We started the week with a job posting in New York from Pret A Manger. They are looking for talented baristas and you can get all of the details here: Unique NYC Coffee Job Opportunity: Pret A Manger
Then we had a story on a great new project by a group of folks from Austin, Texas known as the Department of Brewology. We spoke with David Salinas, who is creating the hand drawn and handmade prints celebrating, education and promoting different brew methods and techniques. They are awesome!

On Wednesday we played Humpday Giveaway, our weekly trivia contest for fun and prizes, and guess what this week’s prize was? Yep, a Department of Brewology print! Let’s Play Barista Magazine’s Humpday Giveaway #73! (August 6, 2014 Edition)

Then we had a story on Tyler Stevens, a former barista competitor from Billy Wilson’s famous BARISTA coffeehouse on Northeast Alberta in Portland, Ore. Now he’s moved on to bar tending in some of the city’s most famous bars, and is already making a name for himself in the United States Bartenders’ Guild (USBG) competition arena.

Friday we had a post on a new gadget (if that’s the right word) that has just appeared on the coffee scene. They’re called Coffee Joulies, and they are kind of an incredible engineering feat. They absorb excessive heat from coffee and cool it to make it easier to drink. You can read about their development and how they work here: Coffee Joulies: An Engineered Solution to Cooling Coffee
Then on Saturday, our regular contributor Jeremy Martin was back (he just completed a six-part series for us on cold brew coffee) with another entry in the cooler side of coffee ledger. This time he wrote about coffee ice cream, a perfect topic for a hot August day. You can read about it here: Beyond Simple Ice Cream
