Gold star coffee

Gold star?

I recently saw a news article on the BBC saying that the UK is going to introduce a “gold star standard” for coffee houses. Apparently the idea is to help Brits understand the difference between “coffee” and “espresso”, and to try to educate them as to what a good quality coffee should taste like.

The customers they talked to during the segment made it clear why this was necessary, with such intelligent remarks as, “I don’t know what’s in it, but it tastes good!”. Hmmmm…

Anyway – I’m wondering how I’d go about applying for one of these gold stars! Maybe I could post it on our apartment door. Then the only question would be – how much should I charge per cup?
