The artisan coffee roaster who prepped the panel’s fresh coffees, wasn’t surprised to discover a preference for the “whole experience”. Dorcen Walters, of Kommon Grounds, said it was a tough call for employers because coffee beans on supermarket shelves could be up to a year old and false economy because employees might not then rate them any better than instant. Of the nine different fresh-bean brews tasted, an El Salvador style was voted the winner.

That bacteria transfers to the mug and can live there for three days,” he said. RELATED: 10 Coolest Ice Cube Trays You Need Gerba suggests taking the mug along on morning and evening commutes so it can be cleaned in a dishwasher. “At the very least, wash it with hot water, soap, and a paper towel. If it sits unwashed on your desk after being used, germs will start reproducing immediately—and bacterial colonies grow even when the cup contains nothing more than a coffee ring,” he said.

The Smoked Beez Neez, is a honey-ginger gin cocktail that draws fire’s breath from a spoonful of scotch’s peat, while sporting an Everclear-flambéed lemon for garnish. The dessert-friendly Cafe Mole bears house-made, pepper-infused tequila, Crème de Cacao, the cold-drip coffee, mole bitters and a Chai-ish spiced syrup mix. I’m already pleased by the latter, but the mad scientists tinker onward: After a taste, Windham, in a friendly mentoring manner, inquires which peppers Nicol used.

Jun 12, 2013 02:40 PM EDT AP MAASTRICHT, Netherlands — Owners and staff of three cannabis-selling cafes went on trial Wednesday in the southern Netherlands charged with selling weed to foreigners, in a case both sides of a heated drug debate in this border city hope will clarify the legality of a clampdown on so-called “coffee shops.” Maastricht is using new national legislation banning coffee shops from selling cannabis and marijuana to people who don’t live in the Netherlands as a way of clamping down on what the local mayor says was a nuisance caused by hundreds of thousands of drug tourists driving into the picturesque heart of the city to stock up on weed. The cafe owners and staff being prosecuted were arrested last month after serving foreign customers as a way of testing the legality of the new rules. A second group of owners is due in court later this month and verdicts are expected in mid-July.

The film, which focuses on the potential closing of a local coffee shop, was written and directed by Brad Copeland (of Arrested Development), with Glenn Howerton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as Will, who uses the coffee shop as his office. According to the trailer below, Will discovers that Coffee Town might just be turned into a bistro lounge, ruining his office and everyday hangout spot with his friends. And the obvious solution is to rob the place so the bistro-lounge concept fades away once any inkling of crime pops up. Other stars to see? Adrianne Palicki, Josh Groban, and New Girl’s Jake Johnson.

Therefore, “the flavor of ice coffee is kind of like coffee in the broadest brush strokes. That’s cool, and if you want a cold drink, you’re getting a cold drink. Ain’t no shame in that game. But if you’re going to take away so much of the good stuff, the last thing I want to see is bitterness in the coffee. It’s like you’re burying the treasure in the sand and making me dig through the oil spill you dropped on top of it.” The coffee purist/geek knows things. Do not mess with him. The Dessert Coffee-ist.
