Coffee News Roundup
A quick roundup for you this week, as there’s not a lot going on in the coffee world. Meet the new year, same as the old year. Wilbur Curtis Company Acquired By French Groupe SEB - via Sprudge It didn’t take long for the coffee company acquisitions to
Coffee News Roundup
Hello and welcome to 2019. The year Akira, Blade Runner and the Running Man are all set. And honestly, it’s not that big of a stretch to imagine the world turning into those movies by the end of this year. Hell, the techno-futurist apocalypse might already be here, depending
Coffee News Roundup
Hello and welcome to the last Coffee News Roundup of 2018. There is very little news this week, and since I spent Friday flying home from Scotland the rest of the weekend is basically a wash. With that in mind, I thought this would be a good chance to look

Welcome to another week’s end, and with it the Coffee News Roundup. Where, thankfully, there is actual news to report. Barista Guilds of America and Europe Become One Big Barista Guild - via Daily Coffee News Over the past few years, both the US and European versions of the
Coffee News Roundup
Just a quick roundup this week, partly because there’s not much in the way of news, and partly because yesterday I arrived in Scotland and the jet lag is making it hard to concentrate. I slept 13 hours last night. It’s all a bit wrong. I’ll be

Hi. First off, and I know last week’s roundup got a little political, but whatever this my website and I can do what I like: PLEASE VOTE on Tuesday, November 6th. That’s this Tuesday, the one coming up, next week, in four days. It is so, so important
Coffee News Roundup
There’s no getting away from it: this week’s roundup is going to get political. Not by choice, you understand—it’s just the news. Some weeks, it’s all sunshine and lattes: “Starbucks opens new flagship roastery in Azerbaijan” or “This Golden Retriever is a barista now” or
