Coffee News Roundup
Hello and welcome to another Friday, and therefore to another Coffee News Roundup. This week’s article will be themed, due to the thing that’s happening. In related news, it is incredibly difficult to not touch one’s face after being told not to touch one’s face. Right.

My current day job involves doing marketing for a film festival here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This one, to be precise. I’ve done it for a couple of years, and it’s a lot of fun, but we’re doing an event next week as a sort of hors

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

Hello and welcome to a brand new year. It’s… it’s not started well, has it? However, with geopolitics and the very future of the livable planet out of our control, we might as well look at the things within it—specifically, coffee news. After last week’s 2019
Coffee News Roundup
Hello and welcome to the final Coffee News Roundup of 2019. Last year, due to traveling back from Scotland and being hugely jet-lagged, I phoned in the final Roundup by simply rehashing some of the stupidest, most pointless and/or funniest coffee stories from the preceding twelve months. This year,
