Moms and #Coffee

 
Mother's Day Coffee :: Moms and Coffee


Moms and coffee, a match made in heaven! Coffee fuels the mothers of the world, always has, always will. From the early years of late night feedings, to nightmares, wet beds, sick children, and waiting up for a post-curfew appearance, moms are awake at all hours for the first 20 years of their childrens’ lives.

All too often, moms are subjected to drinking their coffee after it has cooled. Moms deserve HOT coffee! This Mother’s Day, do your mom a favor, and let her drink her coffee while it’s still hot. For all the rest of the days of the year, perhaps buy her a thermal cup. ;)

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mommies out there! Without you, there would be no ‘us’. Thank you for all of the things you’ve done, and what you do each day. :D

#Coffee. Simple. Beautiful.

 
 

Coffee. Simple. Beautiful


Everybody wants to make coffee complicated. Whether it’s the name of the beverages, changing the name of the sizes, or inventing $20K brewers. There are a zillion fancy coffee gadgets out there, many cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars. I’m one to geek out with coffee as much as the next guy or gal, but often, the best coffee is the simplest coffee. Hot water and ground coffee are the ingredients, we just need to combine, then separate them. This image is to emphasize that coffee isn’t complicated, coffee is simple. Coffee…Simple…Beautiful!

Happy International #Coffee Day!

 

Happy International Coffee Day!

happy international coffee day


International Coffee Day is a special day to celebrate the world’s second most popular beverage…COFFEE! Second, of course to water. This day was first celebrated in Japan, in 1983. Not only do we honor our favorite beverage, but we also recognize the coffee farmers, because without their hard work, we wouldn’t have our daily brew. With most commercial brands, the farmers only get a very small wage, which is frequently less than $1 per day. Be a part of the solution, and look for ethically sourced coffees. These are identified by various certifications, such as Fair Trade. Many roasters have created their own certification of sorts, known as ‘Direct Trade’. This practice is predicated on creating the most [Read more...]

#Coffee Savants Roundtable :: Google+ Coffee Hangout

 

Talking COFFEE in a G+ Hangout


I was honored to be invited onto a Google+ hangout with several other ‘coffee’ people, titled “Coffee Savants Roundtable”.  I don’t consider myself a coffee ‘savant’, but I do know a little bit about coffee, and how to bring new people into the world of specialty coffee.  I wasn’t sure what this was going to be, but I am always up for a new adventure, so I gave it a shot.  I was part of a group of people from across the continent who were a part of the coffee industry in some way.  The video above is a recording of the rich conversation that took place.  This was such a diverse group of coffee lovers, that there were several viewpoints to every topic.  The great thing about coffee is that it is so subjective.  While sometimes my view differed from others in the group, it didn’t make my… or their opinions invalid.  I am looking forward to joining these folks again in the near future!  Here is a list of those who were in the hangout with me… [Read more...]
