Delusional Caffeinated Rants

Starting the day with delicious coffee, served by happy staff, in beautiful cups, is going a long way to help me forget that it's Monday. #butfirstcoffee #CoffeeHunt (at SteamTank Coffee)

When the espresso came out on a large saucer, I kinda got the feeling that the barista was no longer trying. Whatever it was, it hadn't been dialed in well, very acid forward, low body, low sweetness. Not the best use of $7.5 when the first coffee I couldn't finish, and the 2nd wasnt really up to par. Quite unfortunate considering how delicious the coffee has been up to now. *sigh* went from wanting all of the coffees to wanting none... O_o #CoffeeHunt (at Bare Witness)

The roasty, slightly medical char of this Honduras filter has me thinking that someone put an espresso roast through the batch filter. Even so, there is a light honey lime sweetness right at the back. Think I might skip this coffee and try all the others. #CoffeeHunt (at Bare Witness)

Last chance for a Saturday morning drive for a while. Have to return the 2nd car back to where it came from. But for now, bring on the coffee 😆👍#CoffeeHunt (at Bare Witness)

Turns out that the 13min I gained by missing my train was the perfect amount of time to grab an espresso and a filter coffee. Coincidence....?? O_o Btw, love the design on this cup. Apparently this one is titled "Crown Jewel" by Georgina Hooper. #CoffeeHunt (at SteamTank Coffee)

Dropped boys off at dance and managed to find a new @backgroundcoffee café called @behind.the.beans.belrose. While they didn't have any single origin coffees available to drink, their 4 bean house blend was light enough to enjoy as an espresso, with the spice of the Indian and a lovely bright nectarine sweetness. They even had a cold drip coffee available made with an Ethiopia single origin. Deliciously silky milk chocolate with a light floral note throughout. Lovely find. #CoffeeHunt (at Behind the Beans)

Yum. Draft has a stellar Colombia espresso on today. Rich bite of juicy pear, with a slightly tart acidity in the finish. Clean and balanced. Awesome effort! 😆👍#CoffeeHunt (at Draft Coffee Roasters)

It's becoming far more difficult to convince my body to wake in the dark. Late nights and early mornings aren't really designed for me these days.... But at least I have coffee... 😆👍 (at SteamTank Coffee)

Time for my 2nd breakfast 😆👍 (at Di Bartoli)

Delicious! This Costa Rica Santa Rosa natural catuai was complex light and yum. Awesome vanilla all the way through with a complex sweet wood, like you'd get in a nice whisky. Awesome open for portable office indeed. 😆👍#CoffeeHunt (at Calibrate Coffee)

My thinking was, why be stuck in traffic when a perfectly good portable office location is just around the corner 👍😆 (at Calibrate Coffee)

While I have a list of cafes already, curious if there are any (coffee focused) cafes worth adding to a list for #NewYork #CoffeeHunt #coffeegeek (at New York, New York)

Good morning Mr Gitaba. What a fancy looking cup if batch brew you are from @single_o Burundi. #CoffeeHunt #coffeemornings #coffeegeek (at Single O)

Pre-coffee #coffeemornings is so much less interesting than post-coffee #coffeemornings (at Single O)

Nice to see that my friend is almost awake and warmed up. Time for this day to begin #butfirstcoffee (at Rosebery, New South Wales, Australia)
