A coffee boom?

Make that "Boom, coffee." I'm going to start a pot of fresh Sumatra before the storm knocks out power to the coffeemaker.

The Captain did not go down with the ship

It's my first day back after being away for a few days. I realized that my cupboard was nearly bare, so all I could do is make coffee from the last of four different bags. Don't say I didn't warn you. You could always comment with your review.

Congratualtions, Twos

Twos, you've nearly made it through another week. Celebrate with fresh Colombia N. Supreme. (Where is that "enya" key, anyway?) Ones, unite! We can make it through tomorrow.

Celebrating Going to a Four-Hour Meeting

...and then finding out it's tomorrow. (Good for today, bad for tomorrow, isn't that the American way?) There might be some Colombia left in the pot.

A real match?

To continue the personality typing question, I just noticed that the kind I brought is, among other things, described as "clean," and "well-balanced." (Of course my wife picked it out...) Colombia Nariño Supremo, ready now.

Homemade Peeps?

Here's a good one from yesterday's comics. http://www.foxtrot.com/ You'd need more than the fresh Columbian I just made to wash 'em down, but it would go nicely with the cake sitting there on the table.

Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee

I can't provide any, but here are instructions on how to make tasty iced coffee. Definitely for people who plan ahead.

More of Yvonne's Sumatra

You may remember that we have previously used coffee descriptions for personality typing. The question is, do people tend to buy their own type? Starbucks has abbreviated their descriptions somewhat, but Sumatra is "Extra bold -- earthy and aromatic." Hmm. Anyway, thanks Yvonne!

A bad dream...but you better hurry

Last night I dreamt that the government started looking into Americans' access to coffee. There was outrage at discovering that Starbucks baristas got free drinks while at work and a free pound of coffee a week, and made more than minimum wage, while working people paid big bucks for a latte. One thing led to another, the entire industry was nationalized, and coffee was free for everyone as promised...generic government coffee...if you didn't mind the wait.
