I defy anyone watching this flick on the well loved cup o Joe not to want one afterwards. Can you imagine how jacked up folks were over at the " Coffee Institute " ?

Drip has no "verve" it tastes like KoolAid.
Perked is best. (But I have never seen anyone boil the water first before dropping in the basket. Seems like a good way to burn yourself.)
Quite informative, well done film. So that's what vacuum means? Never seen that done anywhere.
The blindfold, telephone, and carpet all match!

I have often ordered 'Yankee Coffee', then I gotta explain that 'Yankee Coffee' is coffee wit cream as in my travels almost everywhere above Kentucky whenever the coffee is served they always add the cream/milk anyway.
'Course up there they serve coffee that is just shy of petroleum.
. . . and that coffee with chicory - - - wow - - - it can give the uninitiated a bit of vertigo/dizziness.
British coffee on the other hand has been so thin that the date on a coin in the bottom of the cup is actually readable.
Between Portsmouth, N.H. and Boston is a diner - EATS - where is served a chowder that has gotta be the world's best in bowls large enough to bathe in and coffee is provided in super thick white ceramic concave sided cylinders with a single hole in a protrusion serving as a handle that accommodates a single finger. When empty these mugs can also be used as weapons. (finish the coffee first - too good to waste especially in an brawl)
With a nor-easter blizzard outside. . . hunkering down at the counter with the chowder, a spoon that could double as an e-tool, and THEIR coffee among traveling men - - - an unforgettable little slice of heaven from my wild and furry yout.
Wonderful people those - - -

A near-fascist take on how coffee should be prepared if you don't want to anger the coffee preparation authorities. While it's not quite over the top enough to be funny, there's a fun Easter egg: one of the carafes being used is the same one being designed and manufactured by Corning in "American Women: Partners in Research," available elsewhere on the site.

A great 12 minute look into the coffeesnobs process of 1961. Much of the process has changed in the last 50 years and now you would never use boiling water to make coffee (just off the boil is much better).
Interesting to see the Cona and many of the brew methods that have been redicovered in the last few years too. Everything old is new again if you wait long enough!
Well worth your 12 minutes to watch it if you love coffee.

The first time I watched this I laughed so hard my husband came back into the office to see what was up. A very cute slice of early 60's Americana, the final years of that magic age in which everyone owned a white house with a picket fence, stayed married forever, had 2.5 kids, a dog, a doghouse and a grill that was the envy of the neighborhood. And yes, I agree; that voice...sounds...like Shatner's!
Now if I could only find one of those CBI measures, my life would be complete.

This is obviously made by a consortium (conspiracy?) of coffee business folks. Still, I can get a caffeine buzz just by watching this! One of my favorite industrial films.

About 1960 maby earlier, "Coffee brewers institute" offered classes in coffee brewing. I was nite mgr. at Hodys resturant, n.w. corner Hollywood & vine in Hollywood, Ca. Upon completion of instruction, we were awarded a 1/2 gold colored coffee cup and hung it over the enterance to the bar. Tap water should be fit to drink. Never boiled or perked. 210 degrees. No more. Fresh coffee in a can or bag is near unatainable unless you find fresh roasted beans & grind 'em yourself. To test, take a pinch of coffee and roll it between thumb and forefinger. You should feel the oil. Second test, place a hot cup of coffee across the table and you can see a thin film of oil on the surface. When we all started to send the stale coffee back to the merchants, they declared war and stored all fresh coffee until it was stale. NO standard brand is fresh. I saw NOTHING in the movie to impress me. Coffee is too beautiful to be treated with so much disrespect...

Is it just me, or is William Shatner narrating this?
I'm pretty sure all of my coffee scoops are approved by the Coffee Brewing Institute. If nothing else, they help me to make delicious coffee. Mmmmm. Coffee.
I agree. Once the delicious coffee is gone, all that remains is bitterness.

This is one informative clip... I've never before heard of this Coffee Brewers Institute Also, all these years I blamed the poor coffee percolator and its nasty habit of regurgitation for making foul, bitter muck from coffee grounds. Alas, The Coffee Brewers Institute has corrected the error in my thinking. It was my non-Coffee Brewers Institute-approved coffee scoop thats been at fault all these years!
Now, if only I could find one of those approved scoops...

Great video. I am an avid coffee drinker,drink virtually the entire day and night. It has never affected my sleep as it does with some people. I cant imagine reading,watching a movie,surfing the net,or anything without my trusty,steaming cup of Joe! I swear,while watching this clip I could detect the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

Didn't mention espresso method, but covered all other methods in loving detail.
Classically lit and shot. The romantic settings were hilarious!

Subject: The romanticization of coffee
This highly entertaining and informative film discusses the types of coffee prevalent in various cultures around the world and then devotes itself to demonstrating numerous methods of preparing the drink through the use of different coffee pots. It won't take long for the viewer to realize that the narrator is absolutely transfixed by the qualities of coffee; he employs incredibly flowery language and repeatedly uses the word 'perfect' to praise the beverage. Relaxing music plays throughout the film and is appropriate for the topic being examined.

GREAT overview of coffee here, how it's grown, how it's made around the world and dammit, how YOU should make it! Remember, 3/4 cup for every cup made! An approved scoop from the Coffee Institute helps too! The narrator sounds like he's on the edge of orgasm here. I loved this piece! This is a MUST SEE on this site.

I never knew there was a "Coffee Brewing Institute" but I'm willing to be institutionalized and wrestle open "the closed fist of the bean." A more stylized film than "Time for Coffee," with emphasis on the consuming instead of the growing and selling.
