Coffee Connoisseur 101

Like most things in life, if you'd just delve into a particular topic, you'd be amazed at the rich tapestry of culture and stories involved with it. A great example is that of coffee. Now to the average consumer, they may not think too much of it. They know that it's widely accessible, and that it tastes good. And if you want to make some at home you'd just buy a coffee maker and some beans.

Well that is a great outline for the coffee culture, but you can literally expand on each specific element of coffee ranging from it's history, to how it's purchased, how to properly taste test coffee, roasting strategies, grinding techniques, brewing tips, serving styles, and how to grow coffee itself.

If you are remotely interested in coffee, then you owe it to yourself to get some books on this massively interesting topic. There are even entire careers beyond being a server within the coffee industry from the science of coffee, to business, and logistics. It's much more than meets the eye and yet it's something we take for granted on a daily basis.

I am sure that once you've learned more about the nuances and intricacies of coffee, your coffee days will never be the same. You will know that being a connoisseur is not just about being a pretentious know-it-all who makes others feel dumb, but someone who truly knows how to enjoy real coffee.

Coffee Shop Conversation and Reality Check

So today someone asked me at a Coffee Shop: ‘Whattdaayyaa know?" I did not have time to answer their question in its entirety so I let them know what was on my mind. First recently when I was in Las Vegas for a Large Heavy Equipment show and I talked with a Taxi Cab Driver from the Middle East, who said he made about $150.00-$250.00 per day average in the on season and $80-100 in the off season, he was an independent contractor and he was Muslim, Islamic or whatever and he went into the his view of America based on the people he gave a ride to in LV.

Now realize people go to LV to screw off and unwind and party hard. And there is every vice possible in that city of sin. He had very harsh words to say about the US. It offended me a lot, but I was trying to get inside his head and based on his view of the world and his input of observations, I guess I understood why he thought what he did. I of course did not agree, only began to understand. I believe this individual would be capable of delivering logistics to terrorists. And he was only a random meeting. Remember recently a taxi cab driver in Palestine area drove suicide bombers around the city looking for large gatherings and he said; "They never suspected me." Hmm, well I would have and we should be looking at these taxi cab drivers as people who may assist others in crimes against the people of the United States of America.

Do not be blind America; we have those amongst us who are NOT with us. They may not be against us yet, but they are certainly not with us and their minds and hearts are with our enemies. Pay attention there. Think on this.
