  • Keep it integrated. So clean, so smooth!
  • External! Integrated version is too small!
  • I like it integrated.. but it's too small. What if we removed the left sidebar?

TX-Coffee.com Sold to Starbucks (April Fools!)

That’s right, folks.

I’m sorry to say, that we’ve sold the domain and intellectual property of Texas Coffee People to Starbucks Coffee Co.

The sale is effective as of today. You can expect the list of roasters and retailers to be replaced by Starbucks locations in the state of Texas, and the articles to pertain to the ideals of automated espresso brewing, and why lattes are not free-poured.

Don’t be sad, we made out like bandits in the deal!

I hope you can be happy for us, and we feel like this is a big step in coffee’s progress. Starbucks is just in a position that is highly influential on a much larger scale than we could ever have hoped for on our own.

Just consider it as the torch of our vision handed off to a goddess of the sea, sprinkled with a little copper sulphate, and the fire spread across the state via wind and dry grass.

We’ve had a lot of fun. Thanks for sticking with us for so long.

And also, happy April Fool’s Day.
