I Love Thinkgeek

Get this in the hands of store management teams and watch the milk never be out of temperature.

This guy is the coffee guru of the week.

Scott McMartin is my hero. Alright, I don't actually have heroes but this guy is a certified Starbucks Coffee Master, Sommelier, goes to origin countries, does massive coffee cuppings and, it's all for his job. Okay, okay so, I know I may be romanticizing it a bit... And, you never know what a day is like for somebody, right? Well I'd be willing to give it a go. Plus this cat is a blogger and posts things like:

"Seven tasting terms that sound dirty...",
and about
his gastric distress in Chiapas, Mexico and Africa...



It must be bittersweet.




Here's his first entry. It's good stuff.

So I was inspired a long time ago by this song...

Lyrics to Mr. Coffee :


Morning has broken
MR. Coffee has spoken
The familiar wake-up call
sings to my ears
I wake up with a shrug
To the floor with a thud
Where in this hellhole is my coffee mug?
I can now face the day
on legal speed (The American way)
I'm sketching
I'm seizing
I'm spazing
I'm shaking
I can not stop spilling on my brand new shirt
I-I-I'm wired
I'm so inspired
I drank the entire pot
so off to work
Here I come to save the day
on legal speed (The American way)
Drinking coffee
I drink coffee
Drinking coffee everyday

And for so many, save the day we do, all of us Mr. and Ms. Coffees, eh?

Reusable Shopping Bags and Your Thoughts on a Direction.

Reuse the bags! Click here, click there. I am finding all these coffee industry related things to blog about, unfortunately it's not the coffee tastings... I hadn't intended this blog to go that way. I need your help. My readers are growing in numbers and I want your feedback.

Do I start a blog about giving back and all the things that are as much a part of coffee as the coffee, and keep Call Me Mr. Coffee a blog exclusively for my coffee tastings?!

Or is the information blogged herein thus far interesting and relevant, maintaining your curiosity and readership?

If you are looking for an exclusive Coffee tasting journal, then please speak out. I will continue to blog about all things coffee until I hear it from you.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, To Ori-gin We Go!

This is an amazing blog. I want to go to an origin country and do all this coffee stuff with all these cool people and stuff.

I'm warming up for my essay on why I should get to go, what do you think so far?!

Have I succeeded in creating a compelling and provocative argument that would require that you send all other applicants away, being unable to peel your thoughts from my aspirations?

No?

I'll keep trying.

as the economy is waning and many fat cats are liquidating or otherwise gripping their every penny possible, Starbucks Coffee Company is giving away money. And it makes compleat sense.
