View entire thread: Anyone feature a Tea Room or Tea service in your store?
Posted by AJPRATT on 2007-06-30 12:02:58 Post Subject: Anyone feature a Tea Room or Tea service in your store?
I have been doing some research on adding a small tea room to my coffee store. I originally had the thought of creating a space to rent out for meetings. As a member of different service oranizations, I know the challenge in finding a meeting place for small groups. Restaurants want to charge a small fortune. I thought I could install some cabinets and still use the space for some storage. I thought I could also use the space for tea parties. What are your thoughts?

View entire thread: Can Caffeine Have A Reverse Effect
Posted by Luvs Lattes on 2008-07-07 19:52:42 Post Subject:
I do not drink pop or any other beverage with caffeine, and have two cups a day, most often in the morning and sometimes just before bed and I sleep really well.
When I'm at friends places and they make coffee (store brands such as Folgers, MJB, Edwards, Maxwell House) I really feel like having a nap after one cup and do fall asleep if I have two.

View entire thread: Canadian shop called Second Cup coffee beans .... opinions?
Posted by coffeenut on 2004-09-30 11:43:12 Post Subject: Canadian shop called Second Cup coffee beans .... opinions?
For all Canadian "coffee nuts", I would like to know if anyone is using coffee beans from SECOND CUP coffee store? I use an Arabica bean that they have called "PARADISO" (black & brown beans), and I find it quite good. It seems to be the right amount of caffeine for me. Any Canadian out there buying coffee from this store? If so, any opinions?

View entire thread: New Coffee Shop AND Starbucks is coming to town
Posted by pma1960 on 2004-01-30 21:13:43 Post Subject: New Coffee Shop AND Starbucks is coming to town
Looking for opinions. I have been working a plan for about 6 months on a coffee store.. Lease is about to be exectued, financing is in place, store layout is done (its 1843 sq ft - a little to much space but maybe space for roasting in the future). Its on the going to work side of the road and is in a high traffic area.
I have just learned that a starbucks is coming to town within a 1/2 mile of this location. Standalone retail, not a barnes and noble kind of setup. The SB location is NOT on the going to work side of the highway is not on the frontage road, but offset.
My store is concept is Tuscany meets California, wi-fi (free), deserts, relaxed and bright. Comfortable, but not cozy.
I would think SB coming to town validates all my demographic and market research. I think I can compete effectively, but maybe thats my heart thinking and not my head.
To Quote the Clash ...... 'Should I stay or should I go now'?

Always remember the old saying pinellasperk....you get what you pay for. Hey By the way...coffelover was wondering about barnies santas white christmas...seeing that you live near Countryside mall thought you might have drank it before...I don't drink flavor so I cant give a good opinion.
No I haven't tried it, although it sounded pretty good. I try to avoid the malls like the plague, especially once the snowbirds get here. I do like flavored coffee a couple times a week, but I got a bunch of different ones from Boca Java, and will probably be drinking those for the rest of the fall. Usually I like to drink kona (not blends), even if some people think it is passe, to me it is still one of the best coffees available.
If you live in the area, you might want to check out "Wholly Grounds" on CR-1, nice store and knowledgable owner (I have no connection with that or any coffee store btw).

View entire thread: Keurig Coffee Maker - New and Easy To Use!
Posted by Mathazar on 2004-12-26 12:43:13 Post Subject: Keurig Coffee Maker - New and Easy To Use!
I'm new here, I found this forum in a coffee search, this looks like a great place to hang-out and discuss coffee-related topics.
One such topic I want to discuss is my Brand New Keurig Coffee Maker.
This Has GOT to be the EASIEST coffee maker on the planet to use. The coffee is perfectly ground and housed in small plastic containers, called K-Cups. What you do, is take a K-Cup, lift the lever of the K-Cup Holder, insert a K-Cup in the holder, lower the lever (so as to puncture the K-Cup), on the digital display you have the choice between a 5 oz or 8 oz cup, make your choice by pushing the black button under the specific size cup that you want, and then the brewer does the rest. Within 40 seconds you'll have a PERFECT cup of coffee. After your coffee is made, the water reservoir refills the equivalent of 8 oz of water into the heated tank for your next cup of coffee. The water is heated to the proper temperature every time. The water reservoir, which is seated on the left side of the machine in a plastic container, will hold approximately 5 cups of water. I use bottled Spring water. Every 6 months, it's reccommended that you de-scale the coffee machine. The digital display will let you know as to when you need to de-scale. And the procedure for de-scaling is very easy. You simply fill the water reservoir with White Vinegar, and then run the machine like you would if you were making an 8 oz cup of coffee, and just run it thru it's cycle until all the vinegar is gone. Simply toss the used vinegar into your sink. When all the vinegar is gone, fill the water reservoir with fresh water and let it sit for 30 minutes, then run the coffee machine thru it's cycles again to clean out any remaining vinegar. And that's it, that's the extent of maintenance you have to do on the machine.
Keurig has partnered-up with several coffee roasters to make their K-Cups: Green Mountain, Diedrich's, Van Houtte, Timothy's, and Gloria Jean's.
Like I said, this has GOT to be the EASIEST coffee maker you'll EVER use. You can forget about driving over to the coffee store, grinding your beans, measuring the proper amount, waiting for your pot to make the coffee, or even having to drink a WHOLE pot of the same coffee.
With K-Cups, you choose which coffee flavor you want, when you want it. There's 70 different varieties of coffee.
Go to www.Keurig.com for more information, to watch the demo, and to place your order.
Because of the Christmas rush, it took my Keurig 6 days to arrive, and I ordered 2-Day Express Delivery.
By the way, NO, I DO NOT WORK FOR KEURIG!!!!
I'm simply a VERY satisfied customer

"a new roommate just moved in, i tried to offer him coffee with milk in it and he kinda freaked out, i dont know any alternatives to milk and he says he donsent like soy products so if any one can help me that would be cool "
D-Man,
Your local grocery store should have a milk in a carton called Lactaid, or be marked "For lactose intolerance". My Mom can't eat ice cream or drink milk, but she CAN drink the Lactaid Milk.
I've tried it, and used it in desserts and recipies that call for a lot of milk (Like FLAN, Mexican Custard) and you cannot taste the difference! I just got a cheap espresso machine (Mr. Coffee) and made my first Soy Mocha tonight...< Soy milk (I quite like the taste), Espresso, and Hershey's choc. syrup>... and all I can say is "There goes my $4 a day over priced coffee store habit, Yipeeeeeeeee".
Good luck with your new roomie!

Was in the Westminster, California mall today and spotted Gloria Jean's Cofee store but was in too much of a rush to check it out. How is Gloria Jeans, seems on google I find a big .au site and also their .com trailing under it. Any history on this gourmet coffee, has it been around long in the United States?
Is it also a coffee shop or just a coffee store? This is the first I've seen this name around but from their site it seems to have settled in malls throughout the states.
