Java News You Can Use

Like many web workers, we’ve spent more than our fair share of time doing the bedouin thing in the coffee shop of our choice. And even when we’re not roaming, caffeine fuels plenty of web work. That’s why a pair of coffee-related news items caught our eye this morning.

First off, if you’re a blogger head on over to Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Company. They’re having a beta test – not of software, but of their new Jamaican Me Crazy flavored coffee. Sign up to be a beta tester, and they’ll mail you a sample and link to your blog.

In other news, Starbucks is closing down for three and a half hours tonight, starting at 5:30 PM local time. Apparently they’re retraining the company baristas in how to make the perfect espresso – so you’ll need to get your caffeine and wireless somewhere else during that time. One potential is Dunkin’ Donuts, who are having a 99-cent special on their own espresso while Starbucks is offline.
