oh… right, that barista jam thing

I’ve been expecting something exciting and interesting to happen soon at the shop. Something Barista Mag Blog worthy… I’m not sure it’s gonna happen. Then I remembered that we had that barista jam with Metropolis Coffee like, 3 months ago. This was something we had been discussing with Tony and the Mtrop gang since the […]

The Tone & Sonja Show, Part 2

Here’s the second part of Tone and Sonja wedding greeting to me and Ken! (So that means the video in the post below this one is part 1).
WARNING: If you can’t view this video (maybe if you’re using Firefox. It shows up if you open the blog in Safari), here is Part One […]

The Tone & Sonja Show

Our friends Tone Liavaag (Solberg & Hansen in Norway) and Sonja Grant (Kaffitar in Iceland) couldn’t make it to the States for Ken’s and my wedding. Bummer! But they did the very next best thing: they shot a video for us during the Nordic Barista Cup in Sweden. David Latourell and Bjorg Brend brought it […]

Baca in P-town

Chris Baca is in town this weekend, and last night, Kevin Fuller (Albina Press) and I went out with him, his lovely wife, Jenny, and their friends in tow. It was a blast!

Here’s Baca and Jenny — she’s a beauty! My camera malfunctions don’t do her justice. She’s a super rad woman.

Here’s Baca and Kevin. […]

Weddings, wildfires… what about coffee?

Yes, Ken and I have a good excuse for being a little slow on the pasteboard postings considering we had our wedding last week and also our concern for those plagued by wildfire worries and devastation in Southern California. It’s been a crazy week for all of us in good and bad ways. But one […]

Back to Reality…

So Sarah and I had a great wedding, as you can see from her post below. And in an unheard of turn of events we even went for four whole days following it without turning on our computers, reading the news or even checking our email. Ignorance as they say was bliss. Because as soon […]

We Done Got Hitched

I never thought Ken and I would go this long without posting to pasteboard, but see, we have a great excuse: we got married last Friday! For those of you who don’t know, Ken and I got engaged exactly one month after we decided to start Barista Magazine. So you can see how some things […]

Best Wishes

I’m getting excited on behalf of Ken and Sarah for the impending wedding which is only days away! So this is me wishing you guys all the best for your wedding day, lots of love, beer, dancing and coffee with your family, friends and pets!

From a gal half way around the world I hope your day […]

Black Week

This week Tim Wendelboe (world barista and world cup tasting champion) launches his new crops at his roastery in Olso, Norway. Besides featuring some really amazing coffees he’ll also do something most coffee shops would be scared of even considering: No milk drinks the entire week!
Yup, you’ll not be getting any lattes, cappuccinoes or macchiatos. […]

You Can Call Me Al!

Congratulations to Vice President Al Gore for winning the Nobel Peace Prize this morning! In the last year, Gore has won an Emmy, an Oscar and now a Nobel Prize! Not bad. Of course he also won the popular vote for President in 2000 in something we like to call an “election” here in the […]
