Here is a link to some excellent films about coffee ... http://www.espresso101.com/catalog/espresso-videos most of these are produced by Bellissimo. You should also check with the SCAA http://www.scaa.org

From a training point of view you could also try the SCAE. They seel VCD's on basis barista training as well as an Italin video on how to make decorative Lattes.

This 60-minute video is the definitive film chronicling coffee from seed to cup.

Shot in Guatemala, Brazil, Kona and Ethiopia, The The Passionate Harvest takes a detailed look at the inner workings of the diverse processes involved in coffee production, emphasizing the enormous amount of effort and care required to produce quality coffee, and highlighting some of the issues and decision points that affect final cup quality and character.

You can even have monthly/weekly showings of the video in your cafe.

I'm sure it's an excellent video, but the review quotes on the sales site are bizare: One usually doesn't expect to see blurbs from a films producer and director listed as "review" quotes.

I see what you are saying. The two blurbs from the producer and director tell more of why it was produced and what people can expect from the film, I know both put much passion in to this project. I think those two should be in the decriptive section not the review, thanks for the suggestion.

We often will show the film at CoffeeFest and other tradeshows, and the film won a platinum award at the Houston Independent Film Festival the year after it was shot.
