New York CNN —This Friday is arguably the best day of the year: It’s National Coffee Day. Sixty-seven percent of Americans drink coffee every day — more than any other beverage, including water — according to National Coffee Association (NCA). A recently released NCA report also said that coffee consumption continues to “bounce back” from the Covid-19 pandemic, notably with at-work consumption growing as companies compel their workers return to the office. In fact, enjoying an in-office coffee has “rebounded to pre-pandemic levels” with 36% of Americans participating. People drinking coffee at home are still above their pre-pandemic levels at 82%.

Lowly, Bitter Coffee Bean Seeks Respect from Caffeine Snobs
  + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Jon Emont | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
For decades the lowly Robusta coffee bean has been anathema to many American coffee companies. Though less expensive than the cherished Arabica bean, Robusta has a bitter taste that has been likened to burned rubber. No wonder that Peet’s Coffee notes on its website that Robusta has “never been on the menu,” and that Dunkin doesn’t serve it in the U.S. or most international markets. Starbucks says the bean’s “less refined flavor is absolutely the reason we don’t even touch it.”
CNN Business —Workers who provide food and drinks to travelers at San Francisco International Airport are on strike, seeking what they say would be their first raise in four years. The 1,000 strikers are members of Unite Here Local 2, a Bay Area union with 15,000 members. The airport workers work under a multi-employer joint labor agreement that covers 30 different employers spread among 84 different locations at the airport. Airport management, which is not a party to the talks, issued a statement apologizing to passengers for any inconvenience. There is now a higher minimum wage of $19.15 an hour for jobs on city-owned properties, which includes the airport, but these union workers are still under the 2018 contract.
