Coffee Bag Statistics for Top 10 countries

10.Mexico

The production of coffee in Mexico is about 3,700,000 bags. This is the current figure but Mexico has set its eyes on the year 2012 to increase its production capacity. According to Gabriel Barreda, President of the National Union of Coffee Producers, a rise of about 10-15% is expected in the overall coffee production in the year 2012.

9.Guatemala

The production here is 3,910,000 bags. The history of the coffee industry in Guatemala dates back to 1860′s and at that time the locals didn’t have sufficient money to invest in the coffee estates. For this particular reason, the foreigners invested huge capital in Guatemala and now own coffee plantations there. U.S is the largest market for the export of coffee from Guatemala followed by Japan.

8.Peru

Peru produces around 4,000,000 bags. Coffee is one of the main agricultural sectors of Peru and it makes large amount of money by the export of coffee. There are almost 200,0000 farms of Arabica, a type of coffee, in Peru but the size of the farms is small ___ approximately equal to 2 hectares.

7.Honduras

The coffee production in Honduras is 4,000,000 bags. Honduras is primarily an agricultural country and its economy is dependent on agricultural expots to a very great extent. Coffee is the largest export crop for this country. Honduras is blessed with all tha environmental factors which are required for coffee production but it seriously lack in the pertinent infrastructure, processing techniques and a distinct ‘name’ due to which the exporters of coffee in this country are unable to charge premium prices from the customers.

6.Ethiopia

Ethiopia produces around 4,400,000 bags of coffee. There are myriad ways to produce coffee and Ethiopia has around four types of production systems; forest coffee, semi- forest coffee, garden coffee and plantation coffee. Coffee is very vital to the economy of this country and this is validated by the fact that around 25% of the total population of Ethiopia is relying on coffee for their livelihood.

5.India

In India, the coffee production is approximately 5,100,000 bags. Although India has managed to grab the fifth position in the top ten chart but according to some industry experts in this country, the total production of coffee may possibly go down by ten percent. The reason anticipated is the sporadic rains which have started early this year.

4.Indonesia

There is a great jump in the production of coffee in Indonesia as compared to India with a figure of around 9,325,000 bags. According to an estimate, about 90% of the coffee production in this country is done by small farm holders and the size of the farms is nearly one hectare.Coffea canephora, a type of coffee, constitutes the major portion of the export of Indonesia and the rest goes to the Coffea Arabica.

3.Colombia

The production of coffee in Colombia is around 9,500,000 bags. Colombian coffee is not an ordinary one like the other coffee producing countries because it has a unique taste and a very high quality coffee beans. The production of coffee will not be increased seemingly due to bad weather condition prevailing in Colombia. The overall weather forecast for the year 2012 is not very appealing to the cultivators throughout the world.

2.Vietnam

The production of coffee in Vietnam touches a figure of 18,725,000 bags. In the initial stages of the cultivation of coffee, water is essential for a healthy crop. Taking this thing into consideration, the farmers have started watering the fields because the weather forecast is dry and enough water will have to be supplied as a repercussion. The export of coffee is on the rise and a forecast of four percent rise in exports is there by the analysts. Vietnam is the top robust producer.

1.Brazil

The estimated production of coffee in Brazil is about 54,500,000 bags. About one third of all the coffee produced in the world is attributed to Brazil and the more cherishing thing for Brazilians is that they have maintained this top position for around 150 years. Notwithstanding, the Brazilian coffee does not have a dominating impression in the International market. Even in the domestic market of Brazil, the two U.S coffee processors ___ Sara Lee and Kraft Foods ___ have steal the show.

How to Choose Coffee Beans - All You Need to Know

Some types of roasts:
Roast - Light, Dark and Everything in Between

As well as species and region, the degree of the roast plays a large part in determining the flavor of your favorite coffee. The roasting process caramelizes the bean sugars and releases the coffee oils, chemically changing coffee beans from green and unappetizing, to shiny, brown and fragrant.

Roasts and Brewing Methods - each of the levels of roast listed below can be used for any method of coffee making, with the exception of espresso, for which you should use only a dark, or very-dark roast.

Roast Flavor vs Bean Flavor - the light, or pale cinnamon roast should only be used with very high quality coffee. This is because the lighter the roast, the more of the coffee bean traits you will taste in the cup. A light roast will mask none of the coffee's origin traits. A dark roast will take on the overall characteristic flavor of the roast, masking the flavor of the individual beans.

Milk? - High quality coffees, with their agreeable acidity, benefit from the light or medium roasts and generally taste good with milk. The darker roasts should be served black.
Levels / Degrees of Roast - 

	Other Names	Color	Lustre	Taste
Light	Cinnamon Roast	Pale-brown	None	Sharp, acidic
Medium	American Roast, city roast	Brown	Mild	Bittersweet tang
Dark	Continental Roast, Viennese Roast	Dark-brown	Shiny	Smoky
Vary Dark	French Roast, New Orleans Roast, Full Roast	Almost black	Glossy	Smoky, rich

 
Caffeine - Darker roasts contain slightly less caffeine than lighter roasts.

When to Roast?, When to Blend? - Some coffees are roasted first, in single-origin batches before being blended. Others are blended first before being roasted together. Each technique has it's own advantages and disadvantages, with coffee buffs arguing the point either way. Some argue that since each variety of bean has an optimum level of roast, they should be roasted first and blended later. Others say that blending should occur before the roast to allow full integration of bean flavors during roasting. For convenience sake, many large coffee roasting factories will blend before roasting. For more information, see section 4 below, or read our article on coffee blending and coffee blends.


Region - Where in the world?

As you walk into a coffee market, you are confronted with numerous varieties and styles of coffee. Varieties include Kenyan, Jamaican Blue Mountain, Java and Ethiopian Mocha - just to name a few.

After species, the second biggest flavor determining factor of coffee is its region of origin. The altitude, soil type, climate and methods of harvesting for a particular region result in common flavors across coffee beans from that region. The easiest way to categorize the coffee regions is to divide them into these three locales: Asia-Indonesia-Pacific, Africa/Arabia and Central-and-South-America. Within these three locales, many different coffee beans are harvested. Otherwise, as a brief guide, the tables below will serve you well:

Region 1 - Latin America
Area	Central and South America, Caribbean, Columbia, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico
Acidity	medium to high
Body	light
Flavor	well-balanced, sweet, intense, tangy
Recommended Roast	Mild to medium - to preserve the brightness of the bean without introducing bitterness
Accompaniment	Breakfast, toast, muffins

Region 2 - Africa/Arabia
Area	African continent, middle-east, Arabia
Acidity	medium
Body	medium, syrupy
Flavor	spicy, wine-like, cocoa, citrus fruits and berries, wild
Recommended Roast	Dark
Accompaniment	Milk chocolate, cheesecake

Region 3 - Asia-Indo-Pacific
Area	Asia, Indonesia and surrounding pacific islands
Acidity	low
Body	bold, strong, heavy
Flavor	powerful, robust, earthy, smooth, flowery, robust, hearty, bitter tones
Recommended Roast	Dark to Very Dark
Accompaniment	Dark Chocolate, Rich desserts, Caramel

If you want to buy coffee online, Peet's Coffee and Tea has a section that allows you to select coffee by region before ordering. Peet's delivers fresh coffee that is roasted to order.

I couldn't find percentages but here are some recipes for coffee related drinks:
  
Espresso

 Traditionally this is a single 1oz shot of coffee made with 7g of finely ground coffee extracted at between 18 and 25 seconds. The espresso shot forms the basic ingredient for many of our well known coffee recipes and a few less well known! Here is a small selection for you to try:

• Americano (american) - An espresso shot diluted to taste with hot water.
• Romano (roman) - Espresso shot served with a twist of lemon.
• Corretto (correct, proper) - Espresso shot with grappa.
• Doppio (double) - A double shot of espresso.
• Lungo (long) – An espresso which is made by extracting about 1.5oz of water through 7g of coffee. The texture is thinner but it contains a greater amount of caffeine.
• Ristretto (restricted) - A more concentrated espresso, normally of only about 0.75oz, made by restricting the extraction time. This maximises the flavour of the coffee and minimises the caffeine.
• Macchiato (marked, spotted) - A shot or two of espresso with just a spot of frothed milk on top.
• Iced Espresso - A double shot of espresso over crushed ice.

Cappuccino

A standard cappuccino is one part espresso with about three parts of frothed milk.

Cafe Latte

Much milkier than a cappuccino. One part espresso with at least five parts steamed (hot) milk and only a small amount of froth on top.

Cafe Latte Fredo

Espresso mixed with cold milk in the same proportions as a Cafe Latte shaken vigorously with ice in a cocktail shaker.

Cafe Mocha

One part espresso with one part chocolate syrup and two or three parts of frothed milk, optionally topped with whipped cream.

Espresso con Panna

One shot of espresso topped with a small amount of whipped cream.

Espresso Granita

One shot of espresso mixed with a teaspoon of soft brown sugar and a splash of brandy, frozen, then crushed and served in a parfait glass with whipped cream.
