Trade Lines-- Don't Do It

Trade Lines-- Don't Do It

We're sure y'all heard the big rumor out there that the Giants might trade either The Enchanter or Matt Cain to the Blue Jays for Alex Rios. This morning it was Timmy but now SFGate is saying it's Cain. Either way, our opinion is this-- hell to the noes. more ›

New Customers From New Coffee--'Intelligentsia Design' or 'B.K. Joke'?

New Customers From New Coffee--'Intelligentsia Design' or 'B.K. Joke'?

Okay, so Burger King has introduced this new coffee, B.K. Joe, available in regular, decaf, and (wait for it . . .) TURBO ("40 percent more caffeine!"). A lot of places hope to lure in customers with good coffee as a sweetener to buy other products. McDonald's, for instance, is doing something similar, but using New England as the test market, so we can't really check that out yet (using fair trade, organic coffee and hyping the quality, not the power; seems like a better idea to us). Specialty's, though, is now carrying Intelligentsia coffee, a pretty well-known brand out of Chicago that's apparently well liked amongst coffee snobs. We, in fact, were excited to hear this; Specialty's old coffee . . . well, let's just say your Trmiethyldioxypurist's cheapness is well known, yet he couldn't stomach Specialty's 50-cent-if-you-bring-your-own-cup deal back when he used to work near the Montgomery Station location. more ›

Good Karma=Good Coffee? Indeed.

Good Karma=Good Coffee? Indeed.

We found a really nice coffee -- from a local roaster no less -- and when we made it at home on our stovetop doohicky (still our favorite mode of home brewing), it was as good or better than anything we've had in a cafe. From our little kitchen in the dungeon, no less! Taylor Maid Farms has great coffee -- and President Mark Inman drops by with the skinny on this great enterprise. more ›
