Schultz Sues to Keep Sonics in Seattle

Ok, so this isn’t exactly coffee news, however, it’s important to note when Starbucks’ CEO Howard Schultz does something right, and it looks like he’s in the midst of doing just that according to this story from the Seattle Times.
Of course, it would have been better if he hadn’t screwed up in the first place. […]

Happy New Year - Welcome to the Future

Well here we are the year 2008! Unbelievable. So many things happened for specialty coffee and for Barista Magazine in 2007, and we can’t wait to see what the new year has in store.
When we went to the Nordic Barista Cup in Gothenburg, Sweden, the theme was the future café. Surprisingly, the future did not […]

What’s next for Barista Magazine?

Well, it’s been a big week here in Portland, the mighty Portland Trail Blazers have won six games in a row! The first time that’s happened since 2002. Here’s Brandon Roy, 2007 Rookie of the Year and Washington Husky, scoring two of his 29 points last night.

And now for news that bridges the two: […]

Good Grief

All right, it’s not so much that I’m against Christmas (no matter what Bill O’Rielly might want you to believe.) In fact, I think Christmas is pretty great. I love hanging out with my family and friends and having all the good holiday cheer and what not. This year looks to be pretty much a […]

Sorry.

Hey there, out there in the internets. I feel like a loser because I haven’t posted since Monday. When Ken and I started this blog, we vowed to post all the time, and seriously, we do a lot. But we’ve been preoccupied with something besides coffee and Barista Magazine lately: our wedding. And we didn’t […]

D’oh! Tough Break in P-Town!

Well the silver lining is that maybe the Blazers will get the number one pick next year too.

Our number one pick, Greg Oden, is lost for the season with microfracture surgery on his knee. Now we’ll depend even more on our guys Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge and Jarrett Jack to come together and get some […]

Tomato Bob

Ever since Kyle moved to Seattle, I’m finding myself with spare pocket money. We had a happy habit of post-work beers at the Clinton Street Pub. Now that he’s gone though, I’ve found something new to invest my spare dollars in: heirloom tomatoes.
Portland has an incredible local grocery store chain called New Seasons where we […]

This is how much Ken loves Brandon Roy

I thought that now — considering B-Roy’s b-day was yesterday — was the best time to post this photo of Ken. He dragged me to a car dealership in NE Portland to get stuff autographed by Brandon Roy. Ken was so nervous he couldn’t even talk. I said “Go Huskies!” (since Brandon played for University […]

Happy Birthday B-Roy!

Brandon Roy, the NBA’s Rookie of the Year, star of the mighty Portland Trailblazers turns 23 today!

I remember when he was just a kid.
