In Rice/Houston coffee news

Diedrich Coffee, the OC-based retailer and wholesaler (known in Houston for its beautiful—now defunct—Westheimer location, which was actually owned by a local Houston franchisee since all Diedrich company-owned stores were sold to Starbucks a couple of months ago), has been selected to provide coffee for the new Fondren Library Pavilion. The Thresher editors are cautiously optimistic and hope the new caffeine stand differentiates itself from the ever-improving Coffeehouse with longer hours (possible) or food (unlikely).
In other news, Shipley’s coffee is still terrible—even worse than the (not dead, just) badly-burned coffee they make here in the departmental kitchen. Bleah.
