The Problem of Cupping Notes, the Problem of Realism, and Andy Warhol’s Solution for Both

I have recently been asked how I come up with my cupping notes. Do I really taste things like “musty, cocoa dusted over-ripe strawberries,” “apricot syrup,” “sweetness like meringue over cooked bananas,” “damp pipe tobacco,” “leather soaked in apple juice,” and so on. My answer for this probably qualifies as a tangent (hence my necessary category: “Ramblings”), but I have attempted to illustrate the problem, and perhaps the solution, with analogy from art history and theory. If you just want…

Six days to Throwdown.

Last night, the OWC crew got together and cleaned the bejeezus out of the shop. It was an exorcism of old looks, old dust, as a way of welcoming our fall hours and new batch of students to get to know and serve. The U of I school year starts next Monday, meaning there's one week until we are in a deluge of students wandering the streets looking for good coffee, a study space and new friends. Six days remain until the Throwdown here in Moscow, ID, and I am so excited. I have all my prizes lined… Continue

Batdorf & Bronson Throwdown!

Ok...So this event was Fantastic! I am so glad I showed up for this, for so many reasons.

My friend and staff member, Gabbie competed also, and sadly, she did not go as far as I did, BUT, we made a good showing, bringing a posse with us for support. As far as… Continue

A million different places

This is the perfect website for me. I haven't been doing the coffee thing for as long as some people, but I already know now that it's something I love, and I would be perfectly happy to do it for as long as I'm working. Eventually, one day, I'd like to own my own coffee shop(s) - as well as some other businesses, business is kind of a passion of mine, although it might seem slightly boring. In highschool marketing was my favorite class and my orginal major going into college was… Continue

It was clearly stated that "we would concentrated in the quality of the drinks, but not the paintings", or similar. It was not due to the creater of the forums, but the participants to get "those" people having different opinions out of that forum, and shut up to talk about their own… Continue

McDonalds is now promoting latte art on their new site ... but if you click on the images of the drinks, you will see a latte like one might expect from the fast food giant.
