Survey Shows 1 in 10 Americans Would Rather Traverse the Grand Canyon Than Give Up Their Morning Cup of Coffee

Waterbury, VT (PRWEB) October 21, 2010

A survey conducted on behalf of Green Mountain Coffee shows what many of us would already suspect: America is a coffee-crazed country. In fact, according to Green Mountain Coffees Fair Trade-Out Survey, nearly 1 in 10 Americans would absolutely walk from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, bike 100 miles or hike Mr. Rainier (9% for each) to make sure they got their daily cup. And one in six Americans would cry on Oprahs couch on live TV (16%) or make an appearance on Jersey Shore (15%).

Furthermore, the survey indicates that 1 in 3 Americans confess that they believe they need coffee every day, and on average drink 2.6 cups of coffee per day. Approximately 1 in 4 (26%) drinks four or more cups daily.

But even with all the coffee drinking in America, it seems very few people know much about the coffee in their cup, including how to make it, where it comes from, and perhaps most importantly, how their choice of coffee can have an impact on communities around the world. Conducted in celebration of Fair Trade Month in October, The Fair Trade-Out Survey explores Americas relationship with coffee and aims to educate coffee drinkers on the benefits of trading out their coffee for Fair Trade Certified varieties. Fair Trade provides a fair, minimum price to coffee farmers for their beans, resulting in higher quality coffee, and a higher quality of life in coffee-farming communities.

What Would Americans Trade Out for Their Coffee?

When faced with the choice of losing their daily cup of coffee, American coffee drinkers would trade out most anything to keep it, including their car (29%), mobile phone (53%) and their pet (36%). What else would Americans trade out to keep their coffee?

  • Negative publicity doesnt scare off these coffee drinkers: About one in six Americans would cry on Oprahs couch on live TV (16%) or make an appearance on Jersey Shore (15%).
  • More than a quarter of Americans (29%) would absolutely pass up end zone tickets to the Super Bowl.
  • Who needs vacation? Approximately 1 in 4 Americans (26%) would be apt to give up all their vacation days for a year rather than forgo their cup of coffee.
  • Americans are willing to go green. 3 in 4 would consider not drinking bottled water (74%) or stop using their car for trips less than 1 mile from home (70%)

Free Coffee for Americans for Fair Trade Month in October

The Fair Trade-Out Survey is part of a campaign to encourage Americans to trade out their usual cup of coffee for Green Mountain Coffees Fair Trade Certified blends.

The Fair Trade-Out Survey is a fun way to remind people that coffee is more than just a part of a daily routine, said Sandy Yusen, Director of Public Relations, Specialty Coffee Business Unit of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. The choices we make about whats in our cup have the power to improve the lives of coffee farmers and their families all over the world.

Green Mountain Coffee is offering all coffee lovers the opportunity to get free samples of Green Mountain Coffee while supplies last by visiting http://www.facebook.com/greenmountaincoffee, where they can RSVP for a live, guided online tasting taking place on October 26, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. ET.

The Fair Trade-Out Survey underscores the opportunity to promote better understanding of the benefits of Fair Trade. Currently, only 1 in 5 (19%) Americans regularly buy Fair Trade Certified products thats just one-half of those who regularly buy local products (38%). The survey suggests that this may be due to lack of education on what Fair Trade means:

  • 2 in 3 (66%) Americans stated that they did not fully understand what Fair Trade means, and 1 in 3 (30%) admitted they had no idea. Even when given options, less than half (43%) could identify the definition of Fair Trade.
  • However, after reading an explanation of the meaning of Fair Trade, nearly 4 in 5 respondents were likely to purchase Fair Trade Certified products in the future.
  • When it comes to paying a premium for Fair Trade products, 30% of those surveyed agreed that they would be willing to pay 5% to 10% more.

Americas Coffee Culture

  • Theres no such thing as an occasional coffee drinker: 77% of respondents drink coffee every day. Only 1 in 10 (11%) drinks coffee less than 5 days per week.
  • And when Americans indulge, they really indulge: Only 1 in 5 respondents (20%) stop at one cup of coffee per day. In fact, 1 in 4 (26%) drinks four or more cups daily
  • Make mine black: 27% of respondents nationally take their coffee black.
  • Half and half is the most popular coffee lightener: 15% of respondents prefer half and half over flavored creamer (13%), and whole milk and cream (both 11%).
  • Most popular place to drink coffee? An overwhelming 80% drink coffee at home, followed by the office at 11%.
  • Americans are sweet: About 2 in 5 respondents go for the sweet stuff.

New Anti-Aging Health Coffee Containing 115 Antioxidants Rids Body of Harmful Contaminants

(PRWEB) February 23, 2006

Scientists have been studying pollutants in air, water and on land for decades. Now they’re studying pollution in people, and the findings are troubling. In 2003, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) tested the blood and urine of nine volunteers for 211 possible contaminants and discovered 167 pollutants, including an average of 56 carcinogens in each person.

With this study, EWG set a benchmark for the exploding science on the human bodyburden the pollution in people that raises deep concerns about a system of public health protections that doesn’t ask chemical companies to safety test their products before they are sold.

EWG’s bodyburden programs join a growing body of science documenting human exposures to industrial chemicals beginning in the womb and continuing to the end of life. The fact is, more than 80,000 industrial chemicals are registered for use in this country. The government approves seven new chemicals every day. It is little wonder that even newborn babies are filled with the products of the chemical industry.

Scientists see troubling signs that we face growing risks for some health problems, and that these may be related to the human body burden of industrial chemicals.

In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonweal, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in the blood and urine of nine volunteers, with a total of 167 chemicals found in the group. Like most of us, the people tested do not work with chemicals on the job and do not live near an industrial facility.

Scientists refer to this contamination as a persons body burden. Of the 167 chemicals found, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development. The dangers of exposure to these chemicals in combination has never been studied.

A new scientific breakthrough in both health, nutrition and the coffee industry allows the consumer to rid their bodies of these harmful contaminants by simply drinking a cup of coffee, mocha, tea, or hot chocolate containing ganoderma lucidum each day.

Gano Cafe, the world’s first anti-aging health coffee contains a water soluble extract from ganoderma lucidum also known as the Reishi in Japan, Lingshi in China and Youngchi in Korea. This extract has 200 active elements that penetrate each cell and take the toxins out of the cell for direct eliminination from the body resulting in a healthier cell.

According to Dr. Howard W. Fischer’s book Reishi Rescue R & R for Your Immune System, the accumulation of scientific findings through empirical and laboratory studies has demonstrated positive effects for Ganoderma Lucidum encompassing a diverse range of maladies in the central nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, endocrine system, immune system, respiratory system and skin and hair.

Many Doctors and Health Practitioners are switching their patients from regular caffeinated coffee, to this new healthy coffee because of the documented health benefits of Ganoderma Lucidum. Gano Caf helps the body fight disease the way nature intended and helps balance the body’s PH. Ganoderma Lucidum is said to help enhance health by removing toxins from the body and then building up the body’s immune system. For research articles on Ganoderma Lucidum, visit http://scholar.google.com or http://www.pubmed.com and type in Ganoderma.

A typical cup of coffee contains approximately 138 mg of caffeine. The unique blend of Ganoderma in this product neutralizes the caffeine dramatically to only 9 mg per cup, which is less caffeine per cup than decaf.

Skincare Ingredient Review: Coffee in Skin Care Products

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) November 3, 2007

Caffeine is a skin care ingredient that has made its debut over the last few years. Some studies have shown benefits, while others have castigated caffeine for its harmful consequences. So which is it? Skincare-News.com’s latest article, A Wake Me Up for Your Skin, gives readers the low-down on what to expect from beauty products containing caffeine.
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=456

Imagine having the option of indulging in a shower that gives the same buzz as a cup of coffee. Sold as a shower gel or soap, Shower Shock promises to provide people with a wake-me-up equivalent to two cups of caffeine by directly going into the skin. Unfortunately, according to thebeautybrains.com — cosmetic chemists who blog about beauty products — in order to soak up what amounts to one cup of coffee, it would be necessary to scrub the skin for one hour, minus the rinsing portion of the shower, writes Anna Jane Grossman for The New York Times. Not exactly a quick alternative

Oddly innovative and ineffective products aside, what about the beauty merchandise that make up our routine?

Grossman writes that caffeine’s properties, as a diuretic and stimulant, are the reasons companies are using the ingredient in skin care products. Rewind to 1999 when the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery published a study that found caffeine-based liposome-encapsulated cream reduced the thickness of fat, writes Grossman, and notice that afterwards, a slew of cellulite creams containing caffeine hit the market.

But, there’s no research showing that caffeine actually works on cellulite, says dermatologist Michelle Rivera, in an article in The Washingtonian. She adds, Caffeine is simply not absorbed by the skin. However, according to a recent study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 80% of women who used a caffeine solution for 30 days saw a reduction in skin dimpling, their skin appeared tighter, and they lost 2 cm off their thighs.

Cellulite creams, explains Linda Wells, Allure’s editor-in-chief, contain caffeine because it dehydrates fat cells, giving skin the appearance of smoothness. Caffeine may also reduce puffiness around the eyes and dark circles, says Wells. It works by draining excess lymph fluid and blood short-term.

Products with a coffee-like aroma are also common. But do these really give people the jolt they need? From lip-glosses to creams to scrubs, getting a whiff of these beauty products may make people feel more alert, but only because it’s a learned response for us to connect coffee with feeling energized.

Overall, it appears there isn’t a definitive answer one way or another. Thus far, research has yet to prove caffeine’s benefits for skin.

Crimson Cup offers all the benefits of a franchise, including experienced consulting, tested equipment and award-winning products, but without the fees and restrictions.

Hundreds of independent coffee shops keep buying from us because we deliver great-tasting coffee and coffee house products, supply high-quality equipment and supplies and provide effective marketing strategies and materials all of which contributes to their ongoing success.

(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
VARIETAL(S): Yellow Bourbon, Yellow Catua, Obat
