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.
“Black gold.” ☕️🤩
High quality mid-day espresso is a nice upside of working from home. ☕️
Delicious espresso. ☕️
Little Joy Coffee
Had an amazing coffee at the new Little Joy Coffee in Downtown Northfield. Amazing coffee, great shop, and top notch barista! Tim the owner is super knowledgeable about all things coffee. Go here! ☕️
Coffee Cathedral. Ratio Eight making magic with beans from Sump Coffee. ☕️
I tried a Melbourne “Magic” today. I would have a hard time telling the difference between a Magic and Cappuccino. ☕️
Very first espresso from my new Breville Oracle espresso machine. I’m impressed with the capabilities and the quality of the espresso. ☕️
Took my new Ratio Eight Coffee Maker and Baratza Virtuoso grinder for a first run this morning, paired with Sump Coffee beans. It’s like an automatic Chemex, delicious brew! ☕️ Awesome surprise from my amazing and thoughtful wife. 🥰
The Kingfield at Five Watt is definitely a treat, not an everyday coffee, but it sure is delicious. Fancy coffee time! ☕️
Mazie and I getting some coffee at Blue Bottle Coffee by World Trade Center. ☕️
Espresso. ☕️
Cleaning my espresso machine’s portafilter always gives me a moment of pause when you clean the tar-like sludge and consider “Wait, I drink this?” 😯☕️
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.
Espresso time. ☕️
Afternoon coffee flight – macchiato with cappuccino at Cafe Umbria. ☕️
Delicious espresso at Caffe Umbria this morning.
Espresso. 🤤☕️
When you clean that black crud out of the bottom of your espresso machine’s portafilter it makes you pause a moment on what you are drinking — and then you make another espresso. ☕️🤔
Leveling up my coffee fussiness with this new coffee distribution tool. ☕️
Got a set of the Bodum demitasse for Christmas. Lighter than my typical Illy demitasse but I like that you can see the espresso. ☕️
