PULL: coffee blog

This is about coffee...all things coffee...but like the Bible, its really about something bigger. This is about coffee, but its about what coffee can do, its about the coffee shops that are doing good in the world, its about how coffee can change us, how it can change farmers' lives, how we can appreciate it more, how we can go to inspiring environments that will bring us all together, how we can find a moment of peace as the warmth of a fresh cup hits the pallet, filling us with thoughts of "yum" or "ahhh". That's what we're about here.

The topics expressed here will appear each monday, and will range from basic barista operation, to new bean varietals, to coffee shops. Check it out, as each week we highlight one coffee shop....no, the shop will never be Starbucks.

The word "PULL" for all you newbie baristas out there, is a verb describing when water is passed through coffee grounds at a pressure, forming an extraction of that coffee. The result of a pull: espresso.

If you have a coffee shop, or topic you'd like us to write about, send an email to pullcoffeeblog@gmail.com

  1. A very Rob Bell esque intro. I will look forward to following your blog (eventhough I don't drink coffee). Jamie does have 2 fresh bags of stumptown in the closet though.
