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 [...] Related posts:

1. What Does It Mean That Starbucks Has Gone Instant?

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.

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, [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/coffee-and-your-liver/feed/ 1 http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/global-coffee-prices-and-is-fair-trade-fair/ http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/global-coffee-prices-and-is-fair-trade-fair/#comments Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:55:47 +0000 admin http://www.getin2coffee.com/?p=87 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 [...] Related posts:

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 [...] Related posts:

1. Someone Had To Do It – The Starbucks Instant Taste Test.

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 [...] Related posts:

1. Rwanda Boosts Coffee Growing Even More

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 [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/coffee-wars/feed/ 0 http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/designer-printer-uses-coffee-ink/ http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/designer-printer-uses-coffee-ink/#comments Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:40:11 +0000 admin http://www.getin2coffee.com/?p=49

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 – [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/designer-printer-uses-coffee-ink/feed/ 0 http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/rwanda-boosts-coffee-growing-even-more/ http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/rwanda-boosts-coffee-growing-even-more/#comments Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:46:12 +0000 admin http://www.getin2coffee.com/?p=43 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.
