Loose Leaf Chai - We need your help!
premium loose leaf chai. I know there are several cafes around that are
using loose leaf chai even in their lattes.
We have tried several but cannot get it to steep well in the milk.
Any suggestions?

Where the wild things are
left the shop when I remembered that I had left my cell phone charger
and, when I got back into the shop, I found myself surrounded by
slumbering beasts of burden. The GB5 squatted there on the
counter with its two eerily glowing oval eyes. The Clover
persistantly reminded me to "Stir in cleaner" while the water tower and
the Anfim peeked at me with their little red eyes. In the dark I
could feel… Continue

An Update of the Spring Break Trip.
Milwaukee:
Alterra Coffee - Working with Scott Lucey
Madison:
Ancora Coffee - visiting with Ryan Baughn
Not sure yet, I imagine I can hang out at my friend's cafe at EVP. I still am getting to know about EVP, my friend that I am visiting has been working with them for several years. They roast their own coffee and have some pretty nice… Continue

May I share my heart?
My introduction to the world of Guatemalan coffee came a short 15 months ago. I really had zero information about coffee, let alone the world associated with it. I am so thankful that my eyes have been opened to the beauty of the world behind my little cup of coffee.
Of course, Guatemalan coffee is superb; every cup is a new beginning for me as I experience the flavor each time anew. It is so multifaceted. It is easy to sell for me, as it sells itself. I could never…

Cupping the Cold Away
Posted by: Mary Dally-Muenzmaier
We're not gonna lie to ya, kids, it is crazy cold out there. In fact, it's colder than the glare your mother gives you when she finds out you did something dingbat dangerous when you were young but never told her about and she's missed her chance to punish you for it because you're all grown up now. Come on, you know that glare--it is cold.…

1st Bar Shift
Yikes it went okay a little stressful.
I am learning the menu and the drinks they offer.
hopefully the next shift will be better.
I had a good time.
It was cool I have alot of practical development as a home barista with professional equipment.
Working the bar is a totally different experience.
I did get some nice latte art on a couple of drinks.
Adjusted the grinder finer when no one was looking so the shots where not… Continue

useless spoons.
People come to coffee shops to talk. Everyday I make drinks for long lost duos, newly kindled fires and open wound revelers. The most common chair formation at any coffee house happens to be tables built for two. Two people fit well into a heart-to-heart conversation. Friends come to sit down, perk up and get real with each other.
Currently I am typing in another coffee shop down the street… Continue

My greatest blog post ever...
It all started at 4:15am. I woke up after 4-5 hours of sleep, showered, shaved, dressed... no coffee yet. I get to the shop at 4:56 give or take. Amanda's mom drops her off as I begin the drip coffees. She's been having car trouble, as an owner you've got to appriciate an employee getting her butt to work on time at 5am without a car...
Shots timed and tested, bakery case full, coffees ready, chairs pushed neatly in to lined… Continue

Tamper Dream
communication satellite. Unfortunately there was some delay so I
took the opportunity to read a good book, but first I looked out the
portal. I saw that there were somewhere around a dozen more
communication satellites scattered in orbit around the earth, and that
each one was shaped like a tamper with a base the size of Australia.
Weird.

The Art of Cappuccino and the Art of making money
sincerely dreadful vending machine at Doncaster train station (these
are the lengths I go to under the name of research - or possibly
caffeine addiction) to the £2.65 Grande-mug-with-extra-shot at Caffe
Nero. (I would quote Starbucks prices but haven't yet swallowed my
pride enough to dare go in there). I will cover why I need an extra
shot in Nero's… Continue
