Premium Connoisseru Peaberry coffee in your connoisseur coffee cup

Posted by gourmet coffee snob on 31 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Gourmet Coffee Snob Sez


It is said that the French press coffee maker creates the best coffee in the world. This is because of the process it is made with, and just maybe the coffee put in it.Premium Connoisseur Peaberry coffee The French press coffee maker has a long beaker made of glass, where sugar and coffee ( premium connoisseur peaberry coffee ) is added. Nothing else is added to it but water, which is then heated and brought to a boil. Once the water is boiling, there will be a plunger of a silver foil which needs to be slowly lowered towards the bottom of the beaker.

As the plunger goes down, the frothy, fresh and aromatic coffee will come up and the residue will be separated by the plunger. The premium connoisseur peaberry coffee made by this method is just amazing. It can be compared to some extent with any world class premium connoisseur coffee. Since the beaker has complete control over the temperature inside and out, the coffee can be served piping hot anytime you want it.

There are other names given to the coffee made by a French press coffee maker. People know this type of coffee as the cafetiere, presspot and/ or the plunger and it is a hot favorite all over the world, why not make one at your home too. Because it is using hot water and freshly grounded coffee beans, it gives an exceptionally strong, rich and flavorful coffee which amply deserves the name of the connoisseur coffee maker.

The world is full of coffee – filter coffee, vacuum coffee, milk coffee, that coffee, this coffee – but nothing can be ever tastier than premium connoisseur peaberry coffee made in a French press coffee maker. Let me tell you why, if you are curious to know. To best understand why the French press coffee maker makes the best possible cup of coffee, you need to know how the coffee is prepared in this process, as well as the second to none in fine coffee drinking enjoyment of premium connoisseur peaberry coffee.

The type of coffee you are using for this type of coffee is very important. Usually, for best results, coffee which is obtained from fried beans and then ground with the help of a burr grinder is used. This type of grinder grinds the coffee in a granulated form instead of powder.

Because of this, the beans will maintain the richest flavor and this same flavor will get soaked in the heated water used in the French press coffee maker. Once you taste a cup of coffee made this way, it is doubtful you will ever enjoy anything else again.

When your coffee drinking pleasure demands only the very best tasting, freshest coffee, look than no further than SpotaJava Coffee newest coffee Premium gourmet coffee snob sips premium connoissuer peaberry coffeeConnoisseur Peaberry. Combining all of the qualities of the best gourmet coffees and the most famous coffee, there is no finer coffee bean available on the whole entire planet.

If you are looking at the most famous and best gourmet coffees, then Jamaica Blue Mountain, Kona, and Costa Rican are most common trait. They are grown in volcanic mountain regions. Like the finest wine region of Italy and France, the best gourmet coffee have an areas were the coffee bean flavor thrives. The two most significant aspects of the best gourmet coffee are soil and altitude.

At higher elevations different factors come together in process of growing the best gourmet coffee. Late afternoon cloud cover defends the coffee plants from an undue amount of direct sunlight. The clouds comprises of moisture, which lightly waters the coffee plants through its leaves other than through its roots.

The best gourmet coffees are mainly rated with a SHB rating that means Strictly Hard Bean rating. The coffee bean full-grown at elevated altitudes is much stronger than those grown at lower elevations. This difference places the coffee bean in the group of the best gourmet coffee rating on world coffee markets.
The disadvantage of growing this coffee at much higher altitudes is the difficulty in agricultural process.

Farms at this level are near the peaks of mountain formations that are very steep. You could even imagine the trouble of driving vehicles to these isolated locations with few paved roads. At times the ground is near about at a 45 degree angle making it very tricky to plant, farm, inspect and then pick the coffee beans from side of a mountain. More manual labor-intensive is necessary not only for farming but also for transporting the baskets important with the best coffee beans.

The distance of these locations also makes it a long and very difficult to transport them to the ports of allocation to world markets. The roads are frequently rough and stony winding up and down mountain sides and frequently beside an unsafe cliff. You could imagine the intrinsic danger concerned just in transporting a heavy truck load of the best gourmet coffee. The farmers would stride along side their ox drive cart dragging their payload. The farmers would paint multi-colored designs on the large wooden ox cart wheels that have become a sign of Costa Rican heritage even to this day.

Bean coffee decaffeinated…

Posted by gourmet coffee snob on 28 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Gourmet Coffee Snob Sez


Decaffeination is the act of removing caffeine from coffee beans
and tea leaves. All decaffeination processes areperformed on unroasted
(green) coffee beans, but themethods vary somewhat.

They generally start by steaming the beans. The beans are then rinsed
in some solvent that contains as much of the chemical composition of coffee as
possible without also containing the caffeine in a soluble form.

The process is repeated anywhere from 8 to 12 times
until it meets either the international standard of having
removed 97% of the caffeine in the beans or the EU standard
of having less than 0.10% caffeine by mass in the coffee
at the end of the process.

gourmet decaf coffee Coffee contains over 400
chemicals important to the taste and aroma of the final
drink, this effectively means that no chemical reaction
will remove only caffeine while leaving the other
chemicals at their original concentrations.

While they are occasionally referred to informally as "decaffeinated,"
soft drinks without caffeine are prepared by simply leaving
caffeine out in the first place.

Coffee arabica normally
contains about half the caffeine of coffea robusta, and a
coffea arabica bean containing a tenth as much caffeine as
a normal bean has been found by some Brazilian scientists.

This may change how low caffeine coffee is produced in the
future. But for now, one of several methods is employed.
The first commercially successful decaffeination process
was invented by Ludwig Roselius and Karl Wimmer in 1905.
It involved steaming coffee beans with a brine (salt water)
solution and then using benzene as a solvent to remove the
caffeine. Coffee decaffeinated this way was sold as Cafe
sanka in France and later as Sanka brand coffee in the US.

Now THIS is the way we rock it at SpotaJava Coffee

The Swiss Water Process (SWP) method of decaffeination is a
patented process that uses water only and results in the best tasting coffee. All of our decaf coffees are processed by the "all natural" and "chemical free" Swiss Water
Process method

First, the beans are cleaned and soaked water, partially
saturated with coffee flavor solids, in preparation for
caffeine extraction.

Next, the beans are immersed in the flavor-charged water.
Initially the water is caffeine-free, and as a result the
caffeine diffuses from the beans into the water.

Since the concentration of flavor components in the bean
and in the water are equal, only the caffeine is removed,
leaving the flavor intact. The water then passes through a
carbon filter that traps the caffeine.

The now caffeine-free,
flavor-charged water flows back to the beans to remove more
caffeine. This process continues for approximately 8 hours,
until the beans are 99.9% caffeine-free.

Following decaffeination, the trapped caffeine is removed
from the carbon filter. The flavor-charged water is then
recycled to the start of the process for the next batch of
beans.

All of your shamefully rich soothingly smooth spotajava decaffeinated coffee
is processed using the swiss water process. This further guarantees
your coffee cup holds nothing less than the most extravagant coffee
drinking taste experience that you and your taste buds can have.
