Enjoy your Coffee
Empat hal yang perlu di perhatikan dalam menikmati Kopi
1.Tingkat ke asaman dari Kopi, Kopi terlalu asam kurang baik dan Kopi tidak ada rasa asam sama sekali juga kurang baik,
2.Aroma dari kopi yang diminum harus Fresh atao tercium oleh hidung kita
3.Mouthfeel adalah rasa Kopi diwaktu berada di mulut kita, rasa asam dan pahit harus seimbang dan guna kan ke pekaan lidah kita untuk mencari rasa rasa yang lain seperti rasa cokelat, buah buahan, caramel, dan lain lain
4.After taste adalah rasa di tenggorokan kita setelah Kopi di minum, harus smooth
nah sekarang teman teman sudah tahu dasar mencicipi Kopi,....coba cari tahu apa Kopi yang kamu minum itu benar benar berkualitas baik,...ok
Planter dan Roaster
Selama belajar Kopi ada 2 hal penting yang patut diperhatikan,...PLANTER dan ROASTER,..
Planter adalah petani Kopi yang mengolah tanaman Kopi dari menanam sampai memanen,...musim panen Kopi setahun cuman sekali, kalo di Bali jatuh pada bulan July - Agustus,...buah Kopi (coffee cherry) akan dipetik kemudian akan di jemur kerang lebih 1 minggu setelah itu akan di kupas (pulping) dan ahir nya mendapatkan biji Kopi yang biasa disebut GREEN BEAN,...dan Biji Kopi sip di kirim ke perusahaan yang menggoreng Kopi yaitu
ROASTER......nah....Roaster adalah perusahaan yang menggoreng Kopi dan menjual nya ke distributor,.....Roaster juga mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam kualitas Kopi yang dihasil kan,....karena apa bila teknik dan kemampuan Roaster dari perusahaan itu tidak baik maka Kopi yang dihasilkan juga kurang enak di minum,......wah ternyata proses produksi Kopi tidak semudah yang aku kira,.....untuk menghasilkan secangkir Kpi yang enak ternyata susah amat,...,,,,,
Rasa Kopi di tahun 2005
Kopi....Kopi....Kopi,...apa sih sebenarnya Kopi itu,..? setahap demi setahap aku mempelajari apa yang disebut dengan Kopi,.semakin di pelajari semakin asyik,...ya menurut ku kopi sesuatu yang misterius,...aku rasa tidak semua orang benar - benar dapat merasa kan rasa Kopi yang sebenar nya,... sebagian besar orang cuman mengetahui rasa Pahit dan Asam,...tapi dari pengalaman ku,..aku dapat menrasakan rasa cokelat,...buah - buahan,...caramel dan masih banyak sekali rasa yang dapat ku rasa kan,....wah...menurutku ini suatu pengalaman yang berharga dan sangat menyenangkan,....

Awal Tahun 2005
Tepat nya tanggal 1 january 2005 Saya mulai mempalajari apa yang di sebut KOPI, Saya belajar menganai Kopi karena saya bekerja disebuah perusahaan Kopi di Bali, menurut saya ini adalah suatu pengalaman baru, semakin Saya pelajari semakin besar rasa ingin tahu saya mengenai minuman yang sangat disukai oleh semau kalangan ini, baik itu kalangan atas maupun kalangan bawah, baik tua maupun muda, pria maupun wanita, dan lebih hebat nya lagi Kopi merupakan bisnis terbesar nomer dua di dunia setelah Minyak Bumi,
Saya belajar sedikit demi sedikit, dan untung nya paman Saya membimbing saya dalam mempelajari Kopi disamping saya mencari sendiri artikel mengenai Kopi melalui Internet,.....
Terus terang Saya merasa beruntung mendapatkan kesempatan ini,......
Dari sini lah Saya mulai benar - benar menyukai KOPI
The History of Coffee
The History of Coffee
The history and development of the beverage that we know as coffee is varied and interesting, involving chance occurrences, political intrigue, and the pursuit of wealth and power.
According to one story, the effect of coffee beans on behavior was noticed by a sheep herder from Caffa Ethopia named Kaldi as he tended his sheep. He noticed that the sheep became hyperactive after eating the red "cherries" from a certain plant when they changed pastures. He tried a few himself, and was soon as overactive as his herd. The story relates that a monk happened by and scolded him for "partaking of the devil's fruit." However the monks soon discovered that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help them stay awake for their prayers.
Another legend gives us the name for coffee or "mocha." An Arabian was banished to the desert with his followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the broth save the exiles, but their survival was taken as a religious sign by the residents of the nearest town, Mocha. The plant and its beverage were named Mocha to honor this event.
Originally the coffee plant grew naturally in Ethopia, but once transplanted in Arabia was monopolized by them. One early use for coffee would have little appeal today. The Galla tribe from Ethiopia used coffee, but not as a drink. They would wrap the beans in animal fat as their only source of nutrition while on raiding parties. The Turks were the first country to adopt it as a drink, often adding spices such as clove, cinnamon, cardamom and anise to the brew.
Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia whose inhabitants believed it to be a delicacy and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans. Transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations was forbidden by the government. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, the descendants of those original plants were found still growing fruitfully in the region.
Coffee was believed by some Christians to be the devil's drink. Pope Vincent III heard this and decided to taste it before he banished it. He enjoyed it so much he baptized it, saying "coffee is so delicious it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it."
Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries can profitably export.

Kopi Indonesia
Indonesian coffee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indonesia is currently the fourth largest producer of coffee in the world. Coffee has a colourful history, and has played an important part in the growth of the country. Indonesia is blessed with an ideal geography for coffee growing. The longitude and latitude of the country means that the island origins are all well suited micro-climates for the growth and production of coffee.
Origins
In early days, the prominent coffee under Dutch rule was Arabica. The coffee was introduced to the archipelago via Ceylon (modern day Sri Lanka). The Dutch Colonial Government initially planted coffee around Batavia (Jakarta), and as far south as Sukabumi and Bogor. Coffee plantations were also established in East Java, Central Java, West Java and in parts of Sumatra and Sulawesi. Around the turn of the century the Arabica crops were devastated by Coffee Rust, wiping out the bulk of the Dutch root-stocks. Coffee at the time was also grown in East Indonesia- East Timor and Flores. Both these Islands were originally under Portuguese control- the coffee was also Arabica but from different root stocks. The coffee in Eastern Indonesia was not effected to the same degree by rust, and even today, some coffee in East Timor can be traced back to the 16th and 17th century.
The Dutch responded to rust by importing and planting Liberica coffee. This variety had a short lived popularity and was also affected by disease. The Liberica cherry can still be found through out Java, but is seldom used as a commercial crop in Indonesia. The Liberica coffee bean is much larger than either Arabica or the Robusta cherry- however it shares more in common cupping wise with Robusta
Current status of the industry
Robusta replaced Liberica and is still the stock crop today. It is not the coffee Indonesia is famous for, but makes up some 88% of exports from the country.
Disaster (disease and natural), World War II and the struggle for independence all played a big part in the changes that are seen in Indonesian coffee today. In the early part of the 20th century, the coffee industry was controlled by Dutch plantation owners and the Colonial government. Infrastructure was developed in East and Central Java in particular to make the shipping of commodities such as coffee as easy as possible. Prior to World War Two Central Java in particular had a very strong rail transportation system that brought coffee, sugar, pepper, tea and tobacco out of the province to the port city of Semarang. Coffee in Central Java was primarily Robusta, while the government estates (Kayu Mas, Blewan, Jampit) in East Java were Arabica. The mountain area stretching from Jember in East Java through to the port of Banyuwangi was heavily planted in both Arabica and Robusta. The Robusta growing at lower elevations, while Arabica was farmed- in plantation farming systems- at higher elevations.
After Independence the plantations throughout Indonesia either came under the control of the new government or were abandoned. Today close to 92% of coffee production is in the hands of small farmers or cooperatives.
In January 2007, The World Widlife Fund (WWF) Indonesia reported that land was illegally cleared for coffee farming in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park on Sumatra Island. The protected park is home to endangered tigers, elephants and rhinos, and WWF predicts that these species will be extinct in a decade should the clearing and farming continue. WWF states that the illegal coffee is sold to Western companies such as Nestle and Kraft Foods.

Jenis Kopi yang dikonsumsi
Structure of coffee berry and beans:
- Center cut
- Bean (endosperm)
- Silver skin (testa, epidermis),
- Parchment (hull, endocarp)
- Pectin layer
- Pulp (mesocarp)
- Outer skin (pericarp, exocarp)
The coffee plant grows in tropical areas. It grows between 600 to 7200 feet above sea level. Fundamentally, coffee beans are of two types:
Arabica
Arabica is the earliest cultivated species of the coffee tree. It grows best in altitudes between 4000 and 6000 feet above sea level. It require special soil conditions with just the right balance of warmth and moisture. It is considered a higher quality bean and produces very flavorful and aromatic coffee. It takes six to nine months to mature.
Because Arabica trees are susceptible to disease, frost, and drought, and fall to the ground soon after they ripen. Hence they must be harvested as soon as they ripen. They require careful labor-intensive cultivation and produce only 1 to 1.5 pounds of beans per year. Hence they are more expensive. The beans are low in caffeine content and high in flavor and aroma.Arabica beans account for about 75% of the beans that are grown around the world.
Robusta
Robusta grows best in altitudes above sea level and upto 2500 feet. It is maily cultivated in West Africa and Southeast Asia. It is less flavorful and less aromatic. It is more tolerant of the cold and moisture. Robusta beans do not fall to the ground once they ripen, hence it does not need to be harvested immediately. This species is normally purchased as a 'filler' bean for canned coffees to reduce the roasters cost. Robusta has twice the caffeine content of Arabica. In fact, Robusta takes less time to mature, typically half the time needed for Arabica beans, and tend to yield twice as many cherries. It is also low in flavor and aroma, and is less expensive. It is usually found in instant coffee.
Robusta accounts for about 25% of the coffee grown around the world. It's taste is more of an earthy quality.
