I have a lot on my reader by only a handful update with uniqueg content and that's what I am looking for. Kiril has caught my eye recently for great insight and Snoz does have an occasional outburst of revelation in between the Hoffman fan boy posts ;-) Snoz,

freshness. i agree. it’s there. it just needs to be harnessed.

I must confess to being painfully ignorant of cafe groups outside of europe and north america... ben - re:nick - was that a pf podcast rant I vaguely remember? What I think is interesting is the number of people stepping up and ticking the requirements of freshness, originality etc... abhishek – could you please tell me more about the company you have/work for?

I had always wanted to comment, but I could not muster up enough courage as I considered myself more of a dilettante and less of an enthusiast. However, with the time and the constant hopping on to the various blogs which are on the blog rolls of most of the bloggers, I have learnt a lot , and today's post is the apt one for me to comment. Therefore I am a strong votary of the digital medium, which has been constantly guiding me into the right direction, as I am pursuing to open a specialty cafe, as otherwise we do not have any wave of the coffee. Though we have close to one and a half thousand cafes ,modeled on the lines of Starbucks , dishing out coffee pretty much similar to Starbucks, but nonetheless educating the crowd about coffee, yet we still do not have a coffee culture. In spite of India being the sixth largest producer , we probably have just one micro roasting unit. If it would not have been blogs like yours and the fantastic forums, it would have been difficult to source the knowledge. I feel privileged to have the access to this medium . Cheers Jim hi,
