Warsaw coffee weekends. Last week I managed to get out to Warsaw for a couple of days. The weather smiled and one half of the day was devoted to a little walk. First on the list was Coffee desk coffee shop. Located on one of the small streets in the centre. Great selection of specialty coffee for sale. But on site filter coffee offered pre-brewed from thermoses. Tried the Kenya. It was served in a big heavy mug. There were hardly any seats available inside. Sat on the terrace. Coffee was a 7 out of 10.
Next I went to a small, rushed concept with yellow sweatshirt and blue walls, on a busy hipster street called Cofphi. Not much coffee selection for sale, but I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of cascara from Costa Rica on the shelf. I've been looking for a good cascara for a long time.
The next concept Soulmate was located deep in the park next to the skatepark and in a detached house. But nothing much I can tell you about it other than the cake was great. on in the setting sun we walked into a spacious coffee shop Na Bank close to busy Bank Square Here ordered a V60 and of course chose Peru. But got pretty much an good Americano with no fruity acidity. There were a lot of people here even in the evening. Seems like a lot of people use this place to study and as a meeting place. That's it all with my small coffee trip in Warsaw. Come and visit us for Polish roasting and cascara. See you!

PAR AKCĪZES NODOKĻA ATCELŠANU KAFIJAI
JAU PARAKSTĪJUŠI 2859
Kāpēc Latvijā kafija maksā dārgāk, salīdzinot ar Igauniju un Lietuvu? Tāpēc, ka kafijai ir piemērots akcīzes nodoklis. Latvija ir viena no retajām Eiropas valstīm, kuras likumdošana paredz akcīzes nodokli par kafiju. Šis nodoklis tradicionāli ir piemērots precēm, kuras ir kaitīgas cilvēkam un apkārtējai videi, un tas palielina kafijas gala cenu par 1.42 eiro/kg. Iznākumā valsts prasīto akcīzes nodokli maksā kafijas gala patērētajs – šā dzēriena baudītājs, to patērējot gan mājās, gan sabiedriskās ēdināšanas iestādēs. Kafijas kaitīgums galvenokārt tiek pamatots ar faktu, ka Pasaules veselības organizācija (PVO) 1991. gadā kafiju klasificēja 2B grupā, kas norāda, ka šīs vielas var būt "iespējami kancerogēnas cilvēkiem". Taču PVO un Starptautiskā vēža pētniecības aģentūra (IARC) 2016. gada 15. jūnijā preses relīzē (https://www.iarc.who.int) atzina, ka "rūpīgi pārskatot vairāk nekā 1000 pētījumu, tika konstatēts, ka nav pietiekami pārliecinošu pētījumu, kas pierādītu kafijas iespējamo kancerogēno iedarbību uz cilvēkiem". Līdz ar to kafija no 2016. gada iedalās 3. grupā, kas norāda, ka šīs vielas "neklasificējas, kā kancerogēnas" (https://monographs.iarc.who.int). Vienīgi tika atrasti pētījumi, kas norāda, ka ļoti karstu dzērienu (virs 65 °C) lietošana var izraisīt barības vada vēzi. Taču tas attiecas uz visiem karstajiem dzērieniem. Tieši pretēji, ar laiku ar vien vairāk tiek pierādīts, ka mērens kafijas patēriņš var uzlabot cilvēka veselību (https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org). Piemēram, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) kohorta pētījumā, kurā piedalījās vairāk nekā 521'300 dalībnieki no desmit Eiropas valstīm, norādīja, ka lielāks kafijas patēriņš tiek asociēts ar mazāku mirstības risku (https://www.iarc.who.int). Kafija tiek uzskatīta arī par vienu no galvenajiem polifenolu avotiem austrumeiropiešu uzturā (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Kafijas labvēlīgā ietekme uz cilvēka veselību galvenokārt tiek pamatota uz to daudzveidīgo bioloģiski aktīvo komponentu klāstu (vairāk par 2000 savienojumu, ieskaitot polifenolu savienojumus). Apstiprināti arī ir pētījuma dati, ka austrumeiropiešu vidū kafijas patēriņš tiek sasaistīts ar samazinātu mirstības risku (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

Tāpēc ierosinu atcelt akcīzi kafijai, tā izlīdzinot konkurenci vismaz Baltijas mērogā un atvieglojot gala patērātāja izdevumu slogu.

Atceļot akcīzi kafijai, primāri iegūs gala patērētājs, izlīdzinot sadārdzinājumu salīdzinājumā ar Baltijas kaimiņvalstīm. Kā arī tiks noņemti lieki birokrātiski slogi gan esošajiem kafijas biznesā iesaistītajiem, gan jauniem uzņēmumiem.

Latvija ir viena no retajām valstīm Eiropā, kur ir akcīzes nodoklis kafijai. Mūsu tuvākajiem kaimiņiem – Lietuvai un Igaunijai – šāda papildus nodokļa kafijai nav. Atcelsim akcīzi kafijai!

As part of the WEEK GERMAN COFFEE ROASTERS in Strada coffee bar, we are pleased to present THE BARN ROASTERY from Berlin.

The Barn philosophy is to source and roast some of the best coffees available. By paying premium prices they enable coffee farmers to create a sustainable business. All coffees are scoring 86 points and more; they are fresh in season and roasted to perfection: their roast style is fully developed but light and clean The Barn is a leading coffee roaster in Europe and represents the Specialty Coffee Movement since 2010. Their vision has been very clear from the start: a focus on making their coffees better and better. It all started when Ralf, the man behind The Barn, moved back to his home country  after living in London for 10 years. He used to work in both finance and acting but coming back he decided to try something different, aiming to combine his work and passion. Having the chance to work in hospitality, he decided he finally found his way, and in 2010 he decided to open his own coffee place. Inspired by the quality and freshness of the food at Borough market in London, and noticing the lack of specialty coffee in town, he opened The Barn: at the beginning just as a coffee place, serving the best coffee they could find. One year later. Ralf started to think about opening his own roastery, and the rest is history.
In our coffeeshop Strada coffee bar , we offer two specialty coffee from The Barn Roastery and are brewed in a filter v60 and Chemex. Welcome!

As part of the Week of German coffee roasters in Strada Coffee Bar .riga , we are pleased to present Bonanza Coffee Roasters from Berlin. From its non-descript gray brick exterior, passersby could easily mistake Bonanza Coffee Roasters for any number of hip boutiques and cafés on one of Prenzlauer Berg’s most gentrified streets in former East Berlin, just blocks from where the Berlin Wall once stood. Even its slight neon sign, a scroll of cursive letters that reads, Bonanza Coffee Heroes, is hard to decipher. But no matter; Bonanza has made a name for itself (despite appearances) as Berlin’s original roastery, which has been setting standards in the capital for almost a decade.
Launched by Berliner Yumi Choi and her business partner Kiduk Reus back in 2006, Bonanza Coffee Roasters (formerly Heroes) was the first of its kind—a boutique roastery that brought quality coffee to the lips of the deprived.
Bonanza buys boutique coffee beans from Ethiopia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Kenya, Indonesia, and Colombia and pays a significantly higher premium than fair-trade prices. Yumi regularly visits cafes and roasters across Europe to bring back sample beans, which they also sell in the shop. “That’s what we’re here for, to showcase how coffee can taste, but also to share what’s going on internationally in the coffee world,” she says.
While Bonanza focuses on wholesale and consulting outside of the shop, inside it’s all about the aromatic wafts of coffee that keep customers hooked. With no food on the menu, Bonanza is not a café in a classic sense. In fact, it’s quite minimalist, with only a couple of small tables and a window-side counter that faces the pedestrian-strewn street. The rest of the space is devoted to a three-kilogram Probat, hailing from 1918. They also have a roasting production setup in the district of Wedding, north of Prenzlauer Berg.

In our Strada coffee bar we offer tested best coffee from Bonanza Coffee Roasters brewed in a filter V60 or in Chemex.
