I've been looking for more stories about coffee in the news lately. One big issue out of Germany comes from a press release announcing the desire to form a Coffee & Climate Initiative, which would build an alliance of coffee producers, a group called International Coffee Partners and the two other founding members are the foundation Fondazione Giuseppe e Pericle Lavazza Onlus (Italy) and, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit. The vision of the partnership is to enable all coffee farmers worldwide to effectively respond to climate change. By bridging climate change science and proven farming methods, comprehensible and hands-on tools are developed and provided to the producers. See the whole press release here.
In another direction, I wanted to announce my next show on blogtalkradio.com, coming up this Saturday night/Sunday morning in the Central Standard Time zone. We will be featuring the Roadside Radio Kitchen Jams, and discussing mine-bending topics around the Krups espresso machine. I've posted some great crema shots from our Krups here too.
