Have a great weekend!
Espresso vs. Other Brew Methods
This is less a comparison and more of a question.
Do you find yourself preferring any specific brew method for your coffee?
If you work in the industry, consider this a question based on a morning or afternoon coffee for pure enjoyment, and leave all analysis aside.
I’ve found myself being awfully fond of macchiati lately, regardless of the coffee used (be it a blend or single origin). Of course, this falls under the Espresso category.
I still enjoy other brew methods immensely, but I find myself most satisfied with a small blast of flavor rather than taking enjoyment in the act of consumption itself. Which is something I discovered I used to enjoy as a reason to prefer larger drinks(cups of coffee, that is.. I’ve never been fond of lots of milk). It seems like a strange contrast to make, I realize.
I have seen more and more references to Toddy (and other cold-brews) on the web and more people taking an interest in French Press here in Lubbock. Some people are discovering the Abid “Clever” filter brewer.
What do YOU tend to prefer? Why? I always like reading the thoughts of others. Leave a comment.

For Hire: Jerry S. Caunca, Philippines
I received an email from a gentleman in the Philippines named Jerry Caunca who is looking for work as a Barista.
Jerry writes,
(paraphrase)…I‘m from the Philippines. I want to go to Canada or the United States. I have been a coffee barista for 5 years here in the Philippines.
His resume is quite interesting. He has been a barista (coffee professional is probably more accurate. He has some background in roasting as well.) for a few years, and has been in the service industry for his entire career. He seems to enjoy serving and interacting with people.
Any roaster and/or retailer looking to take on some fresh talent should probably take a look at his resume and contact him. His phone number is in his resume.
