How Does Your Coffee Grow?

Excerpts from cocoajava.com

Coffee is a favorite drink of millions of people around the globe. Many of us wake up to the invigorating taste of espresso at morning. Indeed, this is a great way to start the day. The ardent coffee lovers simply can’t miss their coffee drink at various times of the day- during breaks in between work. A cup of piping hot coffee not only awakens us but also helps keep us energetic throughout the day.

Coffee drinks of all types, be it plain coffee or espresso or latte or cappuccino or some other specialty coffee beverage, are prepared from the beans of the coffee plant. The coffee plants, the seeds (beans) of which yield coffee, are grown on a large scale in various parts of the world. Over seventy countries from Indonesia to Brazil cultivate coffee. Usually, the regions of the world that lie between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer are the suitable coffee growing areas. The coffee growing belt includes the region around the Equator- Central America, Northern South America, Africa, India, Indonesia and Hawaii.

Think about that the next time you take a sip. Coffee, whatever brand, is an exotic adventure to faraway lands.

Quality and Consistency

I've been asked several times, "Are you going to be as good as Starbucks?" On every occasion, further discussion revealed that the people asking the question didn't even like the aforementioned coffee giant.
More often than not, the coffee snobs that I hang out with are looking for a product that is handcrafted, unique, high quality and highly consistent. Of course, I just enumerated the distinctiveness of Jamani Java.
Our espresso machine is handmade in Italy. It just arrived from the boot a few weeks ago. This particular machine is as low-tech as possible--it has no electronics, no buttons, no lights, buzzers and whistles. All it has is a big boiler, a huge spring and long lever. This thing is a show in itself! Most coffee shops push a button and hope for the best. We hand craft our espressos.
Our grinder, on the other hand, is as high tech as it gets: a LaMarzocco Swift. This grinder assures consistent grinding and tamping every time out of the gate.
The combination of low tech and high tech gives Jamani Java's espresso shots a unique, warm-honey thick, sweet espresso that doesn't break down when mixed. Furthermore, our espresso is the same every time.
Handcrafted, unique quality that is the same yesterday, today and forever? You betcha!
Only at Jamani Java.
