Coffee Talk

Food & Drink + Vancouver / February 04, 2010
As a quick follow-up to yesterday's post about the art and science of the perfect espresso, I just thought I would post a link to this Report on Business article in The Globe & Mail about Vancouver coffee institution Caffè Artigiano:
“The coffee world has really evolved in the past five, 10 years, the science of extraction. A large corporation can't focus on that. Coffee's becoming more and more detailed. People will want to know where the coffee came from, how sustainable it is, how the farmer is treated, how much he was paid, the terroir of the farm.”
The general manager of Caffè Artigiano on Hornby, Kyle Straw, is the current Canadian Barista Champion(!), and along with Bryant Simon, author of Everything but the Coffee: Learning about America from Starbucks (University of California Press), and business reporter David Ebner (who wrote the article), he participated in an informative live chat about coffee with Globe readers yesterday.
