The Australian coffee industry has seen a tremendous growth over the years. The stakes are rising and so are the revenues and this $4.3 billion industry is expected to grow by another 2.37% in the next few years (Hefferman, 2015). The coffee industry has in fact, helped the nation make it through the 2012 global economic downturn (Smith, 2012).

Demand, supply and production.
A report made by IBIS World titled ‘Coffee Shops in Australia 2014, describes the nation's fastest growing industry, talking about consumer trends and the sector's projected growth. There has been a huge demand for gourmet coffee and the public’s expectations have increased and although the supply has been generous enough to cause a wave of caffeine addiction through the country, there is still a notable imbalance between the demand and supply. This relationship is expected to improve with increased consumer education and increased production. The states of New South Wales and Queensland have remained the largest producers of high-quality coffee for over a century now and are making constant efforts to improve the production rate even more (Smith, 2016). …show more content…

Since 2012, JAB Holdings acquired other U.S. coffee companies including Caribou Coffee Co, Peet’s Coffee and Intelligentsia, to name a few (Gasparro, 2015).

In Cariboo Café, Helena Maria Viramontes interpolates issues of government brutality, racial discrimination, and mistreatment of illegal immigrants through intertextuality. As an immigrant herself, she supports multiculturalism in her piece by bringing awareness to the issues associated with immigration, which remain unsolved. Viramontes switches between three different character’s perspectives, in a way that enables her to effectively manipulate the audience into feeling the emotions similar to that of an illegal immigrant who is trying to live their life in America. It is through these switches that we first feel confusion and frustration, as we are given little guidance on where we are in the story, or where the story is going to go, due

From Italy’s espresso to Ethiopia’s coffee ceremony, coffee has been an integral part of cultures around the world since its discovery in the 11th century. While U.S. coffee traditions may not be elaborate, a simple cuppa joe (often enjoyed alongside a newspaper, when they were still relevant) is a part of countless Americans’ morning routine. Though the Keurig allows coffee to be easily taken on-the-go, it erases coffee culture: gone are the days of the sensory brewing experience or slow enjoyment. The use of K-Cups also further distances consumers from the source of their coffee and makes it difficult to support the sustainable coffee industry. With K-Cups, it is impossible to know where the beans were grown, an important determinant of flavor, or whether it was done

Qualitative Methods in Social Science Summative Assignment, 2015 7 May 2015 Lifeworld Goes “Glocal” —An Ethnographic Snapshot in a Global Coffee Chain in UK Introduction It is estimated that British people consume approximately 70 million cups of coffee per day (Mintel Coffee UK Report, 2014). Coffeeshop society, however, is something that many of us as customers and/or social theorists take for granted (Laurier, 2001).

For this essay, I spent some time inside a global-chain coffeeshop (which was originally based in USA) covertly observing the whole setting of the venue and the behaviours of consumers.

One way that Costa Rica has hoped to differentiate itself among coffee-growing nations is through the diversity of profiles in its growing regions, despite the country’s relatively small geographical size. The country has found that this one export has changed their country in so many vast ways. Sun-grown coffee plantations are an economically driving force in Costa Rica. The country is dependent upon income received from coffee exports.
