regional coffee culture, part xix

i guess i've spent the better part of last week ragging on the quality of office coffee, so i ought to note today's article on the rather highly developed and somewhat quality-oriented office coffee culture in south florida.

this allows me to move smoothly on to a few coffee beverage recipes released today by bccy pals at the scaa.

long-time readers may note that i've remarked several times on the southern trend of melting candy bars into coffee to make specialty drinks. i thought this trend was gonna break out big.

and here in these recipes released today, we see one in which peppermint patties(!) are melted into coffee. now, i don't advise this; i wouldn't like it. and i'm not sure any without a raging sweet tooth would.

but hey! there are coffee lovers out there who would probably drink these every sunday morning. . . .the malted-banana coffee drink seems like it would be a hit with teens!

mostly these recipes seem a nice way to remind the general public of the upcoming coffee convention in atlanta in april. yours truly will be teaching several sessions there, actually.

i encourage everyone to come! plane tickets to atlanta are quite inexpensive, and hotel rooms can be reasonably cheap on the 'net. so become an scaa consumer member today and introduce yourself to me in person at the conference!
