Well, at this very moment I'm sitting in the early evening of Colorado's biggest snowstorm in a decade and stuck up the mtn so I settled on a Singletrack Copper Ale from Boulder Beer. As for my mornings tho, I'm working thru a pound of Unseen Bean's Miz Susan's Blend. It's my favorite (and free...

Is there anyway to do a logo or does all the art have to be swirly-based? These look so cool and I'd love to develop a method for our coffee shop to do lattes w/ the logo.

Hi, I'm H in Colorado. Working for a blind coffee roaster has brought me a new-found admiration for the process and the entire industry. I'm helping in the shop as well as writing the blog and doing online work for him. Hello to all on this forum!

The morning headache may be a slight caffeine addiction - but who cares, right? I don't seem to get headaches much from coffee but I do get migraines from time to time. I've been told that caffeine contributes to migraines but my OTC meds that work well have a pretty good dose of it in there...

Anyone working on a site using Magento? I just took over the web and marketing and am not finding Magento very user-friendly. Also, there's only 1 option for a cart and the 1-page checkout does not work very well with screen readers. Does anyone have any suggestions? The owner of the company and...
