Penulis empat buku tentang kopi dan editor Coffeereview.com, Kenneth Davids, menghadiri Pameran Kopi Internasional Taiwan 2024 pada Sabtu (16 November) di Pusat Pameran Taipei Nangang.
Sejak 1970-an, Davids telah membantu mempopulerkan kopi spesial dengan analisis mendalam tentang sumber, pemanggangan, dan pencicipan kopi. Selama penampilan publik di Taipei, dia mencatat bahwa perubahan terbesar dalam industri kopi global adalah kaburnya batas antara negara penghasil kopi dan konsumen kopi, menurut CNA.
Dia mengutip Taiwan, yang selama ini menjadi importir kopi berkualitas tetapi sekarang aktif memproduksi kopi. Davids menantikan produksi kopi kelas atas dan terjangkau dari Taiwan, mencatat bahwa kesenjangan antara negara-negara lama dengan produksi kopi dan pendatang baru semakin menyempit.
Davids tiba di Taiwan untuk mempromosikan buku terbarunya, "The 21st Century Coffee Bible." Buku ini mencakup pengalamannya berkeliling dunia dan memeriksa produksi dan budaya kopi.
Davids mengatakan pola produksi dan konsumsi kopi berubah, mencatat bahwa Brasil dulunya adalah negara penghasil kopi terbesar di dunia dan sekarang menjadi negara konsumen terbesar kedua. Davids mengatakan ini adalah contoh lain tentang bagaimana batas antara negara penghasil kopi dan konsumen kopi telah berubah.
Davids mendirikan sistem penilaian Coffee Review pada tahun 1997, mekanisme penilaian untuk kopi yang mirip dengan anggur. Dia berharap sistem pemeringkatan dapat memungkinkan lebih banyak orang untuk menghargai budaya dan kecanggihan kopi, sangat meningkatkan status kopi sebagai minuman.
Davids mengatakan sebelum Coffee Review, sulit untuk menentukan kualitas kopi. Biji kopi akan memiliki kualitasnya yang tertulis dengan mempesona pada kemasannya, tetapi informasi ini dilakukan untuk promosi dan terkadang tidak sesuai dengan kualitasnya.
Setelah mendirikan Coffee Review, dunia dapat belajar tentang kualitas kopi yang khas. Buku pertamanya 'Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing, and Enjoying' pada tahun 1976 terjual dengan baik secara internasional dan memengaruhi promosi budaya kopi.
Davids lahir di Chicago dan belajar jurnalisme di universitas ketika dia jatuh cinta pada kopi. Dia membuka kafenya, yang menawarkan makanan untuk mendukung bisnis kecil.
Gairah seumur hidupnya pada kopi tidak pernah mereda, dan bakatnya dalam jurnalisme mendorongnya untuk menulis buku tentang kopi. Dia menyatakan, "Pada saat itu, kebanyakan orang tidak menganggap kopi sebagai minuman yang terhormat dan tidak menganggapnya serius. Saya pikir kita perlu mempromosikan dan meningkatkan status kopi di benak orang-orang di seluruh dunia."
Davids mengatakan popularitas sistem Coffee Review telah membantu orang menjadi sadar akan sifat indah kopi kelas atas. Namun, ia berharap kopi semacam itu akan menjadi lebih tersedia untuk masyarakat umum, memungkinkan lebih banyak orang untuk menghargai kegembiraan kopi.
