We are now building a vast library of features
which have appeared in Coffee House.
Frankly, there isn't another coffee trade paper in the world that gives
you a diversity of subjects like this!
But we do have a problem. The archive, up to rebuilding the site, was so darned
big that I really can't face converting all the old stuff to the new style - furthermore, to bring in all the
2004 and 2005 features would take for ever.
What we now have is this :
* Features from Coffee House, January 2004 to date, are listed immediately below. These issues are available on the PDF page,
which is here . By going to the appropriate issue, you get a full PDF of the entire magazine. OK?
* Features prior to January 2004 are now all in a big list at the bottom of this page. (But we don't have a search facility on the site yet, so we
suggest that if you're looking for anything in particular, use your toolbar and go to 'edit' and then 'search' or 'find'. )
