The celebratory bells were ringing today at the Java Post Production office in honour of a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. Okay, the bells were actually our General Manager, Karen Plumb shouting "Ding Ding Ding!," and the once-in-a-lifetime occurrence was the official serving on the 15,000th cup of coffee from the Java Post office cappuccino machine. Fittingly enough, the lucky person to…
