BARISTA Field Trip


POPS! Joined us at Oddfellows for a beer.

The Coffee Cup emblem is hand cast pewter and each color is individually hand colored with durable enamel. This attractive mirror compact is constructed of aluminum in a stylish matte finish. The case measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/2″. Inside there are two mirrors one which is a magnifying mirror. Great gift for those girls on the go.

Black on Black II: Field of Beans


One of my favorite coffees from Mystic Coffee Roasters: a wonderful Sumatra Italian. The inspiration was for a photo "contest" assignment. The subject was "Black on Black"

Mini Espresso Cupcake


Espresso Mini

Here we have a chocolate cake with a mocha buttercream frosting topped with a chocolate/espresso bean.

Again, the cake was perfectly serviceable but nothing extraordinary while the frosting managed to keep the espresso flavor to a manageable amount (as compared to, say, your average Starbucks espresso based pastry, where you can’t help but notice the bean trumps all else). Light enough, flavorful enough, but at the end of this my teeth began to hurt. Ultimately they were a little too sweet for me.

They were good cupcakes, but not very memorable. Part of this stems from the fact that, as I said, I chose to chocolate varietals. But even without that, they didn’t really stand out. I’m sure that whenever I go back, I’ll try another kind with a fruit or mint, but there too, there’s a bit of a problem: it takes me an hour to get to Bellevue Square, which is a mall with one or two shops that I might visit every three months or so, maybe, perhaps, and that’s stretching it. When I go back, I’ll try one but I’m not in any especial rush to do that.
