Starbucks Set For Change

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 | Coffee Corner | No Comments

Starbucks have launched a social networking website to source fresh ideas for their business. What a great way to communicate with your target audience, by listening to their ideas and making some of them happen.

A birthday coffee i believe is a fantastic idea - If i was shopping in the high street on my birthday i would take a trip into Starbucks for my free coffee!

If your a Starbucks fan then perhaps you have a great idea that you want to share. Log onto their site.

I Think Everyone Should Have One Of These!

Thursday, March 13th, 2008 | Coffee Corner | No Comments

Whilst surfing the internet, I came accross this which i think every coffee and tea lover would absolutely love.!!!!!

You can buy them online from the following link, i think this beats our company mugs, so i think we’ll look into seeing if a ‘Dunk Mug’ can be branded!

The Dunk Mug makes dunking your biscuits in your drink so simple, without balancing the biscuit on the side of the mug or on the table. Excellent invention!!!
