Seattle Coffee Works recently started a Monday coffee cupping, so I went down to participate.
The five coffees on the table were:
Bali Organic Kintamaru Natural
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere
Ethiopia Sidamo Moredocofe
Tanzania Blackburn Estate
Kenya AA Igutha
Hopefully I spelled those correctly. Although I was impressed on how much the Bali impersonated an East Africian coffee, my two favorites were the [...]
Last Sunday the Coffee Club of Seattle visited Dubsea Coffee in the White Center area of Seattle. Dubsea Coffee opened in November 2009 and uses Stumptown Coffee. It is a beautiful location and they serve great coffee, but what makes Dubsea unique is they have an amazing latte etching artist on staff.
Joerael Elliott was there [...]
While most of America was watching the Super Bowl, the Coffee Club of Seattle went to the heart of downtown Seattle to visit Seattle Coffee Works.

When I spotted this “Seattle Latte” in the cold drink section of a Bangkok 7 Eleven, I knew I had to try it. It was a sweet tasting drink, which wasn’t too painful considering how hot and humid it was in Thailand. Did it taste like a Seattle Latte? Not unless you add sucralose and [...]
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.
