 Image via Wikipedia But it wasn’t us. Sorry. Not going to take that one for the team. But the Sacramento Bee did – sort of. I wish they had done a double-blind test against regular brewed Starbucks, but alas no. The bottom line was that they felt it was better than most instant but not very good [...]  Image via Wikipedia First off, we are not going to pretend that we can tell you what the best cup for drinking coffee is. Only you can do that. But we are going to run down some of the alternatives and discuss them and maybe introduce you to a few alternatives. The 16oz paper cup – made [...]  Image via Wikipedia I’d guess that most people if asked would say that coffee was probably not so great for their liver, maybe not terrible or anything, but not great. WRONG! Turns out, according to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, that coffee is extremely protective of your liver. Of course, if, like me, [...]  Image by Karl O’Brien via Flickr Most people assume, once they look into it, that Fair Trade coffee is a good thing because it guarantees a base level price to coffee growers – and a price that is typically above the base market level. Sounds great, right? And for the most part, it is. But there is [...]  Image via Wikipedia It’s all over the news (well the coffee news) that Starbucks is getting set to launch instant coffee on March 3rd. The new coffee, called Via for no reason that can possibly make sense, is, however, not exactly the same thing as America’s Folgers or Europe’s Nescafe. Starbucks claims that it has spent [...]  Image via Wikipedia Nestor Osorio, Executive Director of the International Coffee Organization, i s concerned that coffee production this year is not going to meet demand – by about 480 million kilos or pretty close to one billion pounds. That led me to an interesting question. How much coffee do we actually drink globally? It turns out [...]  Image via Wikipedia Well, some people are referring to the battle starting up between Starbucks – with its new ‘pairings’ of a latte or tall coffee plus some form of pastry item (surely not one that is selling poorly that it is trying to offload?) for $3.95 – and Caribou Coffee with a temporary price cut [...]  CNET’s crave column is reporting that a Korean designer, Jeon Hwan Ju, has developed a printer concept – presumably for computers – that uses cofee grounds or plain coffee as the ink. Right now, the model is rather manual – you feed the paper and move the print head by hand – but still – [...]  Image by tonx via Flickr In 2008, the Rwanda Coffee Development Authority (Ocir-Cafe) distributed four million coffee tree seedlings to growers in the country in order to boost production and try to meet its ambitious goal of creating $120 million in export receipts by 2011. The plan is to produce 35,000 to 40,000 tonnes of coffee. Despite [...]  Image via Wikipedia In another piece of news about the health benefits of coffee, a Danish study shows that subjects who had reported drinking three to five cups of coffee daily were 65 percent less likely to have developed dementia, compared with those who drank two cups or less.
