A pound of weight loss per week - of course , without doing anything for it: green coffee extract is of wasting excess fat. The trend comes from the USA and is also continuing in Germany . What's behind it ?<br />
<br />
Fitness knowledge and magazines report on " Slim Trick Green coffee fat burner " or promise " rapid weight loss with extract of green coffee beans ." The trend in the United States at least since the end of last year conquered Germany . On the Internet, offers and promises accumulate around the expensive supplements , obtained from unroasted coffee beans. Critical voices are rare.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
A proper boost missed the coffee extract 2012 Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania and colleagues. For a study, the researchers divided slimmers are slightly overweight ( BMI between 25 and 30) into three groups and gave them for six weeks, a high dose of green tea extract (1050 mg) , a low dose (700 mg) or ineffective Capsules ( placebos ) . After each run, the participants took 14 days nothing, then they changed the drug.<br />
Five and a half months after the initial investigation showed the analysis : Although the subjects had not changed their eating habits , they weighed an average of eight pounds less , corresponding to a weight loss of about ten percent. They had a BMI decreased by almost three points , and their body fat percentage was decreased by four percentage points. Lost the most weight , participants in the periods in which they took the green coffee extract . As evidence that melts fat extract of green coffee, the study is not good yet, only 16 people had taken part , for a meaningful result too few .<br />
<br />
The largest study on green coffee extract was previously held on American TV - a station dedicated to the coffee extract an entire show and tested it equal to 100 female studio guests . The balance sheet: Who got two weeks green coffee extract, lost in this period on average just under a kilo . In the comparison group, there were about 0.5 pounds. However, this study has hooks. Thus, the participants had about diary of their diet. This alone can already lead to changed eating habits .<br />
<br />
Chlorogenic acid is to stop oil production<br />
<br />
"For decades, we see weight loss pills come and go ," says Volker Schusdziarra , Director of Nutritional Medicine at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar in Munich. " And they always seem to start promising, but then turn out to be a flop . " Even substances such as some appetite suppressant , you know exactly the mechanism of action would have been unsuccessful .<br />
<br />
Behind the effect of coffee extract is chlorogenic acid insert that is largely degraded during roasting of coffee and is therefore used mainly in green , unroasted beans. In addition, it is also found in other plants such as artichokes , potatoes or nettles .<br />
<br />
Laboratory experiments in mice suggest that chlorogenic acid may inhibit enzymes in high concentrations , and add the converted sugar and fat in the body. In humans , the acid is to prevent the blood sugar levels after eating is skyrocketing and fat to be stored . In a small experiment took trial participants who drank coffee with added chlorogenic acid and sugar , compared to just seven percent less sugar than participants who sugary regular or decaffeinated coffee had been drinking . However, the number of participants was also in this study with twelve subjects again extremely low.<br />
<br />
A review of 2011 concludes : "The study results are promising, but all the studies are of poor quality . " Schusdziarra says, " we basically know about the effects of green tea extract anything." Just as little is known about potential side effects.<br />
Eat half<br />
<br />
Anyone who reads the product by the manufacturer on the effectiveness of green coffee extract exactly , quickly realizes how little you actually know , " Chlorogenic acid is known to support a healthy diet and weight conscious ," it says . On another web page written by a manufacturer : " Green coffee proves to be perfect supplement for people who want to lose weight permanently with diet and fitness. "<br />
<br />
" It's such a total rip off and sprawl on the market," commented Schusdziarra . The only sensible way to fight obesity is to switch the diet . The physician uses a method in which one takes not less, but lower-energy foods. Sport was also only a junior partner in weight loss : " For example, to work off the energy of a quark bag, you have to drive an hour to 15 kilometers per hour wheel . " The fact remains : who is healthy and wants to lose weight must ran himself - to his diet.<br />

<br />
Klaus Veeh , Managing Partner of the club Würzburg drinking coffee , four cups daily fair-trade coffee .<br />
Best quality : the first half of the club sat 26 tons of coffee Würzburg partner ab.CHRIST<br />
The producers of the Würzburg coffee partner must go through a certification process to get the Fairtrade<br />
<br />
A poster announces that coffee " fairbindet " . White paper bags emblazoned on the colorful logo of the " Würzburg partner coffee " . Over a range of yellow coffee bags hanging on a world map. Almost everything in the office of Klaus Veeh revolves around the theme of " coffee " . For 15 years, there is the partner of coffee is produced by small farmers in Tanzania. The project " Partners Coffee " is a success story . "Every year our sales grow by up to ten percent," says Veeh .<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
The sales area is now erstrecke " from Rosenheim to Kiel " . In the far north of the product as " Kilimanjaro coffee " , is marketed as " Minden coffee " within Minden . 51 tons of coffee were sold partners in Germany last year, according to the secretary of the association . 15 years ago there were just 18 tons.<br />
<br />
The club promises to run even short-term delivery requests promptly. Also for manager Klaus Veeh in Kürschnerhof is responsible . " Whoever calls at 8 clock , the clock stands at 9 ready the goods . " The prompt delivery with coffee sales prevents the migrating customers to the competition. The timing also contributes significantly to the success story of Wurzburg partner coffees. The will to perpetuate this year, Veeh is convinced. Is but the first half of 2013 with 26 tons already a ton of expectations.<br />
<br />
The consistently high standard of quality coffees partner is another plus. The product of Tanzania consists of large AA Arabica beans - " and indeed of the same size. " They are suitable for all machines , including those that are in commercial kitchens. The green coffee is roasted in coffee brown in Mainaschaff . The company is the idea of "fair trade" closely connected and one of the founding members of the partnership Aschaffenburg coffee.<br />
<br />
In the first years of the Würzburg partner cooperated with a coffee roasting plant in Africa. But the quality was sometimes very bad . Veeh : " Once we could not sell an entire container . Which meant that we have hunted 50 000 euros through the vent. "<br />
<br />
Coffee is grown mainly in poor regions. Poorly trained workers , child labor and hard physical labor dominate the picture. Compared to the international acquirers are the producers in an extremely weak position. Projects such as the Würzburg partners to counter the coffee here . The coffee cooperative in Mahenge in Würzburg partner dioceses Mbinga that grows arabica coffee in the highlands , receives fair prices above the level of the world market . Social working conditions are a must. In fair trade producers are respected as equal partners and helps to find ways out of poverty. In the case of Würzburg partner coffees beyond the club team is also committed to the certification of the cooperatives.<br />
<br />
Because it is so expensive to get the title of Fair Trading , a private investigator has been appointed certification locally. The process is also difficult because many documents must be worried. That takes a lot of money, says Veeh : "With at least 4000 euros must be reckoned with. " But was great interest in the certification " .

<br />
Obertshausen - Going past the coffee at the supermarket shelf, you need quite a while. Meters long pads and capsules are lined, the business is booming with the rapid cup. Lena Marie Jörger<br />
<br />
240 kg of coffee beans summarizes the roaster by Andreas Hühsam.<br />
But the coffee roasting Joerges in Hausen continues to rely on tradition and remains in the whole bean. A handsome mid-fifties, in a dark suit, casually sipping on a glass of espresso. The Nespresso commercials knows nearly everyone. The cult of the brightly colored aluminum capsules no end, pendants evoke the special taste.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Hühsam Andreas, the coffee roasting Joerges directs with his brother Peter, does not believe in the capsule religion. He sold the brown beans at a time and will not do anything about it for now. "If the coffee is freshly ground only in fully automatic, which is a completely different taste experience," which Hühsam is convinced. Since 1982, when it took over the company from his father, the brothers roast coffee daily, approximately 80 tons per month.<br />
<br />
"People always put more emphasis on quality"<br />
<br />
The business with the bean still worth it. "People always put more emphasis on quality," says Hühsam. "The claim is different." A good cup of coffee is now a luxury for many. Luxury, which must be cooked quickly especially. Instead of blanch to grandma's powder in the filter reaches a button today and already the hot beverage into the cup.<br />
<br />
Of ground coffee into aluminum capsules or pads Hühsam holds little. About this shade but it inevitably had to jump to reach customers without fully automatic. When it's the powder but only in conventional bags.<br />
<br />
Set to whole beans<br />
<br />
Hühsam instead it uses whole beans, either sorted as "100 percent Arabica" or in mixtures, such as the "Espresso delicato". What makes the Hausener coffee: "It is roasted at low temperatures twelve to 18 minutes," says the CEO. "This is particularly gentle." Then the coffee is packaged, "rusty as they say."<br />
A total of 34 varieties, the coffee roaster in the range, so that supplies bakeries, system gastronomy and restaurants throughout Germany. But also individuals among the customers. Eighteen months ago, pulled the entire coffee roasting from Sachsenhausen to the Hausener Raiffeisen road. The effort has paid off. "The Obert Hausener have welcomed us with open arms."<br />
<br />
Coffee: The five major studies<br />
<br />
Even the small café, the same can make the taste test in which customers purchase the beans running well. What was once thought of as a hobby for novel Hühsam nephew, is now here to stay.<br />
<br />
From time to time, the brothers are working on new mixes. "It's like a cook, everyone has their recipes," explains Andreas Hühsam. The private brand "Gorilla", which includes two-and four espresso coffee places, was his idea. Meanwhile, the logo, a monkey in a yellow suit, the flagship of the family business.<br />
<br />
Three times a week, the two brothers entertain you with potential new supplies before they give the agent the OK to purchase in Hamburg. Between eight and ten cups of coffee drinking Andreas Hühsam day, he estimates.

Beans of the brand "Black Ivory Coffee» all time already hiked by an elephant.<br />
<br />
In the digestive tract of elephants he should get its unique flavor. Converted 34 euros paid for the portion of coffee Nuttall.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
25 elephants in Chiang Saen eat the fruits and excrete the coffee beans from undigested says the Canadian company founder Blake Dinkin the news agency dpa. Your digestive enzymes break up proteins and thus create a special flavor, he says. This type of coffee production is not new: In Indonesia and Vietnam coffee is produced from the dung of civet cats. The "Kopi Luwak" is appreciated by coffee lovers around the world.<br />
<br />
Only with a single gastric organisms have the necessary enzymes to digest the coffee fruit, so that the bitter substances can be reduced. Also, the food can not be chewed strong. This will damage the beans and makes it harder to clean them and roast. Coffee fruits require about 24 hours to get from one end of an elephant on the other hand, says Dinkin. This is an advantage: The slow fermentation in the gut of elephants wearing the "flowery" taste at.<br />
<br />
Elephants on the coffee itself had no effect. Caffeine in the bean is only released when the coffee is cooked. Thailand is well-suited for the project, says Dinkin. In the Southeast Asian country coffee is grown, and there are several thousand domesticated elephants. Many were no longer needed when Thailand banned the felling of timber in the 1990s.<br />
<br />
Some of these elephants at the sanctuary of the process now, "Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation» Coffee for Dinkin. He paid the mahouts (elephant leaders) converted about 380 euros a month for the "services" of their elephants and another two euros per kilogram of manure derived from the coffee beans.<br />
<br />
"This is not a brand that will be sold at Starbucks," says Dinkin. "It is a unique coffee, and I do not that it ends in cheap cafes, or as a kind of joke articles". The 42-year-old has invested in recent years, more than 230,000 euros in the project. This year he would like to produce about 70 kilograms of coffee. In the coming years, the amount will increase to up to 300 kilograms per year. € 34 cost 35 grams "Black Ivory" in the handful of luxury hotels, where the coffee is currently available.<br />
<br />
The high price of "Black Ivory Coffee» justifies Dinkin at cost: For a kilo of coffee his company takes 30 kilograms of coffee beans. In the digestive process, some may be lost. Moreover, the production is labor intensive because the beans are picked by hand from the elephant dung. There are also other risks Dinkin explains: "When they go swimming and it can be a little plop, then I lose the whole load.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03171471188611771644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395636805898034285.post-55944953784478305342013-06-23T04:30:00.001-07:002013-06-23T04:30:12.345-07:00Fight for coffee capsules - Bochum competition for NespressoThe market for coffee capsules controversial.<br />
Bochum. The top dog Nespresso coffee capsules, which advertises with Hollywood star George Clooney, is facing stiff competition from Tchibo and Jacobs. But small providers like Zuiano with roots in Bochum cavort in the highly coveted growth market of portioned coffee.<br />
<br />
Germany is a nation of coffee drinkers. 149 liters of drinking on average each citizen per year, more than water and beer. The trend is coffee made from fresh beans and ground into capsules. The segment is highly competitive. Nestlé Nespresso capsule top dog who advertise movie star George Clooney, the competition is getting more on the fur.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, the U.S. food group Mondelez (Tassimo, Jacobs) announced plans to bring in the second half of coffee capsules on the market that fit in Nespresso machines. Mondelez European coffee business is the number one and number two worldwide.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
When the food company Nestlé in 1991 brought the first Nespresso machine on the market, the world was still in order for the Giants. Nestlé had the monopoly in which the coffee powder of different flavors to keep it fresh technology and aluminum capsules particularly long. But now many of the patents have expired for the capsules. Lawsuits against imitators lost Nestlé.<br />
<br />
Every citizen drink 149 liters of coffee per year<br />
More and more providers will benefit from the growing capsule market. According to the German Institute of coffee 10,000 tons of coffee were sold in capsules in the past year. This represents an increase of 16 percent compared to in 2011. "It seems that capsules provide a lifestyle feeling," said institute head Holger Preibisch.<br />
<br />
Around the Coffee Capsule<br />
Coffee capsules that fit in Nespresso machines also offer about Ethical Coffee Company, Cafe Vergnano and Douwe Egberts. Starbucks wants to get together with Kruger in the business. Consumer advocates warn, however, that these generic capsules do not always fit perfectly into the Nespresso machine.<br />
<br />
Despite increased competition, the convenient capsules remain expensive compared to conventional filter coffee or espresso. With a cup of Nespresso costs up to 39 cents. A cup of espresso from the traditional 250-gram pack beats an average of five cents to book.<br />
<br />
The Hamburg coffee roaster Tchibo, the machine with its own capsule system under the name "Cafissimo" previously only sold in its own outlets and depots, will bring out new machines with the Italian coffee machine manufacturer Saeco. The collaboration with Saeco opened Tchibo claims to be the opportunity to sell the "Cafissimo" machines in electronics stores and department stores.<br />
<br />
Environmentalists criticize coffee capsules because of the high waste volume. Manufacturers argue that aluminum is 100 percent recyclable. Meanwhile, there are also compostable capsules<br />
<br />
Worldwide sales to coffee capsules around six billion euros. Mondelez expects that by 2016 in Western Europe, more than a third of the coffee is sold in capsules. Background: There are more and more one-and two-person households for the purchase of large coffee packets not counted.<br />
<br />
George Clooney promotes Nespresso<br />
With competition so far can not compete with the huge advertising budget, the chic Nespresso shops and celebrities George Clooney, the start-up company looking for a niche Zuiano Coffee with roots in Bochum. "We rely on community involvement, quality and price," says Jan Wieseke, marketing professor at the Ruhr-University Bochum. He founded together with former Tchibo buyers Till and Robert Kaufmann Michael Brink Zuiano Coffee early 2012.<br />
<br />
Ten cents per pack flow in a Brazilian orphanage. When the green coffee selection and the 24-minute roasting taste stand in the foreground. And at the end of the Zuiano capsule is even up to 30 percent cheaper than the original Nespresso, this costs about 42 cents per cup.<br />
<br />
Bochum start-up company wants to work socially sustainable<br />
"Our heels are very good. It's a good six-digit number every month. "Capsules are to order online and buy in a supermarket Bochum. Not be measured in euros and cents is the scientific value. For the example of the coffee capsules, Bochum marketing students can observe first hand how a new product on the market can be successfully placed. Because so far Zuiano was made known only through Internet media, such as Google, Facebook and blogs and advertised. Now the students are now building a video for the online channel YouTube.<br />
<br />

"It's exciting to go right into practice," says Michael Verbücheln. Tobias Woitek has established contacts with the media, to warm them to report on the young company. Pischel and Stefanie hopes of working on concrete capsule project better job opportunities after graduation: "Today we have already demonstrated an internship to get an internship," she says.<br />
<br />
At the end of the project, Professor Wieseke hoped for an answer to the burning question whether it can compete with the occupation of a niche own against George Clooney and the advertising budget of Nespresso "What's in it a company if it functions socially sustainable?" And<br />

Bavarian restaurateurs allow yourself to think on the subject of beer a lot. Instead of using Coke or Sprite, it can also be combined with coffee, like Marc Eisenbarth, owner of Café Müncher gugelhupf shows now.<br />
Together with the Giesing brewery Eisenbarth has now released the mixed drink "ring cake coffee and wheat." It consists of 93 percent and 7 percent, top-fermented beer made from coffee beans. The alcohol content is 5.8 percent.<br />
The created by him coffee wheat sold Eisenbarth now in his ring cake cafe in Munich. For a 0.33-liter bottle of the guest pays 3.80 euros. From the autumn there will be the mixed drink in the Giesing Braeustueberl beer maker. The "ring cake coffee and wheat" was not the first attempt at brewing restaurateurs. In 2012 he tried a similar drink, but failed in the German brewing law. The bottles were not properly labeled, the ingredients are not specified.<br />

In the new creation all the ingredients are now listed on the label. At the Oktoberfest Eisenbarth must not pour the drink, however. There, only the six Munich breweries are allowed their beers, corresponding to the German purity law sell.<br />

Meanwhile, buzzing his little shop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mmmhhhh. . . Tino Rosendahl like the flavor of the coffee beans. Two and a half years since he resides with his roasting on Wall Street. Photo: Achim Blazy<br />
"You need 15 grams of coffee for two cups It is estimated about 60 grams per liter and the water should not be above 93 degrees hot when pouring But actually it's not about math -.... Taste but" On request there is in Tino Rosendahl coffee roasting on Wall Street since both two and a half years. "The start was already a risk for us," says Rosendahl. Meanwhile, he and his wife Angela need to special times busy periods, Fridays and Saturdays, personal gain.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
That it was meant to be, it was not obvious for both coffee enthusiasts readily. Studied Anglist and media scientists - - While Rosendahl had meticulously researched the market before the entry into self-employment. "But it takes even the first year in practice, to find out if such an idea works." Currently, he is on target in terms of utilization of his desires.<br />
<br />
ROASTER GUILD<br />
Merger of the coffee experts<br />
Green coffee refers Rosendahl through importers in Hamburg and Bremen. About 300 kilos of coffee beans he finished a month.<br />
The German Röstergilde provides training. Because of a meeting of the guild is business on Monday, 29 April closed.<br />
Rosendahl's idea grew to be a time when he was still working as a media planner and interested home for the seemingly simple question: "What is good coffee" For him, this is definitely a coffee, he not only knows the finishing of the raw bean to the finished drink in all variants, but also masters themselves. Pure craftsmanship - the customers in the café business can watch it. In one corner of the business is the company Probat roaster of Emmerich's tradition. Rosendahl is based on long-term drum roasting. One method that unwanted irritants and bitter substances can be reliably disappear from the beans. At the other end of the production chain is conceivable short of the glory of the house: a dreigruppige Italian espresso machine from Italy, born in 1961. "This is completely restored and runs at us day and night, so to speak," says Rosendahl. "These type machines Faema E 61 are a legend." That in serving coffee and punch cans (French press) is ("the powder can be drawn four minutes, stirring a little part of it") and requested decaf latte macchiato with soy milk - such niceties Rosendahl mentioned in passing.<br />
<br />
The composition of its specialty coffee for him is still on his life and a thing, "the man must accompany". Machines alone do because nothing, be they ever so functional and chic.<br />
<br />
In addition, the characteristics of the coffee business come in comparatively small: For example, the roaster must be meticulous records on each batch of coffee beans that he roasts and sells - for Customs. Which checks if the coffee tax due is paid correctly.<br />
<br />

Lünen remains Fairtrade town. That's for almost two years after the first award of the title. Of light and shadow in terms of Fairtrade informed in Luenen Dr. Ulrich Weber (LIGA), Jutta Guelzow (Consumer) and Gabriele Schiek (city).<br />
<br />
The balance after two years:<br />
It has improved a lot, but there are also shadows. Lünen is allowed to use the title "Fair Trade Town" in fact more durable. Who is certified for the second time, retains the title. This is expected on 27 September to be celebrated before the City Council.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
That went well:<br />
Thanks to the retailers and discounters are already a respectable range of goods fair. And it has reached new districts, namely children, young people and parents. Thus, the Käthe-Kollwitz-comprehensive school since the end of 2012 "Fairtrade School 'and Kita Rudolph Nagell-road will get the title" Fair Kita "in July. It would be desirable if more schools and childcare centers seek this title. The children get an early awareness of fair trade products.<br />
<br />
So is a fair trade in the town hall:<br />
Fair coffee is served, for example, in the committee and council meetings and in the antechambers of the department heads. As part of the revision of the tariff law faithfulness new standards are to be incorporated, including the fair area. Plans are still discussions with the urban societies.<br />
So it looks at retail:<br />
We have updated the flyer about fair trade products in the textile sector, there are some new seals. In Lüner retailing has yet to make a difference though. Outdoor and functional clothing but it already gets from fair trade. In a letter to the textile retail this is asked to call upon the supplier to work for minimum wage and the building and fire protection in Bangladesh.<br />
<br />
The other tasks are:<br />
In the grave stones we appeal to comply with European stones. Others may be produced by child labor. It is on this issue, a new flyer in the works. And we learn about fair flowers for weddings with many partners.TKtraderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549433364534488671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395636805898034285.post-40016273318646686872012-11-02T01:06:00.002-07:002012-11-02T01:06:23.866-07:00Elephants refine coffee beans<br />
Black Ivory is the most expensive coffee in the world / connoisseurs appreciate the smooth taste<br />
<br />
Chiang Mai. Refine coffee (Extract and more information on the book "coffee"), which can not only legendary civets in Java, but also some 30 elephants from the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa (excerpt and more information on the book "Spa") in northern Thailand. They are heavily involved in the rarest and also curious coffee in the world, the "Black Ivory Coffee", which has recently been sold exclusively at the Anantara Resorts in Thailand and the Maldives, and a price of 1100 U.S. dollars per kilogram on the world market traded.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The procedure is as simple as effective: the elephants eat the coffee cherries. By the digestive juices that are refined in a natural way. Enzymes act on the caffeine proteins and neutralize them largely, and the coffee will taste less bitter, is mild, without sacrificing flavor. The rest is for the mahouts and their families who collect the excreted beans and let them dry in the sun.<br />
Basis for the rarity is a selection of Thai Arabica beans, which are harvested in 1500 meters. For a cup of Black Ivory to have the elephants and their owners to have the goods. To obtain 1 kg of roasted coffee, some 10,000 beans are needed that the elephant went to the heart - the equivalent of 33 pounds of coffee cherries.<br />
But the effort is worth it - not only for the coffee connoisseur, but also for the producers: For 8 percent of the sale proceeds will benefit the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, a foundation that was established by Anantara in life and under whose auspices the project stands. With the money earned so far succeeded, 30 elephants and their owners to provide a reliable livelihood.<br />

Gymnasium students learn to "Brebit" interdisciplinary in the library on global issues<br />
JÜTERBOG - For the ninth time in these days in many schools instead of the annual "Brandenburg development education days" (Brebit). With a total of 170 experts give lectures on the project days to know about current world events and topics that are not part of the core curriculum.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
"This year is the long way of food and our world between hunger and abundance, the main issue," said the provincial coordinator Michaela Blaske. They set themselves for years to ensure that interdisciplinary instruction takes place reinforced. "Until these issues are much too strict taught separately for subjects," she said. "You can not teach much longer only in geography lessons from a geographic perspective. Large developments are closely linked. When it comes to fair trade coffee, hunger or climate change, just play biology, history, economics, politics and even math a big role. "<br />
<br />
The project days offer hands-on lectures for students to impart knowledge effectively. The offer is aimed at all types of schools and classes. From a catalog of more than 90 lectures, teachers can choose the topics about which an expert working with the students.<br />
<br />
In the 9th High School Class of Jüterboger interest was a day coffee and fair trade. Taught was this time in the library Jüterboger, "break up the usual, rigorous learning environment and to promote the interest of the students," said her teacher Wilfried Langer. The concept is. How laborious it is to peel a coffee cherry to have to come to the bean test the students. Between bookshelves and even boiled milk with coffee, they learned almost as an afterthought, what should be taught at a fair trade coffee.<br />
<br />
"I book the project regularly for five years for my students, which revives the lessons very much," said Langer. He wishes that more fellow teachers would use the service regularly and confirmed: "The children in this way is much more fun to learn and get more." (By Kathrin Burghardt)<br />

But the days of cheap filter coffee seem to be over, many are interested in it, with which beans, which roast or what machine they can prepare the best coffee.<br /><br />The coffee beans that tilts Hans bull in his coffee are green. Only in the machine of the Berlin start-ups they are roasted coffee Toto - revolution for revolution, the beans darken and puff up. Gradually, the smell of freshly roasted coffee spread. The founder Hans Philipp Gaerte bull and sell a new coffee machine for home use, toasting the coffee before it grinds and boiled.<br /><br />So that, if the trend of the time, many German and more interested in it, what with beans, which roast or what machine they can prepare the best coffee. Where to put a rather Finish solutions like Nespresso capsules and Senseo pads, it seems other users can not be consuming enough.<br /><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />Favorite drink of the Germans<br />Coffee is the most popular drink of the Germans. Around 6.4 kilos of green coffee consumed every German on average per year. In a European comparison lies in the upper middle. While the Finns consume with 12.1 kilos per capita almost twice as much, it is in Turkey just half a kilo per person per year. 1953 amounted in Germany only the consumption to about 1.5 pounds per person. Filter coffee is, according to the German Coffee Association in Germany by far the most popular: Away from home consumed about half of the coffee drinkers (52.8 percent), traditional coffee. Both 16 percent of consumers go order coffee specialties such as cappuccino or latte macchiato.<br /><br />The two founders of coffee Toro want to start with their idea of the most versatile machine in the coffee market. With around 149 liters per capita coffee is the most consumed beverage in Germany - before bottled water. Coffee was even in times of crisis, good business, says Regina Schmidt, an expert on consumer goods at the Munich Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. "Coffee is a luxury item for the Germans, on the one reluctant to dispense. The coffee prices rise, in part because the beans are more expensive on the world market. Nevertheless, the consumption of coffee has not changed. "There is a trend towards more expensive products. For good quality and comfortable handling, people gladly paid more, says Schmidt.<br /><br />Many young companies try in the business with the beans: The Berlin of Mykona.de sell on its website from small coffee-growing regions such as Sumatra or from Nepal. This varietal coffee costs 36 to 43 euros per kilo. The Passau Black Pirate Coffee Crew or the Munster of Sonntagmorgen.com go with similar concepts at the start.<br /><br />Even Moritz Waldstein, founder of Coffee Circle suspects, in the coffee shop with his chance. The Berlin founded more than a year together with Robert Rudnick and Martin Elwert an online shop for fair trade organic coffee specialties. "There is a huge movement of people who are tired of capsules because they produce so much waste and this coffee is not very good," said Wallenstein. He and his colleagues go back every year, even after Ethiopia, and selecting the best coffees in the season of their business. It was like with the wine, says Waldstein. "It taste good and not all equal to Bordeaux." The green beans are in containers shipped across the Atlantic, roasted directly in the warehouse district in Hamburg roastery, packed and sold online.<br /><br />Per kilo sold donate one Euro to the founders of social projects. Whether the money should be used to build a school or a solar system, the customer can select a mouse click even. At Coffee Circle costs about 24 euros a kilo of coffee. Waldstein knows he chooses this price to the mass market. "Not everyone can spend so much money for it," he says. The clientele for his coffee but is still present. "There are people who worry about their CO2 emissions and for a cup of coffee do not want to just press a button."<br /><br />Expensive labels<br /><br />Unlike Coffee Circle wants coffee Toro conquer the mass market - they sell each kilo of coffee for 14 euros. Therefore the price to manufacturers such as Dallmayr Prodomo or Tchibo is competitive. "We want the coffee kitchens of authorities and companies, there is a lot of coffee drinking," says Hans bull. The start-up has won the coffee importer Karlheinz Rieser as shareholders. Rieser has worked for 20 years as a buyer for Tchibo. He buys the coffee from farms in Costa Rica, India, Brazil and Ethiopia. The direct contact with the coffee farmers to ensure that the quality is right. On a seal of approval such as Fairtrade or organic, the founders have waived: Because that one has to pay a fee to the organization. In the Fairtrade eleven cents for a pound of coffee would. "It was too expensive for us," says Bull, "we will rather give the money directly to the coffee farmers."<br /><br />Your machine Toro-founders can be developed in South Korea. They roast the beans between seven and ten minutes at 180 degrees. The consumer can choose how dark the beans are roasted and how fine the coffee should be ground. Who wants to have such a machine at home, I pay 150 euros, the repairs are included.<br /><br />Although manufacturers such as Kraft Foods, Tchibo and Aldi sell for years most coffee admit there is room for innovative ideas, says Regina Schmidt, Roland Berger. With small volumes could be written with high quality a good deal.<br /><br />Coffee Circle shows in videos on its website, such as the coffee is ground in Ethiopia or the tricks of the infusion through a filter still tastes better. Coffee Toro wants to pass the knowledge on coffee tastings. "The Germans are still more concerned about how many layers will have their toilet paper, instead of about what coffee they drink," said Stier. The change he wants. He himself does not come without two liters of coffee a day to make ends meet.<br />TKtraderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549433364534488671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395636805898034285.post-48802162927515158422012-10-16T08:41:00.003-07:002012-10-16T08:41:52.248-07:00Delicate aroma of coffee beans from Ethiopia<br />
Cornelia pointed Villingen. Ethiopia was suddenly in the new concert hall. The earthy smell of freshly roasted coffee beans moved into thick clouds of smoke over the stage, the visitors breathed relish, some with closed eyes, and the first travel documentary series by Michael Hoyer's "story VS" took its course.<br />
<br />
Beautiful landscapes, even gamely, then fissured, gorgeous rolling green landscapes on the one hand and on the other bone-dry deserts, villages with the very simple round huts of the natives, and deserted landscapes of a still active, bubbling volcano. And every now and again: coffee break, no: Ceremony, when Ethiopian women the beans by hand over an open fire roast, crush with a mortar and take time to enjoy the most beautiful kind of coffee: in a familiar, relaxed atmosphere with friends and the family.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
The familiar round of course had to give the audience in the sold-new concert hall, the traditional coffee ceremony, but that did: live on stage, with roasting over an open charcoal fire.<br />
<br />
Not very spectacular was the story that presented itself to the public. But even more surprising: starving children with snotty, distended bellies and bulging eyes were sought in vain.<br />
<br />
No, what the Touratech-founder Herbert Schwarz and his wife, Ramona, a photojournalist, showed in her film, was Ethiopia, as the audience did not expect. And they themselves do not - certainly not collect after Ramona Schwarz had already in 2001 dubious travel experience in Ethiopia may, culminating in the fact that they had been arrested: Only almost of an apparent savages, he was naked, "wore an ammunition belt and scars "for the enemy, whom he had killed, then, to her happiness, of a man whose function of a police officer is likely to come next and just saw a chance to save Ramona Schwarz and her former traveling companion in front of the warrior: You caught to take.<br />
<br />
Long Ramona Schwarz is free again - and this freedom she feels in common with her husband Herbert only too happy to wide-sweeping journey through the wide world on a motorcycle. But they also gave Ethiopia a second chance - and they should not regret. Their motivation: to know the country in which "the best coffee in the world" comes the order, the two already in the form of green beans to roast and then himself, grind and brew.<br />
<br />
On Saturday night, they invited their Ethiopian journey into the New Concert Hall and left a deep impression: a phenomenally illustrated film factory backed, sometimes with cinematic melodies, then again with the singing of local people insights into Ethiopia, as they probably only get in those individual travel, and one speaker pair told wonderfully natural and unaffected by his impressions.<br />
<br />
Only one that would have required a lot more: a cup of coffee from Ethiopia, which was originally prepared in this form only to those persevering patiently in front of the stage, has been bestowed.<br />

Earlier in the store at the Gutenberg street was a butcher, now here is roasted coffee. In the corner of the room blaring the two meter high roaster. "For others, is what makes the machine noise. For me, the music, "says the roast master of the coffee roasting Cheerful, Manfred Fröhlich.<br /><br />Ten pounds of green coffee beans coffee trained sommelier has just filled through a funnel into the machine. Now leaves the heat fly the beans through the drum - it cracks inside, burst because the skin of the beans. Manfred Fröhlich has looked for safety on the clock, but in the end he decides to feel when the coffee is ready after 15 to 20 minutes, to be discharged into the colander to cool. He constantly checks on a small slider, as the beans are brown. Industrially roasted coffee would only two to three minutes and the roasted about twice as hot as them when told cheerful - it shakes him inwardly at the thought of the poor industrial coffee aroma.<br /><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />The coffee roasting Cheerful in the West is just one example of the fine little scene at coffee roasters, which was established in Stuttgart for some years. While most Stuttgarters today just might come highlands when it's about a local provider of high quality, roasted in Stuttgart coffee, there are a few more names: The Frohlich roast for example for 13 years in the West, Ercan Özens Glora cafe with its own roasting located in Bad Cannstatt and the east. And former coffee trader Giuseppe Principe ("Caffè Principe") has decided six years ago to roast coffee in Untertürkheim.<br /><br />"We welcome small roasting"<br /><br />In the highlands you look with favor on the very little competition - and vice versa. "We are delighted with small roasting," says Highland spokeswoman Birgit Krausse. Meike and happy, the owner of the roastery Cheerful in the West, says that they ultimately benefited from the highlands - the Stuttgart-quality coffee was worth something.<br /><br />The "largest coffee manufacturer in Germany" is compared to Jacobs, Tchibo and Co. just a Tom Thumb, but compared to the other roasters Stuttgart highlands but with 85 employees and processed approximately 1,000 tons of green coffee per year a giant. In the highlands, where is also set to a long roasting, 70 pounds to fit into the drums, with the small roasters usually ten kilos of land in the machine. Large industrial roasters roasting process every turn even more tons of beans.<br /><br />The "hype" around the coffee started late 90s and had come from America to Germany and thus to Stuttgart recalls Birgit Krausse of Highland. Previously, coffee had a little image problem, he was considered old and quirky. That was with latte over. Today, there are veritable connoisseurs among the coffee drinkers - Stuttgart and cafes that now offer more than 50 varieties of coffee.<br /><br />"People have become more choosy," is the idea of Giuseppe Principe. The head of Caffè Principe throws Wednesdays in Untertürkheim his roaster. Anyone interested can come and sit and watch, turn as the green beans. Many a private citizen have now a better coffee maker for the home as restaurateurs. "We try to represent the Italian coffee culture," said the Italian. He has applied for a patent: the name Stuttgart Schäumle he can protect himself, who hides behind a thick coffee with a beautiful crema. It supplied mostly restaurateurs, says Principe.<br /><br />Froehlich also include many restaurateurs with their customers, as the Wielandshöhe and Café Casual in Bauernmarkthalle. Meike Cheerful remembers how outside the store in 1999 were two old women and read the roasting-sign: "You want to roast coffee beans," asked the ladies. This was needed but a factory. The 43-year-old laughs.<br /><br />To roast coffee requires no factory<br /><br />Manfred Fröhlich releases the lid of the roasting drum, the brown bean shoot into the cooling tray and spread their fragrance. Of the ten kilos after roasting still around eight kilos left. Actually, says the 62-year old, he was machine-builders. When his company sent him into early retirement, he first wanted to open a tea shop. Then he had come across the Viennese coffee experts Institute, had trained as a sommelier and support since his daughter Meike. The beauty of his old work: "I like to maintain the machine really fun."<br /><br />Mama also helps with Roswitha cheerful - it is regularly behind the counter to sell the 25 varieties of coffee and mixes. The Frohlich process coffee beans from Central and South America, Papua New Guinea and Java - almost exclusively Arabica green coffee. Meike cheerful drinks prefer the strong Viennese coffee house blend. best run but the Stuttgart-West blend. When Manfred Fröhlich begrudge anything, he is making a "hasty Neumann". But he pours a double mocha over whipped cream. "The spoon I can."<br /><br />HIGH CONSUMPTION - 149 LITER GERMAN COFFEE PER YEAR<br /><br />Coffee Day<br />For the seventh time this Friday Coffee Day is celebrated.

By contrast, there were 107 liters of beer.<br /><br />Tradition<br />Most are old Stuttgart coffee brands no longer there. At Gründner, small or Grasshoff still remember old coffee cans at the flea market. In Helfferichstraße is still Fritsch coffee sold.

Arabica plants grow only in the highlands, the beans are therefore more expensive and have more diverse flavors.

He is in search of wild varieties of the Arabica coffee plant from which are made all over the world, lattes and cappuccinos. The agricultural scientists at Texas A & M University, is director of the nonprofit organization World Coffee Research provided by large companies such as Folgers Coffee and Peet's Coffee & funded Tea. He is the Indiana Jones of the coffee industry.<br /><br />The goal is to expand the tiny gene pool of the global coffee plantations. But in the four days on the plateau west of Ethiopia, the 15 members of Schilling's expedition, no new specimens have been found. They had hoped for help from Nyameron, an expert on wild varieties of coffee, they have taken by a tribal chief of Murle.<br /><br />Companies have expanded their search for new varieties in order to secure its supply in the future. The production has remained the same. But the demand for coffee has increased. That is why the coffee prices have quadrupled since 2001.<br /><br />The yield has been declining since 2005<br />Last year have been consumed in the world 17.6 billion pounds of coffee beans. 1982 there were 2.6 billion, reports the U.S. Department of Agriculture. However, production in Colombia, where they come from ten percent of the world's Arabica beans has dropped by 36 percent since 2005. The yield of the largest producers of arabica Brazil varies considerably in recent years.<br /><br />Are the problems in coffee growing, there are many reasons, experts say: Among climate changes in the growing areas and the population growth in Central America, so many coffee plantations were turned into construction sites.<br /><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />Coffee historians believe that most of the world's Arabica beans, genetically speaking at two plants from the 18 Century decline: one that was brought from Indonesia to Europe and another from Yemen, which has been cultivated in Brazil.<br /><br />Therefore, some experts want to expand the varieties of the coffee industry and cross in order to strengthen them. "The Holy Grail is a heat-resistant variety that produces good coffee," says Patrick Criteser, CEO of Coffee Bean International, a member of the World Coffee Research. "If we could grow this would solve many problems."<br /><br />World Coffee Research aims to bring together competitors in order to solve common problems. But some of the largest corporations pursue their own research projects, to increase the gene pool of the coffees. Nestle explore in a project called Nescafé Plan, the Robusta variety, says a spokeswoman. To support Starbucks maintains support centers with agricultural scientists, local farmers, says a spokeswoman for the company.<br /><br />Specialty Coffee Association of America<br />An expedition in search of wild coffee plants in the Upper Boma mountains in Southern Sudan ..<br /><br />Often there are conflicts with national research institutions that want to protect local interests. Especially in the supposed birthplace of green Arabica plants in Ethiopia, there is often a quarrel between the government and foreign coffee merchants.<br /><br />Starbucks concluded a treaty with Ethiopia in 2007 after the country wanted to protect its most famous coffee beans under trademark law. Ethiopia wanted to get a U.S. patent for the names of the three best coffee growing regions, Yirgacheffe, Sidamo and Harrar, while Starbucks wanted to apply for a patent for a coffee, had the Sidamo behalf.<br /><br />Some believe that projects like this can not succeed without the cooperation of shillings from Ethiopia. "In Ethiopia, the coffee started, and there are by far the highest concentration of genetic material," said Andrea Illy, chief of the Italian espresso illycaffè seller, who has recently joined World Coffee Research.<br /><br />"Coffee is the second most important commodity in the world after oil," says Schilling. "But he has been less explored than peanuts or kumquats."<br /><br />From peanuts to unroasted coffee bean<br />Schilling was formerly an expert on peanut cultivation, until he stopped the U.S. Agency for International Development to revitalize agriculture in Rwanda after the civil war. He was soon clear that peanuts would not be the solution, but coffee, and so he got up to the small coffee farmers to help with scientific methods. The special flavor of the region were now stronger, and Rwandan coffee sold at specialty roasters at higher prices.<br /><br />Schilling's last goal of the Boma plateau, was an unusual place to find coffee. But he had found a kind of treasure map: a report of the botanist AS Thomas, who wrote about how he had found coffee in 1942, the "growing wild and spreading without human help."<br /><br />The coffee experts emigrated from a mission station, about ten miles up a narrow path. "We are looking for genes that can improve the taste and color," and plants with good drought resistance, says botanist Sarada Krishnan, Director of Horticulture at the Denver Botanic Gardens.<br /><br />They were quick to note that a large part of the rainforest, where coffee trees were growing earlier, had been cleared for maize and banana plantations and cattle pastures. The rest of the forest was bone dry due to several periods of drought.<br /><br />Why the Tchibo Rolex for Apple is so important<br />Johannesburg tinkering at the center of the artistic comeback<br />Falling coffee prices push farmers to bitter<br />"We really thought that we would have only a narrow window of time to collect these specimens," says Lindsey Bolger, Director of Green Mountain Coffee Company. "I do not want to exaggerate, but are only just come in time."<br /><br />Healthy Coffee Arabica plants are about three to four meters high and have dark green leaves, white flowers and red or purple beans. But the plants, the researchers found, were too thin to bloom and bear fruit.<br /><br />On the last day of the expedition, the researchers met Nyameron that took them deep into the forest to the largest collection of specimens, which they had previously seen. As the group walked back to camp, saw the English systematists Aaron Davis, a little coffee plant that looked different from the rest.

the example of smallholders in the Central American country of<br />
Nicaragua shows.<br />
Coffee from Nicaragua was in the early days of the fair trade symbol<br />of international solidarity in general. Coffee is still a very<br />important export product for the Central American country - but is the<br />"brown gold" for about four percent of total economic output of the<br />country.<br />
1.5 million bags with 60 kilos of coffee beans produced in the<br />previous year, the bulk of it is shipped via the port of Puerto Cortes<br />in Honduras neighboring country - the USA and Europe. Nicaragua itself<br />has no suitable harbor. The three most important countries for<br />acceptance Nica coffee are the United States, Germany and Venezuela.<br />
Until that happens, however, the coffee bean a laborious and long way:<br />pick the fertile highlands of the Matagalpa region, about 150<br />kilometers from the capital Managua, countless small farmers, the<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />cherry-red fruit of the coffee bushes - and handpicked, so with the<br />so-called "pick" method. This is the daily yield 50-100 kilograms of<br />coffee cherries, which deliver just ten to 20 kilograms of coffee<br />beans. For a 60-pound bag that is three to six harvests are necessary<br />- and the fruit will require approximately 100 shrubs.<br />
Cooperative with 2627 members<br />
Are organized into cooperatives, small farmers, such as "Cecocafen" in<br />Matagalpa. The cooperative was founded in 1997 has twelve<br />sub-cooperatives with a total of 2627 members (700 women) and 8500<br />hectares. For more than ten years Cecocafen even has its own drying<br />system - and can therefore control the entire process of taking over<br />the coffee from small farmers to export to.<br />
A major customer is the Fair Trade Organization (Cecocafen coffee in<br />Austria under the brand "Nica" available), because 40 percent of the<br />total production of the cooperative are Fairtrade certified. This<br />means that these farmers receive a guaranteed minimum price, so a kind<br />of safety net to bottom) of 140 U.S. dollars per quintal (45.4<br />kilograms) and a Fair Trade premium in the amount of 20 dollars per<br />quintal. It is crucial that the premiums in high-price periods (as<br />currently) at the higher world market price can be beat.<br />
How to Use This premium does the cooperative jointly anew each year<br />from a part of it must be mandatory, but investing in quality<br />improvement and productivity enhancement. At the same time certified<br />farmers have some labor laws (no child labor to ten years, the right<br />to freedom of association, discrimination, etc.) and comply with<br />environmental standards.<br />
"With the help of Fair trade, I just can not get my farm better," said<br />Jose Valdivia in the small farming village of Aqua Maria in the<br />Matagalpa region. "It is important for my children, especially the<br />ability to obtain, with the help of a scholarship to attend school.<br />This means that school transport and covered the cost of textbooks.<br />Members of Fair Trade certified farms are entitled to this<br />scholarship. "<br />
The biggest challenge for the cooperative is currently the high world<br />price for coffee: "This means that we need higher spending on the<br />purchase of coffee beans from small farmers," says managing director<br />Maurizio Cecocafen Ruiz. "This presents us with some financial<br />problems before. Fair Trade supports us but this. "<br />
Fair Trade also granted an organic premium of 30 U.S. dollars per<br />quintal. But the farmers are reluctant to change, "organic farming for<br />small farmers is often difficult to finance, can finally reduced at<br />the start of the conversion yield of 30 to 40 percent," says Ruiz.<br />
Dried in the sun<br />
After the cooperative Cecocafen farmers have bought their goods, have<br />the beans quickly processed and, above all, be dried - as in the<br />processing plant "Beneficio Solcafé": "Before drying in the sun, the<br />beans have a moisture level of 40 to 50 percent," Ivan says Zelaya,<br />the manager of Solcafé.<br />
After drying, which would last five days on the stone floor on the<br />ground and up to seven days, as the beans to a moisture level of 12 to<br />13 percent. Within eight hours, the beans are turned over during the<br />drying phase four to six times - usually by seasonal workers, who earn<br />an eight-hour day, about six U.S. dollars.<br />
After drying the coffee beans come to a camp for a month in order to<br />achieve a homogeneous delivery of moisture. Roasted and packed coffee<br />is coming from the Cooperative Cecocafen to Austria, in Groningen in<br />the Netherlands - from there it is transported to Austria.TKtraderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549433364534488671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395636805898034285.post-71074535758541170452010-12-02T06:51:00.000-08:002012-10-15T14:23:04.984-07:00Raw sugar and coffee Arabica prices on multi-year highsFrankfurt (aktiencheck.de AG) - The prices of raw sugar and <a href="http://www.bulkfoodsforsale.co.za/food/coffee/">coffee</a> Arabica in November could rise to multi-year highs, the analysts at Commerzbank Corporates. <br />
<br />
Inflationary were the announcement of a further quantitative easing of U.S. monetary policy, but also offer some disappointing news from some producing countries have been. This season was a balanced relationship between supply and demand expected, which should moderately dampen future price development. With low stocks should stabilize the prices of sugar and coffee at a relatively high level. The cocoa price should evolve in the face of an expected market surplus remains below par. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The analysts expect that the uncertainty and fear of supply shortages in the sugar price would hold until the spring at a high level around 30 U.S. cents. With the new crop in Brazil, the situation should relax and give in to the price of sugar by the end of 2011 to 25 U.S. cents. This is particularly true when the concrete was developed by ISO in a first forecast for next year's harvest expected surplus of 2.5 million tonnes. The development of this year show that the price decline could be much stronger if the financial investors would withdraw their funds. <br />
<br />
For coffee, the supply situation will remain tense. This should help ensure that the prices of Arabica and Robusta in the coming months would remain well supported. Here, the analysts would expect because of harvesting problems in Brazil believe that the price of Arabica develop relatively better. The analysts expect for 2011 with an average price of 215 cents per pound of <a href="http://www.bulkfoodsforsale.co.za/for-sale/coffee-beans/">coffee beans</a> for Arabica and Robusta $ 1,950 per tonne. <br />
<br />
The International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) has yet their appreciation for the balance of the market correction began in October year 2010/11 up and expects a supply surplus of 100 thousand tons. The expected surplus speak for moderate falling cocoa prices in 2011. Analysts at Commerzbank Corporates & Markets expect an average price of 2,650 USD per tonne. In the case of short coverings by financial investors, it could come in the meantime always raise prices.

The raw coffee prices have increased by 30 percent through July, the hope is now on the Brazil crop<br />
Vienna - The world market for coffee has great turmoil currently suspended. Concerns about shortages of the Robusta and Arabica varieties, the prices were on the commodity exchanges in London and New York in the year by 30 percent to skyrocket. Simultaneously, the worldwide coffee consumption, since the year 2000 world quarter.<br />
By the International Coffee Organization (ICO), calculated average price for green coffee in June 2010 rose to 142.2 cents per pound - that's the highest number since the price monitor is created. Compared with June 2009 (119.1 US-Cent/Pfund), this means an increase of 20 percent. By the end of July is the raw coffee price continued to rise to 153.4 cents, an increase of 30 percent over the previous year.<br />
Record prices for arabica beans<br />
Especially high-quality Arabica beans achieved record prices: with 224.5 cents in June 2010 we had a pound for Arabica pay more than twice as much as four years ago (2006: 105.8 US-Cent/Pfund). As a special cost for the European coffee sector is the weak euro against the dollar added. This is of course good news for people having <a href="http://www.bulkfoodsforsale.co.za/for-sale/coffee-for-sale/">coffee for sale</a> offered to these markets.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Declining supplies from producer countries, notably Colombia and Vietnam, the stocks of the international coffee exchanges have, according to experts shrink concern. The inventories have been reduced drastically in recent months, said the managing director of cafe + co, Gerald Steger, told the APA. Steger expected price increases for consumers at present - not yet - who were the current purchases of the coffee roaster backed by ongoing contracts.<br />
In particular, Colombia, traditionally the second biggest coffee producer after Brazil and also the most important sellers of the mild variety popular in Austria Arabica, has in recent years brought fewer crops and has now slipped behind Vietnam and Indonesia ranks fourth among the major producing countries.<br />
2009 was at 7.8 million bags of 60 kilograms in Colombia, the lowest amount harvested the last 33 years, up from 11.1 million bags 2008th Reasons for the setbacks in coffee cultivation in Colombia are heavy rains, the weather phenomenon El Nino, has become more costly fertilizers, insect pests and leaf diseases.<br />
Nationwide reconstruction program<br />
In addition, a nationwide long-term rebuilding program decimated in favor of planting new shrubs coffee harvests in recent years. Because of the modified low coffee prices also many farmers have moved on to the illegal cultivation of cocaine. However, the weather conditions improved so that it could be in the new year 2010/11 was expected to yield greater of 10.5 million bags, analysts said.<br />
But the world's largest supplier of used primarily for the classic espresso Robusta - Vietnam - had modified crop failures. The sales are currently around 20 percent below the previous year. Moreover, preventing an exceptional drought in Uganda, Africa's leading coffee producer, this year the performance of the crop forecasts.<br />
All hope is currently Brazil, although experts expect that previous predictions were screwed on the new harvest is too high. The harvest would still be good, and if enough green coffee comes in the autumn on the market could relax until the end of the prices, hoping Steger.<br />
Stable production expected<br />
The ICO in London pays for the outgoing 2009/10 season with a stable global generation of 120.6 million bags and is only for 2010-11 again an increase to 133-135 million bags in sight. Significantly to this increase should help Brazil can be expected where a 2010-11 harvest of around 50 million bags, which would mean an increase over the previous year of more than one million bags.<br />
At the same time, the worldwide coffee consumption is increasing steadily. According to data of the ICO were last year consumed 132 million bags of coffee - 25 percent more than 2000th For 2010, experts expect despite the economic crisis with a further increase to 134 million bags.<br />
cafe + co belongs to Leipnik-Lundenburger Invest AG, employs 1,200 employees and currently operates with 17 subsidiaries in twelve countries. With up to 5,000 tonnes of green coffee per year, the company is one of the largest coffee buyers in Austria.

Coffee experience of the Plane<br />Karl-Heinz Voigt in Golzow first time invited to a tasting of their own cultivation<br />GOLZOW - Before enjoying the landlord has set the work. Each guest will find about 30 grams of dried raw coffee beans in his cup. This corresponds to the end of the amount of powder for this cup. "And now pulen" says Karl-Heinz Voigt, and ten women and men obediently observe the command. The Golzower that provides occasionally with his crocodile farm headlines, has gone under the coffee farmers. However, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Jacobs Tchibo now need fear competition. Voigt's harvest from the winter garden is so clear "that there is only enough for tastings."<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Five years ago got rid of Voigt's son his little coffee plants. The Golzower cherished and tended it. This year the harvest was four pounds of coffee cherries from relatively well. But only a fifth of them end up staying left as raw beans. Two varieties grow in Voigt. Tasting his guests he served "Yellow Bourbon" beans.<br /><br />For people who consume coffee daily gallons, which would certainly be a Gepule reason to switch to tea. But for lovers? "I could well imagine the evening watching television pulen to coffee beans," says Karin Wagener, who is with her son and husband from Werder came for afternoon coffee at the tarp. Meanwhile, the people rid the beans of the so-called silver skin, Voigt told stories from the coffee story. For example, that Frederick the Great "coffee sniffers" through the towns sent to catch illegal coffee roaster. Or that the forecasts have discovered after the goats coffee. In Ethiopia, a shepherd in the 14th Century have noticed that some of his goats were exhilarated by the area. Those goats, who have enjoyed the fruits of the coffee bush.<br /><br />Now Cherry is not the same bean, but also the flesh has it all. Voigt and his girlfriend Manuela Frankenberg process the pulp into jam. On small slices of white bread they serve guests a taste. "Even if it does not taste good - but there's caffeine in it," says Voigt.<br /><br />In the 70 years, the passion for tropical things in Voigt began. First there were cacti, followed by citrus, then sought the Golzower after animals, go great with it, and came across crocodiles. That was in the '80s.<br /><br />On average, 40 minutes picking the guests. Voigt collect the beans and put them in his roaster. It takes a while to get a scent flag from the unit rises. About 20 minutes to roast the beans. "Here, the bean oils releases," he says. But the smell is sharper, smoke wafts through the room and out the window. "You're probably not gepult clean enough," says Voigt solid. A fan pushes cold air into beans, then they are mahlfertig.<br /><br />Voigt that uses no electric mill, guests can imagine. Manual mills on the table, no decoration. Everyone gets back his portion and allowed to rotate.<br /><br />Finally, the taste test. Voigt pours hot water into cups, Turkish words. But the stirring shows had very little impact. "He finds it difficult to sit down," says Marianne Baier from Rotscherlinde. It takes until the powder remains on the ground. And? "Getting used to," says Monika Naesert from Brandenburg and apparently not really happy. But the woman knows how to help themselves. She pours her coffee through a sieve, and behold: "Now I like it,". So everyone can find his way to the coffee - with Voigt's entertaining and instructive conversation a very special way.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rest on its success? Not a bit!<br />The brothers Strehle GmbH presents the 80th Year of existence, now manufactures the roast. Company annually produces 1,800 tons of coffee substitute mixture for one billion cups<br /><br /><br />More than just business model: Enthusiastic director Franz Lang told (right) Mayor Gerhard Jauernig (left) from the long journey of the coffee bean from India, Ethiopia, and Brazil to the Günzburger breakfast table.<br />Günzburg since 1932 are manufactured in the Günzburg food Gebr Strehle GmbH products around the favorite drink of the Germans, the coffee, as well as a wide range of instant products. Anyone who has ever ripped the backing of a can "Blanto" and sucked the scent of swirled cocoa powder, who knows why the milk drink from the house of the brothers Strehle has for many decades been among the best sellers of the Günzburger food factory. Now the coffee crop specialists have ventured a new trick: Just in time for 80-year anniversary, the food producers themselves go with roasted coffee to the market.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Mayor Gerhard Jauernig experienced when visiting the traditional company a lot about the history of coffee and the food factory. As the town hall boss remarked proudly and with a wink, are named Strehle and the newly acquired range roasted "GuntiAroma" on sympathetic way the "good flavor" of the Danube city spread worldwide. Especially noteworthy: The logo of the new product takes a close look again a modified form of Günzburger city tower.<br /><br />"Since its founding, the land of coffee has played a major role in our house. Bean coffee was still very expensive and not affordable for the average earner ", the current managing director Franz Lang tells of the beginnings of that Zichorienfabrik. "That's why the brothers have Strehle from the roots of chicory coffee substitute made the so chicory coffee."<br /><br />After the end of World War II widened the range of products quickly. "As grain and export goods were available again, my father developed from barley, rye, malt, chicory and figs coffee substitute mixture Günzburger 'that you can buy today in the supermarket," says Paul Strehle, owner since 1961 of Günzburg Food Processing Plant. The experiences that the brothers Strehle made in the production of the powder formed, finally, the basis for the preparation of the other instant products that were in the following years in the sale. "These early years must have been very exciting. No doubt they have "laid the foundation for today's business continues Franz Lang.<br /><br />The "big bags" - these are the large containers of the factory in which 30 men to work - not just go to Southern Europe. "Major customers are also Australia, South Africa, Korea, Japan and Greece," Strehle said proudly. "These international customers are essential to our business success." This is proven by the numbers: When former Zichorienfabrik after World War II, production of "Günzburgers" commenced, there were 250 manufacturing companies nationwide. "Today, there are two: Nestle and we are," said Paul Strehle. "It's quite an accomplishment to exist in the food industry for so long."<br /><br />But the Günzburger food factory is faced with the problems of the industry. "First, there are the rising commodity prices for corn and cocoa. And are second, the non-uniform guidelines in the production of foods that "lead to a distortion of competition, says Franz Lang. In order to survive, the instant producer therefore accepts services such as packing of goods, and has included organic and wellness products in the assortment. "Particularly at the moment our sleep cocoa goes from nutmeg, coriander, lemon balm and saffron. Base is our cocoa-based beverage powders Blanto. In our area it's just important to be broadly based, "says Lang.<br /><br />So it makes sense, even with coffee beans to take the program. "We fulfill our long-cherished dream," says the managing partner. In fact, if long sniffing the freshly shipped from India, Ethiopia and Brazil coffee beans and with enthusiasm by the roasting of the coffee bean told that at first green, then light brown discolored and finally dark brown, then the newly established coffee roaster is on the premises at Auweg not simple business principle, but an expression of a genuine passion for coffee. That's why the staff let the beans during roasting time.<br /><br />"The longer the beans are roasted, the lower the chlorogenic acid. In large-scale producers of coffee beans roasted to become a minute or two minutes in our whole 20th Our beans are so much easier to digest and more aromatic. "<br /><br />During his visit, the Mayor drank a cup of freshly roasted coffee. Jauernig was impressed: "I am delighted that a traditional company like Günzburger food factory for so many years with its core business success and at the same time have the courage to break new ground. This is evidence of genuine entrepreneurial spirit and reinforces the position as a major food factory business for the city and the region, "Strehle praised the good cooperation with the city and the city Günzburger works.<br /><br />Who wants to taste the coffee can, purchase it on site at the plant sale of the company Strehle and a florist long at Ulm street. And perhaps it creates the "Guntia" coffee - named after his Röstort - in the "star" list of the hundred best products. "Blanto" has already made the list.</span>TKtraderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549433364534488671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395636805898034285.post-30189850414785096272008-02-12T08:35:00.000-08:002012-10-16T07:54:45.387-07:00brazilian coffee beans for salebrazilian coffee beans are for sale. coffe beans from the country of Brazil are offered to international buyers. if you are interested into brazilian coffee beans, make contact at <a href="http://www.commoditytrading.co.za/">coffee beans for sale</a>.
