Weekend #espresso vibes… as I finish up the @thebarnberlin Full Bloom to make room in the @baratza Sette hopper for next up #coffee @kumacoffee Ethiopia Guracho. It’s going to be a tasty week. What are you pulling these days?

I'm enjoying this Hallowe'en evening surrounded by the glow of candles, these little pumpkin fellas, and the very delicious last cappuccino featuring @kumacoffee Ethiopia Shakiso. It's time to avoid the trick, and treat myself to the next coffee for my espresso hopper... @calendar.coffee Wilfredo Sanchez from #Honduras. What treats are you enjoying this spooky weekend?🎃👻

Few things are better in the morning than a fresh carafe of excellent coffee waiting for you to start the day with. Today, I’m having an amazing @thebarnberlin Costa Rica that’s tasting like raisins and cinnamon with a lingering caramel sweetness. What are you brewing today?

Working from home doesn't mean compromising on great coffee. While miss the many awesome cafes in Seattle, I'm having a great time practicing my pours in between zoom calls.

Isolation has been challenging, but I've been happy to have a seriously never-ending supply of great coffee to enjoy. The latest arrivals have been some tasty Peruvians from @moustachecoffee and a Hawaiian Gesha from @olympiacoffee ... Some @sweetbloomcoffee Guatemala and Ethiopia and I'm excited to receive @rodrigosanchez09 offerings from @plotroasting soon. Rounding that off is my biweekly subscription from @calendar.coffee and some really tasty Ecuador that I can't get enough of.
This is lunchtime at my house on a lazy Saturday

I hope in this moment, our citizens, civic and industrial leaders will come forward, listen to the many voices of our friends and neighbours -- our fellow Americans, and start working with genuine empathy, desire and swiftness to change this broken system.
Let's lift our voices and make sure the message is heard. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Black Lives Matter.

Another day...another delicious cappuccino in the cup. I wish friends could come over so I could share such amazing coffee with them. Looking forward to a future where we have COVID under control or eradicated.
In the meantime, I'll continue being a happy home barista. Here's hoping you're staying safe and have access to great coffee!

Sundays are meant for stopping amazing coffee! @r

Sundays are meant for stopping amazing coffee! @rodrigosanchez09 Purple Caturra from @brandywinecoffeeroasters ftw
Happy memorial day weekend everyone! ☕

I hope you are all enjoying some quiet and relaxin

I hope you are all enjoying some quiet and relaxing times wherever you might be. I'm happily quarantined and haven't been anywhere but home and walking around my neighbourhood since March 15. I have had more time to make #cappucccinos and improve my pouring skills as a #homebarista as a result of the lockdown.
This is the very last of the really tasty 😋 @kumacoffee Colombia El Pantano which gets replaced today by @brandywinecoffeeroasters @rodrigosanchez09 Purple Caturra for this week's espressos.
What are you brewing?☕

Everyone needs a little bit of sparkle in their lives! Drinking the last @calendar.coffee Tanzania Magwila AB and let me tell you... it’s strong with the sparkle.

A lovely day with delicious drinks while working from home, thanks to my @lamarzoccohome Linea Mini and the very last bit of @alanascoffee Peru in my hopper. I hope you’re all staying safe and enjoying your own #covidcoffee while staying home and distancing. Looking forward to a time when I can share coffee with friends again!

Hearts all around! This was my Valentine's day cappuccino, and I've been terribly behind in posting and processing my photos. Let's just say that my work has been busier than is typical the last couple months.
I hope you got to share your special day with someone you love, like I did.

Work can get super busy, so I'm here to remind you

Work can get super busy, so I'm here to remind you to stop, and find some time to break from the routine and sip a delicious cappuccino!

I regularly break my day into small pourover breaks and when I work from home, always take time to make delicious espresso drinks like this, featuring @calendar.coffee Ananias Silvestre from Colombia. It is sure a lovely coffee!! How do you make your breaks awesome?

Sometimes a simple cappuccino is all you need to make a day that much better! I poured this gem into some very delightful @olympiacoffee Ethiopia Adame Garbota (18.5g to 40g in 31s)

What brings that little extra happiness to your day?

Macadamia nuts and a cappuccino seem to be a reasonably good combo to start the day with. This is @moustachecoffee Etiopia Deri Kidame and is quite lovely with the milk.

There's a lot to be thankful for this year, and this is the time to be kind, thoughtful and merry!

It's been a while since I shot anything with my older #eos5d from 2004, but she still makes lovely photographs. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, and had some great coffee. I kept myself happy with more @kumacoffee Ethiopia Wuri and am excited to have an unopened bag of their Borboya from Kenya to break into soon.

Stopped by @lamarzoccocafe for some delicious @kumacoffee Kenya Gatomboya this week and it was phenomenal (as most coffee roasted by Kuma is). Picked up a bag of Ethiopia Wuri too. Yum! 😋

Is 10pm too late to make a delicious cappuccino featuring @3fecoffee Ana Sora from #yirgacheffe Ethiopia? Happy to have enjoyed coffees roasted in Ireland this past month (@calendar.coffee too). So happy to be able to pull shots and steam milk at home on my @lamarzoccohome Linea Mini. Grateful for having learned a little bit about espresso theory, too! 18.3g in, 38g out, 33s made a lovely and enjoyable drink tonight!

This took a bit of time to dial in, but @kumacoffee Ethiopia Guji makes a lovely cappuccino. What are you pulling this long weekend?

Memories of my stop in Winnipeg, and the delicious Hernan Gomez Honduran @calendar.coffee that was being served by @fhcoffee_ at The Forks. Happy to be drinking their Ethiopia Hunkute right now. Such a tasty coffee all the way from the roasters in Galway, Ireland. I highly recommend checking out their offerings and placing an order if you can!!

With Autumn here, I’m making delicious espresso with @thebarnberlin Costa Rica Juanachute and it’s oh, so comforting!

When stopping through Spokane, Washington — a must-visit is the @vesselroasters cafe on Monroe Street. Such a great space, and more importantly, delicious coffee. Spot-on Colombia El Tigre on espresso and a lovely Peach fizz shrub to top it all off.

I had the pleasure of meeting Joe and his team at @cortadotastingroom today, and was relieved they had Kalita 155 filters. A great stop for the coffee and espresso lover. I grabbed a single-origin Colombia from @detourcoffee . The pourovers options were amazing, and I was introduced to some new Canadian-based roasters to try on my road trip (Halifax to Seattle)😜. Definitely a must-visit when in Halifax!!👍

Espresso simplicity at the newly established @boxcar_social in downtown Halifax. I happened to stumble across the shop and was delighted to pick up a bag of @coffeecollectif Ethiopia Jimma Akmel, too. Excited to add it to my brewing lineup over the next couple weeks! Espresso was on point and multiple SOE options available.

I’ve been walking around Halifax and Dartmouth for most of the day. Stumbled across @coffeeologyespressoco and decided to stop in for a pour over and espresso.

Tiny hearts. Morning cappuccinos are a great way to start the day, and I hope you found joy in your morning coffee ritual. This was the very last of my @templecoffee Costa Rica. Up next in the home espresso hopper: @kumacoffee Guatemala Hunapu (which has been stellar as pour overs).

Gotta keep practicing! Do you love a good cappuccino? I know that I definitely do. I don’t always serve myself on a grand platter, but did today! Today, I was drinking @kumacoffee Hunapu from Guatemala!! So good!
