How Important Is the Source? ⇾

I’m a recent subscriber to Ethical Coffee. And where by subscriber, I mean I subscribe to their coffee. Here’s my take on the product and service.

Brew Methods ⇾

A nice list of brewing resources.

AeroPress by Aerobie ⇾

I recently picked up an AeroPress via Tools and Toys. This is a short review — the end result: good coffee.

Cinnamon? ⇾

52 Cups of Coffee ⇾

I have really enjoyed this site over the past months. The premise: the author, Megan Gebhart, has a goal of having one cup of coffee with a new person every week for one year. She then shares the conversation that takes place on her blog.

It’s a heartwarming idea and Megan has a great delivery. Here’s an excerpt from cup 26:

That’s when it hit me, the moment Cup 26 made sense. As the characters in Cheers know, it’s nice to have a place where everybody—or at least somebody—knows your name. Especially in today’s increasingly technological world with self-checkout, pay at the pump, online banking, online shopping, email, etc.

… Jim’s story showed me the power of going out of your way to make a connection with someone—to say hello, to listen.

A girl after my own heart.

Shawn Blanc on Coffee ⇾

These days I mostly brew espresso and drink Americanos, but I enjoy reading about the coffee routine of others almost as much as I do reading about office setups. Shawn puts as much care into his coffee prep as he does everything else.
