Coffee News Roundup
Today is February 14th, and a glance at my Instagram feed would seem to tell us that it’s Valentine’s Day. Lots of hearts-in-latte-art photos (guilty as charged) and promo codes like LOVE1. Possibly my least favorite part of running social media for a coffee company was the holiday
Coffee News Roundup
It’s that time of the week again, Friday heaving into view like a listing schooner taking on water. I have no idea what that means, I was just thinking about ships. Let’s look at this week’s coffee news, shall we? JAB's $3.3 Billion Coffee

Hello and welcome to this week’s Coffee News Roundup, brought to you by the song Seasons (Waiting For You) by Future Islands that has been circulating imperiously around my head for the past 48 hours. Yes, I realize I’m five years late to it, but that’s about

Hello and welcome to another Coffee News Roundup, coming to you from a small town in western New York state, where I am spending the weekend. Due to this fact, and the spotty internet connection, this week’s Roundup will be a truncated one. Let’s see what’s been
Coffee News Roundup
Today is Friday 13th. It’s also the day after the UK election, which feels apt. Yesterday was a pretty bad (classic British understatement there) but at least the Scottish National Party gained more seats (way to go, Aberdeen South!) and put the question of another independence referendum back on
Coffee News Roundup
Hello and welcome to the end of yet another week, and somehow we’re already into December. Not sure how that happened. Well there’s no going back now, so we might as well take a look at this week’s coffee news. Synesso Acquired By The Middleby Corporation -
