We reported previously on the concept of a ‘suspended coffee’ and what a great idea it is.
It seems that we are not the only ones to applaud this idea, as it is taking off all over the place.
There has been a report in the Newham Recorder, for instance, that the first coffee shop to adopt the scheme is about to be kickstarted in London too.
So what’s the ‘suspended coffee’ idea exactly?
Hands up if you would like to lose a pound or two?
Or three?
Or a stone?
It’s that time of year again: worldwide, baristas are flexing their coffee-making muscles in a bid to become their nation’s champion.
As well as winning the title of best-in-their-country, this also helps to choose the contenders for the World Barista Championships.
This year, the global championships are to take place in Melbourne in May.
So which is your favourite video clip online which has gone viral?
For me, I’m rather tickled by the famous dog-chasing-deers-in-the-park episode, with the frantic dog-owner running helplessly after his errant hound in Richmond Park in London, shouting ‘Fenton!’
We each have our own, but of late there has been a coffee shop phenomenon which has gone viral.
Given the huge love of coffee worldwide (the coffee industry is a significant player on the global markets), it is not really surprising that there are many studies underway to work out how the caffeine elixir affects us and our bodies.
One of the key stories at the moment, for instance, is the suggestion that green coffee may be good for weight loss.
However, there is also a suggestion that coffee is of benefit for those who might suffer a stroke.
If you did a poll survey to see how people thought they could make money out of coffee, what do you think the top answers would be?
Perhaps they would say that picking the coffee berries, roasting them and selling them as a coffee blend is the top answer.
It may well be a very literal interpretation of the question.
Coffee shops are significantly more important and prevalent on our high streets and in our lives than a few years ago.
They are a popular meeting place socially, for networking and, increasingly, for working too.
But what do we think about the use of a coffee shop as a sort of workplace?
It’s ironic, isn’t it?
Africa is a continent which has such strong links with the coffee industry and yet there has been an article in All Africa recently, which says that a plan is underway to encourage the locals in Rwanda to drink the stuff.
Is it really only seen as an export product?

When you think about coffee, it is not a necessarily obvious connection to immediately think about cats.
However, there have been a variety of coffee and cat news stories of late.
Interested in hearing about them?
There has been a rather lovely news story about coffee recently.
We all hear about the gloomy and nasty effects of the economic downturn, don’t we?
The redundancies.
The hardships.
