largest coffee chain, will stop brewing decaffeinated
coffee after noon as part of a drive to save $400 million
by September.     </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601082&sid=aOvUsHxFSAeM"><P>The company, which last year started brewing fresh

Seattle-based company said today in an e-mailed statement.
It takes about four minutes for a fresh cup to brew,

Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz is accelerating a
cost-cutting plan to save $400 million by September from
labor and product expenses. The plan includes brewing
smaller pots of coffee so that less is wasted if it’s not
purchased within the 30-minute time limit.     </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/62E3043E-605A-4B15-BFF8-829D550DA9C6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
