Coffee or Terror?

I found this pretty interesting. The majority shareholder in Caribou coffee makes investments in a manner consistent with the body of Islamic principles known as Shari'ah and consequently I am in the question as to whether or not Caribou operates in a manner with Shari'ah principles. Furthermore, Caribou Coffee encountered a lot of negative publicity back in 2002. In an article that was posted on politicalusa.com, it was asserted that Caribou Coffee was tied to the Muslim brotherhood, the Muslim…

Just added two videos

One of goals before the end of the year was to clear my hard drive video camera to make room for some more clips in 2008. I came across some clips that were taken in Mexico and Boston this year. Could not resist in putting these together for the two videos I just posted.

In any event Happy New Year! With everyone's help next year I can see 25,000 new sign ups to participant in About Coffee. Just keep on inviting your family, friends, business associates, competitors, contacts in your ad…

T'was the night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all round my hips
were Fannie May candies that sneaked past my lips.
Fudge brownies were stored in the freezer with care
in hopes that my thighs would forget they were there.

While Mama in her girdle and I in chin straps
had just settled down to sugar-borne naps.
When out in the pantry there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash
tore…

Are their certain goals for this forum? any particular niche to fill or any particular group you're looking to engage that's a little different than CG or alt coffee?

Personally, I tend to approach my coffee much more as Art than science. While I do appreciate all the tricks that some machines will do and I do enjoy a good graph sometimes or statistics; for me its my nose, my eyes, and my ears that really do the work. To me coffee is Art. It's a lot more like music or any other ephemeral experience than say, being able to disassemble an engine to see what makes it go.

I do think the format of About Coffee is very good!
Is the creation of this site more about an improved interface? or more about reaching a different kind of coffeehead than other sites currently do?

What are the plans for it?

Starbucks opens its first 'un-Starbucks' store, 15th Ave Coffee & Tea

At 6:00 am on Friday, the doors opened to Starbucks first “un-Starbucks” store on Capitol Hill in Seattle. It’s called 15th Ave Coffee & Tea and upon first glance, you would never know it was a Starbucks. There isn’t a green siren logo to be found anywhere. The only thing giving away the true identity of the corporate owner are the words “inspired by Starbucks” strategically placed around the

Idle thoughts... from an idle mind

Did you know?
Costa Rica is the only country in the world which has issued an executive order banning the production of any variety of coffee other than Arabica. This standard is made possible by the expertise, experience and favorable physical conditions found in this remarkable land.
I'm going to Costa Rica soon!

Computers and coffee roasting do NOT mix. How many burnt batches of coffee before I follow that rule?
