Coffee…is about politics, survival, the Earth, and the lives of indigenous peoples.
Nobel Laureate Rigoberta Menchu
Worlds within worlds of coffee have to make us think about the choices we make at the supermarket or café.
Actress Susan Sarandon
America's most finicky coffee drinkers tout their caffeine connoisseurship in many ways. Then there are people at the outer edge of the country's java culture who roast coffee beans at home.

The Toba caldera in Sumatra, Indonesia, produced the largest volcanic eruption in the last 2 million years. The caldera, a large, basinlike depression resulting from the explosion or collapse of the center of a volcano, is 30 by 100 kilometers, or about 19 miles by 62 miles, and has a total relief of 1,700 meters or slightly more than 1 mile.
The caldera probably formed in stages: large eruptions occurred 840,000, 700,000 and 75,000 years ago. The most recent produced 2,800 times the eruption volume of the Mount St. Helen’s.http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/features/Toba_Caldera.html
