Coffee

Posts here are devoted to the simple joy of coffee—whether it’s a nitro oat latte in Fargo or a tasting flight during a road trip. I share notes on cafés visited, beans tried and the small moments that make each cup memorable.

Coffee flight at Fairgrounds: Verve (Santa Cruz), Dark Matter (Chicago), and Stumptown (Portland). All delicious. ☕️

Checking out the new Fairgrounds Craft Coffee & Tea in North Loop. ☕️ Very good coffee. Fried egg sandwich is amazing.

Coffee Spilled & Sprayed

Dropped my full cup of Dunn Bros coffee all over my desk, pouring 80% of it all over the place. Quickly wiping off my iPad proceeded to drop the iPad and hit the coffee cup again, spraying the remaining contents 6 feet away on the wall. Then attempting to mute the conference call I’m on, I hit the wrong button and hang up. I need to hit reset on this day and it’s not even 8am.
