Dunkin' Run
Lovely site and associated iPhone app from Dunkin Donuts: Social software to organize your coffee run.
Current status: Craving a “large regular” and a bacon & egg bagel sandwich.

BBC NEWS | Coffee 'no boost in the morning'
“The work […] showed only people who have avoided coffee for a while will get a buzz from caffeine.” I’ll say. I accidentally had caffeinated coffee for the first time in months last night, and I’m still buzzing.

Bostonist: Diesel Spreads to Union
Fantastic news — Diesel Cafe’s owners are opening a new coffee shop in Union Square. There hasn’t been a caffeine + wifi place within walking distance of my house since the Grand Coffeehouse shut down.

‘Best’ of Boston?
This is odd. Dunkin Donuts cups currently proclaim that they were awarded a "Best of Boston" award by Boston Magazine this year. However, a search of the Best of Boston site finds no such win.
In fact, it appears that the "award" was merely a corporate agreement to use the cup on the magazine cover.
I love DD as much as the next New Englander, but since the "Best of Boston" usually _means_ something (unlike some other awards, which just rank which business did the best job getting their customers to ballot-stuff), it seems massively lame to whore the title this way.

A ‘smooth, creamy coffeehouse classic’, apparently
Or, alternatively, half-a-mug of piss-weak, nastily artifically-sweetened, CoffeeMate-crammed brownwater. The rather disappointing result of trying a HomeCafe "frothy cappuccino" pod.
I got the coffee machine for free from BzzAgent, but I still feel ripped-off. I'll stick with my Senseo, thanks.

Darwin's Ltd.
Attention Cantabrigians. Darwin’s has a new-ish store in Inman Square. Rather sadly, the highlight of my day at an old job was getting to Darwin’s for one of their superbly flavourful sandwiches.

Caffeinated convenience
Hurrah for Stop & Shop, who have now added cupholders to their trolleys.
