Ahh…The Coffee Break

I have my coffee break nearly every day at 1:30pm, right after lunch. I’m all carb’ed up and primed for nap, but I have another 3 hours of work.

It is a ritual of mine. I love to take a few minutes and smell the ground coffee, then smell the brewing coffee as it blooms, watch the coffee crema (that awesome foam on a pour over), then enjoy the cup with a few jokes and get back to work.

If you do not have a ritual like this already, get one. If this infographic doesn’t give you enough reason, then here is all you need….

It makes you awesome.

Brewing Success: Coffee Makes the Workplace Go Round

I think I'm almost ready for KickStarter

I've really looking at how I can make this happen. When it comes down to everything, I need to roast my own beans. I know the multi-roaster model is doing well right now, but I just can't fork up the time or money to jump in like that. That would be a very high risk approach. Knowing that I have to support my family, how can make this happen?

First Farmers Market

I served my first farmer's market on 1/6. There is a random little restaurant in the middle of our neighborhoods that hosts this market on the first Saturday of every month. It was a bit of a mixed experience.

Developing My Palate with Press Coffee

With my re-branding efforts, I'm working to develop my palate. I need to be able to better taste the products that I'm providing. As a coffee roaster, I need to be able to tell what effects any changes I make has on the bean. The only way to do that is to taste. The hard part is that it's very difficult to distinguish what we taste. Most of us think in cave man perspectives, "mmm, good," or, "me no like." So, with that in mind, I decided to do a cupping with one of the best roasters in town.
