| Cafe Culture | Alex's Worst Cup of Coffee Ever | Alex Scofield |
| | My love of coffee is partially a taste for the gourmet, and partially a need for caffeine. Caffeine cravings prevent me from being 100 percent uppity about coffee quality - in a pinch, I'll drink mass-market or fast-food coffee that would make some of my INeedCoffee colleagues retch. | |

| Cafe Culture | My Worst Cup of Coffee Was My First Cup of Coffee | Michael Allen Smith |

| Cafe Culture | Searching for the Perfect Cup | Rick Abbott |
| | I am a user. I became dependent about at the age of 17 when making a long commute to college on a bus. I knew that I need a little something to help me through the day and so I started using. At first I thought that I could handle it, then it got out of control. | |
| Cafe Culture | So, You Love Coffee, Right?? | Mike Walton |
| | Since ten, I have been drinking coffee. I started out by drinking my mom's coffee after filling the cup with sugar and milk to create some kind of mocha chocolate milk drink. Later as I got older, I developed a taste for coffee with Coffeemate and sugar. Or with maple syrup. Or with Pet condensed milk. | |

| Coffee Business | Why We Hate Starbucks | Sebastian Little |
| | Starbucks (like Microsoft just across Lake Washington) is in the paradoxical position of enjoying market supremacy and broad disdain at the same time. From labor issues to fair trade to 'promoting homosexuality' to charges of homogenization they are under constant scrutiny and criticism. | |
