Home / Cafe Culture / CoffeeKid.comThis site review was from March 2000.
Name: CoffeeKid.com A Great Non-Commercial Site!INeedCoffee.com started last year primarily for two different reasons. The first reason was the love of coffee. The second was a frustration that every non-corporate coffee site on the Internet looked awful and had little or no useful information. That was April 1999. Fast forward to March 2000 and an awesome personal coffee site has surfaced. That site is CoffeeKid.com by Mark Prince. Mark Prince is an accomplished web designer as well as a coffee guru. Trust me when I say that this is a rare combination. 
Excellent DesignVisitors of the site will notice the friendly, hand-drawn graphics of coffee equipment which are used for both the logo and the navigation. Also eye-catching is the excellent use of photographs to accent the articles and tutorials. I wish I could get the INeedCoffee photos to come out as sharp looking as CoffeeKid.com. The colors and fonts are consistent throughout the site, which is a rarity in non-commercial sites. As proud as I am of the INeedCoffee design, Coffee Kid is the best coffee related web site design today. ObsessionsThe subtitle to the CoffeeKid.com site is "A coffee lover's obsession site." No description could be more accurate. The site features articles, photo tutorials on different aspects of brewing, home roasting information, and even a story section. CoffeeKid also has a section for equipment reviews. The reviews are written by users that own the product. This is an excellent resource for any coffee consumer. SummaryThe average, non-commercial, coffee-enthusiast web site is usually an ugly site with a list of dead links Not CoffeeKid.com. CoffeeKid is the best designed coffee site on the Internet. Excellent graphics, sharp photography, informative tutorials, and a growing section of coffee equipment reviews for the consumer. INeedCoffee is proud to award the March 2000 Site of The Month award to CoffeeKid.com. |
