What was this place's name again? Who am I?" Still, it's funny as shit to see an indie coffee's folks dressing up as zombie Starbucks employees. Absolutely brilliant. I have yet to see somebody take me up on my zombie Smurf idea, but this will do in a pinch. Found via Boing Boing. Categorized as: Coffee

10.31.05 by Widge @ 6:41 pm  The man's name is Winter, and the reason he has that vacant stare is because he's on a mission. That mission? To visit every Starbucks in the world. Read about his adventure here. While we applaud Winter for his maniacal desire to accomplish his goal, we feel it's a bit quixotic for a couple of reasons. First, it's kinda pointless. I mean, I thought the whole problem most people (read "non-coffee drinkers") had with Starbucks is that it's so homogenous. Every Starbucks is just like every other Starbucks. So what's the point in driving thousands of miles for a cup of coffee you could have gotten next door? Categorized as: Coffee

Granted, the machine is a Wittenborg FB7100 and we've never been, to our knowledge, anywhere near one...but it's the principle of the thing, dammit. Found via MAKE Blog and image from our previous Coffee Pirates post because we just dig it. Categorized as: Coffee

09.20.05 by Widge @ 2:39 am As we're taking down the decorations of Talk Like a Pirate Day (though we always talk like pirates in the sub-cockle region of our hearts), Morning Coffee & Afternoon Tea lets us know there's another reason to want to move to New Zealand: Coffee Pirates! Dude has a custom built 4WD PirateMobile that he can show up in to provide "beautiful coffees, teas and hot chocolates" on South Island. Man, coffee and pirates together. What a beautiful concept. If he could fit in some ninjas too, then we'd be interested in a franchise. Categorized as: Coffee

09.08.05 by Widge @ 4:58 pm  Well, we're still playing catchup on the blogosphere after DragonCon, so we missed word that this past Tuesday was National Coffee Ice Cream Day. Damnation. However, that link will take you to Morning Coffee & Afternoon Tea, where there's a plethora of links and recipes and whatnot. Like you're going to need any convincing to celebrate, late or otherwise. Categorized as: Coffee
