coffee to heal cancer, depressed neighborhoods

since we here at bccy are fervently intent in creating a global culture of coffee connoisseurs, i have to note that the annual u.k. coffee fundraiser for macmillan cancer relief is nearly upon us.

long-time readers may recall that i've talked about the famous u.k. coffee morning before.

this year it's sept. 26 (and here).

i encourage all my u.k. readers to drink an extra cup on that date at a participating establishment!

also, while flavored coffee isn't my personal thing, i'm well aware that 25% of coffee drinkers love it. so in this inclusive spirit, this recipe for making your own maple-flavored indonesian cup seems great.

the brewing tips at the end of article are good too. and in other coffee recipe news, this recipe (log your own bad self in: bccy, password) for a café frappé au lait is right up our alley these last days of august.

loyal readers know i'm going to be happy with anyone writing an article that begins "i love coffee." here's to you, annie dessens!

finally, i've written here several times about towns that have opened new coffeehouses to help revitalize their neighborhoods and ailing main streets. (for example, here.)

so today i'm pleased to find an article that suggests the coffeehouse as a foundation for urban planning. coffee is the most intellectual and social beverage.

it's no wonder that a new coffeehouse only adds to the local culture and increases the overall quality of life for all.
