Hyper Espresso.

Illy has a new home espresso machine coming out in September according to an article in today's Wall Street Journal. This new machine (US$600~US$800) requires Illy's proprietary coffee filled capsules, which comes in about $50.00 per pound of coffee. As far as I know, it doesn't do latte art...

Overdosing on Espresso.

Poor girl, and I am not going to make fun of her...OD on espresso is not a good feeling. The aftermath of a caffeine binge during my Seattle trip two years ago is still fresh. I can't blame those shots because I was constantly on the go with every little to eat and not properly hydrated. I didn't end up in the hospital, just a big a$$ headache on the following morning.

The New WBC Champ.

James Hoffmann, the barista champion from UK is crowned as the 2007 World barista champ this past weekend. His name has emerged from the coffee-centric forums and blogs onto the front page of the international news (although all of them misspelled his last name). I don’t know James personally, but I follow his blog and Flickr. In the end, I congratulate James and his team for the job well done.
