CICR’s Last Blog Post of the Decade…
Well, the Holidays are upon us! It’s been a crazy (in a good way), busy year and we’ve be extremely blessed and fortunate. We’ve enjoyed a lot of success in spite of the current economy. The farmers that we support have been able to feel our success as well. Our loyal, prosumers have given us a lot to be thankful for and have blessed us beyond what we could have ever hoped for.
As the end of the year (or as the title suggests – decade) is upon us, we all wanted to give our most heartfelt “Thank You” to our customers. Without your constant support and without your passion for great coffee and doing great things for others, we’d not be here today.
We hope your Holidays have been and continue to be blessed and full of family and loved ones.
Happy Holidays!
From: Your CICR family

Shipping Organic, Sustainable Coffee Globally!
When we chat with our coffee prosumers about various places that we ship our coffee to, we’re met with a lot of intrigue. While our Coffee Lover’s Club is currently only shipped to the United States, we ship larger quantities of coffee globally as well! Sure, we purchase coffee from different countries around the world, but we also SELL coffee to many countries as well.
Recently, we sent a shipment to Japan and thought it’d be fun to post a couple pictures for you to see. This order, while a little smaller than some, was a fun one to fulfill at 3000lbs. Strictly Seattle, KK in Japan has been purchasing coffee from us for years. They serve our espresso at their high end restaurants as well as their coffee shops throughout Japan. Japan is one of the many countries that we send our organic coffee to. You can also find our coffee in Honduras, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China, and Ecuador. Of course you can always find it here in the United States of America.
While we don’t ship smaller orders (Coffee Lover’s Club or retail) to countries other than the U.S., we are always looking for good distribution partners to help expand our reach. Through our global reach, we are able to sell more coffee to further our goals of helping these third world farmers. It’s one of our many methods of creating a sustainable business that also helps to create sustainability globally.

If there was ever a time to tell a friend or family member about CICR…
IT IS NOW!
CICR is running a special promotion with local radio station 820AM KGNW to offer the first month of a Coffee Lover’s Club membership at half price. We decided it would be a great time to pass this on to our current customers and social networking followers.
It’s important to note that there is a limited supply of these coupons available so you or your friend will need to act on them soon!
Also, as an extra bonus, for our current customers, we’re also adding our “refer-a-friend” bonus to this deal. They’ll get their first club for only $15.00 and you’ll get a free shipment for bringing them to us. After they sign up, either send us an email or call us at 866-387-JAVA (5282) and let us know. We’ll make sure you don’t have to pay for your next one.

Coffee that will make you move!
I read this article on Engadget and wanted to share it with our Coffee drinkers… it’s funny and a lot of fun to watch.
“A robot barista-filled future may still be a long ways off, but it looks like you may just be answering to a machine of another sort for your coffee sooner than you think — at least if Douwe Egberts has its way. While it’s still a concept, the company’s so-called BeMoved coffee machine promises to finally bring the disparate worlds of hot beverages and motion control together at last, and do nothing short of raise “human interaction with a coffee machine to a higher level” in the process. Because, really, you can never truly feel close to a coffee machine until it’s taunted you to jump up and down to fill your cup of joe. Of course, you can also do some slightly more practical things like tailor your coffee exactly the way you like using the massive touchscreen, and even check up on the weather and news while you wait. No word on any test markets just yet, but folks can apparently check out the concept first-hand at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven this week — or simply head on past the break for a video.”
Engadget is a great blog for the technology geeks out there. The section above in quotes was taken directly from them as a quote. I highly recommend reading their blog and I watch their posts daily.
Enjoy! Dan -- CICR
