Are Topless Coffee Shops The New Business Venture?

If you are looking for a great start-up idea, then you may want to consider a topless coffee shop! There have been several popping up in the past few years, including the one that burnt down in Maine. This topless coffee shop in Maine was seen as a way to potentially revive the stagnant economy in this area, though many of the locals were concerned with having a sleazy clientele.

More interesting, however, is the fact that there were 10 job openings, and over 150 people applied! To be fair, there were a few male servers working there, who were topless as well.

My only question is as to the safety of this job position because I have seen many people working in a coffee shop who have spilled hot Java on themselves and risked getting burned - while wearing shirts! Hopefully this company has some great insurance to ensure that all of their employees are protected from any type of third-degree burns to their bare chests. Either way, this seems to be the business venture of the new millennium, so keep your eyes open for a topless coffee shop near you!

Are Coffee Prices Rising?

Sadly, yes, coffee prices are rising due to economic issues where the cost of coffee and sugar is higher than ever before. Still, we coffee lovers plunge forward and continue to pay for high quality Java, regardless of the cost. A few contributing factors to the rise of coffee prices is because fuel and fertilizer costs are going up, which is affecting coffee farmers. There are also numerous regulation fees that coffee farmers have to pay to produce premium beans, like being Shade Grown, Organic, and Fair Trade. You may be happy to know that even though the price on your cup of Joe is a little steeper than it was before, coffee harvesters are still being protected by Fair Trade regulations, which guarantees them a set wage and allows them to focus on premium and consistent coffee harvesting. Let's just say that this is the time that Americans are focusing more on brewing at home, which I totally love because all coffee brewing options are being explored like never before. So what are you waiting for? Brew budget friendly coffee at home -it just makes sense.

For the best coffee taste, try brewing your Java in the Bodum Chambord 3 Cup Coffee Press, which you can find on my website today!
