So where have I been lately? Busy that is where, sometimes life gets in the way of stopping and meditating over a good cup of coffee. I need to stop and slow down to record the entries of my coffee life for you fine folks.

Thanks to: http://www.seanrees.co.uk, for the graphic.

Most important critic

The tongue of the chief coffee taster for a worldwide chain of coffee shops has been insured for £10m ($13.95m).


Looks like I am not the most important critic of coffee in the world… this guy is.

Madcap Rumors

There has been rumblings about a new killer coffeehouse to open up soon downtown Grand Rapids that has nationally rated baristas. They already have their own coffee roasting company. Madcap Coffee. Check their site and you find that Ryan Knapp and Trevor Corlett are coffee craftsman that hold 25th and 22nd titles in the Nation! Be sure to click through to their blog for updates on when the grand opening will be. Could this prove to be a knockout punch to Bigby and Satrbucks downtown GR?… Stay tuned.
