Abyssinian Mocca is an Ethiopian coffee type exclusive to Moplaco. The coffee is grown in the Eastern highlands if Ethiopia where Mocca coffee originated. It grows at altitudes as high as 2,200 metres and the local farmers use only traditional methods of cultivation. It is carefully cleaned and prepared at Moplaco’s Addis Ababa facility using modern techniques and equipment. The coffee is of uniform appearance and the cup quality is characterized by the consistency of its special Mocca flavor; the unique winey, gamey tastes which can only be found in coffee from this area.

16 Feb 09 Senseo® Sundays ::: TALES :::
The Senseo Sundays are back online! Your 15 minutes coffee break accompanied with good music.
Coffea Arabica originated in Ethiopia where apparently a shepherd noticed that his goats became more frisky and animated after chewing on the berries of the plant. Kaffa, the region where this amazing plant was discovered, has cultivated the plants and beans since the thirteenth century. It wasn’t until the sixteenth century however that the locals began roasting the pits of the coffee cherries before using them in their hot brewed beverages. These beans or pits were dried, roasted and ground to create the first coffee beverage.
Arabia maintained a hold on coffee production for several centuries, however the Dutch managed to smuggle a few plants out of Arabia and a long a colourful history of espionage, smuggling and redistribution ensued. Now coffea arabica grows around the planet in a narrow belt around the equator and is one of the second highest commodities traded after oil.
Light roast
Some coffees, like our Costa Rica, have such a delicate fragrance that roasting them beyond a light- medium roast would ruin them.
Medium roast
Incredibly complex, full flavour, optimal body, balanced acidity. This is where we get the most and the best out of our beans.
Dark roast
Our Dark French roast is roasted slowly to caramelize the sugars in the beans. This results in a sweeter finish than most fast roasted dark beans available elsewhere. The intensity of the French roast lies in its bittersweet peculiar taste.
So, have a break…..

09 Feb 09 S 4.14 Mystery of Mystery
The adrenaline one gets while hearing music on a dancefloor can also be generated when listening to ambient music on the sofa, couple of beats included if you will, shall we try today? Good music from the 90’s comes with mystery as well, some bands still exist, some bands simply disappeared from the scene and only continued to perform in our memories. These memories will be visualized on this Spacemusic podcast S 4.14 - we bring in the real guns… Xingu Hill is the perfect opening for 1995 on stage, we saw the man performing his album ‘Maps of the Impossible’ but today we play unreleased stuff…. Turning the knobs, lifting us from the ground as the hi-cut frequency filter opened up our world of dreams.
The PLATO store in The Hague during the 90’s was our weekly stop for the latest news about ambient and electronic releases: Mr. ‘Elf’ certainly overwhelmed us those days with his excellent choices for exclusive albums…. Enjoy this (90’s) essence of ambient and beats, accompanied with Xingu Hill, Pete Namlook, Higher Intelligence Agency, The Psychick Warriors ov Gaia and Bola. The great spirit of the 90’s, the warm ambient/electronic music scene, parties we visited back then 15 years ago in Leerdam, Wassenaar, Rotterdam, The Hague and more…., no laser shows but strobo+smoke and pars only, DJ’s-Labels-and friends like Paul Funk, Elf, Mixmaster Morris, Apollo Records, KK-records, EM:T records, April Records, Rising High Records, FAX-label, Nico, Olaf, Mark, Tim, Paul, Victor, … The music on this podcast reflects the Mystery of Mystery, where it all got started for us, for me, myself and I - amongst the others - Happy Listening!

01 Feb 09 S 4.13 NSAID COX1 COX2
Spacemusic on drugs this episode: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs during the mixing and production to keep the tooth pain a bit light and bearable. The mind will flow from the past to the present and the future, it’s a moving show, it’s a show that makes you think about music in general and the digital era we live in. Artists publishing albums via their websites - making it more easy to keep track of their music - buying digital downloads via iTunes Store or any other store out there. In the year 2005 we had contact with Sonarfreq for instance - space music encounter with a touch of magic as Sonarfreq was a true creative designer both in audio and visual forms. After hardly 4 years we started searching for him again… the original Sonarfreq URL now pops-up a completely different site, no Sonarfreq music anymore, no artwork, all gone. Not a single trace via the iTunes Store. Silence…. Just a second ago we realized that the modern way of publishing music via sites and e-stores makes music more fragile than you’d possibly think… There’s this risk of music being DIGITAL only: no longer it is a physical product and therefore it has become a very vulnerable piece of art. Horrifying process isn’t it?! Seriously, we should look after our artists and music much much more. Time for our next pill….
