I am finishing a cup of coffee. If it's a typical day, and if this about seven in the morning, then it's my first cup of the day. As I put the mug in the sink, I think already there's a lot to do. Soon I'll be at work. Mornings are frenetic there. Attorneys begin their days by listing every task that needs doing and they don't leave anything out. As a rule, the hours before lunch are spent pumping out authoritative letters printed on watermarked bond and only once it's clear that the firm will hit its mark for the day's business, will things quiet down. During one of these morning sessions, my boss told me that while waiting in line at the supermarket, he used the time to plan out exactly how many slices of ham he would need for the week ahead. Having been the type of person who did not know how many slices of ham he would need for, or if he would even want ham, I feel an odd admiration.
Which brings me to my second cup of coffee. Work allowing, this comes at around eleven from the coffee machine at the firm. As I take this coffee back to my desk, I think how the line between what I do when I study and what I do in my spare time is beginning to blur. When I learn, I want that knowledge to be a part of me, not just information for some exam. This, then is the introspective cup of coffee. It asks me to pry into the many dimensions of "I" and tease out their relation to the more general "we." It's the context in which those interior thoughts are demanded which makes this cup of coffee a little harder to drink. The considerations of "need" and "should" and other are eternal. They are the forces that shape us, in some ways through feelings like shame or guilt, but in other ways through feelings like admiration and respect. The honest external element isn't simply what I've been told makes good character or good virtue, but how I understand and judge the many was of having unique character and personality. Those considerations speak to the way I see other people and also to the different ways I see myself. When I drink coffee this way, the introduction of "should" doesn't change the goal of finding the words which unlock what I want, it just changes my understanding of what a description of myself might be.
One cannot help but think about how these principles can be utilized in one’s personal dealings. Loyalty, decency, and lifting up of your fellows are wonderful ideals to strive for in friendships, marriage, and in the rearing of children. It is difficult to think of any place in our lives that these ideals would NOT be applicable.

There are a handful of differences and similarities from an Ancient Greek drinking vessel and a Starbucks cup some people may not take into consideration. While comparing and contrasting a Starbucks coffee cup and Ancient Greek drinking vessels I will take careful notation into the differences and similarities of their form, function and decoration of the artifacts. I will go into careful detail of what the ancient Greeks used to create their drinking vessels. Also, I will elaborate the functions that the Ancient Greeks first had in mind and what uses they had during the different time periods. Another important aspect of the ancient Greek drinking vessels and Starbucks cup are the decorations and logos. This plays an important role in describing stories with historical significance.
There are many essentials that are fetishized by Americans; one of those things is coffee. It is no secret that there is a big demand for coffee with many specialty coffee shops springing up, such as Starbucks, Peet’s and Coffee Bean. Oftentimes, the consumer loses sight of where things come from and how they are produced. A key component of production is the producer. The consumer does not pay enough attention to the ethical treatment and wages of the producer. This paper discusses Karl Marx’s premise on Fetishism of Commodities and its direct relation to the production of coffee, focusing on the value of the coffee bean as well as how that directly impacts the farmer and his family.
The larger serving size of Great Cups of Coffee is perhaps the most apparent gage that will improve appeal for the company’s customers. Receiving extra of a proportionately quality product for a comparable price obviously works as an enticement for customers to prefer Great Cups more than the opposition. While customers identify with a better quality and superior taste with fresher coffee, Great Cups supports its effective model of serving coffee that has been roasted no more 72 hours ago and that is blended and ground right at the store. Great Cups also provides as an unintended marketing method community bulletin boards and assists with book club gatherings as well as
There are few novels that nosedive and soar so sporadically as that of Twain’s Huck Finn. It began as a capitalization on his prior work of Tom Sawyer, but quickly turned into a magnum opus of Americana. In order to fit that theme, the material must break the mold entirely. People say often (similar to Kubrick’s Full-Metal Jacket) that you should really stop experiencing the art around the end of the third quarter of the book. In that way it is wholly American, messy and composed. It is also a terribly ambiguous story. For all of the caricatures and pageantry, it is a very ambiguous book, just at the semi-threatening prelude would suggest, definitely the most neutral book I’ve ever read, and I’ve read six of those things.
Starbucks Corporation is a multinational coffee and coffeehouse chain company based in the United States. Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, with 8,505 company-owned and 6,506 licensed stores in 42 countries, making a total of 15,011 stores worldwide. Starbucks sells drip brewed coffee, espresso-based hot drinks, other hot and cold drinks, snacks and items such as mugs and coffee beans. Through its Starbucks Entertainment division and Hear Music brand, the company also markets books, music, and film. Many of these products are seasonal or specific to the locality of the store. Starbucks brand ice cream and coffees are also sold at grocery stores.
Secondly, it addresses how we think and feel about ourselves and circumstances in the present, and
From what I have learned so far about lean, which is likely just grazing the surface of the concept, there are a few activities in my everyday life that are easy to examine through the context of lean processes. One activity in particular, making coffee for myself, straddles the line in having elements that are in line with the lean ideals, and parts that are completely contradictory to the concepts introduced in this class. I drink a lot of coffee at home, and have tried many different ways of preparing coffee for myself. The way I currently am settled on is brewing a pot at a time, pouring it into a mason jar, and putting the jar in the fridge to cool down. I do this because I only drink iced coffee, and pouring hot coffee directly over ice causes it to quickly become diluted and watered-down (ends up with a very weak taste). By refrigerating the brewed coffee, I can enjoy a cup of perfectly chilled drip whenever I feel like it, without having to make the coffee stronger to counteract the dilution of melting ice. On the other hand, brewing a whole pot in advance violates the main principle of lean, reducing waste, because I am creating a large WIP inventory before it is needed (I am never sure if I am actually going to drink the entire chilled pot before it goes bad, so I am likely overproducing), it is waiting in the fridge until I need a cup (goes against the “pull” method), and it has a large setup time (I have to get a filter, place it, fill it with grounds, fill the maker with water, wait for the brew to finish, find a mason jar…). In contrast, I used to use a Keurig machine, which fixes a lot of those issues. With the Keurig machine, coffee is made just-in-time, so a cup of coffee is not made until I need it. This also enc...

Late afternoon sun spills its warmth over the crowded neighborhood watering hole. A thirsty herd anxiously assembles in a semi-circle to await their souvenir. Carefully, they stake out their territory avoiding eye contact. Any sudden disruption could incite major pandemonium. The rich aroma of their reward teases their senses, prolonging their torment. Just then, a sudden flash of movement sends the gathered party on high alert. With mouths watering, a race to pounce is on. Suddenly, a voice fills the air. “Grande skinny Caramel Macchiato,” the barista behind the counter declares. He leaves the creamy concoction on display to be collected. The recipient, a small frenzied woman juggling her shopping bags, retrieves her beverage. She sprints towards the exit only pausing to enjoy her first sip. Another customer, working a smart phone, quickly replaces her spot in the procession. This series of events continues throughout the day. A visit to Starbucks is much more than buying a cup of coffee. A step inside will delight your senses and satisfy cravings. Furthermore, Starbucks offers people a chance to interact with their community. It is a window into the workings of our modern day society.
At the end of the work day, the tasks that I scheduled for tomorrow include: meeting with the Community College Professor to discuss an internship opportunity for students and to meet with the President to develop a long term strategy for the investors

Instant coffee was an invention made in the 1890s by David Strang. Instant coffee has been improved over the years by many other scientists. What makes this coffee instant is the powder state it’s in. The purpose of this invention is to make making coffee easier and quicker. When you are in a rush in the morning you want to be able to get coffee without the expense, time and still get great tasting coffee. This is why instant coffee was made.
The coffee shop I decided to do my observation was the well known Starbucks just a couple blocks away. The reason I chose this coffee shop was because of it 's style inside, it attracted me. For example, one side of the wall has a glass top, and the lower part of the wall, made of wood and painted in a bright red color, which was one thing that attracted me and stood out. Outside of the shop people can actually see through the glass wall and get to see what’s happening inside of the coffeeshop. By the entrance you see these two red ceiling lamps which were shaped in a flower bud and these two tall green plants. Once you were in, on the right of the shop there was a counter with food and things to put in your drinks such as milk, sugar, chocolate, etc and the colors and how the food was displayed and served was appealing to my eyes. Behind that counter there was a long table with different electronic devices plugged into the wall. On the middle of the those there is a fridge just for ice and when I turned to the other side and I noticed a big menu on the wall. Further more into the shop, there was an area filled with tables, chairs, and sofas. The tables were in different shapes, one was round and the others rectangular, also there was four bamboo baskets and I looked around and noticed that the walls in that area were decorated with paintings.
