A million different places

This is the perfect website for me. I haven't been doing the coffee thing for as long as some people, but I already know now that it's something I love, and I would be perfectly happy to do it for as long as I'm working. Eventually, one day, I'd like to own my own coffee shop(s) - as well as some other businesses, business is kind of a passion of mine, although it might seem slightly boring. In highschool marketing was my favorite class and my orginal major going into college was… Continue

Panama (Part 1): The Preparation

I love my wife. My wife is amazingly unusual compared to the stereotypical domestic housewife that carts 2.5 children around in a Caravan with a soccer ball sticker in the window (we don't even have kids yet). I suppose I shouldn't expect a typical wife as I don't have a typical marriage. I am 25 and have been married for over three years now, which almost unheard of in a post-modern generation of delayed decision and overly cautious attitudes toward the whole "institution" of marriage. But I… Continue

Central Sydney Coffee Scene

I measure coffee culture in the crema of my very short ristretto. This is nigh near impossible to do in Indonesia, where an espresso can come in cups as big as cappuccino mugs. Often the cafes of Indonesia make the mistake of changing the time honoured drink preparations to suit the perceptions of the coffee drinkers of that country, instead of educating them to what is a short black, a piccolo or a doppio. There is a tale, which may or may not be true, about the opening of the first Starbucks… Continue

Organic Gardening in Mexico City

The Christian Science Monitor had an interesting article on the food crisis and how families in Mexico City are confronting rising prices with backyard gardens. "Mexico City Launches Community Gardens", provides more interesting stats on the food crisis that is affecting the world. Mexico has already put a freeze on the prices of food staples and now they are helping establish community gardens. organic gardening in Mexico with Coffee Kids and FomCafe
