Blogs Inside of Blogs
This morning, I woke up to find that the Seattle Weekly post I wrote about Cafe Javasti had been reviewed by mapleleaflife.com ... much entertained, I am here linking to their link to my link, and feeling a little like M.C. Escher in the process.

Blogs and Cupcakes
New look for The Buzz!
First impressions of cold brew featured in tomorrow's SW post.
And an article I just found, about a coffee/cupcake pairing event... where there seems to have been an unfortunate amount of bacon involved.

Seattle Coffee Works - Downtown
Seattle Weekly: "Local Coffee Drinker Confused by Hospitality" - In which, I finally make a recommendation for the downtown area, out of fear it might be feeling neglected.
Post-graduation, I am now trying to figure out a new "tag line" for this blog, and decide whether or not to reformat it to more summery colors and a layout that better incorporates the SW posts without giving the whole page over to them (yes, I've been a lazy blogger lately). Change is not my strength, so I certainly welcome suggestions from you who read this.
Suggest away.

Trabant Coffee & Chai - U District
Last week's Seattle Weekly coffee moment: Tanzania, Brazil: Canadian Coffee in Seattle's U District. - In which, I learn to use PowerPoint, and am dubious toward people who think they are Where It's At.

I have been remiss in blogging.
Correction, technicality: I have been remiss in blogging here. I have, however, been blogging over at Seattle Weekly's Voracious website. So here's an update on the past three weeks in coffee over there.
May 10: Kope Luau: Chasing Sun, Finding Coffee (and Chickens) ... In which there is offered a rundown on my visit to the island of Kauai, the Kauai Coffee Estate, and grocery stores that sell Kona Coffee like it's no big deal.
May 17: Marine Biology, Retail Therapy, and the Allure of Espresso Vivace ... In which I narrowly escape the jaws of REI, and discover a new espresso drink.
May 24: Red Cup, White Beans, and Coffee 101 ... In which you will find an explanation of coffee growing and roasting, given by an overly caffeinated Rose.
June 12th is Graduation! Stand by, friends.

Airport Coffee - SeaTac
(Written for The Seattle Weekly.)
This morning found me standing in line -- a regrettably long line -- in the quest for an americano at Sea-Tac Airport's N-terminal Starbucks. Airport coffee, if you don't know, is an experience all its own; a separate coffee subculture, consisting of epic lines, rushed people, and crazed baristas. Particularly before morning flights, people pile into lines by the dozens, already listening to their names being last-called at their gates, but so desperate for caffeine that they're willing to risk it. It is almost excusable that you can count on getting crappy coffee.
