to 5
years. Some trees have been known to grow fruits for as
long as 100 years, although most trees grow fruits for 50 to 60
years. It is estimated that there are 15 billion coffee
trees around the world.

Coffee houses

I can't imagine a world without coffee. This is probably the world's favorite beverage. Sorry all you tea drinkers out there. Java is where it's at. And your weekly coffee bill is proof of that. How much do you imagine the average American spends on Starbuck's or some other coffee shop in one week? My best buddy, who lives down in Irvine, California tells me he spends 10 dollars a day on himself. That's 70 dollars a week on coffee alone. Can you imagine what he spends in an entire year? You do the math. My point is that coffee houses have become one serious business. Even independent owners are making an utter killing.
There is one thing that everyone should know about today's coffee houses. Well, at least if you're a coffee addict like me anyway. Not all lattes are created equal. Take the stuff you'll find at Starbuck's. This is not by any means some of the best java around. An employee of this chain actually gave me the scoop. They buy the cheapest coffee beans you can find. Is this really a big shocker? Uh, not so much. It's to be expected from fast-food type businesses. They're much more interested in making a buck than making something great. On top of that, Starbuck's roasts their coffee beans pretty dark, hence leaving a burnt flavor in their espresso. Now, if you've tried some of the finer coffee houses around, you'd definitely notice the difference. Espresso that's prepared correctly has a much smoother, richer flavor to it. So far I've found about five outstanding coffee houses that bury the big chains.
If you're searching for a better espresso beverage that leaves the high-priced stuff in the dust, you may want to purchase your own machine. This way you can not only enjoy espresso drinks on a whim and whenever you please, but you can also choose the coffee beans. Gourmet coffee beans can be bought online or in certain grocery stores. Get them right after they've been roasted. This will make for a phenomenal cup of java. I'll bet you'll even prefer it to the local coffee houses. One thing is for sure, it'll save you some serious cash.

Coffee Makers and Coffee Grinders

From the regular drip coffee maker to the old fashioned coffee perker, and even the gourmet espresso machine, coffee makers and grinders are a common kitchen gadget. Many people around the world love a fresh cup of home brewed coffee, and they like to make it for their company or in the morning to go with breakfast. There are many ways to get the job done, and here are some of the most common.

In the majority of coffee makers, automatic drip machines, pre-ground coffee is placed in a paper or metal filter, which is over top a glass coffee pot . Cold water is poured in, the machine heats it up to boiling and it trickles through the coffee grounds, then into the pot. There are also single cup drip coffee makers which don't use electricity, and you just pour boiling water into the top. These coffee makers are pretty easy to find in any department store, and can make from four to ten cups at once depending on the model.

There are single serving coffee makers that use a measured packet of coffee grounds like a tea bag. These are purchased in different flavors and varieties, ready to use. These are popular gadgets for houses that only need one cup of coffee made at once.

The coffee plunger, or French press, is another popular tool for making small amounts of coffee. It works by placing the coffee and hot water together, leaving it to brew for a few minutes, then pushing the plunger to the bottom to separate the grounds from the coffee. Since French presses don't use paper filters that would remove the oils and sediment with the grounds, French pressed coffee can be stronger and thicker than drip-brewed coffee.

Finally, there are espresso machines which produce a concentrated coffee 'shot' using hot water forced under high pressure through very fine grounds. A shot of espresso is thicker than regular coffee and has more sediment in it. Espresso is used in many other coffee drinks, such as lattes, cappuccini, and mochas. This is a much stronger drink than many are accustomed to, although some would say it is the only 'real' coffee.

If you want the full flavor and aroma from fresh ground coffee beans, you need a way to grind them at home. There are many different coffee grinders on the market, most having steel blades. As with many things, a little more money gets you a product that will perform better. For the real gourmet, a burr grinder is a step up from the steel bladed variety.

My favorite coffee maker came with a timer and a coffee grinder built into it. Every morning the preloaded coffee beans go into the grinder and grounds pour down into the filter. By the time I get up, coffee is ready. What a way to start the day. Bottoms up!

But using an espresso coffee grinder prevents this from happening.

Coffee experts recommend adding two heaping tablespoons of whole beans to the grinder for every six ounces of water you plan to use. To be exact, you probably should measure out your water before you add it to the coffee maker if you are using a drip coffee maker.

Flavored Coffee Vs. Black Coffee

If a purist asks whether you want your coffee black, the answer will often be an inadvertent yes, then an inward grimace. Of course black coffee is delicious. Drink it like a hero, right? Not necessarily.

There are several wonderful flavors, blends and mixes that could be enjoyed as any coffee purist would, as a coffee is supposed to be enjoyed. This is precisely why over time coffee lovers all over the world have kept experimenting and coming out with different coffee flavors and roasts. The best part is, it has not yet been perfected. You, like the rest of us, still have the opportunity to decide which coffee is best for you. For all the hype and the claims to be "the best coffee in the world" by many manufacturers and growers, coffee really is a personal issue. There is absolutely no truth in the idea that some coffee are vastly superior to others. There is however, truth in the saying that the proof of a good coffee is in its brewing.

Life is definitely more exciting with a little more flavor. You take whatever coffee works best for you and be proud with the choice, whether it's flavored coffee or black.

Flavored coffee drinkers must stand together and unite. When caught red-handed purchasing it, do not make the poor excuse that it was meant for your mother, honestly. Drink it and be happy with it. After all, it is your taste buds you want to please, not anyone else's.

Enjoying flavored coffee may be as old as Hamurrabi. As a matter of fact, even the Turks of old, famous for having no sugar mixes, had the coffee in their ibrik with cinnamon, cardamom, clove (of all things), sometimes as weird as a pepper-flavored coffee. In other areas there is also a coconut flavored coffee. There are even rumors of flavoring with garlic. It can be gross, the length that one has to go just to have a flavored coffee. The purist who prefers his coffee black will grimace at that, but then you're even.

Today, thank your lucky stars we have better ways of enjoying a good cup of flavored coffee. Flavored coffees come in countless flavors, including: Irish cream, mocha, amaretto, vanilla, peppermint, cinnamon spice, pumpkin spice, and raspberry.

Flavored coffee beans are divided into the following categories:

* Spice-based flavored coffee, such as cinnamon.

* Chocolate-based flavored coffee beans like mint mocha.

* Vanilla-based flavored coffee, including the nut-based flavors like hazelnut and macadamia nut flavored coffee.

* Fruit-based flavored coffee like raspberry, melon and coconut.

While the lists are the elementary groupings, roasters are also experimenting with mixing the groups to come out with a delicious coffee flavor.

As previously mentioned, coffee is still undergoing a tremendous amount of development and innovation. No perfect blend has been discovered in spite of thr various claims. Coffee lovers still have a chance to come out with their own original flavored coffee. Garlic, though, might be a bit much for even the most diehard coffee enthusiasts.
