I was in Nicaragua, packing up to leave the town of Ocotal for a long trip on winding roads with my friend Luis. Earlier that morning, Juan Ramon (owner of Finca Montelin) brought a bag of butter cookies for our...

You know how it is when you're talking to someone and coffee comes up in conversation, and the person is a consumer of inferior coffee, so when they ask you what coffee you drink, they expect you to say the...

In 2022 I was invited to speak to a class at the University of Tulsa about the way we use public spaces to create community. There was a general discourse about the design of The Rookery and how we intentionally...

Streetwear at its finest. The kind of streetwear you see models posing in on Instagram, with their immaculate makeup and oversized coat barely covering tights and a tank. The kind of streetwear you see backward on the head of a...

I never joined a fraternity in college, but I sure went to all the rush parties for the free food. I've been told that a frat guy can pin a sorority girl, and that indicates some sort of loose commitment (that the girl...

Any time someone asks me what espresso machine I recommend for home use, I tell them it's a bad idea. Making espresso at home is finicky, wasteful, time-consuming, and a maintenance headache. It's all of that at the DoubleShot and...

Coffees, like clothing styles, are constantly changing. That's one big difference between commercial coffee and specialty coffee. It's a seasonal crop, and while there are a few staples that never seem to go out of fashion, the majority of our offerings are...

Sometimes I pace around the office soliloquizing on the finer details of coffee or on grandiose generalizations about the state of our industry. Mark, usually eyeballs deep into his laptop, stops and watches me amble and ramble, wondering how deep the well of thought might extend, how it might end, and if there is hope interwoven into my usually-troublesome insights. And that’s why I was glad that Mark went with me to Portland last month to attend the annual conference of the Specialty Coffee Association. The Specialty Coffee Association.
