Sunday Morning Coffee
croptocup
Jackie and Jennifer were having a delicious cup of brew and chatting on a nice Sunday morning. So the desire to record hit. Thanks to the ease of BlogTalkRadio we were able to put a show out.

• A good friend of the show, Michael De Leon, sent us a link to the site, “Death by Caffeine”. We discover just how much caffeine it would take to kill Jennifer.
• Starbucks has created their own unique “soluble” version of instant coffee which will come out on March 3rd.
• We really like the Crop to Cup concept of creating a closer and more intimate connection between the farmer growing the beans and the coffee in our cups.

Morning BrewCast We hear from Charles Cadenhead of Mostly News and Desperate Husbands. Charles has some coffee bean roaster questions, offers us a helpful tech tip in regards to our new Grand Central Number 210.880.GALS (4257) and gives us a detailed explanation about the difference between basements and root cellars. Thanks so much Charles for your audio comments. Be sure and check out his shows. We find them both informative and entertaining!

Jackie has some news about a coffee cup recall from Starbucks.

There is also a report out that puts the Coffee Gals in a group of older affluent consumers. Does this mean snooty times ahead?
