Maybe you were sitting on your couch watching โ€œComedians in Cars Getting Coffeeโ€ for the last two days or maybe you were busy at Barista Camp all weekโ€”whatever the case may be, hereโ€™s the latest coffee news you missed in the last seven daysโ€”all in one spot. Itโ€™s like a Jason Dominy bear hug, only thereโ€™s way less scruffiness.

This week, we introduced a brand new team of Sprudge.com city โ€œdeskโ€ writers in NYC, LA, London, and Melbourne. These paid members of the Sprudge.com team will be bringing you the very best in coffee coverage from a roster of cities around the world.

We released the third video in our Symposium Colloquium series: Exploring Plant Pathology With Steve Savage. He attempts to demystify agriculture and shine a light on coffee rust and other plant diseases.

In one of the more surprising โ€œsort-of-related-to-coffeeโ€ news stories of the week, J.C. Penney pulled a kettle from the shelves because of complaints that it โ€œbears striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler.โ€ What do you think? Sound off!

Have you been enjoying these weekly recaps? Do you wish you could be genius behind the pen? Do you think you have what it takes to wrangle up all the wildest coffee news each and every week?

Well thatโ€™s too bad, because thatโ€™s my job.

But if you do have awesome archiving and video skills, Sprudge wants you! Weโ€™re looking for a brand-new intern. Check it out and shoot us a line if youโ€™re interested.
