Late last year, a nearby, below average cafe closed down. No biggie because there’s a cafe every three doors in this town.

In recent months, it appeared to be getting an interior makeover, then walking the dog this morning, I finally noticed some signage of what’s to come and when.

It’s going to be a specialty coffee joint selling a very highly rated local bean, which will be a bit more unique to the area. And the reno inside looks great. Looking forward to guzzling some great coffee come end of June.

Enjoying new beans from Puerto Blest, one of my fav coffees from here. This one comes from Guatemala. Superfucking tasty.

Bought a French press on sale and made my first French press coffee today. Probably a little too weak, easy adjustment, but enjoyed it.

I should get mine out of the cupboard. It’s fun to experiment with ratios and steeping times to find your flavor.

I had a hard time at the Starbucks Reserve Roasters in Chicago. They had a Bourbon barrel aged coffee for $80/lb. I passed on a 1/2 lb bag, and now I'm regretting it.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Pretty cool place. Mrs Wease and I went with Dad and Mrs Dad a couple years back. IIRC, Mrs Wease had an espresso martini.

That’s right! Ones of the biggest times in my life I wish I liked coffee.
