One cold December morning, I stopped in to have a warm cup of coffee at the Wild Chicken Coffee House in Loomis. It's a cozy little spot where the locals come to drink, talk and use their computers (like they are at Starbucks). I sat in the corner, in a clandestine manner, and drew this scene. Nobody bothered me except for one woman who was looking at me and I thought she thought I was drawing her

I live in Remuera district, sort of the upper eastside of Auckland. Every few days I walk through the strip of shops to see friends; it appears that coffee shops have filled the streets. The Remuera Shopping Center basically consists of two blocks of retailers, neck to neck, and I have counted seven coffee based beverage establishments cramped in this space.As they all operate coffee machines and rental spaces of equivalent caliber, they basically belong in a fair non-cooperative game. The same beverages are available in every one, most notably the “Short/Long Black” for Single/Double Espresso, and “Flat White” for Latte.Did they all simply ignore the little issue of competition? Allow me to break this down into simple figures. With seven of them running simultaneously, any individ
The amazing growth of coffee house franchisesIn recent years the coffee culture in America has exploded, no doubt encouraged by TV programs such as Friends, where the coffee house is the central location for the characters to meet up. Whoever had the initial concept for coffee shop franchises such as Starbucks were onto an immediate winner.The coffee makers in these places are constantly in use and the queues that build up during the lunch break don't seem to put anybody off.

Where else can you get such a selection of coffee and general hot drink varieties, along with a delectable range of sandwiches and sticky desserts at such reasonable prices?All in ultimate comfort too as Starbucks outlets are filled with comfy sofas and armchairs. Almost every town centre, shopping

For a long time, American coffee was said to be weak and not very tasty. Lately, though, that has changed. Many coffee houses like this one have opened up where people can select from many types of coffee and other beverages, have a snack, read the newspaper, and get free wireless internet.
America stand lange Zeit in dem Ruf, keinen guten Kaffee zu haben. In letzter Zeit hat sich das allerdings geändert. Viele Caféhäuser wie dieses haben geöffnet, wo die Besucher sich ihren Kaffee von vielen verschiedenen Sorten auswählen, einen Imbiß essen, Zeitung lesen, und kostenlose Internetverbindung in Anspruch nehmen können.
Don’t all parents have to like coffee? Between late nights with a newborn and waiting up for a teen? Staying awake when driving kids home from a sleepover they decided they really didn’t want to be at, or an away game?
So I’ve found a way to make great coffee fast.
And this is coming from someone who has never really liked coffee.
No, really. I won’t drink coffee out, usually; if I go to Starbuck’s I usually only get a Frappacino or chai.
My parents, on the other hand, are the typical two-cups in the morning and maybe more during the day types. I always liked the smell but couldn’t get past the taste.
But when I was in college, they started getting Gevalia beans and grinding it fresh. They raved over it. I tasted. It was drinkable, at least. So when I came home for visits, I’d usually drink a cup. In grad school, I learned to like espresso, when an Italian friend introduced me to the real thing with the real stuff brought from Italy.
