Radar is situated just east of the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado. For many years, Starbucks was the closest place to get a cup of coffee. So, as the neighborhood has gotten more popular a couple of new coffee joints, Allison's and The Laughing Goat, have opened up. Both places have a distinctive local feel, where the owner is the barista, and have gotten a lot of support.
Well, one of my co-workers told me a great story the other day. He was walking out to get coffee at Allison's when he saw a guy starting to drive off with a Starbucks' coffee cup on top of his car. My fellow Radarite whistled at the guy who promptly thanked him and got out of the car to hand him a coupon to Starbucks.
It seems that instead of unintentionally forgetting the coffee cup it was an act in the effort to promote Starbucks.
Great brands, like Starbucks, take it to the street to stay in touch with their customers.
Maybe you could wrap them in paper and crush them with something heavy, like a stone then uwnrap them. You may not get finely ground, but if you don't have access to a grinder this could work. Then your coffee will give you stronger muscles AND put hair on your chest! (Ok, just kidding about the hair )If you wanted them more finely ground, you could try using mortar and pestul (sp?) after crushing them in the paper.
