Coffee News Roundup
Hello and welcome to another Coffee News Roundup, brought to you by the mixed emotions of seeing Scotland qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 21 years (hope, pride) and then narrowly lose their first two games (despondency, resignation). But let’s take a look at this

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Coffee News Roundup, your weekly reminder that the world is a strange and petty place. From lawsuits to bad business decisions to thinking that coffee and Coca-Cola go together, the coffee industry is a non-stop soap opera of eccentricity and capriciousness. Although

We start this week with some shameless self-promotion. Today marks the end of my current job (see you next year, Cinetopia) and the beginning of my attempt to become a freelance coffee writer. As you may have seen, I’ve been writing for places like Sprudge for a couple of
Coffee News Roundup
OK world, what’s in the coffee news this week? Did another coffee company go public with less than impressive results? Did another coffee company get wrapped up in trademark litigation? Did another multinational conglomerate try to disguise PR as charity? They did? Wow, time really is a circle. So

It’s a rainy spring week here in Michigan, as Easter approaches (I’d forgotten) and my soccer rec league begins (I’m so unfit). In terms of coffee there’s not a whole lot going on, as the industry exhales after last weekend’s Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston.

Another week is over, another weekend begins. The big annual coffee expo is underway in Boston, at least according to my Twitter feed. Here in the Midwest, well, nothing much is underway. Open mics and karaoke, I suppose. There are lots of good articles in the What To Read section
Coffee News Roundup
Spring has finally sprung here in southeast Michigan, which means this weekend coffee shops around the region will be inundated with smug people wearing shorts and sandles even though it’s only 55 degrees outside. As a conscientious former barista, I will not be adding to the throng, and will

Some weeks, there is very little coffee news—or at least, any coffee news worth writing about. I spend most of my time figuring out how to wring the last drops of interest out of stories about the latest Krispy Kreme-flavored coffee disaster or something. Other weeks, however, it’s
