"Hot" under the photo of the coffee cup

Coffee is not a beverage served just hot, by any stretch of the imagination. 66.26.95.207 (talk) 17:08, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reise in die Morgenländer - Rauwolf

A passage from Reise in die Morgenländer (1582) by Leonhard Rauwolf is quoted, possibly in translation (the book also appeared in English and Dutch versions). This section of text appears online in several places (not WP:RS, but may be sufficient for someone to verify the translation). Here's the reported German text from one such site for comparison:

Unter anderen habens ein gut getränck, welliches sie hoch halten, Chaube von jenen genennet: das ist gar nahe wie Dinten so schwarz und in gebresten sonderlich des magens gar dienstlich. Dieses pflegens am Morgen frü, auch an offnen orten .. . zu trinken, aus irdenen und Porcellanischen tiefen Schälein, so warm, alß seis könden erleiden... Zu dem wasser nemen sie Frücht bunu, die außer Größe und farb schier wie die Lorbeer anzusehen..... Dieses trank ist bey ihnen sehr gemain...
— Kaffeegeschichte, Legenden, Herkunft des Kaffeebaums

Characteristics of different coffee beans from around the world?

Depending on the specific plant breed the the coffee is grown on, the coffee produces a different flavour. Sometimes, it can be more "fruity" and sometimes more "nutty". I read about the different ways coffee connoisseurs describe coffee flavour, and am interested about the characteristics and tastes each type of bean produces. I think there can be greater explanation on the types of coffee and the taste each type produces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpfroggy (talk • contribs) 04:32, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like that would be some useful information. As Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia anyone can edit", feel free to find some good references and write some content about it. DMacks (talk) 15:12, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Table at the bottom of Caffeine Content

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee#Caffeine_content There are no measurements just a series of #s. What is it that is being described? 96.52.182.81 (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a citation to "Verlengia F, Rigitano A, Nery JP, Tosello A. Variations of the caffeine content in coffee beverages. ASIC, 2nd Int Sci Colloq Green and Roasted Coffee Chem. 1965, 106-114." in the preceding sentence. Anyone have access to that to know what it says? DMacks (talk) 18:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
