Love the coverage about Coffee production process I never know Singapore import most coffee from Indonesia I would like to look forward on the 2nd part discussing on about roasting and production process
Thanks for this. I've been drinking v60-brew coffees for 5 years now and was curious why the bean prices have increased significantly in the last few months
Been drinking Robusta beans from Laos. I have not seen the price of coffee beans rise that much. After drinking Robusta beans, it is hard to go back to drinking mild arabica beans.
Well it's only 45% more expensive. But the majority of Westerners are used to the mellow Arabica flavour. Robusta is still the favorite in Europe 😊. This is also why the french tried to establish a colony in Vietnam (cut out the middle man)🤔. Purchasing robusta where I reside (Eastern Canada) costs me almost 2x more than Arabica beans. Keep in mind that you would never see any "sane" person drink a large coffee, as Americans do made from robusta. It is best as an espresso or Americano (small cup).😂😂😂
Thank you for visiting my village, i also have coffee plantation but my uncle take care of it. During these two years the harvest has decreased greatly because of the weather.
For example, nothing in the current Budget addresses the high cost of living in the world's most expensive city, the seriously unaffordable public housing, and an outmoded education system that does not prepare our children for the future.
Bloody useless crybaby. Having seen how tough life is for others in other countires, you only know how to blame blame blame and don't know how to buck up yourself. People like you vote to pull down the rest of us.
There seems to be a contradiction, the government statistics show coffee production has held steady, but on the ground farmers are experiencing much bigger drop in coffee production. Why is that so? Furthermore, we should start by showing what % we import from each country and look at countries where prices rose the most. The reason could be due to shipping and other supply chain cost increases
Her technique is a tried and proven one. Now my question, why haven't anyone tthought of "combining" their forces as a co-op? They could use a fraction of their revenues to help others as they could increase their overall productivity and pool their expense costs as to purchase in bulk rather than in units and even help finance the purchase of heavy machinery. As in a chipper to chop/ground up bio matter for easy/rapid composting. They should also use organic mulches such as wood chips, bark chips, sawdust, or compost with or without fabric barriers (preferably organic jute or hemp) to prevent the growth of weeds around the base of the trees.
like the farmer that transition from coffee to oranges...it's just a lot more work it's simply easier to just buy the fertilizer rather than making your own just to be better
If many farms are seeing reduced yields, the only way production is going up is by expansion right? Each plot bringing less, means much more land must be used.
I wish you try every single province of our coffee because each province/ region has a different taste. instead of Luwak, Gayo, and Mandailing coffee, We have many great coffees too from Robusta to Arabica.
The next 5 years predicted to be the most hot summer and it's just beginning, meaning if we not mitigate the climate now, this will be ongoing concern. Shaming is a no go, so let's do our best to reduce our carbon footprints. Bring your own shopping bag/containers, eat less meat better if you vegan, plants some trees, veggies, flowers and weeds around the house, reduce consumption in general and having less kids better if childfree
coffee trade: the farmers barely make ends meet the traders get fat from their labours the roasters and sellers skim some of the profits the consumers complain
In s'pore, there are many opposition party members involved in police investigation for criminal offences - pritam, charles yeo, lim tean, hsien yang, etc.
Coffee is a disgusting drink. I could never develop a taste for it. I honestly don't understand why people like it so much. I prefer better bitter brews, like black and green tea, hot chocolate, etc. No sugar, milk, or cream. Brewed real strong and bitter, just how I like it!
Bitter is easy and cheap when it comes to coffee. Stick to robusts dark roasts and you're done. Medium roasts and less are where it gets challenging and more fussy. Don't know why you're complaining
LOL, before blaming China try to make JETP funding work first. Sure, China is a gross offender of environment, but historical environmental debt from the West to the rest of the world is still unpaid. This latter one is the most egregious.
@@lyq232 Because for all the bad China is, the West's hypocrisy is also quite vile. You want less investment share from China? How about Westerners invest in us more then. Of course they don't want to, because investment in developing country is "unsafe". You want no more environmental destructing China project? How about Westerners try to make JETP works, even better if you turn the loan into grant as it morally should be. You want Indonesia to cooperate more with the West in economy? Stop being selfish with the protectionist policy disguised as environmental protection then, also let us develop our own industrial capacity (case of palm oil and nickel).
I been ordering Italian coffee beans for decades. The prices did went up but not alot. $29 per kg, $30+ for certified specialty coffee. Increased about 10 percent in the past 5 years which is lower than average inflation rate. Italian don't grow their beans. They import from everywhere and far away, not as close as Indonesia to us so their cost is higher yet their cost of espresso sold on the street is still stable and good. 1kg can produce 140 cups of espresso, that's only 20 cents per SHOT. Who says we need to depend on indo. Regardless of what this video is trying to project, margin for coffee is still high. If they want to price higher, they should justify with better quality as the cost increases only by cents and they increase their selling price by tens of cents. That's why large coffee chains could sustain and expand consistently. Kopi is using even cheaper low grade Indonesia or Malaysia robusta beans. The best robusta I've tasted comes from some estates in India, they process the coffee like premium arabica to enrich the profile and reduce the bitterness. What surprised me was it taste even smoother than an average grade dark roast Arabica. Italian coffee may cost more but the prices are more stable and quality is so much better in every way. Italian coffee is not just for making espresso, made into kopi it taste just so smooth. They have similar components, but they are roasted not as dark and has a mix of more Arabica coffee. The quality is generally better, much lesser defects and preserved better. It emphasis more on balance. Flavours are better articulated, with richer depth of aromatic profiles and don't have as much bitterness that bite your tongue. If you are wondering or asking where I get my coffee beans these days. I used to suggest Kimbo but these days I'm using Arcaffè and Le Piantagioni from Italy which is much cheaper and better. www.finecoffeecompany.com
