Regular visitors to TBTP may know that my most recent obsession has been roasting my own coffee beans. Fortunately it’s a pursuit that’s heartily supported by friends and family who benefit from the hours of exploration and experimentation. While researching all things coffee, I sometimes stumble upon quirky coffee related stuff such as the odd little film below. Good Strong Coffee appears to be a short film created in 1968 to market coffee as a product rather than one specific brand. From what I can gather, the brief film was meant to be shown in British cinemas. Although I haven’t discovered who directed this gem, I don’t doubt that the creator was influenced by Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 Pop-noir film Blow-up and the classic TV show The Prisoner. It’s well worth two minutes of your time for this slice of 60s culture. And if you are a true coffee and/or cinema fan, stay for the feature film Coffee and Cigarettes, Jim Jarmusch’s 2003 cult fave. It’s got Tom Waits, Steve Coogan, Cate Blanchett, Steve Buscemi, Iggy Pop, and Bill Murray.
