I'm in London this week but taking time to tour the great coffee establishments here and purchase more coffee than I can feasibly ever drink.

One thing I can find amazing about London compared to Milan, Munich and Berlin is the total lack of any coffee machine shops.

My thought for this week is the irony of coffee 'origination'. For most people it doesn't matter were the coffee beans come from, only that they come from somewhere.

There's no real preference for Kenya over Costa Rica, just that it must have an origin somewhere. This is in opposition to most other foods and beverage where the specific origin (e.g. Champagne) is essential to 'quality'.
