ABOUT HEALTH

Coffee and our body

Why shouldn’t we combine the pleasure of drinking coffee with its positive impact upon the human body?
Some people try to consume coffee only occasionally, in minimal quantities, or prefer ‘decaf‘, worrying about its negative effects and impact. But for the majority of us, coffee is the main beverage, drunk on average to the amount of three cups daily. So do we have any cause to be worried about our health because of such frequent coffee consumption? Research conducted by Harvard Medical School showed that drinking a few cups of coffee a day is not only harmless, but may help to improve our health1.

“Five cups of coffee a day…”

Coffee drunk in moderate quantities has the following benefits:
  • it lowers the risk of biliary peritonitis;
  • thanks to its anti-carcinogenic properties, it reduces the risk of liver and colon cancer among coffee drinkers by 50% compared with those who do not drink coffee;
  • it reduces the probability of liver damage among people belonging to the high risk group;
  • it lowers the risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Moreover, according to research carried out at Georgia University in Athens, the caffeine present in coffee is highly effective in combating muscle pain resulting from excessive exercise. The group of people tested, who took a dose of caffeine an hour before hard physical exercise, showed a drop in pain sensitivity of 48%, while for persons doing less strenuous exercise the drop was 28% 2. Studies conducted on mice by scientists of the Byrd Alzheimer Institute indicated that daily consumption of coffee may not only minimise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, but even effectively protect the human organism against it, as well as helping people already suffering from it3.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

The divine taste of Zespresso Café comes from its unique brewing process

Stages of the brewing process:

1 - Water intake
Water from the diffuser enters, through aluminium holes, the upper part of the capsule with a specially sealed bottom.

2 - Preliminary filling
The hot water trapped inside the sealed capsule fills it up to the edges, and thanks to the increasing pressure, the coffee is soaked with water, abstracting 100% of the organoleptic and aromatic properties.

3 - Pressure
Pressure inside the capsule (about 18 bars) increases gradually, pushing the bottom of the capsule to the steel pin found under the capsule housing until puncturing it.

4 - Proper filling
Then, proper filling starts. The water pressure remains unchanged, facilitating optimal extraction of all precious and volatile coffee aromas. This process, known as ‘pre-infusion’, conveys the whole taste and aroma of the coffee to your cup thanks to perfect and uniform water penetration of the grounds placed in the capsule. The paper filter on the bottom of the capsule prevents the escape of any minimal amounts of coffee that could affect the proportions.Only the Zespresso® Café pressure coffee-maker and capsule can enhance the taste, character and aroma of Zespresso® Café blends.

Water quality is an important factor affecting the taste of the brew. Coffee with excessive calcium or lead?
This doesn’t sound good! Unfortunately, according to the sources, 62% of tap water is not suitable for drinking. Lead, cadmium, chrome, asbestos, pesticides and numerous detergents are only some of the pollutants present in much drinking water, reducing the taste and value of beverages prepared with it.
Toxic substances may be present in drinking water as a result of raw water contamination due to the application of improper water treatment processes and contamination of water pipes or internal systems. So, if we want to get the best out of our coffee, it is important to use water filtered in the right way.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Hmmm, the crema…
the art of making espresso

Millions of people all over the world start their day with a cup of good, strong coffee, made in a variety of ways, from Turkish or Greek to latte or cappuccino; consisting mostly of milk, and espresso – the fastest method of coffee preparation. Some of us drink a morning espresso in a rush, glancing rapidly through the papers; others slowly savour the taste and aroma of their coffee while taking a leisurely break in their favourite café. But while you drink your daily coffee and enjoy the great taste of espresso, its subtle aroma and sensual crema, do you ever think about how it is achieved? Espresso is not a type of coffee, but a method of preparation based on forcing highly pressurised hot water through coffee grounds compacted in a capsule.
This process should take only 25 seconds.

Forget it all for a moment with Zespresso Café

Select the type of coffee you like, depending on its blend and strength, from the unique Zespresso® Café collection. Four types of carefully prepared coffee are placed in special capsules holding the correct amount for one cup of espresso, 6-7 grams being the equivalent of one coffee spoon. However, this amount may be altered to suit individual preferences, and a cup of espresso may be made from two or more capsules. Make sure that the water temperature in your coffee maker is correct for espresso. The optimal temperature is 88ºC. A lower temperature will not make a good cup, while a higher one may scald the coffee, giving it a bitter taste and unpleasant smell. The first drops make the upper part of the espresso, maintaining proper temperature until completion of the brewing process and being the base for 2-4 ml of the crema. The crema on the top of the espresso is the final moment of the brewing process, the visual proof for adequate brewing process.

Coffee’s history

The worldwide coffee phenomenon of today has it origins, according to legend, in the discovery of the influence of coffee on our body not only by people, but also by animals. One story has it that the unique properties of coffee were discovered in the 9th century by an Ethiopian shepherd boy and his flock of sheep that became unusually frisky after eating the fruit of a nearby coffee tree. The shepherd tried it himself and noticed an inflow of energy that banished his sleepiness and fatigue.

The name coffee comes from Arabic word “qahwa”

Other sources claim that the effects of coffee were first discovered by Ethiopian monks, who found that it allowed them to stay alert and concentrate during their long hours of prayer and meditation.
Because of its Arabic name and popularity in Moslem lands, until the XVI century coffee was known in Christendom as ‘Satan’s drink’. This was hundreds of years before golden rules of coffee brewing were established.
First of all, the fruit of the coffee tree was ground and eaten in the form of a pulp, which unfortunately had a quite unpleasant taste and smell. Later on, in the course of numerous trials and experiments, coffee seeds (‘beans’) were macerated by means of brewing with hot water, and roasted, which was the start of the art of modern coffee brewing. What is more, people discovered that coffee not only boosts vitality, but also raises blood pressure, eliminates sleepiness, regenerates our body and effectively reduces thirst. As the cult of coffee drinking evolved, accompanied by technical advances, the drink preparation process was enriched by the addition of sugar, honey, milk and even sour cream and various spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon and chocolate, improving the taste and aroma of different types of coffee.

How it used to be...

Around 1000 A.D.
Arab traders brought coffee to the Arabian Peninsula from Ethiopia.
1100
Inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula started planting coffee trees and made the first attempts at brewing coffee seeds to produce a drink called qahwa.
1453-1457
The blessings of coffee were introduced to the inhabitants of Constantinople, where the first coffee shop was opened. This was the start of the spread of coffee to European cities such as Paris, Rome and London, and the opening of thousands of coffee shops where people could indulge in the new fashion of coffee-drinking.
1905
The first coffee-making machine was manufactured in Italy.
Today
The coffee-drinking cult becomes a worldwide phenomenon.

How it is today

Now we want to drink it not only in cafés or restaurants, but from a take-away cup on the way to work, waiting for a bus or train, walking along the street...
Nowadays coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, ever present in our homes, at work,
on trips and in bars and restaurants, as well as in the ubiquitous coffee shops. Thanks to its unique properties, it has helped inspire famous artists such as Johann Sebastian Bach, enhancing the creative activity that have produced extraordinary works of music and literature.

Coffee-drinking
on the streets of the world

Whether meeting with friends to chat in a warm and cosy atmosphere, or business associate to negotiate tough contract terms, which drink is always there to enliven the situation?
COFFEE of course!
This beverage is present in every aspect of life, a permanent feature of political discussions, trade negotiations and every kind of social contact. As the coffee phenomenon developed and its varieties and taste improved, everybody started to acquire a taste for it. We want the pleasure of its taste when we are with friends, sitting on our sofa, or stretched out in a big armchair at home, talking with someone nice for hours on end, or surrounded by relaxing music in a favourite coffee shop. According to one study, 73% of people regard coffee as the most necessary and desirable companion of social intercourse, leaving such refreshments as tea (43%) or alcoholic beverages (26%) far behind. Drunk more than once a day by 43% of respondents, it is perceived as an invigorating, relaxing drink, facilitating communication and easing social contact.

When and how…

  • Coffee is most often drunk at breakfast, 65%, then 30% between the main meals, and 5% with meals.
  • The great majority, 65%, prefer coffee with sugar and/or cream. Only 35% drink it black, without any additions.
  • For women, coffee is more a moment of relaxation, and for men - a necessary   element helping in the proper execution of work tasks. We naturally want to enjoy the delights of coffee in our homes as well as in our favourite coffee shop. Our desire it to create the café’s atmosphere and coffee taste with the simplest and least time-consuming preparation!
