need. more. coffee.

coffee w/ bailey #9

yesterday was such a nice day, i decided to have my morning coffee on the patio, with bailey of course. you can tell it's a nice day because bailey is naked! she's always cold, so she's always dressed. today i brewed el salvador yellow bourbon from klatch roasting (my favorite roaster). it really is quite delicious.

give us this day our daily brew

when i saw this sign sitting on the store shelf, it made me smile. i bought it and it now sits on my coffee bar so i can see it every day. and yes, it still makes me smile :)

1st brew of 2012

our first brew of the new year was a chemex pot of ethiopian gedeo worka.  it is a very fruity cup of deliciousness.  it was such a beautiful day here in so cal, we got to enjoy it outdoors!

happy 2012

this coffee stain represents me & my coffee drinking hubby.  we have shared many a cuppa coffee together over the years and we are looking forward to the new year as another caffeinated experience.  brew on!

happy new year!

rainy day coffee

nothing is better than a hot cup of coffee on a cold rainy day … unless it's TWO hot cups of coffee on a cold rainy day!

clever coffee dripper

my christmas present to myself was the clever coffee dripper from sweet maria's. it is a full immersion brewing method that is kinda like a hybrid of a french press and a hario v60 dripper. awesomeness.

merry christmas!

merry christmas and happy brew year!

chemex

i have been loving my chemex coffee maker ever since it arrived 8 months ago. even though the chemex was invented in the 40's, i just discovered it this year. there are no bells or whistles, no buttons to push, nothing automatic about it. it is just a simple glass carafe (similar to the ones you'd find in a chemistry lab). if you don't mind spending a few extra minutes preparing your pot of joe, you'll get a better brew outta this guy than any electric machine.
