Houndstooth Coffee Brings a Variety of Espressos to Austin
Houndstooth Coffee has taken a different approach that is a breath of fresh air for the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) South Central Region. Instead of sticking to one roasting company they decided that they wanted the citizens of Austin to experience coffee as it is across the country.Rhode Island Showdown: Coffee Milk Taste Test
Coffee milk is the state drink of Rhode Island. But so few consume it outside of this little state! After failing to explain the drink's importance to non-Rhode-Islanders, I decided it was time for a definitive answer. That's right—it was time for a taste test. I tried three brands of syrup side-by-side to find the yummiest: the two classics (Autocrat and Eclipse) and a newcomer (Morning Glory).Video: Heatswell, a Heat-Activated Insulated Coffee Cup
Heatswell by electrical engineer and designer Scott Amron is a biodegradable and recyclable coffee cup wrapped with a heat-activated band that swells to form an insulating collar, thus eliminating the need for cardboard collars and saving on waste and space.

Nicknamed the "Car-puccino," this converted 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco, chosen for its resemblance to the DeLorean time-traveling car from Back To The Future runs completely on roasted coffee granules. A team from the BBC science show Bang Goes The Theory built the coffeemobile and calculated that it can run three miles per kilo of ground coffee, or about 56 espressos per mile.Coffee Supplies Hit by Climate Change; Grumpiness to Follow
Whether you believe in climate change or not, the International Coffee Organization does, and it's the one saying that global warming is affecting growers in some coffee-growing countries. You know what that means: fewer beans and higher prices. We're getting antsy already.Street Food Profiles: HubBub Coffee Company in Philadelphia
