Any Coffee Lovers Out There?

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad)" @ 01:00 AM

"You love coffee. You love to drink it. You're a connoisseur, you buy the best, you brew the best. You want to know more about your coffee, the history of coffee, the subtleties, how to brew it and create your favorite coffee beverages. You think about coffee even when you're not drinking it. If this sounds familiar, then this is the AppList for you."

The Starbucks app is certainly the road map, it's just that well done and useful. The other ones aren't as store specific, but I'm sure you might find one or two that are useful.

Coffee Bars Replacing Coffee Houses

Posted by Joe Johaneman in "Apple Talk" @ 08:00 AM

"AT times, the large back room at Café Grumpy in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, has so many customers typing and wearing noise-canceling headphones that it looks like an office without the cubicles. A second Café Grumpy location, in Chelsea, prohibited laptops after too many customers ran extension cords across the room. The ban still rankles with some in the blogosphere."

I've been reading more and more articles lately about this movement of coffee places and cafes disallowing or restricting laptop usage. There are even some places that won't let you use an iPad or even a Kindle. While I can understand the frustration owners have over customers who turn their shop into an office, it seems unfair to me to punish everybody for the actions of a few. I don't drink coffee, so I generally don't go to these places anyhow, and I pretty much only frequent places that have free WiFi and let you stay as long as you like as long as you continue to buy stuff on a regular basis. It seems to me to be a fair trade. What do you think?

"Mmm... nothing like the smell of a warm caramel macchiato in the morning being masked by the smell of fresh greenbacks being burned, right?"

Nothing better than free Wi-Fi with your coffee, unless it's one of those blueberry muffins. Anyway, two clicks and you get free Wi-Fi at any Starbucks in the USA or Canada starting today. Good luck finding a seat now!
