Global Exchange : Activist Network (#)

  „"I started talking with TransFair in November, 2002, and then started making presentations to classes and teachers about my idea and they were very supportive," Benford says. "We got some student signings to say they wanted it, and I was able to leverage that with foodservice." By March, 2003, MIIS was offering two fair trade and organic blends (French Roast and Guatemalan) from Berkeley coffee roaster Uncommon Grounds; Benford's goals included using a local supplier. In addition, MIIS chose organic Big Sur Blend; all proceeds from sales of this coffee go to a conservation easement in Big Sur, California. The same roaster provided organic tea after students expressed interest.“

CoffeeGeek - How to review Domestic Espresso Machines

  „This will probably be the last column I’ll do before the end of November this year. I’m off to HOST 2003 in Milan in mid-November, the humongous Italian trade show where EVERY Italian espresso machine manufacturer is represented, especially the domestic ones. It won’t be much fun (fly 2 days, show 2 days, fly back 2 days) but it will give me the opportunity to preview the best gear coming out of Italy in 2004!“

Amazon.com: Books: Making the Perfect Pitch: How to Catch a Literary Agent's Eye

  „I have been writing for a living for nearly ten years and don't often read how-to books. But Sands' keen insights and her no-nonsense but supportive voice gave me a bracing shot of career espresso. It is now on my work shelf next to the other tools of my trade: a twelve ounce coffee cup and Roget's Thesaurus.“

Hawaii Coffee Association

  „Possibility of creating classes to educate the public about various coffee topics including general coffee topics and specific topics about Hawaiian coffee. Another possibility is to have a barista competition. Also looking into culinary schools to educate about Hawaiian coffees. The desire is to look at ways to promote Hawaiian coffees on the mainland.“
