Wow, talk about brand dilution and degradation. Starbucks is teaming up with Pepsi to distribute a whole bunch of hot drink vending machines. You’ll see them in some test markets this summer, and if all goes well, expect them to spread like wildfire. (via Slashfood)

While drinking coffee can cause a short-term increase in blood pressure, a recent study has found that coffee intake has no effect on overall blood pressure long term. In other words, you won’t develop a blood pressure problem because of your coffee intake. Interestingly, people who were considered ‘light coffee drinkers’ were found to actually be at higher risk of developing high blood pressure than heavy drinkers! A possible explanation would be that heavy coffee drinkers may actually develop a tolerance to the blood pressure raising effects of caffeine. You can read the whole article here.

I’ve been thrilled with ordering unroasted coffee beans from Sweet Marias, but options are always a good thing and I’ve come across another green bean supplier in California, The Unroasted Coffee Co, based out of San Francisco. They sell exclusively organic coffee, much of it shade-grown and/or Fair Trade certified.
