Rainy days? Just use your coffee cup holder umbrella

It’s been rainy here in the Missouri Ozarks for several days, and we’re expecting more on the way.  But South Korean designer Jung-Woo Lee of ekdesign has created a way for you to enjoy your coffee and stay out of the rain as well in hopes of surviving the Springfield downpour of 2010.  He’s designed [...]

Single origin Burundi coffee poured over ice

Today I stopped by Hebrews Coffee on Republic Road in Springfield, Missouri to get a single-origin coffee brewed via pourover. Kevin Roy, who runs Hebrews, suggested I try it iced instead of hot. That sounded intriguing. He told me that a couple days ago, he tried the Ethiopia Sidama Ardi from PT’s [...]

Two coffees I have never had and want to try are Cuban coffee and Turkish coffee. Thanks to CoffeeTweet, today I found several videos on YouTube about how to prepare Turkish coffee. The video below, “How To Make The Perfect Cup of Turkish Coffee”, is a nice short and sweet primer on the [...]

Clover intro video on YouTube

I found this introductory video to the Clover coffee machine at The Coffee Ethic’s fancy new website. The video is produced by Wired, and it’s nicely done. It was created back in summer of 2008, so some of the news is slightly outdated, but it still provides a great overview of what sets [...]
