Netflix has announced a That '70s Show spin-off titled That '90s Show.

The sitcom followed the lives of teenage friends in a fictional town in Wisconsin and its cast included Topher Grace, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.

It originally ran from 1998 to 2006.

The spin-off will be overseen by original series creators Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner, while cast members Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp are also returning.

Both stars will serve as executive producers, Netflix said.

That '90s Show is set in Wisconsin in 1995 and follows Leia, daughter of Grace's Eric and Laura Prepon's Donna.

That '90s Show will be a 10-episode series, Netflix said.

That '70s Show launched the careers of its young cast, who went on to have varying degrees of success in Hollywood.

Kutcher, 43, and Kunis, 38, became major stars and are now married with two children together.

It also starred Danny Masterson, Wilmer Valderrama and Lisa Robin Kelly.

Masterson, 45, is currently awaiting trial on allegations of rape in Los Angeles.

The more serious side of specialty coffee

While the taste of beans and freshness of roast is paramount to the specialty coffee scene, so is sustainability and workers’ rights.

The bulk of genuine specialty coffee companies aim to improve on these elements in every stage of production via direct relationships with farmers. For instance, Mokha 1450 on Al Wasl Road strives to work predominantly with women-owned and -operated coffee organisations, including female farmers in the Sabree mountains of Yemen.

Because, as the boutique’s owner, Garfield Kerr, points out: “women represent over 90 per cent of the coffee value chain, but are woefully underrepresented in less than 10 per cent of ownership and management throughout the global coffee industry.”

One of the UAE’s largest suppliers of green (meaning not-yet-roasted) beans, Raw Coffee, is a founding member of the Partnership of Gender Equity, which aims to empower female coffee farmers and harvesters.

Also, globally, many companies have found the perfect way to recycle old coffee grounds: they create the perfect fertile soil in which to grow mushrooms.
