Coffee Signage – It never gets old!

The Holidays are fast approaching and at CICR, we’re working hard to put the last finishing touches on our 2009 Holiday Gift Shop. Most of the things we accomplish in the last few days are a community approach at completing a project. The following sign is a combination of Cristy’s desire for a good sign, Jeff’s sense of humor, and Dan’s layout. We thought you’d enjoy seeing one this sign (it’s going up by the espresso machine). Just another fun post for you to enjoy!

Thanks for your Support!

Coffee that will make you move!

I read this article on Engadget and wanted to share it with our Coffee drinkers… it’s funny and a lot of fun to watch.

“A robot barista-filled future may still be a long ways off, but it looks like you may just be answering to a machine of another sort for your coffee sooner than you think — at least if Douwe Egberts has its way. While it’s still a concept, the company’s so-called BeMoved coffee machine promises to finally bring the disparate worlds of hot beverages and motion control together at last, and do nothing short of raise “human interaction with a coffee machine to a higher level” in the process. Because, really, you can never truly feel close to a coffee machine until it’s taunted you to jump up and down to fill your cup of joe. Of course, you can also do some slightly more practical things like tailor your coffee exactly the way you like using the massive touchscreen, and even check up on the weather and news while you wait. No word on any test markets just yet, but folks can apparently check out the concept first-hand at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven this week — or simply head on past the break for a video.”

Engadget is a great blog for the technology geeks out there. The section above in quotes was taken directly from them as a quote. I highly recommend reading their blog and I watch their posts daily.

Enjoy! Dan – CICR
