Happening Now: Coffee Harvest With Dallis Bros. Coffee at Octavio Coffee's Proprietary Farm in Sao Paulo, Brazil

(PRWEB) August 03, 2011

Long before the name of the roaster became a defining trademark of coffee branding, Dallis Bros. Coffee was in the business of bringing the finest, freshest roasted coffee to New Yorkers. Through the years, Dallis remained true to its history, while also exploring and developing the best knowledge, practices and technology in the coffee world. Beginning in 1913 with horse-drawn wagons, the Dallis brothers went door-to-door in Queens and Brooklyn selling five-pound bags of their coffee.

Today, Dallis provides customized, roasted-to-order coffee (single origin and proprietary blends) to many of the finest cafs and restaurants in New York today including Berkli Parc, Craftbar, Gramercy Tavern, Root Hill and Union Square Caf.

In 2007, the dream of having a direct and sustainable connection to the source became a reality, when Octavio Coffee, a Brazilian farm and coffee company, acquired Dallis Bros. The two formed a partnership that allowed the Queens-based roasting company to become intimately involved in every step of production from farm to cup. The team at Dallis Bros. is driven by their passion for quality coffee and their knowledge of coffee origins. Coffee Director Byron Holcomb, VP John Moore, CEO Marcelo Crescente work closely with the coffee farm in Pedgregulho, Brazil, Fazenda Nossa Senhora Aparecida, cupping through all the varietals each harvest, as well as taking extreme care in the roasting process back in New York.

Edgard Bressani, CEO of the Division of Agriculture of Octavio Coffee, and his team who manage the farm, have the same enthusiasm for quality, rigorous attention to detail, as the team at Dallis Bros. The farm workers, pickers, technicians and other staff, are all motivated to use extreme carewhether handpicking or using the latest sorting technologyto assure that no defects enter the coffee from the soil to the roasted bean.

Like Dallis Bros., Octavio Coffee has a venerable history as a family-owned business. In 1890, Italian-native Giusepe Qurcia and his son Vicente immigrated to Brazil and began cultivating coffee. In the 1940s, Vicentes son, Octavio, building on the family expertise, decided to grow coffee in the Alta Mogiana, Pedregulho region, in the state of So Paulo, an area with all the right stuff (good soil and high altitude) for growing delicious coffeesweet and well-balanced.

Today, Octavio has 6 different estates in Alta Mogiana Region, a total 12,355 acres, and 4 million coffee trees. The farm currently has 2,400-2,500 acres in coffee production, which translates into about 34,000 120 lb. sacks of raw, green beans.

Standing atop a hill, one can look out over a green ocean of coffee trees that extends as far as the eye can see. The lush plants bear the fruit of the woody, perennial evergreen, Coffea arabica. To the visitor who has never seen how coffee grows, the fields are reminiscent of a vineyard, the clusters of coffee cherries, in varying colors ranging from green-red, to bright red or bright yellow, depending on the cultivar, remind one of clusters of grapes.

Like grape vines, the terroir (the soil, the temperature, the altitude, the location, the environment) of the coffee plant, all influence the final product that ends up on your table, in your glass or in your cup. But unlike wine, the raw material that eventually metamorphoses into a beverage is drawn from the seed hidden inside the coffee cherryan extra step away from the fruity pulp that surrounds itthan a grape is from juice or wine. The final product, in the case of coffee, derives its qualities, not from the fruit on the tree, but from that seed, which must be picked, sorted, processed, dried, de-pulped, de-husked, and roasted before it eventually becomes the bean we recognize as coffee.

As an agricultural crop, coffee requires a considerable investment of time, effort and money. It takes 3-5 years before the trees are commercially viable. During the dry season, the self-pollinating coffee plants are encouraged to flower. The white coffee flowers open and smell phenomenal for a day, but its the rainfall thats required for the flowers to develop into fruit, a life cycle that takes from 6-11 months. Without rain, Brazilian coffee farmers risk losing their crops.

At each step, from the planting of various varietals of Arabica, to the harvest that lasts from May to July, as coffee cherries ripening at different rates on the same plant, are picked by hand or by sophisticated picking machines that can be calibrated to pick only the ripe fruit, to carefully monitoring and turning the natural (pulp-covered) beans on asphalt drying patios to prevent fermentation, to removing the outer dry husk, to properly storing, packaging and shipping the beansat each stage of the process, whether clearing the leaves and twigs from the cherries by tossing them up in the air and letting the wind take them or sorting by machine, there is the potential to make or break what nature produced.

Further connecting with the coffee-consuming public, Octavio Cafnamed after Vicentes sonis known as the best caf in So Paulo, a city with a vibrant caf culture. The coffee bar and restaurant embodies all the best qualities of the farm, the beans, processing, roasting and service, with delicious results in every cup of coffee from espresso to cappuccino as well as coffee drinks that are unique to So Paulo and Octavio Cafe. (Recipes available on request.)

In the U.S., consumers can experience the benefits of the attention to detail that Octavio and Dallis Bros. follow along the trail of quality coffee from seed to cup, from So Paulo to New York. In each bag of coffee from Fazenda Nossa Senhora Aparacida, Dallis Bros. represents the farms hard work, from its social and environmental efforts to its consistently delicious coffees. For each new harvest, representatives from Dallis visit the farm, and taste through a series of cuppings, each of the numerous lots that are just out of the fields.

Dallis Bros. Coffee receives rested (reposado) raw green beans from the farm in Brazil and roasts them to just the right degree, to bring out the best in the beans. Working with a 1950s vintage Probat, ideal for perfecting the roast, the excellent roasters at Dallis rely on their experience, sense of smell, visual cues, as well as computerized fine-tuning, to determine the perfect roast for the beans, and to achieve consistent quality.

All of this translates onto the following label information about this single origin coffee:

GROWING REGION: Pedregulho in Alta Mogiana, Brazil

Like any avid, high strung coffee lover, I am always looking to enjoy my coffee with a kick by putting it through an espresso machine. Because there are so many choices, it can quickly become overwhelming when it comes time to purchase one. Here are the basics of choosing and purchasing an espresso machine.

You can break up an espresso machine into 3 basic categories. The first is the fully automatic machines. These machines will do everything for you except drink the espresso. You basically load the coffee into the machine, along with the water and filter, push the button, and walk away. These obviously are the most expensive and usually don’t have the highest quality brew.

Next we have the partially automatic machines. There actually is a hidden benefit to getting one of these that often goes overlooked. When making espresso, you can control the quality of the coffee extraction. This will give you an espresso the way you like it.

Last we have the most common type of espresso machine: the manual maker. Some avid fans need to have full control over their brewing and because of this, all they need is the machine with a handle press and they’ll make a perfect cup of joe.

There are certain qualities that you have to look for when choosing an espresso machine. First, and most important, is the quality of the brand of the maker. There are certain companies that make espresso machines that can run into the thousands of dollars. While they do make a good espresso, there are many that are comparable at a small fraction of the price.

The features that all espresso machines should always have is an integrated burr grinder, a bean hopper, preferably high capacity, a heater, a pump, and an automatic cleaning cycle. You should always look to buy a model made from stainless steel because of its durability.

The bottom line is that if you stick to the major brands of Krups, Bosch, and Capresso, you cannot go wrong.

Be Your Own Boss in the Vending Machine Business

Edit Article |

A vending opportunity is an exceptional way to get started with your own business. One thing about a vending machine business is that you don’t need any experience to get started. You can start out with one small machine and learn the ropes as you go along. Granted, you will make mistakes, but they won’t be very serious or detrimental to your business. You might get a chance to buy an established vending machine business, which is the best vending opportunity of all.

When you find a vending business for sale, take time to evaluate the business before you jump right in. Too many people jump into a vending opportunity without really understanding that this business requires work like any other. It is not a get rich quick scheme and it does require an initial investment. You can’t just place the vending machines anywhere and think that they will make money for you. As you learn the vending machine business, you will learn which locations are best for your vending machines.

Some vending machines will do better in some locations than others. For example, a candy vending machine will not do as well as a coffee vending machine in an office building. In the same vein, candy and soda vending machines will go over really well in a bowling alley, whereas coffee vending machines might not be lucrative as a vending opportunity. As you learn the vending machine business you will determine whether or not this business is something that you will want to remain in. Many people start out by buying too many machines only to find that they don’t have time to service them all.

To learn the vending machine business, you should try to go along on a vending route with a businessperson. Another way you can get information about a vending opportunity or if there is an established vending business for sale is to contact a vending machine distributor. These people are usually the first ones to find out about the possibility of an opportunity to buy a vending business because they have so many business contacts.

One way of establishing a vending opportunity is to acquire the services of a locator. This person will research the area where you want to start and learn the vending machine business to find the best locations for your vending machines. If you find a vending business for sale, there are some things that you must do to make sure that this opportunity is not a scam. Take a day and go on the route with the owner and see for yourself the amount of money that comes out of the machines. Have an independent person inspect the machines to make sure you won’t have costly repairs right away and talk to the business owners of the locations to find out how well the machines are for business. If you find that the vending opportunity will help you generate a second income, or even your main income, the best advice is to go for it.

Where to purchase products to stock your vending machines

In 2008, Americans bought more than billion worth of vending products. No matter how you look at it, that’s a lot of snacks and drinks.

So where is the best place to purchase the products for your vending business? Before we examine that issue, make sure the products in the machine are what your customer wants. A simple survey letter on the front of each machine asking your customers what items they would like to see in the machine really helps a lot. Leave the surveys on the machine a few days and see what happens. When I’ve done this in the past, I’d usually get requests for beer and wine, but also helpful suggestions. There are a lot of regional brands that people like and the larger vending companies don’t have time to stock. Be different! Be unique! Learn from your customers!

Keep in mind that your existing accounts are the best source of new customers. This survey will generate goodwill for your business and lets your customers know that you care – it’s one personalized service you provide that the larger companies don’t.

Time to Go Shopping: The wholesale clubs – Sam’s, BJ’s and Costco – are generally the best places to buy snacks. They offer as few or as many snacks as you need, at reasonable prices. Check with some of your candy companies to see if they offer product rebates. And always make sure you buy the right size snacks to vend out of your machines. An easy way to find out is to pull an item out of the tray on a spiral snack machine; if the spiral comes out with the snack, the snack is too large.

The major drink manufacturers usually run sales on sodas from Memorial Day until Christmas. Scan newspapers for best prices and even clip coupons. Some of the smaller or independent grocery stores will let you buy large amounts of drinks at a great price at certain times of the year. The 1-to-2 cents you save per can is pure profit and adds to the bottom line.

For coin-operated coffee vending machines, you must buy product through a vending machine product distributor. These items are specially formulated for vending without binding up the machine with humidity. Vending-specific cups are important because they are made to dispense without jamming. Be very careful when buying a case of cups. Always keep the case standing upright so that you don’t flatten out the lip of the cup. If the lip flattens, the cup will jam and the customer will watch his coffee run down the drain.

Don’t be afraid to be different in what you stock, and make sure you charge a fair price for a quality product. These simple steps will help you keep your customers happy – which keeps ‘em coming back for more business.
