Coffee: Beans to Buzz Tonight
A reminder that Coffee: Beans to Buzz will be on the National Geographic Channel tonight at 9pm ET/PT. The documentary is mostly a history of coffee, although it does touch on the plight of the coffee farmers, deforestation, and fair trade, albeit rudimentarily. A decent-enough overview of what the kerfuffle is all about.

hey! counter culture coffee’s the “local” coffee here that I drink. and i adore it. (just drank a french-pressed version of their idonesian coffee this morning– just what i needed).
and this is the coffee shop that has changed my taste about coffee forever. i never liked starbucks (not just for their wal-mart like business tactics or their ubiquitousness but because their coffee was plain awful swill compared to other regular coffee from, say, dunkin donuts!), so i always look for new coffee shops. 3 Cups makes the absolute best coffee ever– straight head pounding buzz to real coffee taste. and they use small batches as well. http://www.3cups.net/ there are even former customers who have moved to nyc and sent postcards saying they couldn’t find a better cup of coffee there. :)
all the gushing aside, happy belated new year! i won’t be able to watch the documentary (no cable here– SO and I are pretty happy going tv-free and dvds-only) but i’ll see if i can rent it from netflix.

My brother owns Sierra Pacific Coffee Co. in Tahoe, CA. He is the Owner/Roastmaster and I would love to send him a copy of this program for his upcoming birthday. How do I obtain a copy of this documentary? He is currently in Costa Rica for an Organic Coffee conference and then heads to Alaska for a week-long Heli-skiing vacation. I would love for him to come home to a fantastic documentary about his favorite subject. Thanks for any help you can provide, Eunice - Jeff
