What's Brewing in Eugene: Free Showing of New Coffee Film!


(click on photo to enlarge)

Here's something for coffee enthusiasts and coffee professionals alike, a free showing of the new film "KNOW YOUR STUFF!", a video about where coffee comes from. The showing is free to the public and will be followed by a Q&A with host Wen Lee. I found this posted as an event on the social networking site "facebook" and wanted to share it with all of my fellow coffee lovers. Below is the information as originally posted on facebook. Hope to see ya there tonight!

What's in a cup of coffee?

Come watch the world premiere showing of

KNOW YOUR STUFF!
A video about where coffee comes from

Using a combination of live-action and animation, the show follows Wen Lee as she zips off to Costa Rica in search of a coffee adventure. She tries her hand at coffee farming, chats with local farm workers, visits a coffee mill, and makes some astounding discoveries about the environmental, social, and economic impacts behind the coffee industry. It's amazing how such a simple drink can really be so complicated!

Join us for this exciting event:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 4:00-5:30pm
PLC 180 (University of Oregon)

A screening of the video will be shown, followed by Q&A with Wen Lee.
The event is free and everyone is welcome! Share it your friends!

This video is the terminal project of Wen Lee, master's degree candidate in the Environmental Studies Program. This event serves as a formal presentation to the ENVS program, as well as being open to the public.

Coffee Biz: Baristas to the Rescue!



Monday, October 26, 2009


Baristas to the Rescue--again!

Your New Mission:

It seems like yesterday that the American barista stepped out from that ocean of green aprons to prepare and declare themselves true professionals in the art of coffee education and preparation.
Now owners of independent retail specialty coffee businesses desperately need you again...as marketing associates to help them, and you, survive and thrive.
Taste EVERYTHING your coffee house sells your precious customers. Pick a favorite. If it doesn't taste great, immediately tell your owner, until it meets the same high standards your set for your coffee.
Once you are as proud of ALL the beverages and food your place serves, your new mission begins:
Every time an order is placed, inspire-not require- that added on sell by mentioning your favorite breakfast, lunch, pastry, gelato or any other item that compliments the time of day and order.
