Café Quotidien
La MARQUE qui veille aux grains

Café Quotidien (translates as daily coffee) then as now primarily targets professionals.

The motto aludes to the French expression veiller au grain meaning to be careful or alert. It's worth noticing that the advert displays aux grains. The use of the plural form changes the motto in a play on words meaning to keep an eye on the quality of the beans.

I feel that the brand's ranger has a distinct eastern complexion. Could that be an indication about the origin of the coffee?

Mr. Bean

It's the bean that makes the difference!


Mr. Bean allegedly is the jewel in the crown of Tata Coffee, a company with roots in Great Britain where in 1922 Consolidated Coffee Estates Ltd. was established. During the 1940s and 1950s the company gradually evolved to become an Indian company. In the early 1990s Tata Tea Ltd. acquired control and the company was renamed Tata Coffee Ltd in 2000.

Tata Mr. Bean Coffee-Chicory Blend (53% coffee, 47% chicory) is allegedly made with the best mountain grown beans from Tata's own plantations in Kodagu district.

Gramat (Lot, France); 23.XI.2001; pict. A. Guët
This very nice mural came to the light after demolition of an old warehouse.
Alluding to the popular song Au clair de la Lune several brands use a Pierrot with the moon. But in this case I fail to understand the language. Why is the fool offering a cup to the moon?

Another moon was also found in Gramat: the face of Crème Eclipse.

The rhyme says:
The gray-beard calls for it to wet his throttle
On every housewife's table it will be
The infant cries to get it in his bottle
Even the dog loves golden pheasant tea.

VISPAK
zlatna džezva
BOSANSKA KAFA

 
Zlatna džezva or golden pot is a brand of Bosanska Kafa or Bosnian Coffee.

It is a brand of Vispak which was born in 1972 and in 1974 became, according to their website, «the leader in the pro­duction of special ground coffee for catering and espresso coffee».

A džezva is a kind of small copper pot with a long handle and a high neck, like the one shown in the mural. The differ­ence between Bosnian and Turkish coffee is that in Bosnian custom the drinker decides how sweet he wants his coffee. The Turkish way of doing is that the maker of the coffee adds sugar to his taste during the brewing.
