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!

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.

Summer - Part 2

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

Looks like I spilled some on the picnic table.

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

Dripping from my chin...

to my shirt.

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.

Finally, I can blog about Coffee Ethic Coffee

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.

Early Morning Emergency

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

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.

Another formerly white Sleeve

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

Blends

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

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

Morning Routine

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.

Dot Spot

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.
