Weekend fun: A Krups commercial and some photos

January 20, 2007 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under Coffee

Check out this awesome Krups Nescafe Dolce Gusto tv ad featuring James Brown music.

Photo: Coffee with a “drop” of milk, an oldie but goodie.

Photo: Squeezing a coffee berry in Hawaii reveals the bean inside the membrane.

Coffee basics: The two most popular types of coffee beans are Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (robusta). Compared to arabica, robusta tends to be bitter and has little flavor, with a telltale “burnt rubber” or “wet cardboard” aroma and flavor. Good quality robustas are used in some espresso blends to provide a better “crema” (foamy head), and to lower the ingredient cost. There’s a bunch more at the Wikipedia.
