ROBUSTA ROCKS #YesWeCanEphora

 

I 💓 Robusta, and so:

⬜  do

⬜  could

⬜  should

(tick where applicable)

YOU !

Well anyway, read and see for -and hopefully convince- yourself here below, where I gathered and compiled a whole bunch of fine (Fine!) Robusta links to texts, audios and videos, with lots of opinions, deliberations and PRAISE!

🎵 We've come a long, long way together
    Through the hard times and the good
    I have to celebrate you, baby
    I have to praise you like I should 🎵

• Fine robusta has become the subject of increasing focus in recent years
• Some fine robustas sell for little more than a commodity arabica coffee
• It could threaten the future of Central American production – but there are barriers in the way

               ☕

"Robusta will continue its march into the West. The quality and availability of traceable canephoras will capture the imaginations of forward-thinking coffee companies, curious coffee drinkers, and folks who had historically stuck with “low brow” consumption. This will reach what I think is a good sized market of those “left behind” by the light, bright, and fruity coffee wave of the past decade-plus.”

#AllAboutCoffee

"Het werk 'All About Coffee' van William H. Ukers uit 1922 blijft een van de belangrijkste werken over koffie. In welgeteld 36 hoofdstukken schrijft Ukers over koffie: van plant tot kopje, van vroegere tijden tot de eigen tijd." 

"From its historic roots and the drinking customs of different countries to its effects on the mind and the preparation of the perfect cup, this book captures all the rich and complex history of coffee." 

"The original homage to the world's most extraordinary drink!"

"In 1922, William H. Ukers wrote the definitive work on coffee. As the founder of the @TCTradeJournal, an industry magazine still active today, he spent 17 years traveling the world and uncovering everything there was to know about both the bean and the beverage. From its historic roots and the drinking customs of different countries to its effects on the mind and the preparation of the perfect cup, this book captures all the rich and complex history of coffee." 

"Filled to the brim with robust facts, aphorisms, and more, 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 culls the best of Ukers's research and observations sip after sip, page after page." 

The last page ... #796

"Even if I might never be able to read the whole book at once, I would be happy to just sit with it now and then whenever I wished to disappear into the lanes of old Italy and watch the busy lady at the desk brew a cup of hot coffee. Beautiful, beautiful book!" ♥

Ukers, William H. 1873-1954
