Burgers and Folgers?


For those of you that like Folgers coffee, you are in luck. Why? Because Wendy's has jumped on the premium coffee bandwagon by starting to offer Folgers premium coffee in all of its North American stores. So now you can chow down on your favorite Wendy's burger while sipping on a tasty Folgers cup of coffee.

Interesting they decided to partner, and not make their own premium brand, like McDonalds and Burger King have done. So which fast food chain is next to offer premium coffee? In-n-Out featuring Maxwell House? I wonder...

Bikinis. The new coffee shop marketing idea...

Yep, believe it or not, a coffee shop in Oregon is making their staff wear bikinis all summer! And its paying off - their sales have doubled to $1000 a day! Its actually part of a Haiwaiian Tropic promotion called 'Bikini Days' there - including free samples and advertising on coffee sleeves. Pretty good idea right? This would definitely work for coffee shops in San Diego too! All they need is to offer pina coladas and it would be the perfect hit ;)

Impress Your Friends with Coffee Art

Yes, coffee geeks are impressed with doing cool stuff with coffee and the foam on top of it. I know this all to well after working in Starbucks before!

Anyway, I just found this cool website explaining how to draw some cool patterns in your coffee while pouring, called 'Latte Art'... check it out, very interesting! First person that can draw an english flag on their coffee gets a special prize from me ;)
