Coffee Notes from All Over

More on the USDA and Organic coffee certification kerfuffle when I can get to it… meanwhile here’s a link-dump of coffee notes from all over:

Ever wondered what it takes to get to championship levels in Barista competition? Practice, practice, practice. (Youtube.) I really like Jen Prince’s point of view — and her humble approach to the bean — and having been on the receiving end of one of her stellar espresso macchiatos when I was last in Seattle I think she’ll go far.

I don’t really have much of a life outside of coffee.

Kindred souls, huh?
You might want to get in line now for a couple of new beans from Paradise Roasters. I’d love to sample (hint, wink, nudge) the Biloya Special, a small-lot Ethiopian natural process that took top dollar at the 2007 Ethiopia Limited auction, and the Kenya Auction Lot #398 Oakland Estate Gesha which has such an interesting story you should really go read all about it.

Finally! Some love from Kenneth Davids for Green Mountain’s classic Mocha Java Blend, long one of my faves, and a bit of a sleeper on the Green Mountain offering sheet.
