TIDBITS® BREWS UP FACTS ONCOFFEEby Rick Dandes

Coffee or tea anyone? In America, the an-swer to that question is a resounding yes to coffee. According to recent surveys, U.S drinkers consume ap-proximately 4,848 cups of coffee per second, 24 hours a day. So on this winter’s day, Tidbits honors the American coffee drinker, with a whole set of trivia facts and statistics. Drink it up.

You might think the most expensive cof-•fee in the world comes from Jamaica or Hawaii, but in fact, it is from Indonesia. It’s called Kopi Luwak, and those who drink it insist that it is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the common palm civet, a weasel-like animal. Apparently the inter-naldigestionendsupasauniqueflavorto thebeans, removing thebitter flavor,and then beans are then picked up by lo-cals and sold. These beans can cost up to $600 a pound, and up to $50 per cup, if you can get over the fact that you are drinking such a strange brew.World Barista Championship UK Ltd is a •nonprofit organization jointly owned bythe Specialty Coffee Association of Amer-ica and Specialty Coffee Association of Europe.ThefirstWBCcompetition tookplace in Monte Carlo in October 2000 and has since held annual competitions in Miami, Oslo, Boston, Trieste, Seattle, Berne, Tokyo and Copenhagen.The history of coffee can be traced back to •at least the early 9th century, when it ap-peared in the highlands of Ethiopia. Back then,accordingtolegend,shepherdsfirstsawtheinfluenceofthisbrewwhentheyobserved their animals eating the raw coffee berries. Their goats then appeared to “dance” and have an increased level of energy.Thefirstcoffeerush?

leans used chicory as substitutes. Today, they would have their coffee with chicory. When the beans reach the temperature •of 400F during the roasting process, the beans “crack.” When the beans “crack” a second time, the hot beans are then dumped from the roaster and cooled im-mediately. During the process of roasting coffee beans, coffee oil gathers in pock-ets throughout the bean. This substance is forced out to the surface of the beans of darker roasts, as moisture is lost. Hence the bean has this oily appearance.

COFFEE (continued)What are the two most commonly grown •species of the coffee plant? According to a number of industry sources, they are Cof-fee canephora and C. Arabica. These are grown in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.Over the years, coffee traveled around the •world to various countries usually carried by travelers who gave samples to others that eventually wanted even more coffee for them. Coffee is big business, and one of the •world’s more important commodities. Here are some numbers to prove that: in 2003, coffee was the world’s sixth-largest legal agricultural export in value. From 1998 to 2000, 6.7 million tons of coffee was pro-duced annually, and it is predicted that by 2010 production will rise to 7 million tons annually. It was said that cowboys made their coffee •by putting ground coffee into a clean sock and immerse it in cold water and heated over campfire. When ready, they wouldpour the coffee into tin cups and drink it.ThefirstEuropeancoffeehouseopenedin•Italy in the year 1645.The Dutch •were the firstto import cof-fee and cof-fee beans on a large scale, and they eventually smuggled cof-fee seedlings into Europe in 1690, defying the Arab prohibition on the exportation of coffee plants or unroasted coffee seeds.Brazil is the largest coffee exporting na-•tion, but in recent years Vietnam has be-comeamajorproducerofrobustabeans.Robusta coffees are one of the most popu-lar coffees.Because of the lower costs, Arabica is pre-•ferred by large industrial clients, such as multinational roasters and instant coffee producers.Coffee is propagated by seed. The tradi-•tional method of planting coffee is to put 20 seeds in each hole at the beginning of the rainy season; half are eliminated naturally. Coffee is intercropped with food crops, such as corn, beans, or rice, during thefirstfewyears.There are two main cultivated species of •the coffee plant, Coffea canephora and Coffea arabica. Arabica coffee is consid-ered more suitable for drinking than ro-busta, which, compared to arabica, is bit-

terandhaslessflavor.It’sprobablyforthisreason that about three fourths of coffee cultivated worldwide is arabica. How do you label a bean? It depends on •the color of the roasted beans. They will be labeled as light, cinnamon, medium, high city, full city, French or Italian roast. The darker roasts are usually smoother, becausetheyhavelessfibercontentandamoresugaryflavor.Lighterroastshavemore caffeine, resulting in a slight bitter-ness,andastrongerflavorfromaromaticoils. Perfectly roasted coffee beans are the •end result of the coffee roasting process. Those beans are then ground and turned into a delicious cup of coffee.Coffee was used in ancient times for spiri-•tual reasons. At least 1,000 years ago, traders brought coffee across the Red Sea into Arabia (modern-day Yemen), where Muslim monks began cultivating the shrub intheirgardens.Atfirst,theArabiansmadewine from the pulp of the fermented cof-fee berries. This beverage was known as Qishr (Kisher in modern usage) and was used during religious ceremonies. Coffee drinking was prohibited socially in •some regions of the world, and at one time was considered strictly a “Muslim” drink.How’s this forarush?Themajorityofall•caffeine consumed worldwide comes from coffee—in some countries; this figure isas high as 85 percent. It all depends, of course, on the type of coffee and method of preparation.Too much coffee can bring on some health •problems, experts warn. Most of these negative effects are due to coffee’s caf-feine content. Drinking caffeinated coffee can cause a temporary increase in the stiffening of arterial walls. Excess coffee consumption may lead to a magnesium deficiency or hypomagnesaemia. So ifyou’re drinking 10 cups a day, be careful.During the American Civil War, when cof-•fee was scarce, the citizens of NewOr-

A man was waiting for his wife to give birth. The doctor came and informed the dad that his son was born without a torso, arms, or legs.Thesonwasjustahead!Butthedadloved his son and raised him as well as he could. Twenty-one years later, the son was oldenoughforhisfirstdrink.Thedadtookhim to a bar, tearfully told him he was proud of him, and ordered the biggest, strongest drink for his boy. With all the bar patrons looking on curiously, the boy took his firstsip of alcohol. Swoooop! A torso popped out! The bar was dead silent, then burst into a whoop of joy. The father, shocked,begged his son to drink again. The patrons chanted, “Take another drink! Take another drink!” The bartender shook his head in dis-may. Swoooop! Two arms popped out! The bar went wild. The father, crying and wailing, begged his son to drink again. The patrons chanted, “Take another drink! Take another drink!” But the bartender ignored the whole affair. By this time, the boy was getting tip-sy. With his new hands, he reached down, grabbed thedrink, andguzzled the last ofit. Swoooop! Two legs popped out. The bar wasinchaos.Thefatherweptwithjoy.Theboy stood up on his new legs. He stumbled to the left. He stumbled to the right. Then he stumbled through the front door and into the street, where a truck ran him over. The bar fell silent. The father moaned with grief. The bartender merely sighed and said, “He should have quit while he was a head.”My friend’s husband is always telling her that housekeeping would be a snap if only shewouldorganizehertimebetter.Recentlyhe had a chance to put his theory into prac-tice while his wife was away. When I popped in one evening to see how he was manag-

ing, he crowed, “I made a cake and frosted it; washed the kitchen windows; cleaned all the cupboards; scrubbed the kitchen floor,walls, and ceiling; and even had a bath.” I was about to concede that perhaps he was a better manager than his wife, when he added sheepishly, “When I was making the chocolate frosting, I forgot to turn off the mixer before taking the beaters out of the bowl, so I had to do all the rest.”Artist Pablo Picasso surprised a burglar at work in his new chateau. The intruder got away, but Picasso told the police he could do a rough sketch of what he looked like. On the basis of his drawing, the police arrested amothersuperior,theministeroffinance,awashing machine, and the Eiffel tower.I’m a secondary school teacher at a girls’ school. Last week I assigned homework to research and design a poster on a famous woman inventor. I explained to the students that there were many good woman inven-tors and explained that while a man invent-ed the car, it was a woman who invented the windshield wiper. And also that a man invented the gun and it was a woman who invented the bullet-proof vest. A smart re-sponse came from one of the students: “So what you are saying, sir, is that a man in-vented something, and a woman found a way to make it safer!”How to Clean the House: 1. Open a new folder on your PC.2.Nameit“Housework.”3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.4. Empty the Recycle Bin.5. Your PC will ask you, “Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?”6. Calmly answer, “Yes,” and press the mousebuttonfirmly.7. Feel better?In Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, a tour guide was giving a talk to a group of tourists abouthiking ingrizzlybear territory: “Mostbear encounters occur when hikers, being extra quiet along the trails in hopes of view-ing wildlife, accidentally stumble into bears. The resulting surprise can be catastrophic.” To avoid this, he suggested that each hiker wear tiny bells on their clothing to warn the bears of their presence. “Also,” he said fur-ther, “be especially cautious when you see signs of bears in the area, especially when you see bear droppings.” One tourist asked, “How do you identify bear droppings?” “Oh that’s easy,” the guide explained. “They’re the ones with all the tiny bells in them!”
