Lindsay Spills Coffee

Panera Puddle

2009-11-19T07:38:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-15T14:28:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-10T09:05:00.000-08:00

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

Meeting Moka Java

2009-11-09T07:43:00.000-08:00

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.

9-30-209

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

Old Brew

2009-11-05T07:52:00.000-08:00

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

9-29-09

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

2009-11-02T07:16:00.000-08:00

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.

9-13-2009

9-14-2009

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

Lidless

2009-10-13T14:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-07T07:35:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-04T13:58:00.001-07:00

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

2009-09-26T09:06:00.000-07:00

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.

8-6-09

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

8-13-09

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

Vineyard Happy Medium

2009-09-24T13:06:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-09T10:58:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-05T09:54:00.000-07:00

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.

Bachelorette Party Morning After

2009-08-30T15:25:00.000-07:00

Went to Chicago for a bachelorette party. We stayed out until 3 am. So needless to say, coffee was a must the next day. I made the coffee, but I spilled the water on the counter as I was making it.

Coffee: Kona Blend from Archer Farms (aka Target). It was really good. I often wonder how much Kona is really in the Kona blend, but it had a good medium taste. I've always thought Target coffee is good for the price.

The Side Pour

2009-08-27T15:08:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm not caught up an all the spills, yet they keep coming. So here are a fee more recent ones and I'll finish up the summer soon. This bag of coffee, when I bought opened it didn't open easily, so there are 3 holes in the packaging near the top. So, often when I pour the grounds into the coffee maker, some of them pour out the side through one of the holes... it's a delicate process really.

Coffee: House Blend, from Starbucks. I'm sure everyone has had this coffee, I personally don't like it that much, but it's left over coffee from camp.

Summer - Part 3

2009-08-27T09:09:00.000-07:00

More updates from this summer.

7-14-09

I spent some time drawing this summer and I drew my coffee cup. Then coffee was spilled on the drawing. It couldn't have been better. It should be confessed that I didn't actually spill this cup, one of the campers bumped into it.

7-23-09

It's hard to see but there is a drip just to the bottom right of the french press.

7-24-09

7-25-09

I spilled coffee on my journal. for some reason I was bored that day and I was copying the Cheetos logo.

Coffee dripping down my hand.

Spilled coffee on my foot too, check out how nast my foot is. It is pretty difficult to stay clean when camping for 3 months.

Summer - Part 2

2009-08-26T15:43:00.000-07:00

These are some more updates from the summer. Probably a third round will be coming soon.

6-20-09

Looks like I spilled some on the picnic table.

6-21-09

And a spill on my journal

6-22-09

Accidentally kicked my cup one morning when I left it sitting on the porch.

7-1-09

Dripping from my chin...

to my shirt.

7-5-09

And this is from the beginning of my first break from camp. I spilled coffee on the floor of the Coffee Ethic, my fav coffee place in Springfield. There was actually a bunch more spills on this trip to the Ethic but my camera died. If I remember right, I was drinking the Sumatra, and it's always good...made on the Clover.

Summer - Part 1

2009-08-26T07:02:00.000-07:00

Hi All,

I'm sure I've lost anyone who read this, but I'm back from a summer in the wilderness. As promised I took lots of photos. I didn't catch every spill, but I hope I don't leave anyone disappointed either. Here are just a a few of this summers spills.

6-7-09

On the ground.

This is where I made coffee every morning.

Here is the mug I used a lot this summer.

6-9-09

It's hard to see, but there is a drip on my hand.

6-14-09

You can see the spill on the bottom corner of my Bible, and my sweet bruise.

6-17-09

At the Ethic before the summer

2009-05-30T14:13:00.000-07:00

This post is way way after the fact, but a friend emailed me these photos we took before I left for the summer. I can't remember the story, chances are that I was just clumsy today. You can see the coffee on the table and my arm.

Reunion Tour

2009-05-30T03:41:00.000-07:00

You may recognize these coffee mugs, on Thursday I drove down to my of place of employment to see some old friends. We had coffee time as usual and I spilled the grounds on the counter. I'm excited to say they've upgraded. Instead of having coffee in the downstairs kitchen, or in the other building, publications now has their own coffee room. I believe this actually happened during caffternoon.

This next one is a guest spill, my former coworker spilled coffee on the table while filling everyone's mug.

Coffee: Arabian Mocha Sanani from Starbucks, mixed with Terra Del Soul from Archer Farms.

I wouldn't typically recommend just randomly slamming two coffee types together, but two nearly empty bags lends itself to creativity. Its hard to sat if either of these would be awesome on their own. I will say I've been told the Sanani is amazing and look forward to drinking that unaltered, and hopefully made in a french press.

Final friday... until the fall

2009-05-22T11:41:00.000-07:00

A lot of my friends know but I'll take this spill as an opportunity to explain my summer plans. Today is my last day of work as a designer until next fall. I've taken a leave of absence to work at a wilderness camp for the summer. I'm very excited to do this, but also hesitant that I won't be able to blog all summer. I won't have access to the internet.

But don't fear; I will still be photographing my spills through the summer. We will have coffee at camp. And when on break I'll be catching you up on all my drips and drops and coffee incidences. Two weeks form now is when I start at camp, so you'll still be able to read a few from now until then. However there will be some long weeks in between posts.

Hope you have enjoyed my post since I finally resurrected my blog, and I hope you'll be reading again this summer during the times I can post.

Coffee: House Coffee, from the Coffee Ethic
MMMM...Awesome!

Backpacking Breakfast

2009-05-16T07:31:00.000-07:00

This weekend I went backpacking in the Paddy Creek Wilderness with 2 friends. It was so nice to finally go. This was the third weekend I've tried but thunderstorms and more have interfered. Well Friday night we rode out a storm in the car and finally set up camp late. Woke up on Saturday morning, everything was wet and dreary. What better to get you ready for a day of hiking than a cup of coffee. We made breakfast and I whipped up coffee in my Jetboil (fun, because it was the first time I got to use it). As we were packing up the car, I set the cup of coffee on the trunk of my car and it slip off and spilled on the ground. Luckily I had already drank most of it. However somehow I still managed to get it all over me and my car. I don't even know how I got it on my back? Much thanks to Jen for sending me the photos.

Coffee: Some kind of coffee packets I bought from Target. They worked really well for camping.
P.S. After ridingout the storm, the rest of the weekend was beautiful!

Heavy Handed Landed

2009-05-15T06:24:00.000-07:00

This is a little old, because I forgot to put this up on Friday, but on Friday morning, I made a little coffee in my office. I set my mug down just a little too hard and splashed a little bit onto the edge of some papers on my desk.

Coffee: Kaldi's Espresso Roast.
Good dark coffee!

Finally, I can blog about Coffee Ethic Coffee

2009-05-11T14:57:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting for weeks and weeks to be able to write about the Coffee Ethic's coffee. This is the coffee shop right across from my office and it has in my opinion, the best coffee in Springfield, MO. I'm sorry I love some of the others, but their house coffee is awesome.

This has been difficult to write about on my blog, because they have the most spill proof cups in the universe. Well I finally spilled some on my sweater (right on the button); I was just being careless. I actually did this last week, but haven't had a chance to post since then.

And just last Friday the Coffee Ethic was kind enough to take me in during a tornado. I was in the parking Garage right as a huge storm rolled through, and they let me ride the 30 min out in shop, instead of the creepy basement of my office.

Coffee: Coffee Ethic House. As I'm writing this I realize I need to learn more about it. Details to follow. As I've already mentioned, I love it. Plus the people who work there are very friendly.

Distractions and Fat fingers

2009-05-04T10:50:00.000-07:00

Because I was in Columbia, MO I went to my old church that I went to in College. I had the chance to see a lot of familiar faces, and hear a message that was incredibly encouraging. (In case you’re thinking about it too: “Don’t give up” Psalm 31:24)

All that being said, I’m always fidgety when sitting for any length of time. So I spilled little drips of coffee on my friend’s chair, my hands and my chair. The last photo is the “tattoo” my friend Stephanie gave me in church. I just thought it was a fun photo.

This photo make my fingers look really fat and short. Do they look like that in real life? I don't think they do.

Saturday Spontaneity

2009-05-02T08:20:00.000-07:00

On Saturday I got up intending to have a productive day. I went to Kaldi’s, had some coffee and breakfast, and played around on my computer. I was thinking about my good friend Sara who I decided to call. Then instead of going to the park, which I had planned to do, I decided drive 3 hours and visit her.

I hopped in my car and drove to Columbia, MO. On the way I was drinking coffee, which I splashed a bit on my arm and jeans. It was so worth it, I had the best weekend with old friends!

Sorry, but I actually can't remember what kind of coffee I was drinking.

A funny thing happened on the way...

2009-04-26T20:26:00.000-07:00

I walked with a friend to church Sunday morning. It was beautiful! However whenever I try to do more things at the same time (i.e. walking, talking, drinking coffee) I can get uncoordinated.

Coffee: I want to say it was beans form Belize, but the Mudhouse website doesn't list that as something they sell? I guess I can't remember what kind I bought.

Early Morning Emergency

2009-04-25T10:22:00.000-07:00

Saturday morning I couldn't sleep (it seemed like the birds outside my window were in a marathon screeching contest) so I ended up going to walmart at 6:30 in the morning. Well I got back home around 8:30 and I was starving and had no coffee yet. So I quickly whipped up one of my favorite breakfasts, two eggs fried on toast, and ground some coffee beans. As I was filling the coffee maker with water I realized that we had no filters. I had to get creative. Though I didn't resort to brewing coffee in a stock, I stuffed in a paper towel. I was waiting for the disaster, but it worked surprisingly well. The spill actually came when I was trying to poor the water in the coffee maker. I enjoyed my coffee and breakfast on our AstroTurf covered stoop, where I also dripped egg yolk on my shirt. This kind of grosses me out a little.

Coffee: Guatemalan from Equal Exchange.
I need to buy coffee in smaller amounts.

Wenesday Lunch on the Square

2009-04-22T13:54:00.000-07:00

Had lunch with a friend on the Square today with a friend. It was so nice out! We got a sandwiches and a coffee from the Mudhouse. Along with good coffee, they have awesome sandwiches. I spilled my coffee in the shop while I was trying to put the lid on, then I spilled it on the other sleeve while we we were sitting outside. You may recognized this jacket, it's been washed a lot. I also had to include a photo of the sky because it was so beautiful.

These last two photos were taken on Sunday at church. I didn't get the images up right away, so I just included them on today's post. I spilled coffee on shirt during the sermon.

Coffee: Bolivia, from the Mudhouse.
According to the Mudhouse, this is Fair Trade and Organic. Shade grown in the mountain of Bolivia this coffee is full bodied, aromatic and slightly spicy. I really enjoyed this coffee, it is less acidic that what I've been making in my office. Yet again, I like the shade grown variety.

Mr. Coffee- he's getting up there

2009-04-20T13:42:00.001-07:00

Today I brewed coffee in my office in the morning and the afternoon (or what a few people I know call "caffternoon"). My coffee make is on the fritz. It leaks from the bottom and sometimes out the side. The bottom photo shows the soaked paper towel I stuffed under the make to prevent any further spillage. Looking at these photos reminds me that I really need to set the time on my Mr. Coffee, this really happened sometime around 3:00 pm.

Coffee: Guatemalan from Equal Exchange.

Moving On: Spilling Other People's Coffee

2009-04-18T13:10:00.000-07:00

This weekend I participated in the community cleanup day in Springfield with some members of my church. It was pretty fun and some hard work, we helped unload trucks full of trash from the west central neighborhood.

I met some pretty interesting neighbors today, and moved on to spilling other people's coffee. I met Jeff when I walked into his coffee cup. He was pretty nice about it, since there were refills available.

Coffee: Coffee from the QT.
He said it was pretty good, though I didn't try it.

This last photo is just a side note from a few days ago: it's really not a good idea to order coffee from an establishment that primarily sells alcohol.

Thursday Morning Question

2009-04-16T10:53:00.000-07:00

Today I bought coffee from the Mudhouse. On the way back from the shop to my office, the coffee spilled onto the bag I was also carrying. Then later I spilled a bit onto my desk.
I'm ending this post with a question: does anyone have any recommendations for a new French press? I'm looking for one that is lightweight and indestructible. Something that makes really good coffee, but I can also take camping.

Coffee: Gailey's Blend from the Mudhouse.
Really good, but I love breakfast at Gailey's.

Drip Drops

2009-04-15T10:12:00.000-07:00

Bought coffee in the student union today, from Kaldi's. I was there this morning to mail my taxes. Nothing like putting it off until the last minute. Actually, I've had them done for weeks, but I've been out of stamps. Then I placed them in the mail yesterday, but the letter carrier never picked them up. So I drove to the union today to drop my taxes off at the post office, but as I pulled up in the parking lot, I realized I hadn't placed the address labels on the envelope. So I drove back home to get the labels. Finally, back to the postoffice. Then on my way out I bought coffee.

I was in drinking the coffee in my office, when I accidentally set the cup down a bit to hard. Two tiny drip drops flew off. One landed on my keyboard and the other on my jeans.

Coffee: Birds and Bees blend from Kaldi's.
One of my favorites, it has a great medium flavor! The decription says that this blend is Latin American beans, using a shade grown meathod. By not cutting down the trees, the habitat of insects and song birds is protected. Sounds nice to me. I seem to really like shade grown coffees.

Time to Clean My Desk

2009-04-14T12:30:00.000-07:00

I've been needing to clean off my desk for a while. It has clutter all over, but now I have even more incentive.

Coffee: Guatemalan, from Equal Exchange.
I purchased this from Mama Jeans.

This is my new-ish coffee mug. Hand made, beautiful and easy to hold. Its awesome!

The Coffee Break is Over!

2009-04-10T16:21:00.001-07:00

Well I haven't posted in a really, really long time. So I don't know who will actually be reading this anymore but I've decided to dive in again. I've taken a long break for several reasons. The first is that I changed jobs. And, at my former place of employment we drank a lot of coffee. We drank it everyday together. It was great start to the day. At my current position this doesn't happen. Though I still drink coffee everyday, I don't drink with my coworkers, so I seem to be less likely to spill, since I'm not trying to talk and drink coffee at the same time.

Secondly I didn't have a camera anymore. I was using the camera from work, and when I changed jobs I needed to buy one. Well this is remedied! I now have a great little Sony, I can carry with me in my purse and capture every coffee stain. So stay in touch there will be many new spills and mishaps to come.

Here are the photos of the little accident I had today while working at home on some freelance work. My young press, given to me by one of my best girlfriends, fell off the coffee table and broke this afternoon. She intentionally got the plastic encased french press, for just this reason. Though it has held up well in the past, today the press met it's end.

Coffee: Guatemalan from Equal Exchange.
Super good, light flavor.

Here are a 2 pics taken a while back. This one I spilled on the counter at church.

This one I spilled while trying to refill at Cafe Berlin. One of the best breakfast places in Columbia, MO.

Another formerly white Sleeve

2008-10-20T08:42:00.000-07:00

Spilled coffee on my sleeve again.
Coffee: Sumatra Bold, from Starbucks.

Blends

2008-10-07T07:55:00.000-07:00

Today, I tried to carry too many things. I spilled coffee on my shirt while walking from one building to the next. Then, not thinking, I set the coffee cup on my sketch pad.

Coffee: We made out own blend to day (a combo of the remaining Sumatra and the Guatemala Antigua) From Gevalia. Pretty Good.

Seat belt

2008-09-30T06:28:00.000-07:00

Large spill on the way to work. If you can see it in the picture. There are two large spots on my shirt and a seat belt stencil in the middle (hot!).

Coffee: Pike Street Cafe coffee

Large spill on the way to work. If you can see it in the picture. There are two large spots on my shirt and a seat belt stencil in the middle (hot!).

Coffee: Pike Street Cafe coffee

Slosh

2008-09-18T08:19:00.000-07:00

I moved my cup too quickly on my desk and sloshed it onto some papers.
Coffee: Guatemala Antigua (from Gevalia)

White Sleeve?

2008-09-17T08:53:00.000-07:00

Spilled coffee on the sleeve of my white jacket in the car on the ride to work this morning.

Coffee: Seattle Coffee (I can never remember the name of this coffee when I'm not actually reading it.) So Good.

Morning Routine

2008-08-21T06:11:00.000-07:00

Well, I haven't spilled coffee as much lately, which is a nice improvement, but today it was back to business as usual. I spilled this on myself driving to work. I think I've been neater as of late because about a month or so ago I switched to a new mug at work (I was wanting something girly). I've included a pic of the mug.

Coffee: The dark roast at the Conoco station near me apartment. There's no telling where the beans are from. Though surprisingly its not the worst coffee I've had.

Minneapolis Mishap

2008-08-15T06:04:00.000-07:00

Well, I've been out of town a lot. I went on a road trip with some friends to Minnesota (and 4 hours in Canada ). And still on a road trip, I can't keep from spilling coffee. Here is a quick pic and a really fun coffee shop in Minneapolis called Bob's Java Hut.

Coffee: I can't remember what this was, but it was good!

Coffee Adventure

2008-07-21T12:12:00.000-07:00

Well coffee this morning was a bit crazy! For a while now the grinder has been sounding more like a rocket ship about to explode. And today it finally did. It stated when no one could find the lid to the grinder. So we decided to improvise. First we tried a plate, holding is over the top, and using a straw to push the little button to make it start. But that resulted in the beans spilled on the chair. Resourceful as we are, we used a cutting board. That worked great for about 3 seconds until we heard a large crack noise. When we lifted the cutting board, there were chips of plastic in the half ground beans, the blade had come off and smoke puffed out of the grinder. Thus we went on a little adventure to Starbucks.

Coffee: Before the craziness is was Pinon Coffee (from New Mexico)

Hey, haven't posted in while, because I've been exceptionally neat lately.
But, Saturday morning at a friend's house in Farmington. It was a very round spot.
Coffee: Something Awesome from Seattle. I left the beans at her house.

Spilled the Beans

I pulled the bag out of the box upside down. (how do I do this all the time?)

Coffee: Moocha Java (From Gevalia)

Business As Usual

2008-06-17T08:05:00.000-07:00

There are a few types of spills I seem to make on a regular basis. Dripping down the side of the carafe while pouring a cup, and spilling water on the top of the coffee maker.

Coffee: Moocha Java (From Gavalia) Very good!
Props to the co-worker who brings this in!

2008-06-07T08:02:00.000-07:00

Ok, I just thought the date was fun. Drove to St. Louis for the weekend with friends. We stopped in at my parents house and I spilled this while pouring everyone a cup.

Coffee: Folgers from a giant red can. I need not tell you if it was good.

Rough Ride

2008-06-04T06:47:00.000-07:00

I carpool to work, and they van we ride in is very bumpy.

Coffee: Bistro Blend (Folgers Gourmet) It is not good. I'll be happy when I run out of this at home.

Overflow

2008-06-03T10:42:00.000-07:00

Today I poured too much water in the coffee maker, causing it to overflow. No one was paying attention.

Coffee: Combo of the remaining Kenya AA and Espresso Roast (from Starbucks). A surprisingly good blend.

Then I spilled while trying to pour the very full pot into my coworker's cup.

Poor Pour

2008-06-02T10:00:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I can't pour water into the coffee maker without it running down the side of the carafe and having it spill everywhere.

Coffee: Kenya AA (From Archer Farms)

Kitchen Switch-up

2008-05-23T11:02:00.000-07:00

This Friday mornings coffee was a disaster. This morning we switched kitchens from the usual morning coffee location, to the kitchen in a different building where I work. So I had to make coffee with a different coffee maker. I've used this one before, but I was out of practice. I forgot the inner holder, and just dropped the filter directly into the coffee maker, not good.

Coffee: Peruvian Sapito (Archer Farms)
Mild Roast

Then, after the chaos, I spilled coffe from my mug walking back from the Kitchen to my office. I guess that plastic they put in the hallways to cover the carpet, that everyone made fun of, served its purpose.

Grounds hit the ground

2008-05-22T12:08:00.000-07:00

Spilled the grounds before the coffee was ever made!

Coffee: Peruvian Sapito (Archer Farms )
Mild Roast...very good.

Pre-Spill

2008-05-21T10:29:00.000-07:00

I didn't even have coffee yet. I spilled what was left over in my mug from the previous day, right before I made coffee for that morning.

Coffee: San Francisco Bay - Colombian Supremo
Fair Trade

Swift Kick to the Cup

2008-05-02T07:38:00.000-07:00

Ok, not exactly a kick, but an elbow to my co-workers cup. Spilled coffee on the counter top.

Coffee: Moocha Java (from Gevalia )
This is different co-worker's mail ordered coffee. We thieved it from his office while he's "on vacation". It was good.

My Cup Runneth Over...

Travel Hazard

2008-04-14T08:01:00.001-07:00

Full cup of coffee, spill in transport from the coffee pot to my office. Mostly just hit the edge of my sleeve.

Coffee: Kenya Blod (from Starbucks)

Little Spills

2008-04-10T09:56:00.001-07:00

This one is a little hard to see, but I have drips of coffee running down the side of my hand.

Coffee: Kenya Bold (From Starbucks)

This one is actually from yesterday. Also hard to see, but there are a few drips on the bottom of my coat. I set my coffee cup on top of my car as I was getting out, but I park on a hill at work. The cup fell off the car, the lid popped off and a little coffee splashed up on my coat.

Coffee: Estes Perk (From Kind Coffee in Estes Park)
Roast: Dark

Welcome,
Pretty much I spill coffee almost everyday. I've been toying for a while about making this blog. Then this happened, so here is the first post. I didn't actually do this one to myself, my coworker spilled it on me. Enjoy!
