Eating Ithaca
For those who haven’t had the pleasure, you can hear our impresario Kevin Cuddeback wax poetic on the origins of Gimme Coffee in podcast form here, at Eating Ithaca. It’s a bit lengthy, but it’s the most I’ve heard Kevin speak in the last year or so…
In other news, we have a brand new website! Check out the freshly brewed gimmecoffee.com for a deeper look at who we are as an organization. There’s tons of great content in there, Shopping, origin slideshows, sustainability info, and educational promotions. It’s an amazing web site (and I say that not just because it’s ours).
And filed under more “other news” is this buzz inspiring breaking news first seen on Steve’s blog; STARBUCKS BUYS CLOVER (not one, not two, the WHOLE COMPANY)! Let the blogosphere banter begin…

From Wikipedia: Impresario, from the Italian impresa, an enterprise or undertaking,[1] is a traditional term still very much in use in the entertainment industry for a manager or producer of concerts, tours and other events in music, opera, theatre[2] and even rodeo.[3] It is sometimes misspelled ‘impressario.’
The term is occasionally applied to others, such as art museum curators[4] and conference organisers,[5] who take a lead role in orchestrating events.
It’s most like a rodeo, I guess. But it sounds a bit high-falutin’, like I wear ascots and knickers and whatnot (which I don’t). That being said, you’ve called me much worse, Mike.
