This seems to be a pretty informative coffee industry site: http://www.virtualcoffee.com/ It's part of this network: http://www.coffeeuniverse.com/ Which is run by the folks at Bellissimo, a professional consulting group that assists with opening specialty coffee shops (honestly!): http://www.espresso101.com/ Bruce Milletto, the president of Bellissimo and publisher of Coffee Universe, is one of the nicest guys I've never worked for. http://www.espresso101.com/news/who_is_bruce.htm I passed on an opportunity to do some of the development of these sites, so that I could go back to work for the failing startup that started my web career. Lesson learned: never pass up the opportunity to work for coffee. Anyway, those are the resources out of Eugene, Oregon (just 300 miles south of the center of the Kapitalist Koffee world -- Seattle!). -- David Wagner dave at worlddomination.net
