HIGHLIGHTING COFFEE & COMMUNITY,
LOCALLY & ABROAD

A Collection of Coffee Blogs

26/4/2018

I'm relatively new to the culture of coffee. I've loved it for a long time - I even pretended to love it before I actually did, because it made me feel mature and better equipped to produce something brilliant - but I had no idea how much there was to KNOW about coffee. For most of my life I was thoroughly content to toss some cheap-bought grounds into a filtered-coffee machine and drink down whatever came out. I had no idea there could be so many complexities.

I joined on with The Meeting Place Cafe just a few months ago, and as I began my (intensive) barista training, I realized that coffee is actually a multi-faceted, thickly layered, science-laden PROCESS. From growth to roast to brew, there are a myriad of things you can or can't, should or shouldn't, do... A thousand variations to be found, a hundred mistakes to be unknowingly made!

But in my endeavor to understand more about coffee, the sprawling World Wide Web has come through for me. (Doesn't it always?)
This is an entirely opinion-based blog post - without a really regimented or specific list of criteria, I'm simply sharing the sites that did the best at both capturing my attention and educating me a bit more on the ins and outs of this very particular culture. I hope you're able to find the following collection of blogs and blog posts interesting, helpful, educational, or some combination of the three. Or some other positive, unlisted adjective.

So here's a glimpse of my maiden voyage to greater coffee education, via the wild internet. Happy exploring!

Every so often, we produce a little "just for fun" content here at TMPC. This month, we decided to make a poster regarding the many subtitles that can be given to a simple cup of coffee.

Which one is your favorite? Or which ones did we miss?

An Insightful Infographic: How Your Coffee's Hometown Effects Its Flavor

10/4/2018

This week, as we were tilling the web to discover what we wanted to share on the blog this week, we found this clean + simple, informative + helpful infographic depicting how each coffee-growing country's coffee beans differ in taste.

Coffee is, through and through, a science. But the science doesn't just pick up when you're trying to steam your milk at the perfect temperature for the perfect amount of time, when you're trying to factor in how the weather and the present season will flavor your shot... The science of good coffee starts with the homebase of the trees producing the coffee cherries that eventually become your coffee beans!

Climate, altitude, and soil are just a few of the factors that impact the growth of coffee cherries, all of which change with each unique country that has a hand in contributing to the world's production of coffee.

Here, we wanted to share with you an overview of an assortment of coffee-producing countries and what flavors can be tasted in their coffee. Take a look!
