Haha, just found this thread in a Google search for "David's Biscotti." Yes, the 10% discount code cf33 is still in effect, 2+ years later. We're still getting in orders with that discount code, from non- CoffeeForums.com members even. Hanging in there, although online business and coffee...

After searching for the best printing company I could find to do our brochures, I decided Jakprints, Inc. had the best quality, reputation, and most competitive pricing. If you need business cards, brochures, letterhead, almost any kind of promotional materials, they do excellent work. It only...

As a thank you to all in the forum who have given me advice and even coffee samples (and got me hooked on the good stuff), I'd like to offer exclusively to Coffeeforums members, the following discounts on our biscotti products: Use coupon code cf33 for 10% off (no expiry and any store item...

In my website builder, there's an option to enter an Iframe into a web page. Any website can be entered into an Iframe; blogs, wordpress, an internet forum, even the page it's in for a weird dual effect. That would be utter nonsense though. I put my cafepress store into an Iframe, directly into...

I'm curious - Is a forum an information only based site, like Wikipedia or Dictionary.com? Is it structured so that people can pop in to get their question answered and pop out, never to be seen again? Or is it a site that can hold it's own, up against member sharing sites like MySpace and...

As someone who aspires to some day own a coffee shop, I'd like to hear about the positives. I've always been a morning person and have always enjoyed drinking coffee. I remember working for an offshore catering company back in the 90's where I'd wake up at 4 a.m. and make sure that all of the...

I thought I'd put this out there for any coffee shops that have or know of a 60 qt. mixer for sale. We currently use a 30qt floor model but need to expand our production a bit. Need: 60 - 80 qt mixer 1 or 3 phase electric We would need the bowl and attachments also if possible, paddle, wire...

I found this cool site that lets you put music to your photos and designs a slideshow for you for free. You get up to a 30 second slideshow free. Here's two that I made: http://animoto.com/play/C2sTOGU5Pt4zucc9h0MO1g http://animoto.com/play/A0yVow9PB8B5QJRc31qkXw

It's a play on words of course. Learning about coffee, almost exclusively through this forum over the last several months, has been especially fun for me. I used to think that my coffee habit was something I had to keep to myself. That it was a gross addiction, somewhat unnatural. Even my...

I just started a merchandise store at Cafepressdotcom. They let you design your own coffee mugs, among other items. I purchased some mugs from them using my business designs and they came out great. I'd recommend them if you don't want to keep an inventory at your place of business. They design...

We've been using Yahoo! Web Hosting for years. They offer the Yahoo! Sitebuilder program for customizing our site. It's easy to learn and use, but customers have to log in to their Yahoo! account before ordering. Most people don't have Yahoo! accounts, so I think this turns many potential...

This question is for coffee shops that buy in roasted beans: Do you go through a local coffee roaster/distributor for your beans or do you choose to buy from an online source? I'm guessing that most of you do roast your own and hoping it's not a bad thing to admit that you don't. Please, pm...

A busy little town, Brattleboro is. It was a Sunday, so parking was free at their underground Main Street location. This coffee shop was just what I had hoped it would be. It is small, a little rugged, but as rich in service as in the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans. I was greeted by a...

Does anyone here use a convection oven for roasting coffee beans? It provides good circulation for even roasting and of course a good exhaust system for venting the smoke. I use a Duke "E" Series convection oven (two actually) for baking. I use perforated baking pans with raised lips and...

Can we get a little order in here? Avatars are getting out of control. What's to prevent anyone from linking an avatar that fills the whole browser window? Could someone implement a max. size requirement? I resize my pics in Paint to reasonable dimensions. Everyone's got Paint, right? Use...

I went through four 8oz cups of Green Mountain Roaster's Kenyan last night. The aroma from the bag was powerful and I knew I was in for a treat. But...... After being dissatisfied with the first cup, I tried making each consecutive cup stronger hoping for a richer flavor. It didn't help any. I...

If only there was a room for recipes............ All I'm finding on the net are the many variations of "espresso" drinks. Also a few liquored down coffee recipes, but there's gotta be more to coffee drinks than adding cream in various forms and froths to espresso. I've read a few interesting...

I haven't seen any European coffee interest in this forum, why is that? I'm torn between using Spanish, Viennese or Italian for a biscotti promo. The obvious might be Italian, but Spanish rocks! Anyway, just looking for some personal opinions from the connoisseurs. Thanks!

I've read (in this forum) that customers are more likely to leave a site if there's too much info. I've also been told from a member here that search engines like a lot of text in a site and you're more likely to be picked up by them. Which is the better advice? Being new to website design...

In case you missed the Yahoo front page this morning, here's an article on a survey done on how customers are treated........ (based on gender?) Can we get some comments on this? http://www.slate.com/id/2177697/nav/tap3/

Where does one look for facts or history info? Is it okay to reference or to quote directly from Wikipedia? Would it be copyright infringement to do so? We know that online info is not always public domain and is sometimes considered intellectual property, for example. I guess the difference...

Hello, I just finished reading some posts about the overuse of AdSense in websites. I thought it was the thing to do, so I tried it for a few weeks. I immediately received some negative remarks, like "it looks cheesy", so I dumped the ads sooner than later. Weird thing too, I couldn't figure out...

In case you didn't see this in Yahoo! and are interested: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071106/lf_ ... affeine_dc

Alison, I'm having a pot of my usual Vienna Espresso Blend, after drinking your coffee for the last week and I must say there's without a doubt a major difference. This is like hot water with almost no flavor and the color isn't even black. With yours I knew I was drinking from good...

I currently use baskets but am considering switching to nice gift boxes, especially for the corporate orders. Something more compact, easier to pack & ship, but still has an ellegant appeal. Does anyone have experience with both? If so, which type sells better? Thanks in advance for your input.

Looking for a good Vienna dark roast. I'm currently paying $6.70/lb. from a local coffee roaster. Is there such a thing as rating a roasting company? I'd be grateful for any info on this. Thanks.

First and foremost, I ask you to forgive my faux pas in not formerly introducing myself. I am Ed and I have a biscotti bakery in Mass. I searched (and still search) for forums as a source of quality related information. I have yet to find one as warm and inviting as this one. I now humbly ask...

I've been drinking coffee most of my life, first thing I look for in the morning. I've never spent time on breakfast, just a couple of cups of java and I'm all set until lunch time. Is it the caffeine that keeps me from feeling hungry in the mornings? I'm sure the caffeine has something to do...

I am eager to send out free biscotti samples to retail coffee shops in and around New England. Is it unorthodox to do so without asking their permission beforehand? Also, would like to get a list of shops to send free biscotti samples, but can't find a good one on the net. Any comments? Thanks...

I currently use fresh crushed espresso beans in my double chocolate espresso biscotti, but I hadn't thought of using whole beans until I just saw a post on chocolate covered espresso beans. Any thoughts? Let me know. Thanks.
