Anyway, the past couple of weeks I’ve been drinking some really Read More→

Well, it’s that time again. Time for me to go undercover and investigate what I consider outrageous claims made by Starbucks® concerning their new instant coffee, VIA™. They released the line of instant coffees, which are being promoted as being AS GOOD as regular brewed coffee. They claim that their instant coffee is different because it contains ‘micro-ground’ coffee. Um, ground coffee does not dissolve in water, no matter how ‘micro’ it may be. Fine ground coffee, allowed to steep in water will always, always, always be bitter and offer many off notes in the flavor. Pardon my Read More→

Two posts in three days, yay! Life is full, with three busy boys, a full time job, and numerous other commitments, it is difficult to churn out episodes at a quick pace. Even just to get some quiet time to shoot a video is a challenge 
I’m always thinking of new stuff to do, and I’m always looking for new topics. It was suggested by a viewer that I should address some coffee basics. It is so true that many coffee drinkers are misinformed on the basics, like Read More→

Ahhh, it’s good to be back! Wow, it’s been over a month since I’ve published a video, and I was really feeling it. This video is full of great info about Kona coffee, but admittedly so, it’s a bit dry. I didn’t really notice until I was finished, but I seem a little on the mopey side…not at all the case, but video tends to require a little more pizazz. Okay, enough ripping myself…
Kona coffee….what is it?….why is it so freaking expensive?…is Kona coffee worth the huge price tag? Those are the questions I am Read More→

Hello again coffee friends! I’m back after a nice week of camping, hiking, fishing, cliff diving etc One question I’ve gotten a few times is “how do I get quality coffee while camping?” Many people think of using a percolator while camping, and predispose themselves to using this less than preferred method of coffee brewing while roughing it. I have put together three easy camp coffee methods that will all produce a quality cuppa joe! Oh yeah, all of these wonderful methods cost less than $30!
The first method is the travel french press. Certainly, you can cart around your full size glass press pot, but why risk breakage and take up precious packing space? I purchased this exact mug myself a month ago, and I must say that I am impressed. It’s is a very unique design that offers great coffee brewing capabilities, even on the run! Just throw a scoop of coffee in and add water that is 30 seconds removed from boiling. Give it a stir for a few seconds, put the lid on and Read More→

I was originally set to shoot a vac pot tutorial video this week, but plans change. I have been bestowed the honor of joining Scott Jangro and Todd Crawford on their podcast show, CoffeeCast! You can listen to the show at CoffeeCast.fm or on iTunes in the days to come. During their last show, Scott and Todd were talking about McDonald’s McCafé offerings. It was quite surprising to see a fast food establishment decide to offer espresso based drinks! Let’s face it, Mickey Dees employs many young teens, who are not exactly knowledgeable baristas! I’ll refer to these MCD employees as McBaristas. Read More→
