Coffee life. Colombian state affairs may be rocking the boat, but the people’s
trust in their lifelong relationship with coffee is unshaken. Meet the real coffeeaficionados
at home with their favourite bean.
“When God created the world, he made this the place for coffee
growing. These mountains have everything just right for the
crop: the climate, the people and the light”. A weather-beaten
coffee-grower, Luis Bernardo Montes, says this with conviction
and pride, as he surveys a sea of coffee from the top of La Paz
mountain in Chinchiná, Caldas department. From where he
is standing coffee plantations can be seen all around. From far
away the new shoots look like enormous cabbages spaced out
centimetres apart along the land; when they are a year old, they
look as though someone had drawn an ink outline along the
furrows; the older, dense coffee plantations are deep green in
colour. The land is steep, hemmed in to the east by the foothills
of the central range. On the side of one of the mountains, which
rise up one after the other, virtually blending into each other,
one can make out the buildings in Manizales, the capital city of

Manizales, Chinchiná, sheltered in a little valley, and Palestina,
clinging onto another hillside. At the beginning of the year,
there is enough sun here for the flowers to grow. In February,
the countryside looks like a scented cotton field. The rains in
March, April and May swell the beans and in September, the rain
again allows the ‘big’ harvest to be gathered. The coffee growers
in other parts of the country say, with a touch of envy, that this
region “has bought all of the downpours”.
The traditional buildings add the finishing touches to the
picture postcard scenery viewed from La Paz mountain. They
are two-storey houses with tiled roofs, adobe walls and wide,
circular corridors. These estates date back many years. The

GREAT MOMENT
AFTER SHOPPING The time: Saturday noon. The location: a cosy coffee lounge in the heart of the city. The
atmosphere: so condensed it’s almost palpable – a mixture of goldrush feel and dizzying, vibrant euphoria. The US-Americans
recommend this mood specifically for people suffering from boredom or depression and snappily refer to it as “retail therapy”
(i.e. unrestrained shopping). The most efficient way to quickly reach this state of euphoric bliss is to surround oneself with a few
good female friends; empirical data supports the opinion that they are unlikely to tell you that you already have an exact copy
of it in your wardrobe. If the therapy is followed by a Latte Macchiato it is likely that the blissful state can even be prolonged a
while. That’s how innocent ecstasy can be – d’ya hear that, gentlemen?
Soundtrack: Something playful, preferably French. Une diseuse, like Coralie Clement (d’aujourd’hui) or Sylvie Vartan
(d’antan). Or something timeless, such as by the late great Serge Gainsbourg. Or at least his spiritual son,
Benjamin Biolay and his muse Chiara Mastroianni.

THE PERFECT
LOUNGE
Fruity-winey notes, echoing red
fruits like raspberries, blueberries
and blackberries, are only found in
exceptional coffee Crus and offer an
extra special treat.
Nespresso Sensory expert, Angelique Pithon shares how we mere mortals can detect individual aromas
and flavour notes to fully appreciate the Nespresso symphony of the senses.
What senses are used in coffee tasting?
Coffee, just like wine, is appreciated by four out of five of the senses.
Sight allows us to take in the colour of the coffee and the quality of its
crema. Ideal crema is consistent and smooth with a tendency to stick to
the cup. It has many tightly concentrated bubbles that reflect the light.
All of this heightens our anticipation of the pleasure we get from tasting
coffee.
Then there’s smell, which allows us to enjoy the aroma above the cup as
well as the flavours that we perceive as a retro-nasal effect. This happens
when the coffee reaches the back of the throat and flavours are detected
in the nasal cavity. The aroma released above the cup tends to include
the most delicate and aromatic notes. Heavier more roasted notes emerge
when you stir your coffee. The more pronounced the grilled notes are
the more the blend has been roasted.
Taste is the most obvious sense used to appreciate coffee. The four main
tastes that are picked up by our taste buds are sweetness, saltiness, bitterness
and acidity. Acidity is often more noticeable on the sides of the
tongue, whereas bitterness is sensed at the back of the tongue. There’s
also aftertaste, which is the lingering impression a coffee leaves in your
mouth. It varies according to the coffee’s characteristics, but flavours
that linger tend to be roasted, grilled and bitter.
Touch is a vital, though often overlooked, factor in tasting coffee. The
body and temperature of the coffee as well as the texture and smoothness
of the crema are all tactilely felt on the lips and tongue.
What are the key aromatic notes that consumers should look for?
Often the most pronounced is the roasted note, which describes the
smell of the roasted coffee that is released when you prepare a coffee or
stir it. Then there is the cocoa note that reminds us of dark chocolate or

AFTER WAKING UP
Arguably, some of the pleasant side effects of modern lounge
culture are inspired by Viennese cafés – namely, that one can
visit them on one’s own without pitying looks from other
guests; one needn’t order new stuff every 3 minutes just to
be taken seriously by the waiter; one can drink one’s coffee
and read the paper without being pressed for time. Hence,
the ideal time for going to one of the modern lounges is very
likely Sunday morning, the earlier the better. The flirting
couples that got together the night before are still asleep.
Noisy families are queuing up at the bakeries. Tourists are
still fighting for the trophies of the breakfast buffets in their
hotels. Sunday morning is the most exquisite, the emperor of
mornings in a week. And if you want it, it’s entirely yours.

cocoa and is sometimes accompanied by hints of liquorice. Woody
notes remind us of the scent of dry wood or even wooden pencils
but also products aged in oak casks.
Sometimes they call to mind the smell of coniferous bushes or aromatic
woods like sandalwood.
Less intense cereal notes evoke the smell of cereal products like
bread, especially bread crust and toast, but also breakfast cereals.
They also apply to scents of walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds. These
should not be confused with buttery notes that resemble dairy products
or the sweet hints of vanilla and caramel found in biscuits or
cakes as well as aromas released when baking certain pastries.
On a different level, you find fruity-winey notes that echo the taste
of red fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, raisins
and blueberries. Sometimes these call up the taste of other fruits
such as apricots, plums, apples, pears or peaches. Quite distinct are
citrus notes that generally resemble lemons or bergamot oranges.
What other taste characteristics are important to recognize?
Bitterness is vital because it allows the taste of the coffee to linger in
the mouth. Chicory, dark chocolate and cocoa all deliver quite apparent
bitter tastes that are easily perceived on the back of the tongue.
Body is also key and refers to the fullness, viscosity and density that
we sense from the coffee.
A coffee that has full body feels thick and very apparent in the
mouth, whereas a coffee lacking in body will be watery and fluid.
Strength is defined by the coffee’s degree of roasting, its body and its
bitterness. It has nothing to do with caffeine. The most vivid sensation
is produced by acidity, an important base note because it gives
the coffee a lively ‘bite’.
