		<description><![CDATA[  I&#8217;d like to tell you all about the new Jura Signature Range Espresso machines not because I&#8217;m actually a coffee connoisseur and not because this line of coffee makers and espresso machines will clearly rank somewhere in my list of the world&#8217;s most expensive coffee makers, but rather because I was sent a press release and haven&#8217;t written anything else in a while. See, I wrote about a bunch of really expensive coffee machines a while ago and now I regularly get emails from companies that want me to promote their stuff. This is not a bad thing, but these emails never include a free coffee maker sent to my home. These Jura Signature Range Espresso machines are no different. JURA is apparently a &#8220;luxury Swiss coffee brand&#8221; that makes incredibly shiny machines that excel at making drinks like espresso, coffee, capresso (I have not idea what that is), Cappuccino, Latte, Macchiato (this, either), Ristretto (they&#8217;re just making things up now), Ralph Macchio and a bunch of other drinks I&#8217;ve never heard of. The press release was dated as &#8220;Xx Feburary 2009&#8243; so I know that the Jura press office is pretty serious about what they send out. They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So you&#8217;re tired of that crusty brown-stained white plastic Mr. Coffee Deluxe sitting on your kitchen counter doling out lukewarm cups of caffeinated dishwater each morning? Are you looking to upgrade your coffee maker to something more fitting of a man or woman in your position in life? Are you simply rich and stupid and like good coffee? Then why not gather up some of that spare change from under the couch cushions and go out and buy yourself an exorbitantly expensive coffee maker? Here are a few to choose from&#8230; Vroom, Vroom! Lamborghini Coffee Maker &#8211; $1750 &#8211; Sure, you have the Lamborghini watch, the jacket, the coffee mug and the numerous posters with half naked women in European fashion swimsuits tacked up all over your apartment. They go well with your puffy black faux leather couches your halogen stand lamps and your framed Nagel posters. And even though you have plenty of refrigerator magnets, you somehow think your 12 square foot galley kitchen needs just a little more chrome to really impress the swarms of women (or mom and grandmom) when they visit. You need to blow your wad on the only coffeemaker that is known for making [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hurry over to ebay to bid on the only bag of coffee that&#8217;s ever been sent into space! Today&#8217;s world is filled with a lot of bad things like wars, famine, pestilence, Paris Hilton and Silver Surfers. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m especially shocked that more people are not mobbing eBay for a chance to bid on the only bag of coffee that has been fired into space, exposed to cosmic rays, and then brought back down to earth in a marketing move meant to raise money for the JP Aerospace organization. I&#8217;ve written about this Space Coffee before and I told you about how JP Aerospace is poised to become bigger than NASA just as soon as NASA loses all the money, people, technology and bloated budget. From the press release: The balloon was flown by JP Aerospace, an independent space program. In addition to the coffee, over 300 student experiments were carried aloft. Lifting off shortly after dawn, the balloon climbed 800 feet per minute. As it headed upward, the temperature dropped to 82 degrees below zero, and the sky slowly turned black. When it reached high enough where the Earth&#8217;s horizon is curved, the balloon burst. The coffee and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Late Dave Thomas agrees: Folgers Tastes More Like Poo because it&#8217;s made from Poo. I&#8217;m going to interrupt the normal jovial tone of this blog to bring you important news about a disturbing trend that is sweeping across our country and striking fear and terror into the hearts of good citizens everywhere: coffee abuse. The mainstream media is going to tell you that coffee abuse occurs when you drink too much coffee. There are two very well-reasoned arguments against this definition: You can NEVER drink too much coffee. The mainstream media is a bunch of tea-drinking pansy Nazi sympathizers who would rather sip some soggy leaves dipped in warm water than partake in the heavenly nectar of the gods we call coffee. No, the real coffee abuse is being committed right out in the open. People are using coffee for EVIL! To illustrate this horrifying trend I bring you three recent news stories: It was an open and shut case: the motive was love, the body was cold, and the coffee was hot. Man Uses Hot Coffee To Rob Service Station: In Texas a man walked into a service station, poured himself a cup of hot coffee and approached [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The time traveling Paul Muller of the CaffiNation Technology and Coffee podcast. Paul Rj Muller can travel through time, and I hate him for it. He hasn&#8217;t told me about his abilities, of course. True time travelers never reveal their secret power, but I&#8217;ve found him out anyway. I&#8217;ll explain how I know this in a moment. Paul is the Head Barista and Digital DJ Supreme over at The CaffiNation Podcast of The High Octane World of Coffee and Technology. His media empire consists of a Podcast and blog that usually concentrates on coffee, technology, music and just about everything else cool in between. He&#8217;s always entertaining, he usually digs up some darn good music on his podcast and he always has a few super-cool links on his blog. But there&#8217;s more. You see, Paul also runs a small business on the side, works a full-time job and, by an amazing coincidence, became a father of his own little bundle of joy one day before my own little Baby Coffee was born. He&#8217;s probably also producing a cable tv show for FOX, single handedly building Internet 3 in his basement, writing a romance novel and putting together the definitive directory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re the kind of person who needs coffee to not only function, but actually breathe each morning, then this site is for you. It&#8217;s Ineedcoffee.com and the domain name pretty much sums it up. It&#8217;s a totally free (as in coffee) site that has years of coffee poetry, coffee articles, coffee stories, coffee drawings, coffee tutorials, coffee reviews, coffee news and even plenty of coffee cartoons! See a subtle theme here? It&#8217;s a very well done site that does exactly what it promises to do: highlight and entertain the coffee drinker in all of us. There are several years worth of articles and they typically update at the beginning of each month.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure, you like coffee. You buy gourmet beans from the specialty coffee store. You brew your own special blend to the rave reviews of friends and neighbors. You use a coffee-scented perfume or cologne. You snack on coffee beans and take vacations to Columbia just to inspect the trees. But you don&#8217;t really love coffee until you have it actually hanging on your walls. If your walls are suspiciously devoid of any hangable coffee, fret no more! Just visit JustCoffeeArt.com and check out the amazing things these two painters can do with a pot of coffee, an empty canvas and a paintbrush! Yes, they actually use thick coffee as a sort of watercolor paint and they&#8217;re able to get different shades using stronger and weaker brews. Their website tells the story of how Angel Sarkela-Saur and Andy Saur were thinking of a unique project for a coffee shop art show and after some experimenting came up with the idea of actually using coffee as a sort of watercolor. The paintings even smell like coffee when they&#8217;re done. There&#8217;s tons of great things on their site including art for sale, prints you can buy and lots of video clips of news [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My office is filled with weaklings. These are people who are afraid of running a short hundred mile marathon. These are people who can&#8217;t last a measly fifteen rounds in the ring with a grizzly bear. These are people who can&#8217;t catch a bullet in their teeth, karate-chop their way through a brick wall or even kill a man with a plastic spork. That&#8217;s right. My office is filled with tea drinkers. They come in with their lemon-rosemary (an unholy combination if ever there was one) scented cups of hot water and take a few sips every so often, exclaiming how soothing or soft the flavor is and how it really &#8220;takes the edge&#8221; off that hectic day when the phone rings twice. I come in with my large mug of steaming black java and down it before they&#8217;ve had time to stir in their two Sweet N&#8217; Lows and four drops of non-dairy whole bean fat-free flavor filtered soy milk. I get into the office around 8:00 AM and I&#8217;m ready to take on the world by 8:03 AM while they&#8217;re still dunking their little soggy bags of leaves, moving their heads up and down in rhythm with their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure.. You hate clowns. We all do. But do you really hate clowns, or are you just some wanna-be clown hater? Now it&#8217;s time to find out&#8230; If you really hate clowns, then you&#8217;ll love this site. It&#8217;s an entire website devoted to clown hating. The link? What else? Ihateclowns.com. This isn&#8217;t just some website devoted to wacky rants about some childhood trauma centered around gobs of bleach-white greasepaint and a circus tent&#8230; No, this takes the idea of not liking something to another level. This guy offers a I Hate Clowns store, plenty of I Hate Clowns video games, methods for jointing the &#8220;anti-clowning&#8221; community, a few free I Hate Clowns items and an entire message forum devoted to hating clowns. And don&#8217;t think this guy is selective. Not at all! He also hates mimes. And, like any good internet entrepreneur, he also has a site dedicate to that. I&#8217;ll let you guess the website address. Go ahead. I dare ya. Man, I admire him. If, by chance, you&#8217;re one of those few people who actually like clowns (and I mean really, really, really LIKE clowns) then maybe you should run a quick Google search for &#8220;clown porn&#8221;. No, [...]]]></description>
