Panache Gourmet Coffee ® S ELE C T I O N G U I D E To successfully compete in today’s retail coffee business, you need more than just good coffee and a talented staff. You need P a n a c h e. To the French, “Panache” means “style” or “verve”. To Americans, Panache means great coffee. Panache®—CBI’s flagship brand of over 100 delicious specialty coffees—includes rare single-origins, balanced blends, aromatic flavors and delicious espressos. The selection is exceptional and, as one of the world’s leading specialty roasters, CBI unconditionally guarantees Panache coffees to be the best you can offer your customers. Since 1972, CBI has specialized in coffees that are small-batch roasted, but not because this traditional method is quick or easy. In fact, our style of roasting coffee takes years to master and is seldom seen outside of Europe. We roast Panache coffees this way simply because no other process creates the same full spectrum of captivating flavors and aromas. With over thirty years of artisan-roasting coffees, we know consumers will taste the difference and reward the retailers that sell our coffees. This Coffee Selection Guide contains a complete listing of Panache coffees. It’s designed to assist you in creating a selection of coffees for your store by illustrating and explaining each coffee’s unique flavor characteristics. Unlike the large national coffee chains that are locked into a rigid selection of coffees, Panache retailers can easily customize their coffee selections, attracting new business by keeping their stores fresh and interesting while meeting the unique and changing needs of their neighborhood’s customers. If you appreciate our fine, Kosher-certified Panache coffees, we know you will also enjoy CBI’s other high quality products, including our selection of organic Café Tierra® coffees, Xanadu® and Country Spice® teas, Panache Blender Mixes and Panache Cocoas. Remember, wherever our Panache coffees are served, we intend them to be. . . Your neighborhood’s best coffee®.

To help you understand the special qualities of our Panache coffees— without creating text that is impossible to read and enjoy—we have designed this easy-to-follow Coffee Selection Guide to convey the most important information about each coffee. On these first pages, you’ll discover how we have charted each Panache coffees’ unique “profile”, including the name where it’s grown, roast level, primary taste characteristics and interesting information about its origins. Pages 4 through 7 contain all Panache Single-Origin Coffees, arranged geographically by the three regions of the world (Africa, Asia and The A mericas) where these outstanding coffees are grown. Within each geographic section, our coffees are arranged alphabetically and include both estate and darker roast options where available. Our Blended Coffees—arranged alphabetically, with roast level and flavor information—are found on pages 8 and 9. As you will see, we have designed a useful flavor scale in this section to help you select a blend based on its overall strength. Panache professional Espresso Blends are found on page 10, with flavor and crema information for each coffee, as well as a separate strength scale.The full selection of Panache Flavored Coffees is found on page 11, arranged alphabetically for easy lookup.

P ANACHE R OASTS 450º TEMPERATURE BLACK GLISTENING CBI French Roast BROWN /BLACK VERY OILY 430º CBI Italian Roast MAHOGANY OILY 420º DARK BROWN CBI Velvet Roast™ 410º 390º CBI Peak Roast ™ THIN OIL BROWN Common Cinnamon Roast TAN MINUTES: 14 TO SOME OIL DARK BROWN 400º .50 15 .50 16 .50 17 .50 18 .50 19 .50 20 S U I T E V E R Y O N E— L I G H T , M E D I U M , D A R K As coffee roasts longer, its bite begins to mellow and more roast flavors creep into the brew. Our large roast selection allows you to taste the difference roasting makes, while satisfying all types of tastes and brewing methods. During the roasting process the following changes occur to the green coffee bean: beans lose moisture and expand in size, beans darken in color, sugars inside the bean caramelize—bringing oil to the surface of the bean, and flavor develops. PEAK ROAST— Peak Roast is our lightest roast, but most Panache coffees are Peak roasted to a select flavor standard, rather than to a specific color. Peak roasting creates coffees with balanced flavor and full aromatics, allowing connoisseurs to distinguish taste differences due to coffee origins and quality. If one of our coffees does not specify a roast level, it’s Peak Roasted. VELVET ROAST— Similar to a full city roast, Velvet coffees are roasted slightly longer than Peak, to a specific shade of brown. The extended roasting time creates a hearty coffee with moderate aroma and heightened flavor and body. Velvet and other dark-roasted coffees offer more consistent flavor than lighter-roasted coffees, because the roast adds its own distinctive flavor to the coffee. Delicious bittersweet undertones are evident, while any acidic bite tends to diminish. ESPRESSO ROAST— Similar to the traditional European espresso roast, Panache Espresso is roasted light enough to retain delicate aromatics, yet dark enough to moderately caramelize sugars within the beans. We apply our Espresso roast to several different coffee blends, rather than just a single variety. Blending builds variation, dimension and flavor into the brews. Espresso roasted 2 P ERFECTION CBI Double French Roast™ / Anniversary Roast 440º ROASTS FOR For more information about Panache call 800-877-0474. www.coffeebeanintl.com / products @ coffeebeanintl.com coffees are preferred for espresso beverages, because their aromatic, spicy flavors can be quickly extracted during brewing. ITALIAN ROAST— This roast, the third darkest we offer, creates a stout, bittersweet coffee marked with smooth, mellow undertones and spicy flavor. The extended roasting time causes a profound flavor difference, though an untrained eye may not detect a color difference between Italian and Espresso roasts. Italian roasted coffee is marked by heavy oils on the beans’ outside surface. The heat of roasting causes the beans’ sugars to fully caramelize, creating bittersweet flavor throughout the coffee. Normally, Italian roasted coffees are drip extracted, but they can also be brewed in any espresso maker. FRENCH ROAST— Low in acidity, yet high in spicy bittersweet flavor, this coffee has been a favorite for generations. Legend says French Roast coffee is so named because Old World chefs used frying pans for roasting, giving the coffee a distinctive charcoal (almost black) color. In this roast, delicate coffee aromatics are sacrificed to achieve spicier flavor. DOUBLE FRENCH ROAST— Double French Roast exhibits a spicy, bittersweet flavor that cannot be matched by any lesser roasted coffee. Roasting for a mere 15 seconds longer than our regular French Roast, it is positively amazing how a short variation of time and temperature completely changes a coffee. ANNIVERSARY ROAST— All of the attributes of our Double French Roast, taken to the extreme. HOW TO USE OUR PANACHE COFFEE GUIDE Decaffeination Methods FIVE ELEMENTS TO CONSIDER 1 —What’s in a Name? Identifying name attributes. 2 —Roast Levels. 3 —Coffee Description. 4 —Extra Choices. Packaging and decaffeination options. 5 —How Does it Taste? Scale guide. 1 2 SUMATRA MANDHELING PEAK ROAST Mandheling, the most widely available of the Sumatran coffees, shares many flavor characteristics (such as an earthy, full-bodied and low acidity taste), with its other Sumatran cousins, but is not as expensive. Mandheling is not a regional destination, rather it is a style of coffee. Also available in European decaffeinated. ™ 3 Flavor: Medium Body: Full Acidity: Light Aroma: Delicate, Mild 4 European Process Decaffeination 5 ABOUT OUR SCALE GUIDE We consider four qualities when tasting coffee. Scale guides showcase each coffee’s specific profile by ranking flavor, body, acidity and aroma. These four attributes, when combined in the cup, create the Taste experience. FLAVOR —The inherent sensory impression of the coffee. The flavor intensity of coffee varies from country to country and is influenced by roast. A few terms to describe flavor are: Light, Dark, Intense, Mild, Medium, Strong. BODY —Refers to how coffee feels—rich and thick, in your mouth. It should not be confused with strength, which involves the brewing cycle ratio of coffee to water. A good analogy for understanding body is to compare it to milk; skim milk, with a light, watery feeling in your mouth is like a light bodied coffee; half-and-half, with a heavy, tongue-coating feeling in your mouth, is like a heavy bodied coffee. Many coffees fall in between these two extremes. A few terms to describe Body are: Creamy, Heavy, Light, Medium, Rich, Smooth, Syrupy, Thick, Thin. ACIDITY —The “sharp” or “lively” feeling experienced in the finish, or aftertaste. Coffee with a dry, tart, lingering taste is higher in acidity than a coffee with a clean finish. Acidity does not refer to bitterness. A few terms used to describe Acidity are: Astringent, Bright, Crisp, Dry, Snappy. AROMA —The combination of fragrances experienced before and during drinking. It can be light and floral, or heavy and earthy. Terms used to describe Aroma: Chocolatey, Herbally, Flowery, Fruity, Nutty, Spicy. W H A T’ S Country Ethiopia IN A All coffee grows about 97% caffeine free. The Arabica species of coffee CBI uses grows 98.5% to 99% caffeine free. Yet, to be considered decaffeinated, at least 97% of the coffee’s naturally existing caffeine must be removed. For that to occur, unroasted coffee must be put through a process that causes caffeine to bond with another element, pulling the caffeine away from the coffee bean. CBI coffees are decaffeinated by either one of two methods: This most common method of decaffeinating coffee, uses methylene chloride as the bonding agent. Methylene chloride removes only caffeine from green coffee beans. Coffee connoisseurs often prefer the flavor of methylene chloride decaffeinated coffees. Swiss Water® Decaffeination This method uses water to extract caffeine. Green coffee beans are immersed in hot water, which is then filtered through activated charcoal. The result is a naturally decaffeinated coffee, without the use of decaffeinating chemicals. N A M E? D E C I P H E R I N G S I N G L E- O R I G I N C O F F E E N A M E S.

Flavor: Mild Body: Medium A cidity: Snappy Aroma: Sweet OVERVIEW OF SINGE-ORIGIN COFFEES Single-origin coffees come from a specific coffeegrowing region and are named for their country of origin. We roast most of our single-origin coffees to their “Peak”, to maximize the coffee’s inherent taste, without adding flavors from the roast. VELVET ROAST KENYA VELVET ROAST Our dark roast adds spice and flavor to the winey, fruity notes of a fine, medium-bodied Kenya coffee. Flavor: Strong Body: Medium A cidity: Medium Aroma: Fruity ™ Coffees grown in different parts of the world vary in flavor due to different soil and climate conditions, as well as different harvesting processes. In addition, weather variance can cause coffees from the same part of the world to taste slightly different from crop-to-crop (similar to any agricultural product). Coffees of East Africa TANZANIAN PEABERRY PEAK ROAST Grown near the northern border of Tanzania, on the southern flanks of Mount Kilimanjaro, Peaberry beans are the result of one round seed, rather than two flat seeds, forming a small, round bean in the heart of the coffee berry.

One pound of coffee, at 7 grams per shot, yields approximately 65 single shots of espresso. 1—FRESHNESS Oxygen and humidity are coffee’s enemies— they break down the oils of the bean and cause the taste to deteriorate. To ensure you receive the freshest coffee possible, we package our 5 lb. and 12 oz. coffees within an hour of roasting, in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen-sealed bags. Each bag has a one-way valve that allows the carbon dioxide released from the roasted coffee to escape, but does not allow oxygen or humidity to enter. Our packaging keeps coffee fresh for a minimum of three months. Once a bag has been opened, we recommend that whole bean coffee be used within 7-10 days. We encourage our customers to order only enough coffee for a maximum of 2 weeks. Coffee should always be rotated: first in, first out. 2—WATER Water is 98-99% of the cup, so water greatly affects the taste of coffee. Use only filtered or bottled water in your brewing equipment, and ensure your filters are changed on a regular basis. (Frequency depends on many factors—consult your local service company for more information.) Water temperature should be 195ºF—205ºF to ensure proper extraction. 3—GRIND The correct grind ensures a flavorful, balanced extraction. Too coarse a grind results in a weak tasting cup of coffee, too fine a grind results in a bitter tasting cup of coffee. (If you need assistance in selecting the right grind, please contact your Account Representative, our Customer Service Department, or your service company.) 4—PROPORTION Proportion refers to the amount of ground coffee used, in relation to the amount of water, when brewing a pot of coffee. We commonly refer to this as “drop weight”. We recommend 3-4 oz. of coffee per 1/2 gallon (64 oz.) of water. 5—HOLDING TIME Holding time refers to the length of time the coffee is allowed to remain in an airpot or on a burner, and still remain fresh. We recommend the following hold times: Glass carafe on a burner 15-20 minutes Satellite on Warmer 30-60 minutes Airpot/Thermal Server 60-90 minutes For more information about Panache Gourmet Coffee, please call us at (800) 877-0474 or find us at www.coffeebeanintl.com.
