Black Gold on PBS

The documentary film "Black Gold" was broadcast on my local PBS
affiliate. I am not sure if it has gone USA wide or not. The film is
about the global coffee consumption and how coffee production affects
farmers in Ethiopia and the farmers trying to get a fair price for
their coffee.

Odd how it often happens that you hear something and than hear the
same thing again in a short time. Black Gold mentions Peace Coffee, a
roaster in Minneapolis. A new burrito restaraunt opened last week
near me, they have an espresso machine and buy their coffee from Peace
Coffee. The espresso machine looked interesting, I cannot recall what
the name was La-something. It was not a La Marzocco. It has E-61
groups and cool looking buttons that were lit up with a soft blue
glow. One of the employees was telling me about Peace Coffee,
evidently they deliver all of their coffee by bicycle. Cool idea,
bicycle delivery of Fair trade coffee, but is their coffee any
good?

I videotaped the movie and I will have to watch it again, as I
probably missed a few things.
