Doing the best I can.

Coffee flight from Můj šálek kávy in Prague. Go there for breakfast next time you're in town.

Black Coffee

August 28, 2013 in Berlin Journal, Lifestyle

Cooking breakfast or somethin'

 I just made my finest cup of coffee yet and I’m very proud. So proud that I have to share. I’m sure blazey can attest to my many failed, frustrating attempts at home.

Beans: Kenia Kirinyaga Gachami
 jbkaffee.de

I purchased a bag around the corner at one of my favorite coffee houses called Chapter One. Yesterday, the barista made me an Aeropress coffee using these beans. It might be the best cup I've purchased and I'll definitely buy one later for the road (I think msg  evangelized about it years ago)

Method: French Press

I usually put too many beans but this time it was perfect at 5 scoops.
Aggressive pour almost boiling water and let sit for 1 minute.
Broke up the cushion and let it sit, covered, for 3 more minutes. 
Press and pour
No milk or sugar

Post Layoff Drinks

August 09, 2013 in Berlin Journal

After Fab informed the European team that the Berlin office would be shutting down, leaving many out of a job, they all convened at a bar nearby called Luzia. Many people are smiling but believe me, no one is happy.
