Tea & Coffee 01/04 - Working at Starbucks: More Than Just Pouring Coffee (#)

  „One of the great things about being a Starbucks partner is that you are able to educate your customers about coffee beans, the variations of beans, and the terminology used to describe them. It is important to the company to have their customers appreciate the natural flavor of their coffee and, more importantly, sell beans to customers who value the taste of a great cup of Joe.“

A World of Flavor (INeedCoffee.com)

  „The roast of the beans will be a major factor in the taste of your coffee. French Roast and many Starbucks coffees are made of beans that have been roasted to a dark color, giving the coffee an intense taste. It is a roaster’s task to bring out a bean’s characteristics through an appropriate roast level.“

It's All About Coffee

  „The tasting session -- which included 40 different coffees -- was part of a pilot program Starbucks started last summer to improve the quality of coffee beans grown on Mexican farms. The program already has paid for technology improvements at cupping and milling facilities in Oaxaca.“

CoffeeGeek - Members: Buy, Sell and Trade, Need empty coffee bags...

  „Does anyone know where I can find empty Starbucks coffee bags? I want to make some purses and totes for myself like in this picture but I cannot seem to use up enough beans fast enough to get all the materials I need. If anyone wants to send me their used up foil starbucks bean bags that they would just throw away anyway that would be cool.“

Global Exchange : Coffee is grounds for initiative

  „So Young and his allies are asking voters next month to force the 350 or so Starbucks, Peet's and other restaurants and coffee bars that sell brewed coffee here to only use beans that are either grown organically, in the shade, and/or are cultivated by farmers who receive "fair-trade" value for their products. It would be the first law of its kind in the nation.“

CoffeeGeek - Regional: United States Central, North Texas Espresso Shops

  „While Torrefazione wasn't as good as a local shop with fresh roasted beans, it was definitely a cut above Starbucks for espresso and atmosphere.  And, since there is no locally owned espresso shop in Dallas, it was the best espresso in Dallas.“
