3. DoggyJava, Coffee to match master' and mistress' taste buds
Consumer research in November 2007 showed acceptance by our doggies of cups of, or should I say "bowls" of, fresh coffee to match our taste buds. The coffee brewer is US-based, and is aptly named "doggyjava". They've won a prestigious award in New Product Innovation. Far away on Crete, I am not sure if that is for marketing to the dogs or humans. The Doggyjava offering is pictured here.
