doxology

Well, my fellow Followers of the Bean, I have been converted. Yes, once I too fell in lock step with others who follow the Starry Way...Bucksters if you will.

But, no. I know I've been changed.

For $2.45 I purchased a great cup of coffee and a buttermilk donut. Life is grand. God is good in all of God's java-y goodness.

Praise God from whom all java flows.
Praise God all commuters here below.
Praise God above, ye caffeinated host,
Praise Java Bean and donut holes!
Amen.

They make dang good coffee.

Also, I saw a comercial last night for their espresso drinks, and saw the fair trade logo.

Dunkin Donuts uses exclussively fair trade espresso for their drinks. The only major chain to do so.

I didn't know they were fair trade. Do they brew fair trade also, or is it just their espresso?

for right now, it looks like only their espresso drinks

One more reason to drink at your neighborhood fair-trade coffee shop (where everybody knows your name) — Cafe Express on Main St., for instance.

But DD selling fair-trade espressos is a very good thing, and maybe if we encourage them they'll go all the way for regular brewed coffee.
