Panera Puddle

Thursday we had a staff meeting at work. Usually we rotate who brings a snack. To my delight this week someone brought coffee to the meeting. I made it through the whole meeting without spilling. But on the way back to my office I tried to take a sip and walk at the same time...did not work. I spilled coffee on my sweater. There were no lids at the meeting.

Coffee: Light Roast from Panera

First Sweater of the Year

So its been cold, but I've been avoiding busting out the sweaters until today. Which I spilled coffee on.

Coffee: I tried something new today. I got coffee from a bakery down the street, Amycakes. I usually can't go there, but I was running a little late and they were open. I wouldn't recommend going there for coffee, it was kind of weak. They didn't have the coffee labeled. But I would suggest going to get a cinnamon roll – AMAZING!

Desk Drip

Spilled coffee on my desk. It was a week ago so I can't remember what coffee this was.

Meeting Moka Java

Yesterday I brought my coffee into a brainstorming meeting. I was kind of cradling my coffee in my arms (I can't remember why now, but my hands were full) and anyone who knows me, know I gesture when I talk, so I spilled the coffee on the side of my shirt and on my arm. Also, happy birthday to my friends Andy and Kristen...this spill is dedicated to you.




Coffee: House from the Coffee Ethic
I finally asked what this blend. Its a mix of Moka Java and Sumatran Coffee.

These are another older spill from September. Sorry the pics are kind of blurry, sometimes I snap them pretty quick at work.

Old Brew

This is from a few days ago, I am determined to get more timely with these posts. Spilled coffee on my shirt. You can see I was wearing my headphones as I almost always do at work.




Coffee: House from the Coffee Ethic

This is an old one I found on my camera. I actually remember spilling this one. It was in the lobby of the building I work in. I believe it was coffee from the Mudhouse.

Forgotten Coffee

This morning I got up on time to get ready and make coffee. I've had really good beans at home, the Panama, from the Coffee Ethic. I got everything packed up for the day and drove to work, leaving the coffee I made at home. So I bought a cup this morning instead.

I don't know when I made this little spill. At some point I looked down and there were some drips on my shirt.


So this fall I haven't been amazing at updating on time. So I found a slew of pics on my camera that I will probably periodically add whenever I have a current posting. So here are a couple of oldies.

Coffee: The Coffee Ethic's House blend. You know I like it.

Lidless

So, I've been buying my coffee from the coffee shop lately because I have had no time to buy beans to make coffee at home. ( I guess I could have bought them at the coffee shop, but for some reason I've associated this with going to the grocery store.) So this morning, I borrowed a little of my roommates coffee and made it at home. I looked up in the cabinet and grabbed the only travel mug; filled the cup, and the grabbed the lid. But oh no! the lid doesn't fit. I guess I can't find the matching lid, because there weren't anymore in the cabinet.

So I have to bring the coffee I've made now to work in a cup with no lid. I was doing pretty all morning. I drove to work and walked in with out spilling any. Then I was shuffling papers around on my desk (that phrase makes me sound so business-y) and knocked over my entire cup of coffee. I knew this no lid thing was a bad idea. Spilled the entire cup on my desk. Luckily my head phones still work after getting drenched. And I had to buy a cup from the Coffee Ethic, because I barely had drank any.

Also I wanted to mention that I will be uploading a few more older photos that I hadn't gotten up yet, but for once I wanted to post on on the day of.

Sad sad empty cup.

Coffee: I'll have to find out this evening. I can't remember what my roommate had.

From Times Passed

I found this image in my email. Its old, but I've been going through trying to get caught up on lots of loose ends, including some old posts.

This is from this past Spring. I was over at a girlfriend's home. We had dinner, and picked up Starbucks on the way. I spilled it on my shirt in my car before I got there.

Press Puddle

I was over at my boyfriend's home. He had a press of coffee sitting on the counter. Well I gesture a lot when I talk and I was standing near the carafe. My hand hit the press and spilled it all over the counter. I wasn't actually drinking this coffee so I don't know what it was.

Summer-Part 4

Well, I'm finally getting my last summer photos up, and since I haven't been around much since I got back for the summer I have several photos that are from the last few weeks. I should be getting those up ASAP so look for them.

Spilled coffee inside the cabin, something I wasn't actually aloud to bring in (no food in the cabin this summer). But I accidentally kicked my cup while sitting on my bunk.

Guess what I was reading this morning.

8-7-09

Hey there's my leg...awkward

8-8-09

Hard to see but there is a spill on my t-shirt.

8-9-09

Ok this days sequence of photos was funny in retrospect but aggravating at the time. I set my cup of coffee on a janky card table we had under the kitchen tent. The table was not sitting on a level surface. So I bumped the table and my coffee spilled into the puzzle box. Well I moved the cup and began to wipe up the spill. But that shook the table again, causing another spill. You can see this began a vicious cycle. I repeated this 4 more times! Ahhh

If you look realy close, I spilled the water while trying to fill the french press.

Vineyard Happy Medium

I was reading the sign on the wall at church. They had a recipe posted behind the counter for "Vineyard Happy Medium Coffee" This kind of made me laugh, as I spilled the happy medium coffee while trying to fill my cup. I'm not that talented at white the carafes. My camera hasn't been charged in a few weeks because I left my charger at camp. I need to drive back out there and get it. So my friend had her new laptop out and I ran over and grabbed her mac book and used photo booth to take the picture, then emailed it to myself.



Coffee: I didn't ask, but I know the church uses Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
Ok I have this theory that Dunkin' Donuts coffee is the gateway drug of the coffee world. People who usually drink large can coffee but don't like good coffee, start out moving up by drinking Dunkin' Donuts. They walk around saying,"oh yeah, this is Dunkin' Donuts, its good coffee." And in my opinion its ok coffee, but it opens their world to coffee that doesn't taste like bittter water. Then they can start sampling single origins.

Back at the Office

I still have some updates from the summer, but as you can see I'm back at the office. The Coffee Ethic has new lids for their large coffee cups, but they don't fit quite so well. Each time I picked up my cup ad dribble kept coming out the side. Tom, one of the owners tells me these lids won't be sticking around so long.



Coffee: House from the Coffee Ethic
I really need to ask again when the actual bean is; I've forgotten. It's very good though.

The Coffee Song

I tried a new coffee shop in town called Sinatra's Coffee Gallery. I actually intended to go to the Coffee Ethic, but I accidentally drove passed it.

Ok first of all I don't get why coffee shops are suddenly being called galleries. They may display art their but the coffee itself is not art, so the establishment is not a gallery. Though sometimes I feel like the coffee is art.

I spilled this coffee in my car, just a little dribble on my car. When I set the cup in my cup holder, the sleeve around the cup bumped the side and tipped it over. A tiny bit spilled onto the console of my car.

Coffee: Kenya AA, from Sinatra's Coffee Gallery.

This was not good. I usually love Kenyan Coffee, but this tasted like the shop ground their flavored beans with the regular ones, because it tasted like cinnamon... yuk. I was not a fan, I may give this place another try, it had a cute atmosphere, but so far they've scored no points with me.

Ok this is not a coffee spill, it's cranberry juice, that I spilled on myself on the plane ride home from Chicago. But I thought you all might want to see it. In the vain of full disclosure I wanted to order coffee, but I guessed the American Airlines coffee just wasn't going to cut it. I had to sit like that for almost the whole flight.
