Ah, 1999. Lance had just come back to win his first Tour, the world has about to be destroyed in an unspecified millennial cataclysm, and the masses had newly become infatuated with a trend called "blogging," wherein people shared personal information online, ostensibly with more than 140 characters.
Our new blog won't be too much different. Here the happy, healthy and informationally-wealthy baristas of Juan Pelota Cafe will log in to share their coffee knowledge and the latest cafe news.
Our first dispatch: Nicole is back!
After a long hiatus in the Pacific Northwest, our very first barista is back behind the Juan Pelota counter. (I'm sure the flowered apron is soon to follow.)
Wow! Congrats on new Blog! Coffee forever! See you at the coffee tasting.
ReplyDeleteThe Coffee Tasting held at Juan Pelota on Sunday the 7th of Feb was a brewing success. RC Beall and Beth taught us about coffee beans, some of the history of the coffee economy. grading of coffee, grinding and brewing, filters and French presses and much more. I must visit their shop on 4th street near Saltillo Plaza - they'll be right there when the train pulls in - someday. But, for now, what a great spot for a bicyclist's coffee stop. Met some interesting folks at Juan Pelota and conversations were fun. Here's to drinking more coffee and here's a big THANK YOU to Juan Pelota.
ReplyDeleteSo February 8th starts out a warm day which I should have guessed would mean something crazy awesome was about to happen. 10:05 who should saunter up to the counter but Donny Darko himself Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal. He ordered coffee, took off his shirt at the point of sale island and went downstairs to pedal hard. He's even better looking in person.
ReplyDeleteBreaking out of afternoon nap only to confront challenge of comment-VS-post options ugh - a circumstance that calls for a brief comment, brisk latte, and salty oatmeal cookie.
ReplyDeleteHA! Vita est dolce
