Franz Kafka: Coffee Achiever? (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„If it weren’t for black coffee Montly wouldn’t keep me for a minute. I simply don’t know how I would get on in the shop if I didn’t have a big bottle like this under the counter, for I’ve never dared to risk stopping the coffee-drinking[.]" Kafka never visited the United States, but from this scene in Amerika, it is clear that Kafka foresaw an All-American type of student, a workaholic and caffeine-driven busybody. The student drinks the coffee not for the love of it, but as a drug to keep himself fueled in a 24/7 cycle of activity. A 21st century U.S. university campus, with a top-notch coffee vendor and students caffeinated into the wee hours of the morning, would probably not surprise Kafka.“

CRS Fair Trade (#)

„Fair Trade is designed to counter these trends by paying producers a fair price, ensuring that they work under conditions worthy of their human dignity, encouraging ecologically sustainable production techniques, and by connecting us directly with the producers overseas who create the items we consume here in the United States. But Fair Trade is still a miniscule part of the world trading system—the Fair Trade Federation estimates Fair Trade's global market share at one one-hundredth of one percent! Lasting solutions to economic injustice require changing the rules that govern international trade so that the system works for the world's poor.“

Global Exchange : mutvitz.html (#)

„Autonomous cooperative members find themselves under constant attack by state and federal government forces. Since early 1995, beginning with the military invasion in the Lacandon and continuing with the on-going counter-insurgency warfare now underway in many areas of the Jungle and Highlands regions, organizations autonomous of the official party line and their physical structures suffer recurring attacks. This has created a variety of serious, unexpected obstacles to any kind of consistent development plans in the communities. However, the members have not been dissuaded from their organizational nor economic goals.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„As I approach Ruby’s, the sun begins to edge over the horizon of the shop’s roof. I enter under magnetic poetry affixed to the front door that reads, “Mother I believe you were a whisper of blue and yellow light.” The interior of Ruby’s is a single room split by a counter. Customer seating consists of a mere seven stools lined along a large window and against the counter. Already, Ruby’s owner Shirley Choy is hard at work, her dexterous hands busily grinding beans and boiling water for the day’s coffee.“

Tea & Coffee 05/04 - Espresso Carts that Work for You (#)

„The refrigerator should be of ample size to store your daily milk supply and capable of maintaining its temperature on busy and/ or warm days. Many UCR’s (under counter refrigerator) available are simply not designed to be in the tight confines of an espresso cart, which offers little ventilation for both intake and exhaust. Either "cold wall" construction or "full front breathing" refrigerators will provide the most efficient and reliable service. The sink should have two compartments and be easy to use and accessible for a busy barista.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Machines and Grinders, WEGA Lyra / Mininova Brew Pressure Adjustments (#)

„ Recently mine began backing up for the first time since it was installed in June.  I found that there was a low point in the drain line where the line drooped down under the counter on its way to the sink drain.  Crud had collected at this low point and slowed the flow to a trickle, and it backed up while I was backflushing my machine with Purocaf.  I rearranged the drain line to eliminate the low point and flushed a tsp.“

Amazon.com: Books: Building Traditional Kitchen Cabinets (#)

„True no one book can give you it all. For example, I noticed when I installed a Dishwasher, into my existing kitchen, that it snugged in perfectly, both under the counter, and between the sections. Had it been one eighth of an inch smaller, it wouldn't have gone in. From that I realized that their must be standard dimensions in the industry.“

CoffeeGeek - Isomac Rituale - Mark Hapner's Review (#)

„The machine fits well under the counter and it is very convenient to have it plumbed into the icemaker water line feed from an R/O water filter. The John Guest fittings that came with the pre-installed plumb-in option were a joy to work with. I had the machine connected within 30 minutes of starting.“

Tea & Coffee 04/03 - BARISTA PRIMER I (#)

„It should not be next to any other product that may taint its flavor. If you store your coffee under the counter next to your cleaning products, there will be a good chance that tomorrow’s special is going to be the Windex Latte!“
