I've been a fan of Intelly, particularly over other similar options like Blue Bottle, so when I was in Pasadena over the weekend and wanted coffee, I stopped in. It looked very different, like I stepped into a Blue Bottle store. I walked up, and ordered an espresso. As I waited,...

I see on social media that the line-ups at %Arabica at Yorkdale are starting to go down. Anyone have any opinions on the coffee?

I'm not naming the cafes we went to, the location, or posting pics since there are some negative comments. The point of this post is not to bash specific cafes, but to celebrate the home barista.

I recently returned from visiting family for the holidays. I roasted some coffee...

Found a great local roaster at our Costco in the Twin Cities (Eden Prairie) that I'd recommend. Everything I've had from Duluth Coffee Company has been very good to great so I'm imagining this will be too. Even though I just roasted a bunch of stuff I think I'll crack right into...
