Coffee Bean – Kennel

It is believed that the Yemen were the first to drink coffee from beans in the 15th century: others say it was the Turks. It is also believed that the coffee maker was nothing more than a pot. Today, the Turks say that the first coffee maker was a copper or brass Ibrik. The Ibrik was somewhat round on the bottom half and then had a straight body the rest of the way up. There was a long fairly wide spout at the top and a metal strap handle in the shape of a large C connected to the pot. When coffee was made they put roasted coffee “berries” that had been coarsely ground in the bottom of this coffee maker. Hot water was then poured over the beans in the bottom and then boiled for several hours. When Arabs traveled through the desert, the Ibrik was put into the hot sand and the heat from the hot sand brewed the mixture. Different spices such as cloves, cinnamon, cardamon and anise were often added to the brew.

            The first noted commercial coffee brewers were those used in coffee houses that opened in Istanbul, Turkey in 1554. Drinking coffee from coffee makers spread to Persia and on to the Ottoman Empire and northern Africa. Next, the taste for coffee spread to Europe; it is the Dutch sailors who then spread coffee and the need for coffeemakers to the rest of the world. Coffee came to America by way of the British in the 1607. Colonists, who were mainly tea drinkers, began to drink more coffee; especially after the Boston Tea party in 1773. All this coffee drinking then inspired a need for a better coffee maker.

            During the time mentioned above coffee was made by dropping the grounds in the bottom of a “coffee pot” that now came in various shapes with a spout at the top on one side and a wooden handle on the other; some were very ornate and made of silver. Hot water was poured over the coffee grounds and boiled for a few minutes. Then, in the late 1770s, a two chamber coffee maker began to be used. Coffee grounds were put in an upper chamber. Boiling water was poured into the upper chamber that allowed only liquid to go to the lower chamber.  This was an expensive coffee maker and not many people had them.

            Next, there came a series of coffee makers. The first of these was the percolator in 1865. It was the stove top percolator similar to the ones we have today. When it was placed on a hot stove, the boiling water was forced up the hollow stem and over the coffee in a “basket.” Many people still prefer this method as it makes a stronger tasting coffee; however, today, they also prefer electric percolators. Another coffee maker that some still like to use is the vacuum coffee maker, which looks like two pots, one upside down on the other. When heat forms a pressure, it forces hot water up into the top chamber where it infuses with the coffee grounds. When the heat is taken away, the pressure is released and the hot water, now coffee, returns to the bottom chamber. Not too much later the electric percolator was introduced; the French Press coffeemaker was introduced as well. Course coffee was placed in the bottom of a straight container and a plunger with a filter in the center was pushed down and allowed the coffee to come to the top. This is another method that still remains popular today.

            The most popular form of coffee maker was introduced by the Mr. Coffee brand of coffeemakers. It is called the “pourover” method coffeemaker. Whether water is pumped over or poured over, hot water is infused with coffee grounds in a basket, usually with a filter that allows the coffee to drip into a decanter below.

            Last, but not least are the espresso makers of today. The first one was made in France, but did not work very well. An Italian bought the patent and improved on it. After World War II, the Italians concentrated on the improvement of espresso machines. Today, Italian espresso machines and cappuccino machines whether made in America or Europe, or for the home or commercial use, remain highly sought after.   

We know the first thing added to coffee beans were cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and anise. Today that has expanded beyond spices to sugars and flavorings. What is responsible for all this expansion is called coffee aroma along with the mouth-feel and sweet, salt, bitter and sour taste attributes that are perceived by the tongue.  All the present day specialty coffee flavor attributes are desired because of the aroma first. Instant coffee and decaf coffee have components that are responsible for stimulation of the taste buds. Instant coffee’s difference is that it lacks most of the aromatic volatile compounds that create a decrease in the overall flavor of the coffee.

 There are many decisions to be made before anything is added to the coffee beans to alter its flavor. There many kinds of coffee beans that came from all over the world. These beans, it is believed, all originated in Ethiopia and were taken by merchants back to Yeman and Pakistan where they crushed and boiled the beans in a coffee maker called an ibrik to make the first coffee. From there they ended up in Europe where Dutch traders took them to different parts of Asia, the Carribean and South America. English sailors brought coffee beans to America and later brought coffee plants. These beans were known as Aribica because they came from Arabia. However, these beans when planted in the different soils around the world took on different tastes. Today, we have Ethiopian coffee, Brzilian coffee, Java coffee, Kenyan coffee, Jamaican coffee, Sumatran coffee, Haitian coffee, Vietnamese coffe and Argentine coffee are just a few of the beans from countries around the world that have there own unique taste. 

How you make the coffee from all the different beans makes an added diffence in the taste. We have French press made coffee, perculator coffee, pourover drip coffee methods, and espresso machines and other modes to make our coffee. This is just the beginning before adding anything to the beans. However, we can mention at this point that your taste buds may want to add a sweetener and /or a dairy product such as cream, milk, half and half, or soymilk. The flavored creamers available also add to change the taste of your favorite cup of coffee.  

 We have not even started on the spices that at added to the roasting process or are added when the beans are ground. Sometimes spices are added to hide the bitterness of the taste of the coffee from certain beans. This was certainly the case with the original coffee drinkers. Beans were ground and spices were added because they boiled the beans for hours until there was a thick sludge at the bottom of the coffee maker. The coffee was drunk by straining it through ones teeth. Since the beginning and even today cinnamon is used to sweeten the coffee taste. One must be careful in the amount added here as it may become too sweet or bitter. Cinnamon also absorbs the oils while infusing the flavorful mask of bitterness.  Cloves has a stronger taste that adds a woody flavor and rich earthy overtone that makes one of the pleasant scents; this reminds of the scent coming from a home-baked ham. Cardamom remains the most popular spice in Saudi Arabian even today and cardamom coffee, gahwa, remains a symbol of hospitality. Crushed green coffee beans  and green cardamom pod seeds along with saffron or ground cloves are added along with a sweetener then boiled for two or three minutes. The coffee is then strained through a filter and served. Anise is the last of the oldest spices that were added to coffee and has a licorice-like flavor and odor. Anise, too, has been used to cover up bitter tasting coffee.

Today, nutmeg is a smooth, sweet, yet highly spicey addtion used with eggnog coffee and chocolate (cocoa) flavored coffees. Cloves and nutmeg added to coffee are said to create a pure cup of goodness. Vanilla with its sweet scent and deep flavor has become one of the most used sweeteners in coffee today with French vanilla coming in at a close second. Both do an excellent job of hiding a bitter taste in coffee. Add cocoa to coffee and you have Mocha. Love your real bitter sweet chocolate? Add a little sugar to your shredded chocolate and coffee and you have a rich bodied barista’s Mocha.    

Other flavors added to coffee include honey, clover honey is the most popular, but don’t dismiss all the flavored honeys that bee keepers are offering. White refined sugar, raw sugar and organic sugar cannot be left out of the picture, and we cannot forget brown sugar either.

Last, but not least, are the different kinds of roasts. City roast is the lightest gourmet roast while a full city roast is slightly darker and produces a heavier and slightly caramel flavor. French roast produces a slightly burnt taste without the acidity that many find most enjoyable. The darkest roast is Italian espresso roast. The beans are black, brittle and shiny with a very distinct burnt flavor without any acidity. Espresso machines help create the favorite coffee for espressos and cappucinnos. For flavored coffees, the highest grade of one hundred percent Aribica beans are used in the infusion process of actual flavor ingredients into the beans.

There are hundreds of flavored coffees you can buy, but I thought I would leave you with a few of my favorites. They include: Coconut and Swiss Chocolate, Orange and French Vanilla with cream,Orange Cickle, and Mint Chocolate.   

Do you like coffee? Do you ever wonder about how the coffee affects you beyond the taste and aroma that you love? Want to know some actual facts?

First, it takes between 15 and 45 minutes until the caffeine reaches its highest level in your bloodstream. The quantity of caffeine that gets to the brain will determine how intense the effects will be on the body and will generally peak within 30 to 60 minutes of ingestion and last for as long as there is caffeine in the blood. On average this will be 3 to 4 hours for a non-smoking adult to get rid of half of the caffeine. However, in the case of a woman taking the pill, caffeine’s half-life reaches 13 hours. For a pregnant woman, it is 20 hours and part of it secretes into the breast milk. For those who are breast feeding, it takes the baby 30 hours to get rid of half the caffeine.

Caffeine in your coffee does affects you in a positive way and a negative way. The positive ways include:

Coffee is rich in antioxidants like chlorogenic acid and melanoidins. Antioxidants that help prevent oxidation; a process that causes damage to cells and contributes to aging.

Regular coffee drinking reduces the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Two studies have demonstrated that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are significantly less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.

Coffee drinking has the potential to protect against the development of type 2 diabetes. One study found that moderate consumption of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in younger and middle aged women.

Coffee drinking may protect against liver cirrhosis, especially those with alcoholic cirrhosis.

There is some evidence that coffee drinking may be protective against the formation of gallstones in both sexes.

Coffee consumption lowers the risk of kidney stones formation. Coffee increases the urine volume, preventing the crystallization of calcium oxalate, the most common component of kidney stones.

Once caffeine is absorbed, in small doses by a healthy person, it will have beneficial effects on the body, such as increased alertness and reduced fatigue. It can also reduce boredom of a lengthy, repetitive task requiring a sustained attention. Physically, the heart beat, respiration, gastro-enteric reflexes and stomach acid production are increased, and smooth muscles such as the bronchial muscle are relaxed. A cup of coffee can also increase information processing.

Regular coffee drinking may help to protect against Alzheimer’s disease. A recent study in mice showed that caffeine in the amounts equivalent to 5 cups of coffee per day reduced the build up of destructive plaques in the brain.

Caffeine in coffee is related to theophylline, an old asthma medication. Caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms.

Over 50 years ago caffeine was placed on the Food and Drug Administration’s Multi-Purpose Food Substances list as “generally recognized as safe”. Many people feel that the FDA caters to commercial entities rather than the American public.

Okay, sounds good, but lets see the negative ways.

Heart problems is somewhat controversial. Most prospective cohort studies haven’t found that coffee consumption is associated with significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A recent Greek study and one at John Hopkins Medical Institute provided evidence that heavy coffee drinkers (5 cups or more) are more likely to have coronary heart disease than non coffee drinkers. These tests did not take in other factors such as lifestyles, caffeine content or brewing methods.  

On the other hand, a lower risk of heart disease among moderate coffee drinkers who  drank only one or two cups per day might be due to antioxidants found in coffee.

Heavy consumption of boiled coffee elevates blood total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Unfiltered coffee contains two cholesterol-raising compounds cafestol and kahweol. The affects of dripped filtered coffee has not been determined. 

Coffee negatively affects the blood vessel tone and function to different degrees in individuals. Some show very little change while others show a greater change.

Coffee can cause rapid or irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias) in some people. You need to take a simple test to see if this affects you.

Although coffee drinking is not a significant risk factor for hypertension, it produces unfavorable effects on blood pressure and people prone to hypertension may be more susceptible. A recent Italian study found that coffee drinking can slightly increase the risk for development of sustained hypertension in people who already have elevated blood pressure.

Coffee intake may induce an extra urinary excretion of calcium. Heavy coffee consumption (600 ml or more) can modestly increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially in women with a low calcium intake.

A cup of coffee can trigger heartburn. Again, this depends on the health of the individual and there sensibility to acidity.

Most are aware of the stimulatory effects of caffeine. High amounts of caffeine taken before going to sleep can cause difficulty in falling asleep, tendency to be awakened more readily by sudden noises, and a decreased quality of sleep. However, some people can drink coffee and fall right asleep.

The caffeine in coffee is a mild diuretic and can increase urine excretion. This effect may be easily neutralized by drinking an extra glass of water. When you drink an extra glass of water you are also hydrating of your body, especially in hot weather.

Although generally recognized as safe by the FDA, caffeine is still a drug, a mild central nervous system stimulant, and it produces dependence. Caffeine withdrawal is a real syndrome. You may get a few days of headache and irritability if you choose to quit drinking coffee, however, it is relatively easy to break this habit, and most people are not addicted to caffeine. Caffeine addiction is usually seen in those who drink more than a moderate amount of coffee.

In the final diagnosis, each individual has to be aware of what there body tolerates and what it does not tolerant. Women need to be more careful when they are pregnant or nursing infants, but we should all be careful to respect the possible negative affects of the caffeine in our coffee.

When it comes to coffee makers and the demand for them, there are other demands on other products before that. The demand for coffee and the demand for sale of coffee come first.

There are many big coffee companies in different parts of the world. These companies or corporations that combine a number of companies get the greatest profit. Other companies, such as Sweet Unity Farms in Tanzania, are small farms who are trying to get a fair share for there coffee. These companies now find that they must form coops in order to make a fairer price for there coffee. These challenges affect these small farms, but they also affect the price of coffee because of the amount of coffee available. Coffee, being a natural plant, is affected by the weather and diseases.

The next challenge is the processing of the coffee beans. There coffee roasting companies all over the world. Each of them wants a fair share of the business of processing and roasting the coffee beans. Large companies who sell roasted coffee roast there own beans to fit there particular bean flavors or “tastes.” Even some smaller bean companies roast there own beans. This is true with Fair trade coffee, which has been designed to assist poor coffee farmers that are producing high quality gourmet/organic coffees. It has become an important issue for coffee lovers and connoisseurs to support the local farmers. These coffee lovers and connoisseurs can do so through fair trade coffee. Otherwise many coffee growers in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean are forced to abandon their ways of growing coffee for cheaper methods and thus sacrifice the coffee’s quality.  

Other demands behind the scene are those for the spices and flavorings that are put into the coffee to make the flavors or “tastes.” The demand for fresh quality spices is also subject to weather and possible disease. Flavorings too may be subject to the fruits and other products that make up the flavors.

When coffee is more plentiful and the demand remains high for different coffees, these companies will continue to produce there best products to be part of the chain in producing all the different coffees that are on the market today.

Different coffees from different countries, blends from different countries and flavored or spiced coffees combinations create the need for coffee roasters and coffee makers of various kinds. We who are in the coffee maker business see this trend for more coffee makers for the home and for commercial purposes. As long as more people drink coffee, so will the chain of producers to coffee makers sellers see more calls for what they have to offer.

Some like it strong, some like it fresh, some with high nicotine, you can have your coffee your way with these coffee roasters. There is no better way to begin your day than with a cup of coffee, just your way.

The first paper coffee filter was invented in Dresden, Germany, by Melitta Bentz. She began searching for a way to brew coffee without the bitterness caused by over-brewing. After some experimenting, she discovered that a piece of blotter paper cut into a circle worked extremely well for filtering coffee. Later, in 1908, her filter was patented and named the Melitta filter; production of coffee filters began under the name Melitta Bentz Company. Just a year later, they were able to sell more than 1,200 filters at a single fair in Germany. Since then, filters have become an essential part of the brewing process for home coffee brewing and commercial coffee brewing.

The primary purpose of coffee filters is help keep grounds out of your cup of coffee. While ways of filtering coffee have been around for centuries, modern paper coffee filters are relatively new. There simple design allows the water to take in the properties of the coffee beans without over-brewing or allowing coffee grounds to pass through.

One company began offering unbleached coffee filters in 1990 another first ever in the USA. For modern coffee drinkers, this was one of the simple solutions to help the environment; another was the use of permanent gold filters. Today, 4 types of filter papers are made from selected clean 100% unbleached pulp and come in 2 varieties – cone and basket filters and in No. 2, No. 4, No. 6, and No. 12 sizes. Sizes of a coffee filter are based on the amount of coffee that can be produced from the grounds that fit in the filter. In coffee makers, a certain size of filter is required, based on the maximum number of cups that can be produced.

The usual and more common bleached filters use chlorine during their manufacturing process in order to make them snowy white. Not only is this manufacturing process harmful to the environment, but the chlorine releases dioxin, which over time is harmful to human health.

If the coffee filter does not fit properly into the filter basket, it can cause problems. When using a paper filter make sure it is the right size and does not fold over in the basket as this will let the coffee grounds escape and drip into the carafe along with the water. If you are concerned about the paper filter folding over, put a few drops of water around the edge of the coffee filter; this helps it stick to the sides of the coffee maker and prevents folding. Also remember that the finer the grind, the more flavor you can extract, however a finer grind may also slow the seeping through some filters causing the coffee to become too bitter, this result is called over-brewing.  It is important to find a good balance.

The filter shape itself is often a deciding factor for some consumers, when making a coffee maker purchase. With a basket-style filter, even if you mound the coffee grounds in the middle, they tend to redistribute during the brewing process and the drip saturates only a portion of the coffee grounds. Even with an enhanced shower head drip design, concentration remains somewhat limited. But with a cone filter, the drip saturates the majority of the grounds, resulting in a bolder, richer flavor of coffee. And, when you grab the cheapest filters you may find, many believe, that the filter can possibly alter your coffee experience.

Reusable coffee filters are typically made of plastic and metal, though models made of hemp or gold are also available. The fine metal mesh cup holds the coffee filters and allows the water to drip through. Reusable coffee filters can be reused many times until the filter breaks.

The quality of coffee from these and the health issues associated with them is debated by some. However, I prefer to stay with unbleached paper filters. My coffee tastes great and the filter paper and grounds are biodegradable.
