Coffee as a career?

Part of my daily routine is to get a coffee in the morning--Many of you know (despite the fact I am a Washingtonian/Seattleite), I am not a huge fan of Starbucks, so Bucky's usually isn't part of the weekly coffee "circuit." However, many of you don't know that there is a new coffee joint on campus (Vida Coffee Co.) across the street from the Rec Center.  A cup of joe there is not too shabby, but don't take my word for it, check it out yourself!

Anyway, I happened to find a coffee industry magazine there this morning and couldn't put it down.  First, most of the articles were accompanied by beautiful Central American landscapes or funky NW coffee houses and second, I had no idea how elaborate the coffee biz actually is.

This lead me to start looking up careers in the coffee industry, which is where this blog comes in.  Here are some links to coffee company websites that are hiring:
