The Queen Of England And Ronald Reagan.



CLICK ON HER ROYAL MAJESTY

The Queen of England apparently likes coffee with caffeine and President Reagan drank decaf according to this little video clip. We can also see former first lady Nancy Reagan and former President Ford at this little tea party with coffee. I wonder what their reaction would have been if they had been served some Mr. English coffee. I have no idea as to what they were drinking other than it was caffeinated or decaffeinated but in those days that was about the only amount of thought put in to a cup of coffee. If people actually received a cup of coffee that really tasted good they thought it was an extraordinary event.









CLICK ON BONZO BEFORE HIS BEDTIME

I remember the day that Ronald Reagan was elected president of the United States was the day my late father quit drinking. He said that Ronald Reagan was a great actor and quite comical in shows such as Bed Time For Bonzo but the idea of an actor being elected president was really shocking for him. President Reagan had many supporters and detractors alike. I always support my president whether they be democrat or republican as they are the president. That doesn't mean I have to vote for them, though, the next time around. I think that if president Reagan were still alive that he would be very proud of Americans for electing President Obama. That surely doesn't mean he would have voted for him.



CLICK ON HER MAJESTY

The final last sentence of this video is incredibly interesting. It's a comment by Queen Elizabeth and it is almost as though she could look into the future and see this day in time 2009. The comment interested me so much that I ended up watching this clip more than several times. It's truly a must see. I definitely wouldn't have wanted what they were serving up in that silver pot though. I can't tell if it was silver but I imagine it could have been so. Stainless steel acidifies coffee quite enough. I shudder to think of what even a few minutes in sterling silver would do the coffee.

Link to famous coffee quotes.



CLICK ON THE QUOTATION MARKS TO GO TO A VERY INTERESTING INDEX OF FAMOUS COFFEE QUOTES.

I have no way to verify to the authenticity of the following link but most of them seem plausible and quite interesting as well. I especially like the one by Abraham Lincoln who seems to be a role model for President Obama. "If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee." President Obama says he rarely drinks coffee and yet he always quotes President Lincoln. If he really wants to follow in President Lincoln's footsteps and lead the U.S. and the world to financial prosperity and peace again then maybe he too should drink coffee rather than tea. Surely, he'll need all of the energy he can get in the days ahead as he tries to pull the world economy out of the abyss. Maybe people including myself should stop complaining and start helping. Waking up in the morning up with a cheery cup of coffee won't save the world economy but it will help because coffee is the second largest traded commodity next to oil. It's surely a lot better for you and coffee plantations are definitely not the cause of global warming either.

Behind those dark sunglasses it's hard to guess what kind of coffee Sharon Stone is drinking. If I were to guess I would have to think she took her coffee black. If I remember correctly one of her films that she filmed with Michael Douglas was one of the first main stream blockbuster hollywood movies to have two movie icons actually giving a spring performance of the birds and the bees. The name of the movie slips my mind but it definitely woke me up and I wasn't even roasting or drinking coffee.

U.S. Secretary of State likes coffee black or with cream but has trouble using coffee machines.



CLICK ON SECRETARY OF STATE CLINTON TO GET AN IDEA OF HER TENACITY WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING WHAT SHE WANTS.

Hillary's husband president Clinton is also renowned for the voraciousness of his coffee appetite. I guess he needs a lot of energy for his extracurricular nightly activities.

The following is a true story obtained originally from the U.S. embassy in Tokyo.

A true story from the Japanese Embassy in US: Prime Minister Mori was given some basic English conversation training before he visited Washington and met with President Bill Clinton. The instructor told Mori" Prime Minister, when you shake hands with President Clinton, please say 'how are you'.

Then Mr Clinton should say "I am fine, and you?" Now you should say 'me too'. Afterwards we, translators, will do all the work for you." It looks quite simple.

But the truth was:

When Mori met Clinton, he mistakenly said "Who Are You?". Mr Clinton was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor: "Well, I am Hilary's husband, ha ha..." Then Mori replied confidently "Me too, ha ha ha.."

Then there was a long silent moment in the meeting room.

Below more miscellaneous info. as to the coffee likes and dislikes of famous politicians. President Obama says he rarely drinks coffee. He should definitely try Mr. English Coffee. It is a lot healthier than smoking cigarettes. And it won't set a bad example for his lovely daughters and billions of other precious children, either. He's absolutely going to need all the energy he can muster to clean up all of the mess his predecessors left him with. A great cup of coffee gourmet specialty would be a great morning White House pick me up and give him something to look forward to when his mind starts wandering towards puffing on a cancer stick. He is now the president of the United States of America for the next four years and all true Americans must really try their best to accept him and help him in his presidency even if they didn't vote for him. At least he's not trying to change the constitution like they did down in Venezuela and proclaim himself president for life. It's time for all real Americans to stop complaining in the negative and to start doing in the positive. Mr. English is roasting coffee for not only the rich and famous people of the world but all of the people of the world. That's our contribution to help out and make things a little better. It's a small thing but imagine what the world would be like if the only coffee choices were co's like Starbucks, Mcdonalds, Peets, Folgers, Maxwell House, Sanka, and Dunkin Donuts etc.. Well, those are all great choices for people who don't understand what real specialty gourmet coffee tastes like but for the few that have already partaken in the sweet precious nectar of a real cup of coffee life would just not have the same meaning without the small micro roasters around the globe like Mr. English coffee who think of more than just profit, profit, profit. But first and foremost consider fairness, aroma, and taste. Profit is just an incidental that is needed to continue doing business, never something that is the driving force of the co. Small and local is good for the many. Global and Mega is only a path to eventual destruction of anything except selfish profit for a few.

On the December 14 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer cited a December 12 Associated Press article, in which the presidential candidates answered questions about their coffee preferences, part of the AP's "series of questions about [the candidates'] personal side," and announced, "[L]ook at this -- Hillary Clinton is a flip-flopper. Sometimes she takes it black, sometimes with cream." Yet, Blitzer had offered no characterization of either Rudy Giuliani's or Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) coffee preferences, noting only "Giuliani prefers low-cal sweetener, any brand will do" and "McCain is fond of cappuccino, or coffee with cream and sugar."

The December 12 AP article, in its entirety:

Hold the sugar.

Presidential candidates who drink coffee prefer artificial sweetener or no sweetener, for the most part.

AP asked candidates a series of questions about their personal side. Today's question is about what they take in their coffee. The answers:

DEMOCRATS:

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: Sometimes black, sometimes with cream

Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards: Doesn't drink it

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama: Black, but rarely drinks it

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: Cream

REPUBLICANS:

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani: Splenda, Sweet'n Low or Equal, whichever is available

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: Splenda

Arizona Sen. John McCain: Cappuccino or coffee with cream and sugar

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney: Doesn't drink it, has been known to have hot chocolate

Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson: Cream

From the December 14 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:

BLITZER: Let's take a campaign coffee break right now. The Associated Press asked the presidential candidates how they like their coffee. Take a look at this:

Rudy Giuliani prefers low-cal sweetener, any brand will do. Mike Huckabee is more specific; he likes Splenda. John McCain is fond of cappuccino, or coffee with cream and sugar. Fred Thompson says "cream, please." Bill Richardson: also a cream kind of guy.

Barack Obama takes it black, but says he rarely drinks coffee. John Edwards says "no thanks," he doesn't drink the stuff. And on this issue -- look at this -- Hillary Clinton is a flip-flopper: Sometimes she takes it black, sometimes with cream.

PRESIDENT BUSH SENIOR THROWS UP ON PRIME MINISTER MIYAZAWA IN 1992





CLICK ON THE UPPER LEFT PRESIDENT BUSH TO READ AN ARTICLE OF HIM THROWING UP ON OR NEAR THEN PRIME MINISTER Miyazawa. JAN 9th, 1992. CLICK ON THE LOWER RIGHT PRESIDENT BUSH TO SEE A SMALL CLIP OF THE ACTUAL EPISODE PLUS A LITTLE BIT OF ADDED COMEDY TOWARDS THE END. EVERYBODY HAS PUBLICLY HUMILIATING AND EMBARRASSING MOMENTS IN THEIR LIVES. EVEN MR. ENGLISH.

Yesterday I posted a video of the Japanese Finance minister, Shoichi Nakagawa, who slightly slurred his words at a G-7 summit because of possible exhaustion, fatigue, cold medcine, or a combination of. I also made comments that he had better drink coffee rather than wine in a joking way. Today in face of worldwide humiliation and non stop mass media coverage he has resigned. His resignation is regrettable and sad, too. Whether he was a good, great or terrible finance minister is not the point but what is is that the world is ever unforgiving and extremely lacking in its ability of common and decent compassion. In pursuit of this often missing fairness and compassion I have removed the video link to this small but personally embarrassing matter for him and wish him a happy life in his retired political career. This is a very small gesture on my part but necessary considering the circumstances. I also offer a personal apology on my part to Mr. Nakagawa for posting what I thought was an amusing video of a politician taking a cat nap. There is nothing amusing in his resignation and I take no personal pleasure from it whatsoever. I had mentioned in the comments of the posting of this clip that he shouldn't feel to bad considering that former president Bush senior threw up on the lap of then prime minister Miyazawa. I'm sure at the time president Bush was likewise extremely embarrassed, luckily for him they didn't have You Tube to instantaneously broadcast images of it around the world. It was reported in the news but it really wasn't paid all that much attention to. I still think that he'd better drink Mr. English Coffee but that is besides the matter.

Meg Ryan is sleepless in Japan because she's drinking instant coffee.




I don't know if Meg Ryan is really drinking this instant Nescafe or just advertising it. Starbucks opened up in Japan just after her hit movie with Tom Hanks "Sleepless in Seattle". Because this movie was incredibly popular in Japan with young women and featured ever so many shots of Starbucks in the movie it was perfect timing when they opened their first stores in Japan shortly after the movie's release. Many stories were featured about Starbucks in the Mass Media as well and for awhile Starbucks was an instant success. The existing large Japanese Mega coffee co.'s were caught off guard by the newcomers instant popularity. Overtime though as they developed new themed cafes they are slowly regaining market share. Starbucks is still growing in Japan but it doesn't look as though they are going to end up with the same dominance that they did in the U.S. of the Japanese market. Nevertheless, Starbucks is here to stay in Japan unlike other fads and talent that come and go.

Madonna drinks frappacino?




It's really hard to tell by the picture whether Madonna is drinking a Peets Frappacino or a Starbucks coffee slop shake. But it definitely looks like some kind of coffee blended drink. It's quite interesting the amount of people who like to carry their coffee with them in take out cups. It's almost as if they are going through life as one giant movie with popcorn in hand. The origins of the takeout culture date back to the world fair in Saint Louis in 1904. They needed to keep people moving rather than sitting in one place because the logistics of trying to provide tables and seating for the large numbers of attendees were astronomical. Everything was designed as much as possible to make it portable and easy to carry so that people could walk around looking at the events while eating and drinking rather than sitting and relaxing as was the norm. This was the beginning of our modern day walk away culture. Rather than sitting in a cafe for a few minutes and relaxing while drinking our favorite beverage many prefer to take it out in a paper or plastic cup so they can sip on it while they are also trying to operate their motor vehicle, use their cell phone, and play with their car stereo all at the same time. Then when they are finished with their drink they have to remember to take the throw away cup out of their car when they park otherwise the next time they get in with another cup they will have trouble because there is still an empty one in the cup holder.

Katie Holmes drinking Peet's Coffee.




The above picture is of Katie Holmes wife of Tom Cruise leaving a West Hollywood Peet's coffee. She obviously looks like she's either pregnant or Peets is selling California Watermelons and she just stole one under her blouse. She has two cups in hand. One of the cups could be imagined is for her husband Tom Cruise and one for herself. For the sake of her baby I hope she is drinking an herbal tea. If she is drinking decaffeinated coffee she shouldn't buy it at Peets because they use the cheaper decaf beans that are decaffeineated using a chemical process. They claim it is water process but it isn't actually the all natural Swiss Water Process used my Mr. English Coffee but rather Select Water Process which involves the use of Methyl Chloride in the decaffeination process. According to Swiss Water Corporation in Canada Peets hasn't purchased real Swiss Water Process for some years.

And what about Tom's brushed stainless steel thermos. Don't katie and tom want their child to grow up in a cleaner world. Why didn't she bring his green stainless cup to buy his coffee at Peet's. Maybe she was in a hurry to eat some pickles with mustard and chocolate sauce.

Tom Cruise's $2,000 coffee cup




There's a brazilian auction site trying to auction off this coffee cup supposedly discarded by Tom Cruise on a recent vacation with his wife Katie Holmes. They auction is asking around $2,000. No word yet as to whether anyone actually bought the cup or not but if someone would pay $2,000. for a disposable cup used once imagine how much they would pay for his brushed stainless thermal mug undoubtedly used many times. I wonder why he didn't bring his stainless mug with him on vacation. Is Tom only a convenient suto green guy?

Tom Cruise and Top Coffee









Here's a picture of Tom Cruise going somewhere and drinking something. It's a coffee thermos cup but there's no knowing if it has hot coffee in it or a banana smoothie with protein powder. It is really nice to see that he is trying to be green, though, and that he is not using a paper cup. This type of brushed stainless steel cup is okay for hot coffee for short periods of time but they shouldn't be washed out very much just a quick rinse after each use. Letting the coffee oils build up inside helps protect the delicate acids in the coffee from the reacting with the steel. I think the best thermoses are glass lined for storing coffee but there don't seem to be any glass lined thermos cups. In any case Mr. Cruise looks like he is on the go going somewhere. Maybe he's filming his new Arabica thriller "Top Coffee" and the coffee cup he's holding is one of his props. It sure would be nice if someone would send him some fresh roasted Mr. English Coffee beans so that he could experience something new and unique. I wonder if he drinks coffee or even really cares about what it tastes like. Even in exclusive affluent community gourmet grocery stores where most of the rich and famous shop the coffee is usually stale. I'm always surprised at how such stores can sell the finest wines costing thousands of dollars a bottle. Little bottles of olive oil that are so expensive they have to kept locked up in little glass cases and yet when it comes to coffee they usually have the mass market commercial likes of Peets or Starbucks that have been sitting around for what seems to be a century getting stale and rancid. Then people actually buy this coffee, drink it, and end up with a stomach ache from all of the rancid acid. At which point they put more and more milk in their coffee thinking that this will protect their delicate stomachs from all of that nasty coffee acid. I seriously doubt if they were to buy a smashed wrotten tomato that upset their stomach that they would ad milk to it to protect their stomach from it's putridness and yet that is exactly what happens in regards to stale coffee that has been sitting on the shelf of the most exclusive markets in Beverly Hills, Malibu, Laguna Beach, etc. In the case of Mr. English Coffee we don't even believe in stocking it in a supermarket unless the local vendor is willing to regard it as a perishable item in the line of a fruit or vegetable that has to be closely monitored for freshness.

Marilyn Monroe and Mr. Coffee






Well we may never know what Marilyn monroe drank for coffee or Mr. Coffee, Joe Dimagio because it is hard to ask someone who has gone on to their after life if they drank coffee let alone what kind of coffee was their favorite. I'm assuming Mr. Coffee used a Mr. Coffee maker in his house but Mr. English Coffee Roasting Co. wasn't established until the early 1990's so I'm sure he wasn't drinking Mr. English Coffee in his Mr. Coffee Maker. No matter how many times I correct people they continue to call me Mr. Coffee even though the name of my co. is Mr. English Coffee Roasting co. I've also been referred to as Mr. English and The Coffee Guy.

The following article details a little information about the history of Mr. Coffee (Joe Dimagio) and a little bit about his relationship with Marilyn Monroe. For any those of you who don't know of Joe Dimagio he was one of the worlds greatest baseball players of all time and I like to think a really great person as well.


www.mre-coffee.com

Japanese-www.mre-coffee.jp





Joe DiMaggio had been out of baseball for nearly 25 years when he
stepped onto Madison Avenue. But with his distinctive voice, handsome
face and stylish personality, the Yankee Clipper proved as adept at
pitching a product as he was at hitting and catching a baseball.

DiMaggio, who died Monday at age 84, played a lead role with the
star-studded New York Yankees from 1936 to 1951. But the celebrated
center fielder limited his commercial career to endorsement deals with
Mr. Coffee and New York’s former Bowery Savings Bank. Later in life, the
Hall of Famer rebuffed products such as hair dye, joking to one hopeful
deal maker that he didn’t have any dentures in need of cementing.





Just as DiMaggio knew which pitches he could hit, he knew which
products to pitch. Whether praising the savings bank’s security or
lauding Mr. Coffee’s brew as the “best I’ve ever tasted,” he hit an
advertising home run with consumers.

He was an athlete who commanded respect instead of just attention,”
said Jed Pearsall, president of Performance Research, a Newport,
R.I.-based sports marketing consulting firm. “Spokesmen were more trusted
than they now are … and people believed in his products. Now, though,
consumers are cynical enough to know that athletes don’t really care
about what they’re endorsing.”





www.mre-coffee.com

Japanese-www.mre-coffee.jp



DiMaggio didn’t invent the role of athlete as pitchman. Baseball
players had been pitching everything from cigarettes to automobiles. When
DiMaggio hooked up with Mr. Coffee and the Bowery bank in the early
1970s, football star Joe Namath was selling pantyhose and Miller Brewing
Co. had begun recruiting retired jocks for its memorable “Tastes great,
less filling” campaign.

But he’s credited with single-handedly making Mr. Coffee synonymous
with coffee makers and helping Bowery defend its New York turf against
deep-pocketed competitors. And DiMaggio had an instinct for associating
himself with brands consumers could trust.









Joe DiMaggio could have done all the commercials in the world,” said
Mr. Coffee founder and former chairman Vincent Marotta. “But if the
product wasn’t any good, it wouldn’t have mattered.”

Seal of Approval

With 10 American League pennants, nine World Series titles and the
eye-popping 56-game hitting streak, DiMaggio had secured his reputation
with older fans already enamored of the first-generation American who
served in the armed forces during World War II. But baseball couldn’t
explain the hero worship by consumers too young to have seen him play.
His status as living legend, marketers say, was cemented by a highly
publicized marriage to Marilyn Monroe, a mention in Ernest Hemingway’s
The Old Man and the Sea” and a serendipitous lyric in the movie
soundtrack for “The Graduate.”





www.mre-coffee.com

Japanese-www.mre-coffee.jp


Between Miss Monroe and Mrs. Robinson, this guy was instantaneously
able to cut through the [advertising world] clutter and grant that
instant, Good Housekeeping seal of approval to the coffee maker and the
savings bank,” said Martin Blackman, president of a New York-based
company that has arranged hundreds of sports-celebrity endorsements.

The retired ballplayer who went on television in 1973 to pitch the new
Mr. Coffee machines became Mr. Coffee to many consumers. DiMaggio’s
reputation gave the upstart coffee-machine company from Cleveland the
credibility needed to challenge percolator makers like General Electric
and Proctor-Silex.

The commercials worked because they were believable, Blackman said:
If it had been a vacuum cleaner instead of a coffee maker, no way in the
world would consumers accept as fact that Joe DiMaggio vacuums his own
living room floor.”





Unlike today’s high-stakes sports marketing game, there were no
business agents on hand when Marotta and DiMaggio sat down for lunch at
San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel early in 1973. Marotta had flown to the
West Coast from Cleveland on the spur of the moment to see if DiMaggio
would sign on as celebrity spokesman. “I talked and Joe ate,” Marotta
recalled. “When I got all finished, lo and behold, he puts up his hand
and says, ‘I believe in it.’ I was dumbfounded. I put out my hand and he
shook it.”

DiMaggio went into a television studio once a year to produce a half a
dozen commercials that ran on network television. Mr. Coffee poured $15
million into the annual advertising campaign. DiMaggio “made more money
on Mr. Coffee in a year than he made playing ball,” Marotta said.






www.mre-coffee.com

Japanese-www.mre-coffee.jp


The money was well spent. DiMaggio’s on-screen style was decidedly
wooden, but the Yankee Clipper won over consumers. “Mr. Coffee became a
household word, almost like Hoover,” said Marotta, who sold his Mr.
Coffee interest to an investment firm in 1987. It is now owned by Sunbeam.

DiMaggio blended stories about baseball and banking during a 20-year
span to deliver the same kind of credibility for Bowery Savings, a
long-standing institution that disappeared during the 1990s savings and
loan consolidation. “Here’s a New York bank that’s trying to project
itself as a classy, secure institution,” Blackman said. “And … New
York’s supreme guy puts his money in the Bowery. It worked like a charm.”

Protecting the Legend

In today’s advertising world, deceased actors dance in commercials for
vacuum cleaners and Babe Ruth’s estate earns more than the star earned
while alive. The DiMaggio family undoubtedly will be approached by
marketers eager to use his good name to pitch products.






www.mre-coffee.com

Mr. English Coffee-Japan



The death of a man who clearly savored his privacy “doesn’t diminish
his role in the world or his value … to people interested in using
his image,” said Mark Roesler, chairman of CMG Worldwide, an
Indianapolis-based firm that represents the estates of famous figures
like Monroe, Ruth and James Dean. Over the years, DiMaggio’s relationship
with Monroe has prompted “lots of interest” among marketers, Roesler
said, “but we’ve always been very careful to respect the privacy that Mr.
DiMaggio wanted in that regard.”

Blackman is betting that surviving family members will maintain the
privacy that the Yankee Clipper enjoyed during life. “If I were
DiMaggio’s lawyer, knowing his personality, I wouldn’t allow the use of
the name for anything,” Blackman said. “And that’s just going to add to
the myth.”

Coffee with the Stars.






It looks like the paper cup is the way to go for the famous. Now, I don't really know, maybe they get up and drink the finest coffee in the world in nice china in their large mansions and then pop in later to Starbucks, Peets or the like to be seen. I wish I could find out if there are any famous people in the world that drink great coffee. I wonder what it is like being a worker in one of these places when someone like Eddie Murphy walks in. I wonder if the workers are allowed to acknowledge who he is. Or if they have to pretend that he's just an ordinary Joe getting a cup of himself. Albeit in places like Beverly Hills that the staff in most establishments are probably pretty numb to glitzyness of it all. I wonder how Eddie orders his coffee? "Yo! I'd like a large f....... latte...with some of that caramel sh.. in it b....." Seriously, if I had to make someone like Eddie Murphy a latte it would ,I'm sure, be impossible to keep a straight face. He's quite the comedian and I doubt that he can just turn it off when it comes to ordering his favorite coffee.
