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!

Health Report: Could Coffee Protect You From Skin Cancer?

As you’re 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 world—the 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 infancy—think 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 of 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

The Creation of Lavazza

Coffee and Espresso,

I often talk about my Gaggia Platinum Vision espresso machine and the drinks that it can produce. One important factor in creating the “perfect” cup of coffee is the bean used in the machine. One of my favorite coffees is Lavazza Super crema , which true to its name produces the thickest crema on my espresso shots. Lavazza is known for being Italy’s favorite coffee, a tradition which began in 1895 with Luigi Lavazza.
The organization has grown to include four production plants all operating in Italy:
- Settimo Torinese, the roasting plant situated on the outskirts of Turin
- The Verres plant in Valle d’Aosta, also dedicated to roasting and packaging
- Mokapak plant, located in Gattinara, near Vercelli, produces the Lavazza “Espresso Point”, “BLUE” and “A Modo Mio” machines
- Mokadec, located in Pozzilli (Isernia), is dedicated to the decaffeination process of Lavazza coffee.
Each year, the Lavazza Group buys over two million bags of green coffee from over 50 countries, in accordance to strict quality standards. The Lavazza factory includes two storage towers with 134 silos containing different varieties of coffee. Storage capacity is 5,000 tons. The green coffee is loaded automatically through bag-cutters or tanks and is then sorted to remove powder, stones or other foreign matter.
The Laboratory:As the green beans arrive to the Lavazza plant, they are first processed in the laboratory. The green beans are checked and tests are performed on each batch to access quality. The laboratory is responsible for selecting the beans, creating the blends, defining and checking the quality standards of the batches of the green coffee that have been purchased.
The Art of Roasting:The utmost attention is given, to determine the body and acidity level of the bean, which determines the flavor of the beverage in the cup. The beans undergo a metamorphosis in the roasting phase: high temperatures have a direct result on the aroma to the bean. Here is a look at the results:
- At 212°F the beans are golden in color and smell somewhat like toasted bread, a fragrance that will quickly turn into the sublime aroma of coffee.
- When the temperature rises to more than 302°-356°F the beans become larger, lustrous and brown.
- Roasting reaches its optimum level at 392-446°F and the coffee takes on its distinctive taste.
- At this point, the coffee is removed from the roaster and is cooled quickly with currents of cold air.
After roasting, any broken or damaged beans are discarded. Another important phase is the grinding of the beans. The grinding process can have an impact on the overall quality of the cup of coffee produced. The Lavazza plant grinds between 4,409 and 6,613 lbs of roasted coffee per hour. The process includes applying micrometric adjustments to guarantee each batch is specifically ground based on how the coffee will be brewed.
Packaging:After roasting, the product is removed from the roaster and is quickly treated again to remove bits of coffee. Prior to being vacuum-packed in bags with one-way valves, samples are tested to ensure product meets all performance expectations. The product is then placed into the appropriate packaging for the specific type of coffee to be retailed including:
- Ground products in pods
- Whole-bean products
- Ground products in flexible packets or cans
With over 110 years in the business and still innovating, Lavazza has maintained its position as Italy’s favorite coffee. If you have not had an opportunity to taste a Lavazza blend, I would suggest treating yourself to one of these fine coffees. I hope you also find a favorite for your kitchen.

Its soooo Gooooood:) Makes a great cup of espresso/coffee. But It all depends on a persons taste buds and likes and dislikes. I say try them all to find what you like and love. Lavazza Super Crema is so smooth and tasty, w/ lingering back notes of hazelnut. Great crema is always a plus too. Great espresso and coffee, One of my favorites I also prefer some other beans Illy(med/dk roast), (but pricey). Fillicori Gran Delicato and Forte, and Lavazza Super Crema, Gran Riserva, and Gold. But again, these are what my taste buds like. Yours might and probably will be different. But you can't go wrong w/ any of the above listed. Happy coffee hunting. And that's what its all about. Trying new things or you could miss out on something wonderful. Food, Coffee, Wine, Beer, Whisky, Travel, Local Stuff, etc, etc, etc... Just enjoy life. And not many things better than a nice espresso in the morning to start your day off:) I hope this helped. Have a wonderful day, week, month, year, and life:)

mjackson ♦ Mike,
Super Crema is our biggest seller all for good reason. It seems very good when used to make a latte or cappuccino as it is strong without being dark and can cut through the taste of the milk. It is as you have discovered a great coffee for a super automatic.

Jumping on the Bandwagon
Just broke out the Lavazza Super Crema and gave it a try in my month-old espresso machine. Compared to other coffees I've tried in my machine, I too feel the Lavazza Super Crema is a very good value and holds its own against my other favorites. I'm relatively new to good espresso and haven't developed the taste buds and vocabulary to meaningfully describe the taste, but I can say that, while it's very different from another favorite of mine - Segafredo Zanetti Ho.Re.Ca. - it's pleasant to drink and not bitter at all.

This is my absolute favorite coffee brand and bean. Simply opening the bag makes my mouth water. The aroma in all forms: pre-grind, during grind, and during brewing is smooth, rich, flavorful, and delicious. I've got the page for 3 x 2.2 lb. bags bookmarked for fast reorders when I start running out. If you haven't tried Super Crema, order a bag NOW.

I love the Lavazza Super Crema Espresso. I use a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine and a Rocky Dosserless grinder. It has great crema and its smooth and sweet. I am able to pull a fantastic shot. The espresso machine and the grinder play a major part of the final product. When I have used this coffee in one of my other espresso machines including a Saeco super automatic, I found it a little weak as well.

Different, but delicious
This is a delicious and smooth coffee, but surprisingly mild tasting for us who are not used to the lighter, less burned beans. I initially thought I was not using enough beans or needed to adjust the grind or water volume. After doing much testing and comparing, I realized that it is simply the bean that is different. Great flavor but much lighter than the average, American roast. The more I drink it, the more I enjoy it.

My favorite
The best balanced, smoothest espressos I've tasted. The other Lavazza products are very good, but this is my personal favorite. Will also put Illy medium roast in my machine if I'm in the mood for a bit of a change, however this is my staple. Espresso, gelato, pasta, and tomatoes are the 4 major food groups in Italy! Could live on the first two for months!

Good crema, however not quite as thick as a Nespresso Roma. Probably due to the higher pressure of the Nespresso C100 than the Saeco machines.

This is great stuff. It goes down easy, and it doesn't even upset an empty stomach! Incredibly smooth, very flavorful, and NO BITTER, BURNT aftertaste (can anyone say Starbucks?....oops...can I say that on here??....LOL). Far superior to Pienaroma, and Top Class. Far superior to anything else on the market. Lavazza holds its own.

Great coffee
A great tasting coffee that isn't bitter. I've tried a bunch of the other Lavazza roasts and don't like them. I've had guests over and they didn't like them (too bitter). I like this one though. It's smooth and has a great taste.

My wife and I finally pulled the trigger and purchase an automatic espresso machine. We got the super crema with the start package. We have been disappointed the strength of the espresso. We have used up to six one oz shots in half a cup and still thought the favor was weak. The coffee isn't bitter and has a descent favor it is just whimpy.

After drinking around fifty 3 lb bags of super crema I cant find a reason to switch, always a smooth expresso never bitter like starbucks. Used to buy from a local roaster but these beans are never oily and are never bitter.

I found this to be a little weak for lattes. The flavor was so-so and tasted like something I would get at a mediocre restaurant. I prefer Illy - silky, smooth and flavorful - and Java Joe's Espresso roast bold and full of flavor. Both of these are much better for lattes.

Lavazza Super Crema
This is by far the best crema experience I have had. While I am still fine tuning my grinder I am so impressed with the strength of the espresso, frothy golden crema, and lack of bitterness. A great blend I will come to again and again. This is also perfect for those who are just starting out whether it is straight espresso or lattes. This is the best. One word of caution: After experiencing the Super Crema, if you switch to anything else, you will be let down!

I had a double espresso shot with some sugar and small amount of frothed milk.

Great Espresso
A very good coffee without too much bitterness. Not harsh. Nice, with low aftertaste. Brews great every time. Beans must be finely ground in order to produce the right crema (made the mistake of not grinding it fine enough). Would buy again.

I luvva my LaVazza Super Crema !!
THE BEST !!
The Drinks I've Made With This Product:
I used this SAME coffee when I lived in Germany. I got hooked but fast. I have used it to make espresso, latte's, and plain crema coffee with a little sugar. Yummy! An added bonus was it does give a nice buzz. I can't tell you how much hobbies sewing, gardening and housework I got done drinking LaVazza Super Crema. Now, I bring some to work, make a nice strong pot. Pretty soon, everyone is talking and laughing and getting the work done! Great stuff. Will order again and again. Thanks WLL !!
The Machine I Use:
Had a Starbucks Barista, but broke a while back. Will be ordering a Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital pretty soon. Can't wait to try it out with the LaVazza Super Crema. I got projects to work on here.

My favorite bean so far . . .
The best of the four beans we have tried so far (this one, Lavazza Grand Espresso, Illy, and Malabar Gold). Very rich flavor that blends in well (& does not overwhelm) if you decide to make flavored drinks. Super Crema is now the only bean we use in our machine.

The Best beans I've tried thus far!
For my machine and preference settings (Capresso C1500 Super Automatic, Hi-Temp, Finest Grind Setting, Extra-Strong [more coffe per shot], 1 oz.), the Lavazza Super Crema (the only Lavazza I've tried so far) produces a thick, rich and moderately long-lasting Crema, and a very full-bodied, rich, deep, "chocalate-y", never-bitter shot that is very satisfying, special and compelling. It has trumped all the other beans I have tried so far in all the mentioned qualities. I've given it a "5", rather than a "6", as I haven't yet tasted the "better" Lavazza blends. Other beans I've tried: Whole Latte Love's Malabar Gold, Illy, various Peets blends, various local blends.

My favorite of all the Lavazza coffees. Smooth taste, no bitterness, solid crema. Doesn't have the oily residue that some brands have, that makes the beans stick in the hopper (Like the Java Joes that I tried, and, unfortunately, the present Blue Jamaica that I am going through). Highly recommended.

Delightful
Absolutely no bitterness. Even my wife, who is not an espresso lover, and who used to only use a drip coffee-maker, is using Super Crema in a French Press - and just loves its smooth consistent taste. It makes a great shot every time with perfect crema.

Super super creme
I have tried a number of beans. Illy for instance, I found dry and one dimensional, and expensive. I keep coming back to Lavazza for that “Italian café” experience, and the super crème delivered. Rich and robust without being overpowering. Fine alone or with milk. It’s a fantastic bean I will buy again.

awful
This stuff is awful. I knew I made a mistake when I opened the package and saw how light the beans were. Then I made a double shot of espresso and wasn't surprised to see no crema. I couldn't even taste the stuff in my latte. What a waste of money. The only other beans I've tried from this sight was Java Joe's espresso, which was so much better. Dark beans, good aroma and crema, and a taste that really came through in a latte. It was also nice to have a resealable package for the beans. I know there are other Lavazza blends, but my experience with this blend was so bad that I think I'll look elsewhere.

bigskinz Try Fillicori Forte, and Lavazza Tierra Intenso or Lavazza Pienaroma. You will enjoy these:)

bigskinz I also Love Fillicori Delicato, but similar to Lavazza Super Crema as far as boldness.

Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Espresso Coffee
So far this is the best whole bean espresso roast we have found for our semi-automatic espresso machine. We love the flavor that Lavazza Super Crema imparts to our two-a-day latte habit...We are very pleased with the pricing so we purchased a case this past week. Free shipping is great but if the longest route possible is going to be taken to achieve this, better packaging practices should be considered. By the time we received the package the box had taken quite a beating-as had the product.

mjackson ♦ Zhanna,
Super Crema is our biggest seller. It is a non oily bean. I really like it and I think you will as well. It makes a great espresso for straight espresso or for lattes.

DRuff Hello Carly. Thank you for your question. Super Crema is great coffee and a staff favorite. There are six bags in a case. Enjoy
Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Espresso Coffee
I bought a Jura Capressa ENA 4 from you 5 months ago. I use Lavazza Coffee and have been for 3 years with my previous Saeco machine, which of the theis blends has the dryest beans so that my machine will not clog with oil.I have been told by your sales people that Lavazza coffees are ok to use in my machine.
Thanks for your help and concern in this matter.
Regards,
Paul Brabenec
PS I like Lavazza coffees and hope to continue with them,
I also like the ENA 4, the Saeco was a bummer.

WholeLatteLoveRep1 Hi Paul! So happy to hear that you are enjoying your Capresso ENA4 machine. They are very nice units. I have great news for you... The Lavazza coffee that you love is just fine to use in that machine. If you do find that it seems to be a bit oily you can always back off the grind setting slightly to give it a slightly coarser grind. This will allow the grounds to move smoothly though the machine and still give you that brew quality you are looking for. Happy Brewing!
