Fresh Brews: Coffee Pranks And Coffee To The Rescue!

I hope everyone is staying warm! It’s pretty chilly, even here in Florida the temperatures are below freezing. I hope you have lots of coffee to keep you warm.

The latest edition of the weekly coffee news round up features everything from funny coffee videos to coffee coming to the rescue of one robbery victim in Illinois. Sure there was other news like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters still trying to buy Diedrich (get over with already or I’ll buy it) and above prediction coffee harvests in Brazil and Costa Rica, but they didn’t make the cut this time.

When people say coffee makes them feel “perky,” this probably isn’t what they mean.

      Yeah, that news about the organic farming is really disheartening, especially after everything that the farmers and workers have been going through. There has to be a better solution.
