Go Panda! Yay Oly Roasters!

guides to different coffee-brewing methods.

"They say they already have ceramic cups and plates available in nearly every store, yet approximately zero people I know have ever gotten a real cup or plate in a Starbucks" I have, a few times, in the one near the office.

Yay Lar!!!! :) A great friend, and someone C has known since high school.

it could be srsly dangerous for me to know how to make lemon pound cake.

I'm thinking this is the one we get when the kitchen is done.

"Olympia’s own Olympia Coffee Roasting Company scored big this month. Coffee Review, the world’s leading coffee buying guide tasted Big Truck Blend and gave it a fantastic score of 91 points." Awesome! I love those guys.

I usually dump C's grounds out into the garden, but here's some other nifty stuff!

for C. (me, I don't drink coffee)

the coffeeshop on cherry st downtown has one of these. of course, I know pretty much nothing about coffee, except what I learned from an episode of good eats. :) and C hates the french press, as do I. total PITA. "stovetop espresso" otoh works pretty well

do we still have that mason jar kicking around?

my usual daily intake is 2-3 cups of tea.

I hate to say it, but this actually looks useful.

this place is down the hill.

I think this is going to be the machine to get, eventually.
