Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2004

Barefoot Coffee Roasters is honored to have Dominic Taylor and Andy Newbom (Barefoot owner) representing the Bay Area in the United States Barista Championship held in Atlanta, GA April 23rd through the 26th 2004. Taylor and Newbom are the only Bay Area Baristas to be honored to participate in this prestigious national competition. The winner of the U.S. Barista Championship receives an all expense paid trip to Trieste, Italy for the World Barista Championships June 18-20, 2004.

The 2004 United States Barista Championship (USBC) will be held at the SCAA conference over the course of four days. The event is designed to encourage and recognize professional achievement in the art of espresso beverage preparation and service. Fifty-five of the top Barista Competitors from across the country will prepare and serve 12 coffee beverages — one espresso, one cappuccino and one specialty drink of their own creation, for each of the four sensory and four technical judges, in a space of 15 minutes. The USBC and the awards ceremony are also open to spectators and press. Visit this website for more info on the USBC: http://www.scaa.org/conference/events_barista.asp

Or this site for information on the World Barista Championship http://www.worldbaristachampionship.com/

The Barista competitions are akin to the Iron Chef of the coffee world. Imagine striving to produce espresso perfection twelve times in a row for eight perfectionist and knowledgeable judges watching every move like a harpy eagle in less than 15 minutes. All this while being broadcast on jumbo video screens for all to see and answering interview questions the entire time. I was a chef for six years working in a display cooking kitchen in high end restaurants. Andy Newbom explained. And I never experienced the kind of pressure, stress and satisfaction that I got from my first Barista competition. It is the most stressful, gut wrenching but intensely satisfying and pleasing event I have done.

Andy Newbom competed in the first western regional Barista Competition in 2002 but this is the first time he has made it to the nationals.

This will be Dominics first Barista competition. I have watched a few of the Barista Competitions and now I am honored to be asked to compete at the highest level. I am excited but also really, really nervous. Dominic excitedly expressed. Its sort of like the Coffee Olympics with all the pressure, glory and competitor camaraderie of a great competition.

Introudction To Gourmet Coffee

Edit Article |

The word Gourmet is used to refer to the fancier grade, cut, or quality of many of the foods and beverages we consume. Gourmet foods and drinks have long been associated as the regular fare for the rich and famous who can afford the higher pricing that often accompanies many of these finer food and beverage versions. Coffee is a beverage that has been available in cheap, regular and gourmet versions for a long time and the consumption rate of coffee among people from around the world continues to increase every year. Gourmet coffee may have once only been served in the finest dining establishments and found being served mostly in the homes of the upper class, but gourmet coffee is widely available and affordable to a variety of people and is found in a variety of settings today.

Coffee is made from coffee beans which are found within the berries that develop and ripen on a number of smaller evergreen bush plant species known as the Coffea plant. After ripening, coffee berries are harvested, and then undergo a processing which also includes drying them. It is the coffee beans that remain after the processing and drying of the coffee berries. The beans are then roasted to various degrees which cause them to change physically and in the tastes they produce. Finally, the coffee beans are grinded down into a fine consistency that is commonly known as coffee grounds, and packaged and shipped to destinations around the world where consumers can buy and brew coffee grounds to make coffee in commercial, hospitality, institutional, and residential settings. Some people prefer to grind their own coffee beans before brewing them for coffee. Packaged coffee beans that have not been ground can be purchased in stores and ground using the grinding mills that are made available in most of the stores selling them, but also with grinding machines in the home.

The two most commercially grown species of the coffea plant that produce the coffee beans used to make the coffee that the world’s population consumes, are Robusta and Arabica. Gourmet coffee is made from the top tier coffee beans from the arabica coffea plant. These top tier arabica coffea plants are typically grown at very high altitudes (above 3000ft) with ideal soil and climate conditions. The coffee beans produced have fuller flavors, are more aromatic, and have less caffeine in them than other varieties of coffee beans such as Robustas. The coffee beans of arabica coffea plants grown at lower altitudes are still noted among consumers as having richer flavors than the flavors produced by Robusta coffee beans, but it is only the top tier arabica coffee beans that are considered to be Gourmet, and thereby from which gourmet coffee is derived.

Coffee bean grounds and coffee beans that have not been grinded down need to be stored in air-tight containers and kept cool in order to protect them from losing their flavor. The containers that coffee is typically sold in are not the most ideal for storing coffee for a long period of time. When you arrive home after purchasing coffee grounds at the store, consider transferring the fresh coffee grounds to appropriate storage containers to extend its shelf life and full flavor.

Coffee can be brewed in many ways such as boiling, pressuring, and steeping. Most of us brew our coffee using automatic coffee brewing machines and percolators which use gravity to pull hot water through coffee grounds where the hot water mixed with the oils and essences of the coffee grounds empties into a liquid holding container below. Filters are used to keep coffee granules from being emptied into the carafe or liquid holding container from which the brewed coffee can then be served from because most people do not want to drink the coffee granules. Coffee granules can be very bitter once the flavor able oils and essences have been removed through the brewing process. Plants and flowers love coffee grounds though for anybody who is looking for a greener alternative of what to do with coffee grounds after brewing instead of just throwing them in the trash.

Of course, Gourmet coffee beans are only the beginning to creating a truly gourmet coffee experience for many gourmet coffee drinkers. Some people are quite content with drinking their gourmet coffee black, without adding anything like milk, creamer, sugar or other sweeteners or flavorings, to their coffee. While many others want to enhance their gourmet coffee and drinking experience with tasty additions like milk that is whipped into a froth, sweeteners, and mixing in other flavors like chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and mint, to name just a few. Big name coffee chains sell a wide variety of gourmet coffee with different tasty additions and flavors to appeal to gourmet coffee lovers. However, brewing gourmet coffee at home is usually much cheaper, and you can add what you want to your coffee to satisfy your refined, gourmet tastes.

Three Types of Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

If you are thinking of treating adults to something more different and enchanting, think of chocolate covered coffee beans. To come up with this specialty, the chocolate and the coffee bean have to blend perfectly to produce that favorite taste. These products are not suitable for young children because coffee contains caffeine. This could affect the kids by making them lose sleep and increase their activity. Roasted coffee beans have a bitter taste thus not a specialty for the children. Though when blended with chocolate, flavor changes due to the sweet taste of chocolate. One would choose varieties of quality beans in order to come up with best products of candies.

 

For all the guys who enjoy very strong coffee, the brand of sweets from espresso beans would do them much good. Due to their strong flavor within them, these high quality seeds store a lot of caffeine in them. Thus, one who consumes these kinds of sweets may find staying awake almost all night. Once the beans are roasted, you then immerse them in molten chocolate giving them that bittersweet taste towards the center of the candy. The chocolate enhances the taste by making it somehow tolerable and is quite fantastic for the lovers of great coffee. Other people like to have less strong coffee and the best choice would be from Costa Rica. Their high quality beans produce nice chocolate covered coffee beans with less caffeine thus one will have the chance to sleep well like a baby. Lastly, the other variety of candy has coffee beans with the most concentration of caffeine. This is particularly best for all who hate taking coffee in liquid form. These are also good if you are going for an outing.

 

Preparing the sweets is as simple as dipping the beans in chocolate after it has melted. Immediately, you will get the treat you wanted the only thing left is to store them well in air tight containers. Therefore, you see that once you purchase the best coffee seeds that you love, the next thing is just making your bonbon. If you choose to buy the ready made ones, then know that they also come in different of types of chocolate coating ranging from the dark, milk and the white. One has not run out of options and you will definitely get what appeases you.

 

With these kinds of sweets, one does not have to be in a festive mood to have them. You may use them as snacks when you need to revitalize your body ready for work. One may also use some of them as the last thing after dinner. The only thing you need to take care of is the brand of beans that you choose. If you wish to rest at night, do not go for the product that has lots of caffeine. Remember also not to give your children chocolate covered coffee bean. They are best for the grown-ups delights only. Try them and you have something to look forward to satisfy your desire.

Ever wonder where the coffee beans in your morning coffee come from? You probably know words like Arabica and Robusta in terms of taste, but did you know that these words can also tell us where those coffees were grown? Here is a look at three of the world’s best specialty coffees and the regions in which they originated. Read on to discover the rich history of these coffees.

Yemen Arabian Mocca

Grown in the mountainous region of Sanani in south Yemen at an altitude in excess of 4,500 ft, Arabian Mocca is the world’s oldest cultivated coffee, distinguished by its richness and full body with chocolate undertones. Yemen is on Asia’s Arabian peninsula, a stone’s throw from Africa. Since there are no other Arabian coffees, it is classified as part of the family tastes of North African coffees.

It is here that the term “mocca” was coined. Its correct spelling is Mokha, for the port city that Yemen coffees ship from. Yemen’s arid climate contributes to the production of one of the best-loved specialty coffees that led Europeans to fall in love with coffee many centuries ago.

Yemeni coffee is one of the most distinct and prized coffees in the world. It’s been called a “wild” or natural cup, earthy, complex, pungent — to some it may be strange and bitter. This coffee can also be characterized as dry, winey, and acidic with chocolate and fruit undertones, rustic flavors, and intense aromas.

Mexico “Spirit of the Aztec”

The state of Veracruz produces many average coffees in its low-lying regions, but atop the tall mountains near the city of Coatepec an excellent Arabica bean coffee called Altura Coatepec reigns. The word Altura itself means “high grown”. Altura Pluma indicates the finest coffee of Mexico. Coetepec, a coffee district of Veracruz, provides particularly outstanding coffee beans. Mexican Altura beans have a full medium body, fine acidity, a wonderful bouquet and a satisfying flavor that is mild and sweet. This fine Mexican coffee is noted for delivering a consistently smooth taste and fragrant flavor with good body, depth, and overall balance. It is likely one of the most underappreciated coffees around.

Mexican coffee botanists celebrate Mexico’s highest altitudes (with their approximately one hundred species of Arabica coffee plants) as the finest region of all the world’s gourmet coffees. An inferior grade of coffee bean known Robusta grows at lower altitudes. Mexico itself produces huge quantities of these unremarkable coffee beans, often utilized as dark roasts, supermarket coffees and beans for blending.

Arabica coffee arrived in Mexico at the start of the nineteenth century from the West Indies. Today, Mexico ranks among the world’s top coffee exporters. Most Mexican coffee is processed by the wet method to ensure better acidity and body. Mexican coffee is graded based on the altitude where it is grown. The plantations of Veracruz account for 60 to 70 percent of the Mexican coffee crop. Approximately 5 million bags of coffee a year originate in Mexico. Most of the better beans are grown on large plantations in the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Guerrero. These are producers of “high-grown” Altura Coatepec coffees, among the finest coffees grown in the Americas.

Their flavor is light and nutty with medium acidity and a mild, well-balanced body. With a fine chocolate tang and a hint of sweet undertone beneath the finish, these coffees make an ideal beverage for those of us who enjoy a smooth, mellow-tasting brew that is not overpowering. Altura’s smoothness produces many loyalists of the coffee drinkers who sample it. Mexican Altura Coatepec is an incredible morning coffee, as it could be used in a blend to tone down accompanying fuller-bodied coffees, or better yet, alone for the pure regional flavor.

Java “Dutch Estate”

As a synonym of coffee, “java” introduced itself in the seventeenth century when the Dutch began cultivating coffee trees on the island of Java (part of the islands of Indonesia) and successfully exported it globally. Often the standard by which all other coffees are measured, Java’s finest golden beans are roasted to yield a piquant aroma, displaying an exquisite acid balance, a heavy body with chocolate undertones, and a lighter finish than Sumatran.

At one time the island of Java was ruled by sultans and dominated by mysticism. The early Dutch settlers who came in the late 17th century found Java to be a wonderfully diverse place with high mountains, thick tropical rain forests and a sultry climate that revolved around the monsoon rains. The Dutch and the Javanese settled the coastal volcanic plains, while much of the interior of the island was left to the jungle and a few tribal groups. The Dutch found that coffee grew very well in this climate, and began to set up plantations around their initial foothold in Batavia (modern day Jakarta). Initially Arabica coffees were planted, but many of these were killed by the coffee rust plague that devastated the region in the 1800′s. Robusta was the logical replacement — a tough plant resistant to many diseases.

Eventually the Dutch plantation owners conquered Java and took on the elements. Large plantations were established in the east of the island, as well as in Central Java and the west. After the Japanese occupied Java in the 1940′s many of these plantations were destroyed or absorbed back into the jungle with their owners imprisoned by the Japanese. After the war and the ensuing independence struggle, many of the larger plantations ended up under the control of the government. Today the big Java plantations (such as Nusantara XII) are still government-owned. However there are many medium and smaller growers who produce excellent quality Arabica beans. These coffees are known as “Government Estate” Java. They are primarily produced at 4 old farms (Kayumas, Blawan, Djampit, Pancoer). The Government body grows about 85% of the coffee in East Java, close to Bali on the Ijen area. The range of altitudes suitable for coffee production is 3,000 to 6,000 feet, with most growing in the plateau region at 4,500 feet.

Government Estate is undoubtedly Indonesia’s highest quality coffee. Other more inferior coffee producers of the area are called “Private Estate” Java plantations. They are lower-grown and not processed or prepared as well but they are a good option for those who want to spend less. Java is an undeniably clean-tasting cup for this Indonesian varietal, a fully wet-processed coffee that has the Indonesian body and thickness in the cup without earthy or dirty flavors.

There is so much to consider while searching for coffee vending machines than just the price tag attached to it. If that is your only area of interest you will likely end up being extremely disappointed in your purchase down the road. The right vending machines for your business need to allow you to focus on making money instead of solving problems.

Ignore the hype by sellers of vending machines and do your own homework. There is no way they have a clue what your vending machine business needs in order to be successful. You know what items you plan to place into the vending machine so those are the types of models you need to look at. You can’t sell drinks in a vending machine made for toys or vice versa.

Take the locations you have for your vending machines into account when you are evaluating your options. If you don’t have those vending machine locations in place then stop focusing on the machines and get moving on it. What good is a vending machine going to do you if you don’t have a good location for it? Make sure the vending machine you purchase is going to fit well into that area.

What features do you want the vending machine to have? It is a good idea to get those that allow customers to use both change and dollar bills. Look for vending machines that get a good safety rating and that are difficult to damage if vandalism should occur. You don’t want yourself or someone else to get hurt. You also don’t want to have to invest a fortune in repairs for it.

Look for information on the various models of vending machines that fit your profile. What types of comments do other owner’s have about them? It is a good idea to write down the information you come across so you can compare it later. You want to invest in vending machines that are a good price but also reliable.

Buying a brand new coffee vending machine may not be the right choice for your business. It can prove to be too expensive and you may not get any more out of it than a good used model. However, you must take care of inspecting it from one end of to the next. Don’t feel rushed to make your decision until you have carefully evaluated all the options such as coffee machine rental, coffee machine hire.

You will discover in your research efforts that the most expensive vending machines aren’t necessarily the best. You can buy a more moderately priced on that has a good track record. You will also be able to repair it on your own. The fact that you have less money invested in the equipment for the business means that more revenue can be considered your own profit.

What Are The Advantages Of Drinking Premium Coffee?

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – What Are The Advantages Of Drinking Premium Coffee?

Coffee drinkers have enjoyed smelling coffee’s soothing aroma and drinking coffee as a morning treat for thousands of years. It’s often used as a “pick-me-up” to get going in the mornings, as a warming drink during cold winter weather, and even as a treat after meals. In recent years, more and more coffee distributors have been exploring different flavors of coffee, trying out new ground coffees and coffee blends. If you’re a coffee drinker, here are some ways to enjoy premium coffee to the fullest and its many benefits.

Premium coffee has been around for years, but not quite in the variety that it’s available today. Now you can even go online to order almost any type of coffee beans you’d like. You can order world coffee from many different countries to try all the different coffee blends. You can order roasted coffee, strong coffee, or Kona coffee. There are so many types of coffee that the choices seem endless.

Cold and Flavored Coffee

Another enjoyable type of coffee that’s popular today is a cold coffee or iced coffee beverage. There are a variety of cappuccinos, which are specially flavored blends of coffee, milk, and other ingredients to create a sweet coffee-like treat. Then, you can try an iced latte, espresso, and other premium coffee beverages as an alternative to milkshakes and other beverage treats. These even make a great treat for kids…. but don’t allow them to drink too much coffee or they might bounce off the walls for a while!

Health Benefits of Coffee

There are conflicting beliefs about the health benefits of coffee, but like any other natural food or beverage, the issue is usually “how much” a person should eat or drink rather than “if” they should. Regular, moderate premium coffee consumption has been linked to many health benefits. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers are less susceptive to certain ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease, gallstones, diabetes, depression, and Parkinson’s disease. There are many natural antioxidants contained in ground coffee and coffee beans. Antioxidants aid in the removal of toxins in our bodies and help prevent disease.

On the negative side, coffee also has extremely high caffeine content. Caffeine can provide a sudden boost of energy, but can also cause long-term health ailments if consumed too much, such as a heart rate increase, high blood pressure, or an irregular heartbeat. Coffee is also highly acidic, which can cause a decrease in oxygen levels in the body and a build up of lactic acid. Luckily for those who need to limit their caffeine intake, there is decaf coffee that has most of the caffeine removed.

So as with many natural foods and drinks, drinking coffee in moderation is still the best way to enjoy its health benefits and other benefits as well.

Choose Premium Coffee Online that Excites Your Taste Buds

The good thing about buying premium coffee online is you can obtain the freshest coffee and choose from a number of coffee blends to excite your taste buds. Even coffee drinkers have different preferences when it comes to coffee blends. Ordering premium coffee online enables you to try out all the blends and discover which coffees you like best. And, you can order these from your home at affordable rates. Many of the special coffee blends can’t be found at local grocery stores, so you can pick and choose from a wide selection of ground coffee from around the world.
