A Film About Coffee

Filmmaker Brandon Loper is working on a beautiful feature length film about coffee, 

a favorite topic of mine. It's still in post-production, but you can watch the trailer here.

yes, please.

I love coffee. Something about it makes me happy. My dream is to have an
at-home barista bar and I like to imagine having friends and family over for Sunday brunch to
eat croissants and egg bake. Naturally, I'd be at my espresso machine whipping up drinks.

My favorite coffee supply store/site, Clive Coffee, recommends the Rancilio Sivia V3 as 

the best at-home espresso machine under $1000. So...it'll be awhile before I'm barista-ing.

Clive's site is the perfect combination of information and tools. They are a Portland-based
company that's dedicated to helping people make great coffee at home. What's not to love?

coffee terms

I work in a coffee shop and I kind of love it. Actually, I really love it. I saw this article in the NYT 

and thought I'd share. I'm familiar with almost all of these terms, but as a barista 

I should probably commit the rest to memory.
