After I left Seattle, I made my way up to I-5 to Vancouver. I fully realize how blessed I was to call this city home for the first 29 years of my life. And the incredible coffee culture this city offers is one of the best in my opinion. But even with a greater amount … More Vancouver Coffee Experience

Following my time on holidays in Idaho, I made the drive west to Seattle. In a city that is the epicentre of many of the worlds best coffee shops, it was not an easy task to have to choose just a select few to visit when I was there for just shy of 24 hours. … More Seattle Coffee Experience

It’s been a wicked last few days on holidays here in Idaho. Super hot weather, hanging out with old friends, and some great downtime with my wife’s extended family. I’ve also been able to visit a few great café’s along the way. We’re still in Idaho, with tomorrow being our drive to Seattle. So far … More Coffee on holidays!

Starting on Saturday morning my family and I are heading out on 2 weeks of holidays. We’re making a few stops along the way on route to our final destination-Vancouver. So what you can expect on the blog over these next two weeks are a few stories, some café reviews, and other caffeinated shenanigans as … More Coffee Road Trip (aka Vacation)

This class was lead by Daisy Swain who works as a Baritsa for Phil & Sebastian. She presented us with three different brew methods: Aeropress, V60, and Chemex. There was a great … More Eight Ounce Coffee Brewing 101

This afternoon I took a drive from Calgary up to Cremona. It’s about 45 minutes NW of the city along a gorgeous stretch of Hwy 22. Nestled away in this small town you will find Profound Coffee Roasters.   I first heard about Profound Roasters about a year ago when I saw their retail bags at … More Profound Coffee Roasters

Recently I had the chance to visit Société Coffee Lounge. It’s one of Calgary’s newer cafes and has really impressed me with some of their approaches to growing the coffee culture here in the city. They’re located at 1223 11 Ave. SW. Lots of available on-street parking. I met up with my buddy Bryan who loves … More Société Coffee Lounge

I cannot express enough how important it is to keep your coffee gear clean. I mean, you shower everyday…right? So why not take a few minutes to keep your gear shiny & clean too? The fact is, Alberta water is HARD. So you need to make sure you’re using proper cleaning products to ensure what … More Cleaning Day

I’m not one to get political. To be honest, it’s simply not an area that I invest a great amount of my time and energy into. That’s not always the case, and that’s what has prompted this post. You see, back in late may the US slapped tariffs on Canadian products–namely Steel and Aluminum (link). … More A Little Political
