WAKE UP AND COFFEE

[SKT]

@mclaincausey very cool. I’d love to experience something like this.

@SKT it’s so cool. I think there’s a viable market for what they’re doing. No guarantees they’ll get eugenides again but they get plenty of other exotic coffees in terms of the varietal as well as the production. There are some mad scientist producers doing things like borrowing wine fermentation techniques for beans. A lot of crazy stuff out there to try.

This morning I had an exotic I picked up yesterday. I can’t justify drinking these on the regular and workday mornings require the coffee maker and carafe, but holy cow what a cuppajoe. This incredibly sweet coffee would have tasted comparatively bitter going back and forth with eugenoides as I was doing across the cuppings yesterday, which is insane.

Coffee for today.

Good coffee not easy to find in quieter parts of Japan…

[Matt]

Wait… are you in Japan now? Wtf?

[Alex]

@Matt a man’s gotta work

[Tago Mago]

@Alex he’ll have to ask Katie to explain that sentence to him

[Bridger]

Nice kit @Alex

I started travelling with a V60 a couple of years ago and it's a game changer. Even the shittist of hotels can be okay when you can get a decent morning brew.

[Matt]

@Tago-Mago ignorance is bliss.

False spring is almost over here in the pnw.
Trying to enjoy it while it lasts…

Japan is sort of what we do.

China, Thailand, Mexico, Turkey or Portugal would be WTF......

@Brock Nice cup!

[Brock]

@sophisto000 thank you! Titty mugs are the best mugs

[Matt]

@Giles let me know when you get to Portugal.

Tangent…. Katie and I decided today that we will be planning a hiking trip through Patagonia.

Going to go ahead and assume that's sans kids.....

[Matt]

Oh yeah. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

cool, always wanted to do that. around El Chalten?

[Giles]

Fantastic. Take a travel rod

Finally pulled the trigger on a second hand Comandante C40, after much longing. It appears to be worthy of the hype.
Don’t always have the time for this, but trying to allow myself a coffee a day with it - a nice little excuse to carve out a moment to slow down a bit. The manual grinding process is actually very pleasant/soothing, which I wasn’t anticipating!

Sunday morning hand ground ‘honey blend’. 14 clicks on the grinder.

Stepping off the tangent, it turns out that laughter is almost as good as coffee for waking me up in the morning. @Matt the trip sounds cool too.
