Oh man, I cannot even begin to say how heartbroken I am right now. yeah it was only my second competition, but holy hell 16:23? I am going to go get plastered and hopefully make it to the end tomorrow without crying. At least I know that in that time I fucking nailed my performance, it was everything I wanted to say and I feel the coffee rocked. My shots were coming out so good. If anyone knows where I can see the performance, I know it was streaming online, I just want to look at it. there's always nest year and I have a lot of people I can still root for. January, I know you will do well and if not I'll totes make you a 37th place trophy.

December Review

New Year, New People in my Life, but Coffee is still my “Main Squeeze.” As I dive deeper into the wonderful world of coffee, I find my eyes getting larger and larger with the excitement of a five year old child unwrapping her gifts on Christmas Day. From Jasmine-like aromas to distinct honeyed tastes, my coffee palate has begun to develop, and with a mind of its own, it lusts only after the very best...December Review and Coffee Selection
While November’s Jam took our members on a journey from Ethiopia to Yemen, members experienced a more intense side of Yemen at Jitterz’ Christmas Soiree this past December. Yemen Mokha Sharasi, well what can I say? When I initially tasted this cup, I literally had no words. Simply put, it’s...AMAZING. Roasted at City+, a lighter roast, the Sharasi has a very toasty honey fragrance that compliments its sweet honey taste. There’s a floral lingering honey in the aftertaste and an elegant, buttery body. Our second selection El Salvador Organic Finca Mauritania, originally delighted me while it marinated my taste buds; but over the course of five weeks, this coffee has continually kept my attention. Each time I brew a new pot of coffee, this is what I seek after. Roasted at City+, this El Salvador coffee arouses your senses with its cinnamon aroma and underlaying toasty notes. Our taste buds experienced a very floral coffee with a natural spice element that enhanced its slightly creamy body and clean finish. Completing our selection, Ethiopia Organic Natural Djimma WP Decaf still held our guests attention with its bright, aromatic, and somewhat spicy, fruited orange marmalade citric notes. The body is fairly light, but suits the tea-like qualities of the cup. Check out these pictures from Jitterz Café’s Christmas Soiree!

Vancouver goodness anyone?

So I'm just throwing it out there, but how many baristas would actually make the trek over the bridge of many frustrations for a Vancouver Tamp your face off? I would totes be the hostess with the mostess with wonderful food and beer. Then I also have a two group La Marzocco, two Mazzers, one a super Jolly, and enough room for break dancing, depending on how many beers I have. I am thinking April at the earliest, so give me some feedback!
