BBC NEWS | Politics | Queen receives gift from Cabinet
„Lord Callaghan told the programme: "He said, 'Do you know, you'll hardly believe this, but there is only one coffee pot at Windsor that will serve twelve cups of coffee, and so when we go to Balmoral we have to wrap it up in a bit of newspaper and take it with us. "So Audrey, my wife, bought a very nice silver coffee pot that served twelve cups of coffee." The Queen asked all the Cabinet to the palace for the presentation of the gift and later had their names engraved on the coffee pot.“

„Having discovered Warm Jets and Tiger Mountain some years ago (and enjoyed these albums enormously), I recently decided to dip back into the Eno back catalogue and bought Another Green World and Before and After Science. Without wishing to sound hackneyed, both albums are absolutely sensational and must be owned by everyone. I'm now determined that the rest of my life should be played out to the sound of Brian Eno!!“

„And that's why the American habit of bringing a teacup, a tea bag and a pot of hot water to the table is merely the perfect way of making a thin, pale, watery cup of tea that nobody in their right mind would want to drink. The Americans are all mystified about why the English make such a big thing out of tea because most Americans have never had a good cup of tea. That's why they don't understand. In fact the truth of the matter is that most English people don't know how to make tea any more either, and most people drink cheap instant coffee instead, which is a pity, and gives Americans the impression that the English are just generally clueless about hot stimulants.“

BBC News | Hurricane Mitch | Coffee crops hit by hurricane
„But up to 25% of the crop in Guatemala, the biggest producer, is at risk, while hundreds of thousands of bags of coffee have been destroyed in Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador. Coffee prices may rise because of the hurricaneEstimates of the damage have been hampered by the destruction of transport links, which has meant it has been impossible to reach the plantations to make an assessment. The road damage has also put the remainder of the crop at risk. Continual rain has sped up the ripening of the beans, which will rot if they cannot reach processing mills in time.“
