„Additionally, the Wild Oats fresh brewed coffee sold in the stores' Juice and Java bars will feature these high-quality coffees, which have been carefully taste-tested for their superb quality. Prior to the launch of the new program, Wild Oats staff will receive training to learn how to make the best-tasting cup of coffee and to help educate customers about the benefits of double-certified organic and Fair Trade coffee. Prior to the November implementation, Green Mountain will install new bulk bin displays in stores that feature information to help consumers understand the importance of Fair Trade coffee and what it means to the coffee farmers. "With a global coffee crisis upon us and coffee prices at 100-year lows, we believe that, as a food company, it is our responsibility to do our part to make a difference in coffee producing communities," said Perry Odak, President and CEO of Wild Oats Markets, Inc.“

The many methods of brewing coffee - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„For about $78, this coffee pot will brew coffee in the morning at a programmed time setting. It features an adjustable hot plate, a small batch setting to make less coffee and a "brew strength control" that promises to manipulate how strong the flavor will be. But coffee gourmets say the convenience and frills such as paper filters, hot plates and tepid water dilute the taste of the brew. "Paper filters trap all of the sediment, but all of the oil as well," says Alan Hilowitz of Starbucks Coffee.“

The few ideas to achieve greatness can be divided according to three variables: how hot you make the water; how you get the water to the coffee; and how you separate the spent grounds from the brewed coffee.“

Making Coffee Soap (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„This two-page tutorial shows you how to make coffee soap, which is a delightful gift to add to a coffee gift basket, and it’s one way to recycle some used coffee grounds. It’s not too hard, but making soap from scratch isn’t child's play, either. Hard soap requires lye, which is a poisonous, caustic substance.“
