Arizona Coffee

Who should I interview next and what would you like me to ask them? I’m hoping to do about two interviews a month and hope to do some audio interviews lasting about 5 minutes. Quick stuff.

A number of people have asked me about advertising on Arizona Coffee and I wanted to write a short post about this topic. I have been working on a pricing card for those wishing to sponsor the site. Email me if you’d like a copy when it’s ready.
Key things to know:

I’ll have special introductory rates

I’m at Weather & Coffee. It’s a new coffee shop which opened only this year. Behind the counter when you order is a small chalkboard. A thoughtful hand has written the numbers 90 - which is todays temperature. I’m noticing all around me weather related decorations. There are the weather books and widgets on a […]

I’m in Angra right now sitting in a small room at a hotel and surprisingly they have computers with internet! Most of the other hotels didn’t or wanted to charge $30 a day. There’s a Brasilian man sitting next to me trying to check his email. I’m doing the same thing after being without the […]

The Year of Coffee blog is pretty cool. The author has restarted the site after a short break. He posts a photo of every cup of coffee (or as many as he can).

There was something about the Beanology logo that really struck a cord with me. Perhaps it is the slight animation effect (visible if you visit the site) or maybe it’s just the playful nature. Either way I thought it was cool (it’s for a Kansas coffee house).

A photo I took at Mama Java’s… people ordering coffee in the morning.

What’s your favorite coffee shop? Why do you go there? — Yes, this was pre-posted weeks ago to hopefully keep you entertained while I am away.

I ran across this article recently and thought it was interesting. The author basically explains how he thinks Wi-Fi should be offered and the various methods and problems people encounter. Might be a good read for someone.

Check out CenPho Mavens. It’s a weblog about life in Central Phoenix. They have a few posts about coffee and restaurants.

This summer I will be preparing the first Arizona Coffee Email Newsletter (official cool name to be decided). Besides announcing coffee shop openings, we’ll have some exclusive interviews, coffee news around AZ, and giveaways. I have big plans for the email newsletter, including incentives that will encourage independent coffee houses to join in and create […]

After seeing this photo of some coffee beans I have been inspired to start taking photos of coffee beans like I tried recently. I’m going to start as soon as I return from Brazil.
This is what canned coffee looks like. Eww.
Here’s an article about how independent business owners are working to build community in and […]

In my conversations with patrons of this web site one thing has become very clear. It’s about time that Arizona Coffee step up to the plate and provide ratings with actual meaning.
Up until this time I’ve been rather slacking in my attempts to rate the quality of coffee for one specific reason. Well, actually two. […]

When I return from Brazil I’ll be tan, a little fatter, and no doubt buzzing with the effects of Brazilian coffee (I hope!). It’s going to be a fast trip despite the length of two weeks. I will try to post something up here but I don’t know whether I’ll have internet access.
Two weeks […]

The Sahara Coffee & Bistro is opening a number of coffee house and bistro combinations inside local YMCA’s. They have already opened four locations and plan to open two more shortly in the following cities: Chandler, Ahwatukee Foothills, Downtown Phoenix & Litchfield Park.

Enough said.

Note: Rocket Coffee Roasters is no longer in business.
* Arizona Coffee Does Not Endorse Rocket Coffee Roasters or Larry Jones *
I have some of the new Papua New Guinea: Red Mountain from Rocket Coffee Roasters which I sampled today. I just had to get my camera out and take some pictures as well. The differences […]

They’ll commercialize just about anything, including candles. Check it out.

Has anybody visited Coffee Cabana in Mesa? Apparently they have a drive through and serve Affogato. I discovered it via this mini-review.
At Coffee Cabana in Mesa, 70 percent of customers order through the window. Those grabbing a quick coffee and Danish comprise the lion’s share of drive-through customers at Coffee Cabana, which serves mostly commuters […]
