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.

Happy 4th of July!

Be safe.  Have fun.  Be free.

Here’s a shot of Lady Liberty to remind you all of what we are celebrating.

Have a happy 4th of July.
