Hey everyone! This year we will be having the Spring Coffee Fling on Sunday, the 13th of June at Spuyten Duyvil. We will meet in the back garden starting at 6pm until they kick us out. For those of you new to this Fling thing, a few of us organize a bi-annual gathering of the amazing people that surround our beloved brown-bean beverage, Coffee! This industry has some awesome folks working in it! You really don't even have to work in a coffee based profession to Fling. Feel free to join us for a… Continue

Hey all, I will be in Seattle from the afternoon of December 7th until the morning of the 10th. I have a few things to do during the mornings but outside of that, I would love to connect and drink shots and eat food with awesome Seattle coffee peeps. I am not familiar with Seattle but I would love it if someone could show me the spots if they have time. Let's Possify!

That's right, Saturday night is the night for me. My roomie, Lizzie and I are having a party at our spot to say "Hell Yeah!" to whatever. We just want all of our amazing friends to meet each other and hang out in our spot. THe event will take place on Saturday 8/2/08 after the Grumpy Barista Music Showcase (Greenpoint 4-8). Please email me for the address. I hope you can ALL make it!

I had a funny idea to make t shirts that say snarky barista coffee stuff on them (i.e. "Rock Out With Your Macch Out!"). I am selling them. I think they are fun but I don't know that anyone else will. I am going to continue to try to spread the spro-based snark about the land so I will post new designs for shirts and stuff as they are completed. Yay! This is fun! BTW the macchiato I used for the logo was a delicious macch from Gimme!

I recently traveled to Boquete, Panama to visit coffee farms in order to educate myself, meet farmers and all of the people involved in producing coffee there.

Boquete is in the state of Chiriqui at the foot of Volcan Baru. David is the capital of Chiriqui.
