It's been a while since I busted out the awesomesauce Quest M3 coffee roaster, but did so today, doing three "tuning" roasts to re-familiarize myself with this fantastic device. A bit dark, but it was a tuning roast. 2nd and 3rd turned out better. Absolutely love it. The "Flair 58+ 2" of roasters.

Working on our blog introduction post for the xBloom Studio. I literally spent 30 minutes massaging the intro. (writers out there will totally get where I'm coming from on that). Had the idea, just couldn't make the words flow... Until they did.

Also deserves a fresh promo: from 2024, Natia dives into how lower espresso doses can have pleasant results in your home coffee adventures, including less caffeine. She wants all the taste nuance (ie, not soup), with a lighter caffeine hit. #espressofeed coffeegeek.com/blog/techniq...

Working on our Snapshot Review of the Flair 2GO travel espresso brewer. Some to love. Some to really not love. And with the influx of USB-C espresso brewers, is this now a bygone era product?

In our 24 years online at CoffeeGeek, we have never published a truly "political" article before. That changed last month when we published one of the most important articles we've ever written. Silence is No Longer an Option: Why Coffee Geeks Must Reject Fascism.

Later today, we're taking a very coffee-specific stand against the growing Fascism in the USA. Stay tuned.

So @lukemiani.bsky.social, a popular Mac and Apple evangelist and influencer on Youtube, had the absolute balls to take a public stance against the growing facism in the USA right now on his channel. I sincerely applaud him, and hope I can find the same courage, soon. A must watch.

We need to talk about Big Tech's role in Fascism.

The Kruve Propel is the well deserved defacto standard when it comes to espresso cups for tasting and evaluation. But they are big, and fragile. Kinto of Japan has hit the market with several double walled glass cups that could bring the fight to Kruve. We're evaluating them for CoffeeGeek soon.

Another beastie on the review bench for a Snapshot Review on CoffeeGeek: the Flair Wizard, the nifty milk steaming solution they have for their lever machines, that works on all sorts of heat sources, including some quirky Asian-sourced butane burners we bought for the task.

I am absolutely gutted by the news of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. I'm Gen-X, and Reiner was the creator of the absolute finest films of my lifehood. I still think Princess Bride is the most perfect movie ever made. This is so sad. RIP Rob and Michelle. You will be missed, dearly.
