MannyGate7 Very informative thank you!

Philip Coats Interesting to see that coffee comes from such a wide variety of places. Curious to know just how much the taste of each varies (with a similar roast temperature) due to soil composition and other localized variables.

Dean Dahlstedt Absolutely amazing that coffee is the 4th most popular drink in the world, yet it appears to be produced in such small quantities in many regions. This truly is a special drink. I now know why Hawaiian coffee so expensive. Only 100 bags a year! How many times have I roasted a Panama Esmeralda Gesha or a Kenya AA without realizing that those are the very best of only 90 and 850 bags per year respectively. These fact really make me realize how truly lucky we are to be able to enjoy the very best of this wonderful drink. Great article, thanks.

paul hees Great stuff, a lot of interesting information presented in a condensed but appealing format. As a big fan of both, it never occurred to me that Ethiopia produces 8 times as much as Kenya. Wondering if China is still growing- thought Yunnan was on course to rival Vietnam? Thanks!

Treat Yourself! Caramel Frappes and Espresso Martinis

The weekend is usually a time to kick back and relax, but, if you're like me, it's also a perfect opportunity to experiment with some new recipes! As the dog days of summer close in, cool off with a refreshing caramel frappe, or liven up your nights this weekend with an espresso martini!
You can find frappes almost everywhere these days, but nothing beats the comfort of your own kitchen. For the Caramel Frappe you're going to need:
 |
|
Combine your ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Top with a swirl of whipped cream, and drizzle with caramel for an icy treat to beat the heat!
Our next recipe comes from Whole Latte Love's very own Dan Moraldo. Coffee really does mix well with just about anything, so a martini is an excellent choice! For the Espresso Martini you're going to need:
 |
|
When you make this drink, you're going to want to do a few things ahead of time:
- First brew your coffee and chill it. Using freshly brewed espresso will melt your ice and dilute your drink.
- For further temperature stability, chill your martini glass as well, sticking it in the fridge or the freezer will do just fine.
Combine the espresso, vodka, and liqueur with the ice and shake vigorously. When they're fully mixed, strain into your chilled glass. As a finishing touch, add three coffee beans (one for health, one for wealth, and one for happiness) and enjoy!

dmorrown One cup of expresso? What is that, about 12 shots?
1
Nick Brown Hi David, thank you for pointing this out to me. The recipe should read 1 shot of espresso not 1 cup. According to the Golden Rule, one shot should be 1 to 1.5 fluid ounces of water pulled through 7 grams of coffee depending on your tastes. I'll be modifying my original post, and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Health Report: Could Coffee Protect You From Skin Cancer?

As youβre enjoying the last rays of summer, consider that in a few years you could be lathering on the coffee to prevent skin cancer. Findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science suggests that chemicals commonly found in coffee have the ability to absorb UV radiation when applied directly to the skin. Researchers at Rutgers University genetically engineered mice to suppress the same enzyme that caffeine does in humans and have found that they were slower to develop skin cancer. Because of its ability to suppress ATR, the enzyme responsible for turning damaged skin cells cancerous, scientists have suggested that caffeine could be added to sunscreens to boost protection levels.
In a strange twist, caffeine molecules may also help you develop a nice tan in addition to protecting your skin from tumors and cancer. Caffeine has actually been shown to stimulate pigment cells, urging them to produce more color. So, a safer tan may not be too far on the horizon.

Legend of the Irish Coffee

With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, may the luck...and drinks, of the Irish be with you. Given the upcoming festivities, now is as good a time as any to take a look at the history of one of the most (in)famous, drinks in the worldβthe Irish Coffee.
In true Celtic fashion, think Leprechauns and pots of gold, the origins of the Irish Coffee begins with a local folklore...Legend has it that the drink was invented in a cafe at the now-defunct Foynes Airport. In 1943, on a particularly nasty winter evening, a flight bound for Botwood, Newfoundland made the critical decision to return to Foynes after several hours in the air. Consider that 1943 was during WWII and commercial air travel was really in its infancyβthink well-heeled men and women on a flying-boat voyage. The circumstances of the diverted flight were trying at best and left passengers a little bit more than peeved.
Upon making the decision to head back to Foynes, the captain reportedly sent a Morse-code message to the control tower, alerting ground operations personnel of the impending return. At the terminal, preparations were made to welcome back the crew and passengers. I know, you're skeptical already; but keep in mind, this was the 1940s...flying was a glitzy affair.
Back to the regularly scheduled story...Head chef Joe Sheridan of the airport restaurant was hastily asked to make something to warm the passengers and lift their spirits. He decided to...well...add a little spirit to their drinks. After all what could keep you warmer and happier than a hot coffee and some good old Irish whiskey? As the night progressed and everybody had been served, one of the passengers approached Sheridan to thank him for the hospitality. Making small talk, the passenger asked if Brazilian coffee had been used to prepare the drink...To which Sheridan responded "No, that was Irish Coffee." The rest is history.
From that night forward, Irish Coffee was served to all passengers going through Foynes Airport. The tradition continues to this day; dignitaries arriving at Shannon Airport are still welcomed with a warm cup of Irish Coffee. Want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style? Try this authentic Irish Coffee Recipe:
Joe Sheridan's Original Irish Coffee
- 30ml Irish Whiskey
- Freshly brewed coffee
- 2 teaspooons ofΒ sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh whipping cream or double cream
Preparation
Preheat an Irish Coffee Mug using hot water. Try our Stout, Classic or Pedestal version of the mug. Pour freshly brewed coffee into the mug; add sugar and whiskey. Top with cream.

Jesse Nice Another version... ^_^
Cream as rich as an Irish brogue
Coffee as strong as a friendly hand
Sugar as sweet as the tongue of a rogue
Whiskey as smooth as the wit of the land

BIll Price Love your website, and that's a nice story about Irish coffee, but... the recipe leaves a lot to be desired.
3ml is about a half tsp whiskey. Perhaps you meant 30ml (1 oz.) or 3 Tbs (1 jigger). Similarly, 2 tsp of whipped cream is an almost invisible amount. More like 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons).
My favorite addition to Irish coffe is to wet the rim with whiskey, and frost it with raw sugar after the glass is warmed. Flaming the glass w 2 tsp whiskey helps seal it to the rim.

Angelo Palmieri I love Irish coffee in winter when I need something warm and sweet to help me make the day. I like your recipe, Bill, and one of this day I will try it. Thanks, AP

For the Best Tasting Espresso drink......................
I prefer LaVazza Grand for it flavor and overall taste. I make better lattes then most baristas, but there are some truly great latte artists out there to envy. The money I save on making my own let's me own a truly great machine and money to experience a variety of coffee beans, as well as learning more tricks to the trade of making the best espresso. I drink about 2 to 4 double or triple drinks p/day. I would have to rate LaVazza Grand on a scale of 1-10, about a 9 or 10 for consistency, flavor and crema. I experimented with about 15 different coffee roasters, both locally and thru-out the USA, but have come to realize that this LaVazza Grand is the best tasting overall and has the most consistent crema for my pallet. Right here is where I must say that through the course of determining the right coffee for me and my machine, I have learned a great deal. I truly believe that most people that try a certain coffee bean and dislike it, must first make sure they are performing all procedures correctly. First..... you have to have a worthy machine that performs to the right pressures and temperatures for making espresso. Second......the correct size tamper made hopefully from stainless steel or similar metals and polished. Third....learn how to tamp and how many pounds of hand pressure to apply. If the tamper does not fit, you are starting with problem in the beginning and won't have good tasting coffee or crema. Fourth... the best grinder you can afford and learn how to use it and recognize the correct grind for your machine. And here I must say that most coffee experts won't tell you..that the temperature, heat, humidity and where you place your grinder..like near or under an exposed window facing the setting sun..etc..make a world of difference each time you grind your coffee, which effects your outcome in making the perfect crema. Fifth....having the right amount of water coming through the machine at the right temperature. Sixth....your steam valve working at the right temperature and learning how to froth your milk...and the correct milk to use, as well..... "COLD" Seventh.....the right size and chilled frothing pitcher...how to hold it and for how long. And last....your cup must be hot for the espresso to pour into it out of the coffee holder. If any step of this procedure is not exactly right....your espresso drink will be only so-so or totally ruined, taste extremely bitter or even burnt. There are too many things to say about making the proper tasting espresso drink and arriving at a machine that will perform making tiger-striped-crema. If you do not think any of these steps apply to the best tasting espresso drinks, just get in your car and travel around your city..going to about 10-20 different espresso making shops...Starbucks down to the Mom & Pop shops...you'll see the difference. Most of them have spent $3,000 to $10,000 on single and double group machines, but know nothing about making the perfect drink. I prefer my Gaggia Classic and LaVazza Grand and my own hand. Over the last 10 years, I have down-loaded hundreds of sights, article, videos and reviews to learn what I know..........which is still very little....with so much more to learn......plus the whole latte art game.......that's next.
The Drinks I've Made With This Product:
I make a large variety of Lattes, straight espresso shots with 1/2 and 1/2 or other flavorings, cappuccinos, mochas, milkshakes and liquor-flavored espresso drinks. I tire of the same old drink all the time, but not the flavor of espresso. If anyone wants to know my recipes, feel free to ask.
The Machine I Use:
My machine is a Semi-Automatic Gaggia Classic that I have owned since 1998. The first time I had it fixed was after 6 years of use. I only needed a gasket and an o-ring. Since then I have ordered parts for it twice and had it repaired by my Brother, who is an expert, and both times,..the parts cost me around $100.00. "Cheap", I'd say. This machine is still perfect.!! I have a 2 group and a single group commercial machine, a lever machine and have had even more. But, for home use and for the money...You can't beat this machine. You can buy the Rancilio, which is as good or better. But I can't really say as to experience, except with my Gaggia. But I here it is as good or better and is about the same exact price. I would not spend anything more than this on an espresso machine unless I were to buy one over $3,000. It does everything a commercial machine can do, except does it slower when trying to make more than two at a time. This is not a real problem, either. I just wait an additional minute or two and start....And...Perfection begins all over again.!!

This is a great coffee. We came back to it after trying the highly rated Bel Etage coffee. Both my husband and I prefer Lavaza Grand. We make better lattes at home than any we have tasted elsewhere. I set the grind at 12 and the dose at 7.

Not bad, but not the best
Got a bag with my espresso machine. Not bad, but to my taste, it's a bit on the wimpy side. It helped to set it to a finer grind, and some people will defnitely prefer the milder taste. I prefer the Illy; even the decaf has a rich full flavor, without the "burned" Starbucks taste. But taste is indeed subjective!

Not the best choice
Got a huge bag of Lavazza Grand in the Whole Latte Love sampler pack. My wife does not like it, but I find it's a nice mild alternative to our favorites. If you only drink your top favorite all the time, you will get tired of it. Our favorite so far is sold by the Sorrento deli in Culver City, CA and its called Vera. 12oz can for $5! But that may change as I go through more samples from WLL.
