Pour Your Heart into It : How Starbucks Built
a Company One Cup at a Time
Since 1987, Starbucks's star has been on the rise, growing from 11 Seattle, WA-based stores to
more than 1,000 worldwide. Its goals grew, too, from the more modest, albeit fundamental one of
offering high-quality coffee beans roasted to perfection to, more recently, opening a new store
somewhere every day. An exemplary success story, Starbucks is identified with innovative
marketing strategies, employee-ownership programs, and a product that's become a subculture.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, a manager, a marketer, or a curious Starbucks loyalist, Pour
Your Heart into It will let you in on the revolutionary Starbucks venture. CEO Howard Schultz
recounts the company's rise in 24 chapters, each of which illustrates such core values as "Winning
at the expense of employees is not victory at all." --This text refers to an out of print or

Specialty Coffee Drinks: Made At Home Simple And Easy-Video
About the Video : Once you've picked out your desired beans, tell your coffee bar attendant what type of espresso
machine you have and he'll grind the coffee for you. Even small variations in grind can make a big difference in taste and performance. And, if you have a coffee grinder at home, even better because finely ground coffee becomes stale very quickly.
One common mistake made in brewing espresso is to brew too much coffee from the same grounds. Brewing 2-3 ounces at once can make your espresso thin and bitter tasting. It's best to brew 1-2 ounces.
Putumayo Blend: Music of the Coffee Lands
The artists gathered together here hail from nations and cultures noted for the growing and export of
coffee. Part of the proceeds from the album are earmarked for charity and
any catchy idea that gets the music out there is a good thing. Like the luscious drink itself, the tunes
come in many intensities and flavors, ranging from a light-as-air ditty from Peru, to the more complex
vocal stylings of Colombia's Claudia Gomez, to Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca's earthy
Afro-Cuban Congolese rumba. The album is a lively and fascinating travelogue, making landfall in
Cuba, Kenya, Brazil, Uganda, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and Peru. As with many
other Putumayo projects, aside from its musical pleasures, this set would make an entertaining and
educational experience for younger family members.

Incredible...simply incredible!,
I am not a rich man so I try to be careful about buying new books. After I received this book in the
mail I nearly read the whole thing in one sitting. I'll tell you...my worry was that this might be a
standard "starting a small business" book with the occasional coffee reference thrown in, but it
turned out to be quite the contrary. This is an incredibly detailed description of so many things that I
never considered. This is one of the best and well-thought out books I've ever purchased.

The Coffee Book: Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop
An engaging, informative look at one of the most popular products in the world. Jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary, The Coffee Book covers coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the 6th century A.D. to the dramatic rise of Starbucks and other specialty retailers in the 1990s. Written with verve and filled with little-known facts, the book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of caf society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to Renaissance French cafs to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the dramatic story of international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. The book also examines the industry's major players -- General Foods, Nestl, Proctor & Gamble -- revealing how they have systematically reduced the quality of the bean and turned a much-loved product into a lifestyle. Finally, The Coffee Book considers the exploitation of labor and damage to the environment that mass cultivation causes, and explores the growing "conscious coffee" market and "fair trade" movement.
