The Coffee Facts by Medness

I’m wondering how the Top 5 consumer countries was measured. Something about it seems off to me.

Ladies and Gents,
Let me introduce you to a brand new Craft Coffee blog series….: Pro-Tip Tuesday!

Today, in the spirit of spring to come, we dig into Cold Brew vs. “Japanese Iced”.
Sam Lewontin, our in-house coffee evaluator, has been so kind to give us a preview of his thoughts on the…

I inspired a blog post! Yeah!

Terroir Konga Co-Op Ethiopia at Marlow & Sons. Sweet and well balanced with a candied chocolate finish.

!! I had this too, on Saturday. Maybe I had just missed you? Confirmed that Stephen Rogers is one of the nicest guys behind the bar, ever.

Stumptown Ethiopia Mordecofe at (little) Variety in Greenpoint. I didn’t know the barista but was served a bro-spro anyway. Unfortunately it wasn’t very tasty.

Follow Friday: Mike White has a tumblog dedicated to daily shots (ha!) of espresso. Check out this awesome article here, also featuring the nicest guy around, the director of coffee at Marlow and Sons. I found him particularly nice because he remembered me weeks after I had stopped in to try some Handsome Roasters, when we bumped into each other at a cupping. It’s the little things that matter.

First iced coffee of the season! (Taken with instagram)

There is nothing more American than iced coffee. (Though if you’re familiar with Blue Bottle’s inspriation, iced coffee is rather prominent in Tokyo.) While I was studying abroad in Paris last spring, once the weather got especially warm, I knew that ordering an iced coffee wouldn’t be possible. (ça n’existe pas.) Luckily I knew of a café that would be able to help satiate my craving. He made me iced Chemexes because he didn’t like cold brewed coffee.

The bottles are fully compostable. Compared to the New Orleans iced coffee served at the bar (not in bottles), the bottled version tastes sweeter. This makes for a nice treat if you have more of a sweet tooth on a warm spring day.

The seating area outside of Four Barrel in San Francisco also has a bike rack for customers. So San Franciscan…gotta love it.

Ritual Coffee’s shipping container space. Dope (Taken with instagram)

I almost prefer this location in Hayes Valley over their Mission café. A small park is less than 10 feet away and other excellent food shops have popped up in the district, making for a lovely (and hunger-inducing) stroll.

The small real estate of a shipping container doesn’t necessarily force but encourages minimalist design and simplicity, as demonstrated here. Lovely wooden countertop.

Good morning coffee

Sightglass Coffee Roasters in San Francisco, CA. What an immaculate space to enjoy a cup of coffee. It was worth walking down Market Street past colorfully-dressed (to say the least) characters, so much so that my mom was still raving about Sightglass hours after we got home.

Why just drink your coffee when you can make art out of it?

Also: today I formally swear off sugar in my java. Just Splenda, thanks very much. Next up: milk. I think. Perhaps.

No milk no sugar

Hearts are nice. What about a cat? A skull? A ninja?
