- Long available for wine, coffee now gets its own: Espresso Parts is carrying the Le Nez du Cafe (The Scent of Coffee) Revalation Kit: 36 scents and a booklet designed to introduce and train your palet to recognize the most common aromas found in coffee. A coffee nerd’s wet dream. Christmas gift, anyone?
- A self-described “serial gadget” at The Washington Post gives the Clever Dripper cone a thumbs up. They’re the new thing. I’m carving out a little shelf space, myself, for one of these. Now, if Sweet Maria’s can just keep up with demand.

- The Wall Street Journal talks coffee in Asia. Seemingly well researched – at least from a socio-economic-historical perspective – but I don’t think I would call Sumatra an obscure coffee growing region. Taiwan (I had no idea), Cuba? Sure, they’d qualify as relatively obscure in my book. Not Sumatra. Via theshot.coffeeratings.com
- The Shot cuts through the cruft of those absurd Illy/Starbucks rumors: “Anytime someone tries to sell coffee in this country, the knee-jerk media presumption is that they’re going to ‘Take On Starbucks’™”.
- And you thought the “house of mermaid” invented the frou-frou espresso beverage.

- Capresso Infinity Grinder – The reviews on CoffeeGeek, of the grinder here in "The Lab" at DofA world headquarters. Never has there been a day I've regretted the purchase.
- Homeroasting Heretic: Robusta Resolution – Adding to the robusta brouhaha, another proclamation from Coffee Hero on the bean that everyone loves to hate.
- Sincerely, San Francisco – From CleanHotDry. A beautiful photo-essay on a 'spro trip to San Francisco. Via MsC (manseekingcoffee.wordpress.com/)

- Peet’s Coffee buying Diedrich Coffee for $213M – Peet's, in their latest attempt at out-starbucking Starbucks, buys Diedrich and, so, is now in business of making little, tiny, foil-wrapped pouches filled with stale coffee grounds. In other news, Alfred Peet rolls over in grave … twice.

- Man Seeking Coffee 2.0 – One of my favorite coffee blogs is about to go into the shop for a bit of a tune-up.
Coffee maps
Slowly but surely I am building a cartographic database of all the cafés, roasters and, maybe, other coffee related locations that I’ve either been to myself or would like go to soon. Presenting … Coffee maps:

- Architecture Food = Stable Cafe – What I knew: a café in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood with decent, if sometimes, incosistent, coffee and good food at respectable prices. What I didn't: An architecture firm, mult-use space and commisary kitchen for food-related businesses.

- Eat. Drink. Blog. – "No one cares what you had for lunch"? Find a new place to eat. It's my food blog: "Eat. Drink. Blog." Bring a bib. ("No one cares…"? What?…http://www.mightygirl.net/about/)

- Journalism and coffee – The first post on James Hoffman's new blog devoted to "decent length, well thought out articles about coffee". James Hoffman is the owner of Square Mile Coffee Roasters in London, England.
- Distribution of Coffee flowchart – This is fascinating. Originally published in 1961 in "Coffee" by Frederick Wellman and now posted, for our pleasure, in the Flickr photostream of James Hoffman (of Square Mile Coffee Roasters in London), this flow chart illustrates the historical-geographical movement of the practice of cultivating coffee. It starts, in Ethiopia, at around 575 A.D. and ends in Hawaii in 1893.
