@MaximumGrindage :( You’re new Twitter pic. I think I need glasses. Wahsisdahs?

@devinpedde Well I hope you aren’t headed this way. You’ll be in for a sad surprise…

Two maps

From a piece on the coffee blog ‘FRESH GRND’ about Pot Luck (a coffee bar in Japan): two coffee maps…

‘FRESH GRND’s own map of “The best coffee in the world” and a map of coffee houses in Tokyo by Masa Onishi, Barista at the above mentioned Pot Luck in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Ma’velous!

Scope the eco-friendly interiors of the city's newest coffee joint, Ma*Velous on 10th & Market. http://ht.ly/36XXk—

Hario pop

More gratuitous Hario V60.

Through the brewing glass

Looking forward to Wednesday’s Mojo’d V60 brew session with @MaximumGrindage and @matthew_machine.

Ouch!

No, that's not a site redesign, it's just Posterous having some serious technical difficulties. I certainly hope the theme you know anf love(?) will be back soon.

Niche manufacturing

And if there’s one industry that loves small scale niche-market manufacturing, it’s the goddamned world of high end coffee.

David Walsh loves steak … and coffee … and a good metaphor

I can’t wait to hear the conversation around this one.

David Walsh, in a piece called “Fillet steak with everything”, from his site The Other Black Stuff:

The best espresso I have had all year was Vivace’s Dolce (yes – really), served by David Schomer at the WBC in London. […] The taste and the components did not seem to equate. Then again oxtail can look pretty unappetizing. But if you know what to do with it…

I can’t really say that I’ve “been” to The Summit”…

… but this is already my favorite part of the place:

The atmosphere certainly is relaxed. Or at least it was for the few minutes I stepped inside the door to take a look. Full menu as well: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I’m eager to return.
