I’m starting a new category on Coffee Nova called Community.  Coffee is such a global phenomenon, people drink (and eat) it anywhere from Alaska to Zanzibar. Community will be snippets of news and info about how coffee affects people’s lives, about stories of cafes and coffeehouses, and anything else that fits.

Coffee With A Cop

In Fort Morgan, Police Chief Keith Kuretich and his officers hold “Coffee With a Cop” sessions. These sessions are held at Cafe Lotus, and they take the opportunity to talk to members of the community. What do they talk about? Traffic, speeding, the hazards of foliage that blocks the line of sight at intersections and the rumors which abound in the community. For 2010, Kuretich hopes to continue these sessions a couple of times a month.


High Spirits Menu from Cafe Coffee Day

Cafe Coffee Day is India’s largest coffee chain. They are developing a High Spirits Menu, which includes “coffee beer”. Coffee beer is non-alcoholic but has the same colour, froth, texture, fizz and taste of regular beer. Cafe Coffee Day is also developing a slew of other coffee-based spirits and non-alcoholic products.

Dying for coffee

What would you do if you just got stabbed with a 5-inch knife in the chest? A 52-year-old man walked into Bray’s Hamburgers in Hazel, ordered a coffee and said he was waiting for an ambulance to come. He’d just called 911 at 10pm on Sunday, after being stabbed. He’s expected to recover. The knife was suspected to be a steak knife, but we don’t have details on what type of coffee he ordered.

Cheap Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee

Looking for some bargain coffee this holiday season? Dunkin’ Donuts is offering an online special of a pound of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee for only $5.00, not including shipping costs, at www.DunkinDonuts.com through December 29. Participating Dunkin’ Donuts outlets are also offering four one-pound bags of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee (ground or whole bean) for the $19.99. You won’t get fantastic gourmet coffee at DD, but at least you get them at bargain prices.
