Great collection of coffee news and tidbits Mike! Thanks for sharing, and I really appreciate the mention. I wish I was at the SCAA event in Anaheim, maybe we can hit it together next year in Houston?

Thanks for stopping by. It looks like you have a blog that I’ll have to keep checking out over there.
despite my love for coffee fresh and my wifes love of same,
we both carry Starbucks Via with us and in the car when
we travel. for some reason, it seems to make a decent
urgent cup need in the most ouf of the way locales.
if i was in charge of Starbucks, i’d just keep making
it ‘BETTER’ and not screw with something as successful
as this seems to be.
did my wife hear anything about ‘flavored Via’?
there’s Charlies 2nd billion market.
That’s not a bad idea for coffee when traveling. I’m planning to pick some up for a conference where I have a feeling the hotel coffee is going to be subpar.
I haven’t heard about any flavor versions of it, but I bet you’re right and that it would do great.
