Mr. Coffee Café Frappe Maker Review ”” The Gadgeteer
[The Gadgeteer] The drink is very frosty and thick at first - rather like a Slurpee. The ice was the consistency of perfectly shaved ice. I didn’t have a single big chunk of ice in my drink. The drink does melt faster than the Starbucks’ version. Mine didn’t completely melt, though. There was still a lot of ice left in my last sip. I would imagine that Starbucks uses some sort of thickening agent to help theirs stay thicker longer. And I should note that this recipe made enough drink to completely fill a 16 oz red plastic cup with a little left over. Starbuck’s says this is 2 servings, but it’s about the size of the grande drink I get at Starbucks.

[Aid Watch] While it's great to hear that Starbucks isn't red-washing or whatever the term might be for it - at least insofar the level of contributions go, that the spokesman would think that "it’s disappointing to read the Professor’s cynicism about NGOs and corporations that attempt to contribute to the crisis of AIDS in Africa," should concern anyone who values the contributions of those like Starbucks. If this is indicative of the lackadaisical attitude and due diligence to donor funds, it does not speak well to their efficacy.

Espresso Glasses
[Petunia Bloom] Yesterday I was still bummed about breaking my espresso shot glasses. Ryan wanted me to run to Starbucks and get him a little afternoon treat. I went to the location on Memorial and 71st. When I went through the drive-through I ordered and then asked if they sold espresso shot glasses. The employee said they would check. When I pulled up to the window, a man peeked his head out holding an espresso shot glass that they use in the store and claimed they didn’t sell any retail but they would sell me some the use in their store. I asked how much, and he said $1 per glass. OMG–First of all, that was the type of glass I wanted in the first place; Second of all, if you are to buy espresso shot glasses anywhere else for retail you are likely to pay around $10. I was so excited!! That is what I should have done in the first place- try to buy them from Starbucks. FYI if you make espresso at home!

Craigslist and Starbucks - natural enemies?
[Greg Yardleys Internet Blog] For whatever reason - I don’t know why - the wireless Internet available at Starbucks will not display Craigslist, an apartment-hunting must. Not on the Upper West Side. Not in Harlem.

Starbucks is Built for Growth
[Rain City Real Estate Guide] I ran across this interesting article on how Starbucks manages their real estate. Corporate real estate is not my usual thing, but I thought the insights were quite interesting and show how important location is to the Starbucks brand. Starbucks is a concept driven as much by real estate as it is by coffee and the coffee experience. These days Starbucks opens at least three new locations a day somewhere in the world. It has taken a lot of real estate to open up 9,000+ Starbucks locations and it will take even more real estate to reach their stated goal of 30,000 global locations. The blog entry quoted above is from a review of Built for Growth by a former EVP of Real Estate with Starbucks. In the book, the author describes how “Starbucks gained market dominance through finding the best real estate locations.” While not surprising, it’s interesting to hear the different ways that location has become an intergral part of Starbucks’ growth...

Coffee, Caffeine & Fitness
[All the recipes youll ever need in one place!] Before you make Starbucks part of your pre-workout warm-up in order to harness the effects of caffeine, be aware that simply downing a grande may not give you similar benefits found in these studies. A recent Canadian study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology compared the effect of coffee and caffeine on run time to exhaustion. A group of nine men took part in five trials.

Institutionalizing Repeatable great customer service
[Emergence Marketing] Let's try to find a better word than "institutionalizing." Agreed, though about Starbucks - yesterday I saw one employee training two other employees. They were being "assigned" to observe the baristas at work and take notes...Do you know their recruitment campaign invites people to "create the experience." You are right - their strategy is very deliberate and they hire people who are more likely to deliver great service vs. those who would require "institutionalizing." (See some of my posts re Sheraton which makes employees repeat a service promise vs.
