1. Espresso

When espresso hot water at high pressure through seven grams of ground coffee is pressed. The result is a small cup (typically 25 ml) with concentrated coffee that is rounded out by a floating foam layer, the crema. An espresso has more caffeine than five times greater amount of filter coffee. In the coffee usually gives his espresso with a glass of water.

2. Espresso Lungo

Espresso Lungo is a variant of espresso, but in double the amount of water, ie 50 ml are used. ”Lungo” means so much more “extended” as. The amount of ground coffee is the same as the espresso. Espresso Lungo is the basis for a cappuccino dar.

3. Ristretto

Ristretto, the Italian word for “limited” refers to a further variant of espresso, but in which only two thirds of the water that is used for an espresso, is thus used only 15 ml. Again, the amount of coffee powder, seven grams.

5. Cappuccino

7. Latte Macchiato

A latte macchiato is a latte similar, but contains more milk. It should consist of three layers, which do not mix before drinking. The lower layer is made of hot milk, the film about a house, and the upper layer of milk foam. The best way to reach the effect of the non-mixing of the layers by the espresso beigibt least because it is heavier than the milk foam, but lighter than the milk.

8. Corretto

“Corretto” is the Italian word “correct” for, and just say a type of espresso, the espresso in a spirit is added, for example, grappa, cognac or amaretto.

9. Wiener Melange

Top Ten Kaffeegenuss

Welcher Kaffee schmeckt mir am besten?

Kaffee ist das beliebteste Getränk der Deutschen, noch vor dem Bier und sogar vor Wasser. Die beliebtesten Bohnensorten sind Arabica mit 60% und Robusta mit 36% Weltmarktanteil.
Im Schnitt trinkt jeder Deutsche fast drei Tassen Kaffee pro Tag. Da der Mensch aber Vielfalt liebt, ist es längst nicht mehr der “einfache” Kaffee, der die Liebhaber des koffeinhaltigen Heißgetränks begeistert.
Es sind viele Sorten und Varianten, in denen Kaffee genossen werden kann. Kaffeevollautomaten machen es zudem einfach, sich einen Kaffee selbst zu machen, den man sonst nur im Kaffeehaus um die Ecke genießen kann.

Um einen Überblick darüber zu erlangen, wie vielfältig Kaffee getrunken werden kann, soll im Folgenden eine Auflistung der zehn beliebtesten Kaffeespezialitäten gegeben werden.

1. Espresso

Beim Espresso wird heißes Wasser mit hohem Druck durch sieben Gramm gemahlenen Kaffee gepresst. Das Ergebnis ist eine kleine Tasse (üblicherweise 25 ml) mit konzentriertem Kaffee, der abgerundet wird durch eine darauf schwimmende Schaumschicht, die Crema. Ein Espresso hat mehr Koffeinanteil als eine fünfmal größere Menge Filterkaffee. Im Kaffeehaus erhält man seinen Espresso üblicherweise mit einem Glas Wasser.

2. Espresso Lungo

Espresso Lungo ist eine Variante des Espresso, bei der allerdings die doppelte Menge an Wasser, also 50 ml, verwendet wird. “Lungo” bedeutet so viel wie “verlängert”. Die Menge an Kaffeepulver ist jedoch die gleiche wie beim Espresso. Espresso Lungo stellt die Basis für einen Cappucchino dar.

3. Ristretto

Ristretto, das italienische Wort für “beschränkt”, bezeichnet eine weitere Variante von Espresso, bei dem allerdings nur zwei Drittel des Wassers, das man für einen Espresso verwendet, also nur 15 ml, benutzt wird. Auch hier ist die Menge des Kaffeepulvers bei sieben Gramm.

4. Espresso Macchiato

Ein Espresso Macchiato, auch als Caffè Macchiato bekannt, ist ein Espresso, der mit ein wenig Milch vermengt und mit einer Haube aus Milchschaum verziert wird.

5. Cappuccino

Ein Cappucchino besteht zu gleichen Teilen aus einem Espresso Lungo (einem “verlängerten” Espresso) und heißer Milch. Auf dem Cappucchino befindet sich eine Schicht heißen Milchschaums. Normalerweise wird Cappucchino gesüßt getrunken und in einer vorgewärmten Tasse serviert.

6. Milchkaffee

Der Milchkaffee hat viele Namen: In Frankreich nennt man ihn Café au lait, in Italien Café Latte, und in Österreich und den Niederlanden heißt er Kaffee verkehrt. Normalerweise besteht ein Milchkaffee aus je einem Teil Kaffee und einem Teil Milch. Im italienischen Café Latte wird der Kaffee durch einen doppelten Espresso ersetzt. Selten gibt man eine Milchschaumkrone auf den Milchkafee, und üblicherweise trinkt man ihn zum Frühstück.

7. Latte Macchiato

Der Latte Macchiato ist dem Milchkaffee ähnlich, enthält aber mehr Milch. Er besteht aus drei Schichten, die sich vor dem Trinken nicht vermischen sollten. Die untere Schicht besteht aus heißer Milch, die Schicht darüber aus einem Espresso, und die obere Schicht aus Milchschaum. Am besten erreicht man den Effekt des Nicht-Vermischens der Schichten, indem man den Espresso zuletzt beigibt, da er schwerer ist als der Milchschaum, aber leichter als die Milch.

8. Corretto

“Corretto” ist das italienische Wort für “korrigieren”, und genauso heißt eine Art von Espresso, bei der dem Espresso eine Spirituose beigegeben wird, zum Beispiel Grappa, Cognac oder Amaretto.

9. Wiener Melange

Eine Wiener Melange ist eine regionale Kaffeespezialität aus Wien und bezeichnet eine jeweils gleichteilige Mischung aus Kaffee und aufgeschäumter Milch. Zunächst wird ein Achtelliter Kaffee in eine Tasse gegeben, dann die gleiche Menge an Milch. Anschließend wird die Wiener Melange mit Kakaopulver bestreut.

10. Café Mocha

Ein Café Mocha bezeichnet eine Kaffeespezialität mit heißer Schokolade. Hierbei werden zu drei gleichen Teilen Espresso, heiße Milch und heiße Schokolade, manchmal auch Schokoladensirup miteinander vermischt. Auf dem Café Mocha befindet sich üblicherweise eine Schicht Milchschaum.

Offensichtlich ist es nicht ganz einfach, aus diesem Variantenreichtum seine eigene Lieblingssorte herauszufinden. Die bequemste Art seinen Lieblingskaffee zu entdecken ist der eigene Kaffeevollautomat. Ganz nach Wunsch stellen diese Automaten auf Knopfdruck das gewünschte Getränk her. Bereits ab ca. 200,- € kann eine Kaffeepadmaschine von Krupszusammen mit etwas Handarbeit einen schmackhaften Espresso erstellen. Wem der Geldbeutel etwas lockerer sitzt, der kann natürlich auch einen Kaffeevollautomaten wie den WMF 1000 Pro für ca. 2800,- € wählen. Der kann dann 12 verschiedene Kaffeespezialitäten auf Knopfdruck in einer perfekten Qualität herstellen.

Review: Bunn My Cafe MC Model Pour Over Single Serve Coffee Pod Brewer

The BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is a modified single cup pour over brewer with a reservoir refreshed with each cup you brew by adding from 4 to 14 ozs of water each time you brew. The Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer uses coffee pods and tea pods and features both a standard brew mode and a pulse brew mode for tea and darker coffees. The BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is also very compact and has a stainless steel exterior. Unlike the older Bunn My Cafe this brewer comes with one pod drawer for brewing that can be used for tea and coffee.

Key features of the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer include:

Customize Your Cup – choose coffee or tea pod and choose your brew strengthAroma – Enjoy fresh coffee aroma with pods as they brewFast – Great hot coffee or tea in under a minuteBuilt to Last – 2 year limited warrantyPulse brew option – extracts bolder coffee flavor; preferred setting for teaPatented Jet Action Sprayhead – propels water through the pods to release flavor and aromaPod Drawer – compatible with hundreds of coffee and tea pods plus tea bagsStainless Steel Hot Water Tank – keeps water at 200F the right temperature to brew without bitternessThe Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer comes with an assortment of coffee pods and tea pods so you can start brewing right away.

bunn_coffee-pod_shot.jpg
You remove the drawer and the brewer will start to heat
up. Inserting the coffee pod is easy to do and you can
use the holder to compost it after use.

Trying a Variety of Coffee Pods and Coffee Roasts with the MC Model Bunn My Cafe

We tried all of the coffee pods and tea pods that came with the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer. We have to say the variety and selection was excellent. Anytime you can sample right from the box some of the best coffees you can get in coffee pod format makes us a true believer.

SDC11971.jpg

Some of the coffees included:

Reunion Island Coffee pods – Donut Shop, Vanilla Hazelnut, Sweet Unity Farms Mahale HIghlands and moreWolfgang Puck Coffee Pods – Sorrento BlendCity Steam Single Serve Gourmet Coffee Pods – Various blends including City RoastOrgana Tea Pods – English Breakfast and Others

We are dark coffee drinkers, and even a milder roast has to be really well brewed. There are two modes on the BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer and in just about every case we chose the pulse brew method. Why? Pre-wetting a coffee pod makes for a much better cup of coffee. You can pre-wet and use the non-pulse brew mode, but the pulse brew does it for you by first wetting a little, then pausing, and doing this several times until you get a rich cup of coffee. We think the pulse mode is the way to go for most coffee drinkers.

SDC11979.jpg

The non-pulse mode is also great for just making a cup of hot water, and using it for something like hot cocoa. We also did find light coffee drinkers preferred this mode with a french roast coffee. They got the extraction and flavor but the coffee was not as dark.

How good is the coffee?

Hot and good. The head brew temp claims to be 200 F in the tank, and we found at the brew head exit this to be in the 197+ range. So that means inside at the coffee extraction point we have a really high temperature at around 200 F. The coffee extraction on all levels is well – stunning. The flavors from the coffee pods are rich and delicious and have regular brewed coffee notes.

SDC11982.jpg

We did some cross comparison with the Wolfgang Puck Sorrento Blend K-Cups and the Wolfgand Puck Sorrrent Blend coffee pods and found the coffee pod flavor to come out just a little ahead.

SDC11992.jpg

Composting Coffee Pods and Tea Pods

We think you’ll like how eco-friendly coffee pods are. You an compost just about any coffee pod as it’s just paper and coffee grounds. You’ll want to get a coffee pod trash can like this one. It will help you make sure you recycle those coffee pods.

The Power On Feature of the Bunn My Cafe MC Model

This is the one feature you have to get used to and takes about 1/2 a day. There is no “power switch” the brewer goes into standby mode after 6 hours and keep the water in the tank on demand hot for that time. After it goes into standby mode when you pull out the coffee pod drawer the brewer heats up and is ready for use in a few minutes. At first we were used to having our brewer have a shut off but then after the day and many days after that – we were really into this.

SDC11989.jpg We also tried the Dunkin Donut coffee pods. Result?
Excellent cup of Dunkin. Excellent.

First of all the water tank is small and keeping it hot is like having an instant hot dispenser so not that eco-unfriendly. And secondly we love how quick we can get another cup.

Conclusions

We really have to say there’s little not to like about the coffee pod brewer from Bunn. The MC Model My Cafe from BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is really hard to beat for a little coffee pod brewer that creates amazingly rich coffee. We love the foot print and think you’ll like the results from the brewer.

Pros

Small footprintTwo brew modes for light and darker coffeeOn demand coffee brewing with 8 oz pour over methodGreat extraction on coffees and teas100s of coffee and tea pods can now be yours to brewEasy to use coffee pods and coffee pod drawerSimple ControlsCoffee in about a minute when the brewer is onFresh coffee or tea each time because you always fill with new water and keep the brewer reservoir in a cycle

Cons

No water reservoir – you have to pour over a cup each time (for some a pro for others a con).

We want to thank Bunn for providing the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer to review.

The suggested retail on the BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is $99.99 to $139.99.

How does the coffee compare head-to-head with the older BUNN MCP or MCA pod brewer?
Posted by: Eric B. at December 3, 2010 9:29 AM We think right on par.
Posted by: Jay Brewer at December 3, 2010 9:34 AM Does this unit allow the use of LARGE pods? Oh, and can you make a single brew cycle generate a cup of coffee larger than 8oz?
Posted by: B.S. at December 3, 2010 10:07 PM Yes, it will, up to 14 oz. of water. The unit will also take a 12 g. pod easily plus your own homemade pods.
Posted by: Pat at December 4, 2010 3:34 PM I was ready to throw my cash at the MC to replace my Senseo, until I read the part about no water reservoir. With that, would this have been a good replacement for the Senseo (original)?

Chemex and Coava Metal Cone Filter Make Perfect Coffee Together

500x_coavakone.jpg

If you’ve never used a Chemex pour over coffee maker, than you’re not used to the worst part of using a coffee maker with filter papers. The problem? Just like with every single cup of coffee you brew using your Keurig, Senseo, Tassimo, or others is you have to throw away the filter. The Coava Kone eliminates this when using a Chemix coffee maker, allowing you to reuse Coava’s photochemically etched metal Kone filter for every pot.

51p5e-LSSUL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
The Chemex one cup and a little more single serve
coffee maker.

Coffee brewed via Chemex using a filter paper is noted for it’s clarity, but when you use a coffee cone filter like the Coava you get more a french press mix.

NYT’s Oliver Strand:

“It gives you the control of a Chemex and the tannic cup you get from a French press: a Frenchmex…it was strange to find such an aggressive coffee sitting in my Chemex. It was like pulling the top off a bamboo steam basket and encountering a piece of grilled meat.”

We’re anxious to dig out our Chemex coffee maker and acquire one of these Coava cones. Wish us luck on the pursuit, and we’ll tell you how the coffee is when it arrives.

Starbucks Via Ready Single Serve Instant Hot Beverage Machine

starbucksreadybrewer_bodum_via1.jpg

Starbucks working with Bodum has debuted the Starbucks Via Ready Single Serve Instant Hot Beverage Machine. The VIA instant coffee machine comes with a travel coffee mug, and makes instant coffee in 3 steps.

Add water to the machine in the amount you wantPour in your favorite packet of Starbucks VIA coffeePut the mug under the water spout and press the button for hot water used to brew up the VIAstarbucksreadybrewer_bodum_via3.jpg

This is really nothing more than a hot water dispenser with travel mug, and if you wanted to use it for tea or other purposes it will work just fine. It’s interesting Starbucks didn’t make another VIA format to match the brewer, but then again why complicate matters. We’ll pick one of these machines up soon to have the at home VIA single serve coffee experience. We also couldn’t find any references to the machine at Bodum or the main Starbucks site and found this just sitting in the store window.

Review: Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers

Review Single Serve Coffeesolofill_packaging.jpg

The Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers is like the My K-Cup reusable filter or EZ Cup that allows you to use your own coffee instead of using just K-Cups. Using the Solofill is really easy, because unlike the My K-Cup reusable coffee filter, you do not have to take out the brew sleeve in your Keurig brewer. Like a K-Cup the Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers fits in the brew slot where you’d normally put a K-Cup.

Key Features of the Solofill Cup:

No need to remove or swap out the filter holder.No filter to replace!Reusable – Environmentally friendly.Save money while reducing our environmental impact!Use your own favorite gourmet coffee.Easy to use – Simple 2 steps process.Innovative Octaflo-Plus hot water distribution system for a superior tasting cup of gourmet coffee.Easy clean up – Unique one piece design with integrated hinged lid and stainless steel micro mesh filter for easy clean-up.Brewing a Cup of Coffee with the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter

We’ve been using the Solofill over the past 3 weeks, and right away we found the Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers is easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee. We also really liked hot easy the flip top-lid was to open and close, along with it being attached. No more lost lids, and the color being red is also excellent as we didn’t throw it away because we were used to throwing away K-cups.

Brewing a cup of coffee using your Keurig brewer was very easy. You simply open the flip top of the Solofill, fill with your favorite coffee, close the lid, and put it in the Keurig brewer K-Cup slot. The lid is self tamping, so all you need to do is close it and you’re good to go. Next you’ll have a pretty amazing cup of coffee using your own coffee.

IMG_8391.jpg
Before filling you have an empty brew sleeve. 41YMlsMtPjL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
Fill with your favorite coffee. We’d use our own shot but taking
a picture with two hands filled is challenging. :-) IMG_8392.jpg
Insert into the Keurig brewer K-Cup slot. IMG_8395.jpg
Brew and enjoy your cup of Solofill filtered coffee.

We found different grinds to produce better results – the finer grinds tended to work the best with the darker roasts. We settled in a on a French Roast from our local Whole Foods and found the coffee tasted amazing. We did a side by side comparison using our Aeropress, and found the coffee to be on par with the Aeropress coming out ahead.

The Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers has an “octoflow” path that the water flows over the beans. The extraction is produces is excellent, even resulting in a little coffee froth at the end (not froth or crema but good stuff). We also found after brewing clean up was a breeze. Simply pop open the top, and wash out the grinds.

Trying Coffee Pods in the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter

We did try puncturing a coffee pod and using it in the Solofill. Results were mixed but dumping out the contents of a coffee pod did produce good results, however this defeats the purpose. If you’re going to attempt to use a coffee pod stick in the 7-9gram range and puncture it at the top so the water can brew through. As with everything you try – try again and you’ll get better results as you figure out what works with the pods you have. The Solofill however is made to work with ground coffee, not punctured coffee pods but it was worth a try.

Conclusions

We really love this little gadget for our Keurig brewer. Like the My K-Cup Reusable Filter, and the EZ Cup it allows you to use either ground coffee or coffee pods in your Keurig brewer. We think if you like having a little experimentation in your single serve coffee life, then you’ll enjoy the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee filter.

Thanks again to Robert from Solofill for sending us the Solofill to review.

I’ve found the Solofill to be far superior to the MyKCup – less hassle since you don’t have to remove the insert and screw around with a separate filter basket. It’s superior to the E-Z cup too – with the cost of the E-Z Cup filters, you might as well buy the regular K-Cups. Solofill is nice if the flavour doesn’t exist in a K-cup or you have extra time. From a time standpoint, or if you’re pumping out multiple cups for a crowd, processed K-Cups are still the most convenient. Then again, if the price keeps creeping up, you’ve got an awesome second option with the Solofill.
Posted by: Purcell at December 10, 2010 1:11 PM Will this also work in the Cusinart SS770?
Posted by: Geoffrey Chambers at December 12, 2010 11:15 AM Your picture shows the Cuisinart Brewer using this SoloFill, but both Amazon’s page and the SoloFill site say that this is not compatible w/ the Cuisinart. I had this ordered from Amazon but cancelled the order because I was afraid it wasn’t going to work in our machine? Can you confirm it does work with the Cuisinart?
Posted by: Rebecca at December 12, 2010 1:53 PM I am using the solofill without any problems in my cuisinart brewer. Not sure which model my brewer is, but it looks just like the one in the photograph and was purchased from costco last month.
Posted by: Jon Clayton at December 16, 2010 8:45 AM K-cups are punctured on their bottom by the coffee machine. How does this not damage the coffee maker. What happens to the bottom spike when this is put in the machine.
Posted by: Donna at December 18, 2010 12:39 AM I received both a Cuisinart SS770 Brewing System and a SoloFill Cup for Christmas and I love them both! I was experimenting and used the SoloFill to brew iced tea using Lipton tea bags. I cut open and emptied out the contents of the bags into the SoloFill cup. It worked perfectly! The only issue I have (and this is probably why SoloFill does not specifically list the cups as compatible with Cuisinart SS770s) is that the head of the machine does not close/lower fully. The machine thinks that the head is closed though, as the screen reads “Ready”. I checked the fit to make sure that it is not putting any stress on the top or bottom needles, as I was afraid of damaging them, but I really don’t think the SoloFill is coming into contact with either of them. I think what is preventing the head from closing all the way is that diameter of the hole in the top of the SoloFill cup is not large enough to accommodate the diameter of the rubbery gasket around the upper needle of the machine.
Posted by: Laura at December 26, 2010 5:16 PM Looking forward to receiving one of these, as Keurig’s own MyKCup was a complete disaster and I have returned mine. I should not have to jerryrig the KCup as your other readers have suggested elsewhere.
Posted by: LAprGuy at December 28, 2010 12:51 PM Tried to order one direct from their webpage and it was out of stock until 1/3. Ordered from Amazon and it won’t arrive until 1/31-2/6. Whoever is producing these needs a larger operation. High demand and no supply. I can go buy a “my k-cup” at any BB and B or Best Buy today. All that said, there must be a reason why they’re selling out and this is the only product of it’s type I’ve seen with all positive reviews and no catastrophic defects.

Which coffee tastes best to me?

Top Ten Coffee

Which coffee tastes best to me?

for German language Translation see below

Coffee is the most popular drink of the Germans, even before the beer and even from water. The most popular types of beans are Arabica and Robusta 60% with 36% market share.
On average, almost every German drinks three cups of coffee per day. Since man but loves diversity, it is no longer the “simple” coffee that has inspired lovers of caffeinated hot beverage.
There are many varieties and variations, in which coffee can be enjoyed. Coffee machines also make it easy to make yourself a coffee, which you can enjoy otherwise only in the cafe around the corner.
To gain an overview of the diversity of coffee can be drunk, to the following is a list of the ten most popular coffees will be given.

1. Espresso

When espresso hot water at high pressure through seven grams of ground coffee is pressed. The result is a small cup (typically 25 ml) with concentrated coffee that is rounded out by a floating foam layer, the crema. An espresso has more caffeine than five times greater amount of filter coffee. In the coffee usually gives his espresso with a glass of water.

2. Espresso Lungo

Espresso Lungo is a variant of espresso, but in double the amount of water, ie 50 ml are used. ”Lungo” means so much more “extended” as. The amount of ground coffee is the same as the espresso. Espresso Lungo is the basis for a cappuccino dar.

3. Ristretto

Ristretto, the Italian word for “limited” refers to a further variant of espresso, but in which only two thirds of the water that is used for an espresso, is thus used only 15 ml. Again, the amount of coffee powder, seven grams.

4. Espresso Macchiato

An espresso macchiato, caffè macchiato as well known, is an espresso that is mixed with a little milk and decorated with a topping of milk foam.

5. Cappuccino

A cappuccino is equal parts of an espresso lungo (an “extended” espresso) and hot milk. On the cappuccino is a layer of hot milk foam. Normally cappuccino is drunk sweetened and served in a warmed cup.

6. Latte

The latte has many names: in France it is called café au lait, cafe latte in Italy, and Austria and the Netherlands, he is wrong coffee. Normally a latte of one part coffee and one part milk. In the Italian café latte, the coffee is replaced by a double espresso.Rarely is it a milk foam on the Milchkafee, and usually drink it for breakfast.

7. Latte Macchiato

A latte macchiato is a latte similar, but contains more milk. It should consist of three layers, which do not mix before drinking. The lower layer is made of hot milk, the film about a house, and the upper layer of milk foam. The best way to reach the effect of the non-mixing of the layers by the espresso beigibt least because it is heavier than the milk foam, but lighter than the milk.

8. Corretto

Top Ten Kaffeegenuss

Welcher Kaffee schmeckt mir am besten?

Kaffee ist das beliebteste Getränk der Deutschen, noch vor dem Bier und sogar vor Wasser. Die beliebtesten Bohnensorten sind Arabica mit 60% und Robusta mit 36% Weltmarktanteil.
Im Schnitt trinkt jeder Deutsche fast drei Tassen Kaffee pro Tag. Da der Mensch aber Vielfalt liebt, ist es längst nicht mehr der “einfache” Kaffee, der die Liebhaber des koffeinhaltigen Heißgetränks begeistert.
Es sind viele Sorten und Varianten, in denen Kaffee genossen werden kann. Kaffeevollautomaten machen es zudem einfach, sich einen Kaffee selbst zu machen, den man sonst nur im Kaffeehaus um die Ecke genießen kann.

Um einen Überblick darüber zu erlangen, wie vielfältig Kaffee getrunken werden kann, soll im Folgenden eine Auflistung der zehn beliebtesten Kaffeespezialitäten gegeben werden.

1. Espresso

Beim Espresso wird heißes Wasser mit hohem Druck durch sieben Gramm gemahlenen Kaffee gepresst. Das Ergebnis ist eine kleine Tasse (üblicherweise 25 ml) mit konzentriertem Kaffee, der abgerundet wird durch eine darauf schwimmende Schaumschicht, die Crema. Ein Espresso hat mehr Koffeinanteil als eine fünfmal größere Menge Filterkaffee. Im Kaffeehaus erhält man seinen Espresso üblicherweise mit einem Glas Wasser.

2. Espresso Lungo

Espresso Lungo ist eine Variante des Espresso, bei der allerdings die doppelte Menge an Wasser, also 50 ml, verwendet wird. “Lungo” bedeutet so viel wie “verlängert”. Die Menge an Kaffeepulver ist jedoch die gleiche wie beim Espresso. Espresso Lungo stellt die Basis für einen Cappucchino dar.

3. Ristretto

Ristretto, das italienische Wort für “beschränkt”, bezeichnet eine weitere Variante von Espresso, bei dem allerdings nur zwei Drittel des Wassers, das man für einen Espresso verwendet, also nur 15 ml, benutzt wird. Auch hier ist die Menge des Kaffeepulvers bei sieben Gramm.

4. Espresso Macchiato

Ein Espresso Macchiato, auch als Caffè Macchiato bekannt, ist ein Espresso, der mit ein wenig Milch vermengt und mit einer Haube aus Milchschaum verziert wird.

5. Cappuccino

Ein Cappucchino besteht zu gleichen Teilen aus einem Espresso Lungo (einem “verlängerten” Espresso) und heißer Milch. Auf dem Cappucchino befindet sich eine Schicht heißen Milchschaums. Normalerweise wird Cappucchino gesüßt getrunken und in einer vorgewärmten Tasse serviert.

6. Milchkaffee

Der Milchkaffee hat viele Namen: In Frankreich nennt man ihn Café au lait, in Italien Café Latte, und in Österreich und den Niederlanden heißt er Kaffee verkehrt. Normalerweise besteht ein Milchkaffee aus je einem Teil Kaffee und einem Teil Milch. Im italienischen Café Latte wird der Kaffee durch einen doppelten Espresso ersetzt. Selten gibt man eine Milchschaumkrone auf den Milchkafee, und üblicherweise trinkt man ihn zum Frühstück.

7. Latte Macchiato

Der Latte Macchiato ist dem Milchkaffee ähnlich, enthält aber mehr Milch. Er besteht aus drei Schichten, die sich vor dem Trinken nicht vermischen sollten. Die untere Schicht besteht aus heißer Milch, die Schicht darüber aus einem Espresso, und die obere Schicht aus Milchschaum. Am besten erreicht man den Effekt des Nicht-Vermischens der Schichten, indem man den Espresso zuletzt beigibt, da er schwerer ist als der Milchschaum, aber leichter als die Milch.

8. Corretto

“Corretto” ist das italienische Wort für “korrigieren”, und genauso heißt eine Art von Espresso, bei der dem Espresso eine Spirituose beigegeben wird, zum Beispiel Grappa, Cognac oder Amaretto.

9. Wiener Melange

Eine Wiener Melange ist eine regionale Kaffeespezialität aus Wien und bezeichnet eine jeweils gleichteilige Mischung aus Kaffee und aufgeschäumter Milch. Zunächst wird ein Achtelliter Kaffee in eine Tasse gegeben, dann die gleiche Menge an Milch. Anschließend wird die Wiener Melange mit Kakaopulver bestreut.

10. Café Mocha

Ein Café Mocha bezeichnet eine Kaffeespezialität mit heißer Schokolade. Hierbei werden zu drei gleichen Teilen Espresso, heiße Milch und heiße Schokolade, manchmal auch Schokoladensirup miteinander vermischt. Auf dem Café Mocha befindet sich üblicherweise eine Schicht Milchschaum.

Offensichtlich ist es nicht ganz einfach, aus diesem Variantenreichtum seine eigene Lieblingssorte herauszufinden. Die bequemste Art seinen Lieblingskaffee zu entdecken ist der eigene Kaffeevollautomat. Ganz nach Wunsch stellen diese Automaten auf Knopfdruck das gewünschte Getränk her. Bereits ab ca. 200,- € kann eine Kaffeepadmaschine von Krupszusammen mit etwas Handarbeit einen schmackhaften Espresso erstellen. Wem der Geldbeutel etwas lockerer sitzt, der kann natürlich auch einen Kaffeevollautomaten wie den WMF 1000 Pro für ca. 2800,- € wählen. Der kann dann 12 verschiedene Kaffeespezialitäten auf Knopfdruck in einer perfekten Qualität herstellen.

Going Green By Choosing Organic Coffee

Nowadays, we have all been interested in all things organic. From the food we eat to the ingredients in our toiletries and makeup, organic products have become our option for healthy living. And for this very same reason, organic coffee has been introduced to the public.

But what is organic coffee? What makes it different from regular coffee? What will we get when we choose organic over regular coffee?

First of all, organic coffee is still coffee but has been grown according to the organic farming techniques and standards. This means that no artificial fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides were used in growing this specific high quality coffee. Such methods that were used in cultivating organic coffee include building healthy soil through terracing, composting, and even inter-cropping. At the same time, organic farmers make use of biological pest control and are moving towards a goal of sustainability for the water, soil, and ecosystem which they use.

There are three main factors which benefit from organic coffee. The first person who benefits from this is us, the consumers. Even if it isn’t coffee we buy, as long as it’s organic, we are choosing the best ingredients already. And when we drink organic coffee, we can guarantee that no chemicals or synthetics have been used. It also helps that we have made a good decision that helps the environment and our social surroundings.

The farmers also get a benefit once organic coffee is bought as they can use the money to produce a new batch again. But the biggest benefit goes to our environment, as organic farming supports the long term availability of the supply of water and soil. It also helps the earth by not using those harmful chemicals and pesticides. Now, even those who are avid coffee drinkers can enjoy their cup of Joe without worrying they are putting their health and the environment in danger.

Boresha Coffee is a USA Company bringing quality organic coffee to the United States. They have certified USDA Organic and OCIA (Organic Crop Improvement Association) processes and are even “Fair Trade Certified”.

Information On The Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony

The Ethiopian coffee ceremony is very important in the Ethiopian culture. The coffee ceremony will be performed when friends visit, during celebrations, or simply as a part of the daily routine. It is so important to how the Ethiopians view coffee that most Ethiopian restaurants will have the coffee ceremony performed for you at your table.

The Ethiopian coffee ritual takes the participants through the entire coffee preparation process. Whether you are witnessing the ritual in a restaurant or lucky enough to participate in someone’s home, the green coffee beans will be brought to your table by a woman. She will wash the beans, and then start a fire in a small open roasting furnace.

The washed beans will be put into a small pan with a long handle and held over the fire. The woman preparing the beans will shake the pan back and forth, like an old-fashioned popcorn maker. This keeps the bean from burning. Some people have described the sound of the shaking beans as similar to shaking coins in a tin can. Once the beans are roasted, the preparer takes the pan and walks around the room, filling the room with the enticing aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Experiencing the sounds and smells is an important part of the ritual.

The next step in the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is to grind the freshly roasted beans. In restaurants, they may use an electric grinder to speed up the process. Traditionally, the beans will be ground in a small tool called a mukecha (pronounced moo-key-cha). The mukecha is a very heavy wooden bowl. The beans are poured inside, and then crushed with a zenezena, which is a wooden or metal stick that is used in an up and down motion, rather like a mortar and pestle.

The ground coffee is then put into a traditional clay pot called a jebena (pronounced jay-ben-ah). Water is added, and then the pot is put over heat until the coffee boils. The scent of the boiling coffee again fills the room, tempting the senses of all the participants of the ritual.

Coffee prepared in the Ethiopian coffee ritual is then served in small ceramic cups resembling the small cups you see in Chinese restaurants for tea. The cups are arranged on a tray very close together, and the coffee is poured from one cup to another in a single pour from the pot. This is a very important step, even if some sloshes onto the tray. If the server poured each cup individually, the coffee grounds would get mixed up with the liquid, resulting in gritty coffee. With the single pour method, the coffee remains free of the sediment.

Once you’ve taken your first sip, you’ve witnessed the full life-cycle of making coffee, from washing the raw beans, through roasting, grinding, and boiling the coffee. If you’re in a restaurant, the ceremony usually ends here. Traditionally, second and third servings are often prepared as well. Each serving has its own name: the first serving is called Abol, the second serving is called Huletegna, and the third serving is called Bereka. Once you’ve reached this stage, you have completed the Ethiopian coffee ceremony.

Starting A Successful Vending Machine Business

One thing almost every business has in common is that their people like to eat. Regardless of the size of the business, everyone gets hungry at some point during the day. Many professional offices today are set up in refurbished homes and most have a kitchen in which their employees can eat lunch or grab a snack during the day. The problem with this set up is that someone from the business has to run to the store for supplies occasionally.


Offering your shopping service to business may require you to visit the business and take stock of their food inventories before heading to the store or you can have someone call or fax in an order and you can go shopping and replenish their food supply. They may also have a coffee service along with frozen or refrigerated meals and a microwave and if not, you can offer the suggestion and possibly increase your business.


Vending machines are not longer the sole property of large companies. An individual can buy their own vending machines and install them in many different types of businesses such as auto repair shops, small factories and the break rooms of nearly every type of business. Merchandise to sell in vending machines can be bought at wholesale through shopping clubs and if you keep the prices reasonable, the turn of the merchandise can quickly turn your machines into a profitable business.


The trick to operating a successful vending machine business is to keep the product fresh as any out of date food items that remain will quickly cause you to lose the right to keep the machines in place. Fast response to any complaints or a malfunctioning machine will also help keep your machines producing an income. While one or two machines may help you get this business started, having several large and small vending machines will quickly add to your profits.


The food service industry has come a long way since the days of trucks driving around to factories with hot and cold sandwiches and drinks. There are many ready to eat microwavable meals that can be purchased at wholesale and resold to businesses for their employees. A word of caution on food service however, is that you should only buy from reputable suppliers and make sure that all food safety steps are taken. Someone getting sick from eating a sandwich that has gone bad will quickly kill your business and you bank account.


There are numerous opportunities in the food service industry catering to businesses and by talking to the employees their needs can be better addressed. While a business owner or manager may believe they know what their employees want, it is the workers dropping their coins into the machine and it is their needs being met that will make your business successful.
