Coming from the “strange but true” department is Weasel Coffee. Available for purchase from ThinkGeek, of all places (currently sold out). Hat tip: Steve Kraus
Big Bean Bags So, I’m not a big coffee drinker…mostly black tea for me. But I did go with coffee this morning and it was delicious. If this were on the label, however, um, I may have had to pass. Is this for real? They’re actually selling coffee with this label? ha! 0 Reply May 26, 2010
Brian Clemens I’ve been told I’m opinionated, so here goes: I will take it a step further than David, Kopi Luwak must die! With that, we in Specialty Coffee must push past customer’s experiences with Kona Coffee, etc. and introduce them to well-sourced coffees from countries around the world. Telling the customer the flavor notes they may experience and giving them a story about the farm owner or farm itself will give the customer a much more desirable experience than just having a “good cup of coffee while on the beach in Hawaii” (Kona). I’m not saying that all Kona is bad; however, I am saying break the “experience factor” of the customer by introducing them to many regions/farms with GREAT coffees. Posts like these and products like this goes to show that their is much work to be done in the coffee industry….back to work! 0 Reply May 28, 2010
Psyd I knew that there was a reason that I liked you, Brian! I think that there should be a single chalkboard for every SO offered, with that story right on it, and an invitation to ask your barista if you have any questions. 0 Reply May 29, 2010
