Unique Coffee Mugs
Dec 13th
Anyone who knows me knows I love coffee and unique versions of things. These 11 amazing and unique coffee mugs are the perfect combo. Anyone want to get me one for my birthday? How about Christmas? Ha. I kinda like these, although I don’t think they’re very practical for hot drinks without a handle.
19 cent coffee at Noah’s
Aug 20th
As I was getting my bagel this morning, found out that coffee is only 19 cents at Noah’s Bagels–celebrating their 19th anniversary.
Alfred Peet, 1920-2007
Sep 1st
Peet’s Coffee founder Alfred Peet died earlier this week (Wednesday) in Oregon.
When Alfred Peet opened his shop in Berkeley in April, 1966 he started a coffee revolution. Nobody had ever seen top-quality coffee like this roasted in this unique style in America. The corner of Walnut and Vine quickly became a gathering place for UC Berkeley grads, undergrads, and faculty as well as local intellectuals, radicals, writers, musicians, artisans and any number of the colorful people who still make up Berkeley today.
All my friends know that Peet’s is what I go for. (Check out the “About” section in the footer below!) Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep at night after coming back from Asia. Not only do my taste buds love their coffee, but because I love the bay area so much, I really dig local companies and products (like my Timbuk2 bags and Scharffen Berger Chocolate, which has since been bought out by Hershey’s).
Recently, Jaime has introduced me to another exclusively San Francisco coffee company called Martha & Bros. I’m just waiting for them to open more locations closer to my neighborhood.
Thank you for your work, Mr. Peet. Coffee, dark chocolate, and something to carry them in. That’s all I need for life.
