Eyal, I'd been wondering where all my coffee was going. Finally, I got fed up and installed a small motion-activated camera in the vicinity of my stash. Attached is an image that my system managed to capture overnight. Aliens! Now I'm off to set some traps. Consider your theory confirmed. The truth is out there, indeed! Best, --Josh

I was thinking the other day, if I was an alien, what would be the one thing I'd come to earth for? Well, for me (and this is totally subjective…) the answer is clear - coffee! 

Now I am not a cosmologist, but it doesn't take a genius to see that the chances of finding coffee in space are very slim. Too bad for the aliens.

A ferociously-kept secret guarded by the Ricci family for more than 70 years of business, a single recipe is the lynchpin of one of Italy’s finest caffès.  Tucked between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona and situated just across from the Senate is Rome’s Sant’Eustachio Il Caffè, a veritable Mecca of Italian caffès.  One of the city’s busiest, 4,000 – 6,000 customers are served the famous gran caffè special each and every day.

I just love the way this article makes coffee tasting as simple as possible. And really it should be. 25% of the population is defined as “supertasters” meaning they have the capability to easily distinguish between different tastes.

It’s been almost two months since our stealth-mode beta went live and we are ready to go prime-time. So hopefully you will find us, starting this weekend, on our main internet address www.ROASTe.com. We have already had tens of orders and they have all been timely fulfilled without a glitch. The two most popular coffees so far have been Iron Brew’s Classic Roast, a medium roast Carolina classic, and Chazzano’s Papua New Guinea Fair Trade Organic. Both got the thumbs up from our customers.

Today is a special day for us at ROASTe.com. After brewing for many months we are finally bringing the site up. Yes, it’s only a beta, and yes we only invite a few of our friends to begin with, but yet, we are going live. EXCITING!

ROASTe.com’s vision is neither coming from acute businessmen nor from fanatic coffee geeks…It’s a vision driven by need, the need of three coffee enthusiasts, for great coffee.
