The five coffees on the table were:

Bali Organic Kintamaru Natural
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere
Ethiopia Sidamo Moredocofe
Tanzania Blackburn Estate
Kenya AA Igutha

Last Sunday the Coffee Club of Seattle went over to Kirkland to visit the Urban Coffee Lounge.  Besides the great coffee drinks, our group was impressed by the wall decoration.  It is a collection of different sized coffee mugs fixed to a concrete backing.  Below are a few photos of the wall fixture.

Sunday at Seattle’s Stumptown

Stumptown Coffee hosted the Coffee Club of Seattle on Sunday.  At the table, we had several outstanding coffees to cup, including the amazing Panama Esmeralda.  Inside the training room, they brewed up four different Colombian micro-lots using the Chemex brewer.
I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.  Thank you Stumptown!

Coffee Bean Chair From Argentina

I was going through photos from my 2006 trip through South America and I found this photo that I had completely forgot about.  This coffee bean chair was inside a Buenos Aires mall.  Notice that every chair in the cafe has the coffee bean design.

Tall Skinny Bitter – Notes From the Center of Coffee Culture

I moved to Seattle in August 2007 and from the moment I hit the ground, I started my espresso quest.  Since then I’ve been to many great coffee shops and met many great people.  Although I loved my random journey, I would have loved to had this book in my hands when I arrived.
