Daily Shot Of Coffee Blog Your Coffee Blog | Coffee Reviews, Coffee Product Reviews, Coffee Tips And More
Every week, I try to do a round up of my favorite coffee related blog posts that I’ve read in the past seven days or so. This week’s round up of the coffee blogosphere probably raises as many questions as it answers. Enjoy!
Espresso News And Reviews: Are we at the end of a coffee Golden Age?
The Shot suggests that the signs are all pointing towards the end of the current specialty coffee renaissance. Jim Seven makes a similar dreary argument about specialty coffee. What do you see for the future?
Daily Demitasse: How To Easily Learn Coffee Tasting
Jennifer breaks it down, into a simple easy to do guide to tasting coffee. No excuses now!
Sprduge: SCAA 2011: A First Look At Coffee Joulies
Not too long ago a reader asked me about Coffee Joulies, coffee bean shaped, Cadbury Egg sized, nickel plated copper (and now stainless steel) doo-dads designed to keep coffee warm for up to five hours. I don’t know much about the product, but after Sprudge gave it a thumbs up, I’d say I’m starting to get more and more interested.

Interesting reads as always Mike… Where do you get the time to read all these articles!!!
I still can’t get my head around the Coffee Joulies idea – dropping anything into my coffee that contains “an interior mystery material”… Hmmm
Maybe when they send me some to try out I might change my mind! Hahaha
I have my clone read them, then summarize them for me! I wish, just a lot of coffee!
I love the idea of the Joulies. Now that someone in the specialty coffee scene has tried them, it’ll be interesting to see their popularity grow and how coffee companies incorporate them the rest of the year.
All businesses must innovate to stay ahead and succeed. The same goes for specialty coffee so of course people will copycat, but the most successful are always onto the next big thing.
As far as Jim Seven’s argument, the issue of educating farmers about higher quality crops and paying for a reasonable compensation is needed. Prices go up on everything. You pay more for quality. It’s life.
P.S. Thanks for mentioning my coffee tasting post. [_]D
My pleasure! Great article!
The end of the coffee golden age was a very interesting read! I always find it interesting to read about the varying ideas and opinions when it comes to drinking coffee and “educating the consumer”.
Me too.I could probably write a blog post about it, a rather long one some time.
