Random Picture Friday #26: Mustache Mugs

From designer Peter Ibruegger. (Source)

The Moustache Mug

Enjoy effortlessly masquerading behind a character moustache while
drinking your favourite tea or coffee. Every mug has a different design
on each side to explore your favourite masculine expression! Choose
between feisty Fu-Magnum, ambiguous Mustafa-Chaplin and cheeky
Maurice-Poirot!

So, yes, it has been awhile since I had done one of these.  I found this and just couldn’t pass it up!  It reminds me of the Soda ‘Stache.  If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t worry.  It has a planned appearance as a Random Picture Friday feature.

Have a great weekend!

REMEMBER?

Manual Brewing Workshop: Brown Coffee Co, San Antonio

It seems as though this is the season for events in the coffee community.  This time, Brown Coffee Company is hosting a Manual Brew Methods workshop in San Antonio.  Manual brew methods gained steam when Starbucks bought the Coffee Equipment Company(inventors and sellers of the Clover brewer that made waves.. for awhile), and baristas were suddenly in search of a replacement for the cup-at-a-time marketing tool known as the Clover 1S.

Brewing is not the same as brewing well.  Manual brew methods require skill, attention, and concentration.  Most coffee establishments lack these basic requirements, but there are a few institutions who have, or who plan to implement a cup-at-a-time brew method to their list of options for their ever-discerning patrons to choose from.

Here is the scoop:

Do you YouTube? Let Us Know!

We have included a feature of YouTube videos from coffee people in Texas in the left hand sidebar.  In addition to our own channel (youtube.com/texascoffeepeople), you will see Caffe Medici’s channel videos as well.  If your shop or roasterie has a YouTube channel, and you would like to be featured in the TX-Coffee.com YouTube sidebar, just let us know!

Also, if you are a consumer and you post videos of coffee industry news or establishments, you are welcome to be added as well.

The hope is that this new feature can help connect Texas Coffee People who use YouTube together in an effort to further develop the specialty coffee community in Texas.  (as usual)

We would also love to post a promotional video for your event, shop, roasterie, or other related subject matter to our channel, if you would like.  Just let us know via our Contact page.  We’d be glad to hear from you.
