    Coffee prices going up, inventories depleted (Barron's magzine article)

    If prices really are going up, thought I'd make a quick plug for my friends who are offering a good discount on their coffee site. They're launching a curated online marketplace called Midtown Row in a few weeks, and they're offering $10 credit if you sign-up (Midtown Row - Coming Soon)...

    Worst Hot Coffee in America

    Is it possible to get that in a treinta? :decaf: Worst coffee I had was when I was with an insurance company, and every day, it was Folger's that had sat on the hot plate for 5 hours. Tasted like new asphalt

    Caffeine addiction? How to break the habit

    I've always struggled with this one - I even went through a phase of drinking Coke Zero and Diet Coke to moderate my caffeine intake relative to coffee. Always keep coming back to coffee though. I guess it's moderation, AND timing - no more coffee at night for me (decaf around 5pm at the...
