Virtual Coffee: The Espresso Drive-thru and its Place in the Specialty Coffee Industry ()

  „While Starbucks, Java City, Second Cup and other in-line retailers are filling the American landscape with espresso cafes, a relatively new and growing distribution channel for specialty coffee is making its presence known: The espresso drive-thru. What started in the Northwest in small sheds bought at the home improvement store, is evolving into one of the industry’s fastest growing service-delivery models. The expansion of drive-thru operations southward into California and eastward across the country has sparked curiosity in the minds of business owners and consumers alike.“

Tips on Coffee - The Coffee Book: Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop Tips on Coffee - The Coffee Book: Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop

  „Jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary, The Coffee Book covers coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the 6th century A.D. to the dramatic rise of Starbucks and other specialty retailers in the 1990s. Written with verve and filled with little-known facts, the book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of caf society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to Renaissance French cafs to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the dramatic story of international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. The book also examines the industry's major players -- General Foods, Nestl, Proctor & Gamble -- revealing how they have systematically reduced the quality of the bean and turned a much-loved product into a lifestyle.“
