Making drip coffee may seem simple enough, but haven't you had coffee from a gas station? It never fails to have a bitter, burnt taste; usually there's non-dairy creamer and a lingering smell of ancient coffee grinds. The more complex cappuccino and latte are harder to master. The more elements involved, the more likely different elements can go wrong. With the spate of chi-chi coffee houses and euro-restaurants, lattes are more popular than ever in the U.S. Every coffee shop and restaurant thinks it can serve a latte.

While Dunkin' Donuts has been a bit longer around the market, being founded in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Although I am not switching back to the Keurig system (because I prefer cold coffee over ice) even after I have learned about how it is a more lean system, I still think it is important that I at least learned why and how it is more lean.

Most people think a good way to store coffee is in the freezer, but that results in your coffee absorbing moisture or leaving your coffee exposed to oxygen in the bag. Oxygen and moisture are coffee’s biggest enemies. Another thing you may not know is that coffee expires six days after opened, or up to a maximum of two weeks if the coffee is handled correctly. If you keep your coffee in a cool dry place with the bag unopened your coffee could last up from six months to a year after the batch was cooked.

Creating and Capturing Customer Value: Starbucks Starbucks is the coffee shop I prefer, as for a long time its stores could be found fairly easily in the cities I’ve lived in and visited. They have the ability to capture and maintain customer value through not only their great menu items and service, but in the elaborate rewards program that entices people to spend more at Starbucks, suggesting food items or different beverage options through their web and mobile app interface, luring customers away from competitors.
