OMG, these are really cool coffee shops! Cargo containers turned into homes or shops are really a brilliant idea. Recycle!!!

I’m a coffee drinker and seeing the boost of this industry makes me want to drink more coffee. These inspired shipping container designs for coffee shops are awesome and it truly attracts customers. Thanks for sharing.

There are numerous cities in the US that have good espresso. There is a median between “top end European espresso” and the bitter espresso out of a super-automatic from “Charbucks”. Starbucks used to train their baristas to use real machines way back when. Now, they’ve sacrificed it all for speed. Check out http://espressomap.com for a good but incomplete list of decent espresso.

I wouldn’t call Starbucks coffee mediocre, unless you’re one of the people who has latte type milk drinks, which will make any coffee mediocre… It’s not top-end European espresso, but very little in the US is! Compare to the crap out of big cans that most people drink, 7-11, Dunkin Donuts, Mcdonald’s, etc… still think Starbucks is “mediocre”??

The “second most traded commodity” myth is often repeated in the coffee industry, but it never had any basis in statistical fact. Wheat, flour, sugar and soybeans are bigger agricultural commodities, and coffee is well behind copper, aluminum and oil on the non-agricultural side. Nevertheless, the coffee trade is a very, very big business. (“Uncommon Grounds,” Introduction to Second Edition, Mark Pendergrast, 2010).
