Lead Author / Certified Coffee Addict
Jamie’s long, tumultuous love affair with coffee started before he could even pronounce the word.
When his mom refused to add a shot of espresso to his sippy cup – or even froth the milk – Jamie vowed that one day…

This site is Jamie’s attempt to share what he’s learned with other coffee lovers (and possibly recoup/justify some of the $ he spends on coffee gear).
I was taken by the power that savoring a simple cup of coffee can have to connect people and create community.
