Determinants of the helpfulness of specialty coffee reviews on Amazon
(Editora UFLA, 2025-03-20) Patiño Giraldo, Lida Valentina; Arango Pastrana, Carlos Alberto; Osorio Andrade, Carlos Fernando
With the increasing volume of online reviews on platforms like Amazon, customers must put considerable effort into isolating useful information from irrelevant or ambiguous content. One solution implemented by e-commerce sites to address this challenge is product review systems, where customers can vote on whether they find a review helpful, thereby reducing uncertainty in purchase decisions. Therefore, it is crucial to understand what makes a review helpful and how to enhance customer access to these valuable reviews. This study aims to analyze the content characteristics of online reviews that influence their perceived helpfulness in the context of specialty coffee products sold on Amazon. A content analysis was conducted on 2369 reviews to identify elements that contribute to their informational value. Subsequently, a zero-inflated negative binomial regression model was applied to test the hypotheses, addressing issues of overdispersion and an excess of zeros in the response variable. The findings suggest that aspects such as multimedia format, review depth, and the inclusion of extrinsic product attributes (price and quality) are key factors that enhance review helpfulness. On one hand, the use of images and videos helps consumers visualize the product and understand its features, while detailed and extensive reviews provide more comprehensive information. Moreover, factors like price and quality allow consumers to assess whether the product meets their needs and preferences. These findings are crucial for developing more effective marketing strategies in the coffee industry by providing a more precise understanding of the attributes most valued by consumers.

(Editora UFLA, 2025-04-28) Djafar, Zulkifli; Piarah, Wahyu Haryadi; Djafar, Zuryati; Massaguni, Massriyady
Coffee cherry grading technology is currently advanced, but it is necessary to adjust the sorting method and factors such as the condition of the coffee plantation location which has a limited water source to process wet processing such as semi-wash and full-wash. This study is an innovation of coffee cherry grading machines with semi-wash and full-wash methods that focuses on technology that can be applied to coffee plantation environments that have limited water sources so that the quality of water filtration, water quantity, and quality of coffee beans produced by this innovation are observed. The method used is to design and then measure the performance of the machine including filtration performance, the quantity of soaking media, and the quality of the coffee beans produced. The results of this innovation were successfully carried out by the application of effective water filtration, namely during the semi-wash process, the turbidity value in the Main Tube was 10.42 NTU and the Water Storage was 5.32 NTU. In the full wash process, the turbidity value at the Main Tube is 15.65 NTU and Water Storage is 7.70 NTU. This machine has a capacity of 7 kg of coffee with a volume of 306.79 liters of water required during the process. The quality of the green beans produced following SNI 01-2907-2008 and the visualization of coffee bean results according to the semi-wash green bean standard, which is bluish-green, and the full-wash result looks yellowish-green.

(Editora UFLA, 2025-06-03) Arief, Rastra Gemi Nastiti; Malrianti, Yefsi; Kasim, Anwar; Neswati; Sujatmiko
Kawa daun tea is a drink made of dried coffee leaves from Western Sumatra, offering refreshing benefits for the body. The use of a microwave in the drying process proves to be an effective method due to its significantly high efficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of varying drying time using microwave on the characteristics of coffee leaves, kawa daun tea, and drinking water, as well as to determine effect of microwave treatment. This study uses a complete random design with ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and followed by a DNMRT (Duncan’s News Multiple Range Test). The results showed that the difference in drying times significantly affected properties of coffee tea leaves, specifically on the total water-soluble substance test. However, there was no substantial impact on the yield, water level, polyphenols level, caffeine level, and antioxidant activity. The length was also affected by polyphenols level, total soluble solidity, and water solubility antioxidant activity, but did not impact caffeine content test. The maximum time for optimal drying coffee leaves was two minutes with a yield of 35.99% hydration, 4.33% water level, 48.56 mgGAE/g total polyphenols level, 0.56% caffeine level, 63.43% oxidative activity, and 4.61% total water-soluble material. In the chemical analysis of drinking water, the results obtained were total polyphenol content of 28.1 mg GAE/g, caffeine content of 0.45%, total dissolved solids of 1.87%, and antioxidant activity of 88.79%. Thus, it is also concluded that there is no negative effect of drying coffee leaves with a microwave.
Association Between Black Tea and Coffee Consumption, Socioeconomic Status, and Digestive Disorders: A Case-Control Study
(Editora UFLA, 2025-06-04) Asgharzadeh, Vahid; Mahdavipoor, Behroz; Asgharzadeh, Mohammad; Somi, Mohammad Hossein; Hosseini, Mohammad Reza; Ghazani, Hossein Bari; Ozma, Mahdi Asghari; Rashedi, Jalil; Kohkalani, Moein; Rezaei, Seyyed Amin Seyyed
This study aimed to explore the relationship between black tea and coffee consumption and the prevalence of digestive system disorders in the Azeri population of East Azerbaijan, Iran, while considering the influence of underlying social and economic conditions. A case-control study involved 186 patients diagnosed with digestive system disorders and 185 healthy controls. Data were collected via questionnaires that assessed demographic factors, black tea and coffee consumption habits, water intake, and socioeconomic status. We used a rapid urease test to detect Helicobacter pylori infection in the patients. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test, with a p-value less than 0.05 as statistically significant. Black tea and coffee consumption was significantly higher in the patients than in the healthy controls (p < 0.05). Patients also had lower levels of education and financial status. Daily water intake was significantly lower in patients, while consumption of liquids with meals was higher (p < 0.05). Additionally, patients who consumed black tea and coffee after meals had a higher prevalence of digestive disorders. High consumption of black tea and coffee is associated with an increased risk of digestive system disorders, especially among individuals with lower socioeconomic status. These findings suggest that dietary habits, along with underlying social and economic conditions, should be considered when managing digestive health, especially in populations with high black tea and coffee consumption.
Agricultural Practices, Climate Resilience, and Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Coffee Value and Productivity in Vietnam
(Editora UFLA, 2025-05-20) Trung, Ha Quang; Tu, Le Minh; Quang, Luong Hong
This study examines the factors affecting coffee value and yield among farming households in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Utilizing data from the Vietnam Household Agriculture Research Survey and applying ordinary least squares regression, we examine how key variables such as Arabica cultivation, organic certification, input costs, labor, household characteristics, infrastructure access, and climate resilience impact coffee productivity and profitability. The results indicate that increasing the proportion of Arabica coffee significantly enhances both coffee value and yield. Efficient management of economic inputs, particularly irrigation and pesticide use, is found to be crucial in boosting productivity. Household characteristics, including education level and social organization membership, also positively impact coffee yield and profitability, reflecting the role of knowledge dissemination and community engagement. Conversely, high labor costs and remote farm locations negatively affect coffee productivity, while drought events significantly reduce coffee value, highlighting the vulnerability of coffee production to climate change. The findings provide empirical support for policy interventions aimed at strengthening Vietnam’s coffee sector through infrastructure investment, climate adaptation strategies, and the promotion of diversified coffee varieties. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of balancing economic inputs with sustainable farming practices to enhance both environmental and financial resilience.
