I just bought a bulk bag of beans grown at my favourite cooperative in honduras (organic, shade-grown, bird-friendly). so I probably won't need to buy coffee until 2025(!). I'll need to find an airtight container for storage so they stay fresh.

I've also found a store that will sell the unroasted beans, and I'm intrigued at the prospect of roasting my own.

interestingly, since I've switched to pour-over, my blood glucose spikes; so something's getting through that wasn't with drip. I use a high ground:water ratio with a highly permeable reusable filter, so my coffee is much thicker (the flavour is more robust, and the texture is more full-bodied) than drip. [this spike doesn't happen in other zero-sugar caffeine drinks.]

Don’t fuck with coffee! If it tastes bad it’s probably poor quality and poorly made.

Traveller vs. Tourist

I have to say that I have a slight problem with referencing these two terms (traveller vs. tourist) against each other– not because either is bad, but because it implies there is a hierarchy in how we ‘consume’ travel.

Travel snobbery…

These ‘traveller advocates’ seem to push that if others don’t fit within a strange set of rules of being a traveller, you become a social pariah – or worse, a tourist! Gasp!

Many of the articles I have read on ‘being a traveller’ seem to ridicule and belittle the idea of being a tourist, which in reality is nothing more than snobbery in an area in which we can all enjoy and consume travel, albeit slightly differently. Many traveller advocates say how they go ‘off the beaten track’ or how they choose to immerse themselves in the local culture or interact with locals – this may be the case, but do these experiences make them a better human? I think not. I personally don’t think it makes anyone more or less of a traveller or a tourist.

This is stereotyping at its finest. 👇🏻 making the tourist out to be a complete asshole… funny thing is… the so-called “traveller” can be an asshole just as much.. if not more because they’re such snobs. How about we say, no matter how you travel, just don’t be an asshole?

The “Experience” is what matters

In my opinion, every single person is a traveller and a tourist, it doesn’t make any difference if you jet off every year on a long-haul Brazilian adventure where you decide to stay in a Favela while learning Portuguese or if you go to sunny Spain for a family holiday with the people you love – they are both valid, highly personal experiences that you will no doubt cherish for the rest of your life. After all, travelling has always been about making memories. Don’t ever feel you need to travel in a way you are not comfortable with – you are the only person that truly knows the impact that travel has on yourself. After all, we all learn and enrich our lives through our experiences and those experiences will happen no matter if you’re a tourist or a traveller.

People who are constantly making this distinction between being one or the other, are just snobs. Pretentious.. “I’m not that because I’m this.. I would never be that because this is better…” it’s so gross.

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about the way you travel. Do the touristy things! See the sights in places you can’t see those things in any other place! It’s ok. In fact it would be silly to come to Chicago and not do the tourist sky deck of the sears tower or visit navy pier or take the architectural boat ride along the Chicago river.

You do you. Don’t let bullies make you feel less than for the way you choose to travel. ✈️

Being an asshole doesn’t make you a tourist, just like identifying as a traveller doesn’t make you “better” than the rest, it just makes you an asshole. Don’t be an asshole!

20.10.23, friday

who needs a full night of sleep when you can comp that with a cup of instant coffee that has 2 cup’s worth of instant coffee powder, a double shot hazelnut cappuccino and a double espresso? the caffeine varieties are endless

things done today:

2h lecture

1h of coding

grocery store x2 (bc i’m dumb and impulse bought that hazelnut oat milk and I got so distracted with thinking abt the cappuccino I’d make once I got home that I forgot like 40% of the things I was actually supposed to get)

#also I’ve finally managed to get my espressos into that 23-25second timeframe (the sweet spot)#can’t say I’m a coffee snob when my daily first coffee is that monstrosity of ’’instant coffee with 2 cup’s worth of coffee’’ like that’s #actually a crime but it’s for the quick caffeine bc i’m too far gone with caffeine addiction #but i love espressos so finally making like actually good ones is a treat #bookblr #studyblr #booklr #aesthetic #books #study #reading #read #book #studyspo #october 2023 #2023

“Small Oatmilk Latte on Bar!” You shout over the loud ambient sounds of coffee being made, milk being steamed and frothed, and voices speaking in a dull hum.

“I asked for whole milk!” The customer scowled at you across the bar, nearly spitting at you in their ire.

“No. You didn’t.” A voice growled intensely from behind you.

“It’s okay Crosshair–”

“No. I took their order, they asked for Oatmilk.” He pushed you aside and leaned over the bar, smiling that toothy smile at the problem customer. His voice rumbled, “You can take the latte or you can leave.” The large form of Wrecker appears behind you, casting a shadow over the customer, “Your choice.”

“Th–the latte’s fine!” The customer all but screams, takes the latte and runs away, doorbell ringing as they exit.

Crosshair laughs, deeply amused.

“Cross– we can’t just keep intimidating the customers!” you chide, despite feeling a deep sense of relief that you avoided being shouted at by another unruly customer.

“That wasn’t a customer, that was a wailing banshee…”

Wrecker nudged your shoulder, though gently, it still nearly knocked you off your feet, “They’ll figure it out eventually.”

“Figure what out? That if they come to CF99 they get yelled at and threatened?”

“That they can’t bully us. Or you.”

Crosshair’s face was smug, something unidentifiable sparkling in his eyes, “Pretty sure Hunter would rip a face off if he caught someone bullying you.”

“I do not believe, even with Hunter’s capabilities, that he could ‘Rip a face off’.” Tech’s voice broke in now, his face popping up from around the corner at the drive thru.

“It’s an expression, Tech.” Crosshair rolled his eyes.

“Is it an expression for ‘I need therapy?’” He quipped back instantly.

At the morning staff meeting, Echo presented a new challenge to the CF99 team, “Overall customer feedback shows that they want something new.”

“New…The pastries from Daisy’s Bakery wasn’t enough?” You asked. Pastries had just been added a few months ago, thanks to Wrecker’s love of the bakery (and the Baker) down the street.

He sighed, “That definitely boosted our sales, but no. They want a new drink.”

“It’s coffee, not an experiment. It doesn’t need all the frills.”

“Not everyone likes plain espresso, Crosshair.”

“Pansies.” He mumbled under his breath, crossed his arms over his chest and glowered.

“Anyway, I need a couple of you to take point on that new drink. Any volunteers?” Tech instantly raised his hand, always excited for a new challenge. “Not you Tech…”

“Yeah, the drink has to actually be palatable…” Wrecker elbowed Tech and laughed heartily.

He adjusted his glasses then held up one finger, “According to my research, the flavor notes hit all the flavor receptors at once. It should have been entirely palatable.”

Echo just rolled his eyes and continued, “I need you on Drive Thru, anyway. No Cross– you just want to avoid the customers.” Crosshair’s sighed deeply, but didn’t deny. “Wrecker’s the best with the Customers so we need him on register…” Echo looked pointedly at you then Hunter, “You and Hunter willing to give it a shot? It doesn’t have to be too fancy, just good coffee and something that we haven’t served before.”

“Okay.” You shrugged, feigning nonchalance, despite the excitement bubbling inside your chest.

“Uh–” Hunter glanced sidelong at you, mouth open to speak.

Echo cut in, standing up to signal the end of the meeting, “Great! Now let’s try not to scare away any more customers…”

You and Hunter are left alone to plan in the break room, where Echo and Tech had set up a temporary Barista station with selections of Caf beans from Endor to Mutunda with a variety of roasting styles and flavor notes. There were caf creamers and alternatives and a multitude of flavorings and additions to make nearly any combination of a special brew.

Hunter was nothing if not efficient, so he set himself to grinding and brewing samples of each caf for the both of you to taste as you made your selections.

“So… What’s the plan here?”

“Taste the caf. Choose additional flavor items. Make the drink. Save the world. Mission accomplished.”

“Oh, sounds very important. How can I help, Commander?” You snap off a sloppy salute.

“At ease, soldier.” He chuckles, eyes sparkling with humor, “Why don’t you try to narrow down the additions… make some flavor groups?”

“On it–sir.” You wink at him, then quickly turn away, your ears burning.

You both work quietly for a while, selecting different combinations of flavor additions while he narrows down caf beans by preference. He is a nice, calming presence, and you, not for the first time, glance appreciatively at his handsome, prominent profile. He’s focused, his brow furrowed in that soft intensity you’d noticed while he works. He exhales at the strand of hair that came loose of his red bandana, now partially obstructing his view. You can’t help but smile at him, but you shake your head and return your focus back to the flavor profiles you were creating. Now isn’t the time to swoon, you decide.

Hunter shifts periodically, each time getting closer and closer to you, causing you to hold your breath involuntarily and sigh heavily when you release the breath. You swore you heard Hunter chuckle quietly upon the third instance, but decidedly ignored that as wishful thinking.

By the time you both had finished with your tasks, Hunter’s arm was softly brushing against your own as he moved the caf closer together, “These ones are the best…”

You know your cheeks are likely flushed with how hot your face feels right then and you nod, gathering your preferred flavor palettes and placing them next to the remaining cafs.

Hunter’s pics for the caf blends are one dark roast with notes of cherry, dark chocolate, and amaretto, one medium roast with notes of cinnamon, star anise, and meloorun, and one light roast with candied jogan fruit, salted caramel, and brown sugar.

“Oh! These are my favorites!”

“Are they?” Hunter’s eyes flashed with amusement and something else you couldn’t identify, “Uh- what do you have?”

“Spiced plum, Blood Orange, and Cinnamon for syrups. Sweet Cream Cheese or Whip for an optional topping, and we could try this mulled wine flavored drizzle for some extra interest.”

You both spend time mixing flavor combinations until you find one that is just right.

“It works well hot or iced, too!”

“Hmm, maybe we do make a good team–soldier.”

“Well, you make it easy, Commander.”

Crosshair leaned against the door to the breakroom, arms crossed and light smirk on his face, “You two done flirting? Or should I come back with a holo recorder?”

“A holorecorder!?” Your eyes widen in panicked shock.

“For blackmail. That was embarrassing.”

Hunter sighs, “Just– go get Echo. We finished the drink.”

Crosshair instead took three long steps forward, eyes squinting at the drink you’d both created, “Ugh– looks like a dessert. You sure that’s coffee?”

“CROSS–”

He rolls his eyes so far back into his head they could’ve gotten lost back there, turns on his heel and leaves.

“So… were you flirting or…?”

He chuckles and whispers your name softly, reverently, “I’ve been flirting with you for a long while now, actually.”

“Really? I thought—”

“You think we have time for me to kiss you before they get back here?”

“God–I hope so!”

He needs no further encouragement, one hand pulls you flush against him, the other cradles your head and his fingers tangle in your hair. His mouth captures yours, pressing softly at first, the more insistently in response to your willingness. Your hands clutch at his shirt and you wish with all your might that you weren’t at work right now…

You hear a deep, from the depths of his being, sigh and Echo groans, “Can’t you two do that off the clock?”

“How about tonight, then?” Hunter asks, pulling away reluctantly, trailing his fingers slowly across your back as he releases you.

“Tonight. Yes.” Your response is stilted, biting your lip in expectation.

if you've never worked in a cafe before and you're writing a coffee shop fic i need you to please understand that starbucks is literally the only coffee shop that makes a caramel macchiato like im begging you not to say the character works in a fancy cafe and then have them make a sbux caramel macchiato bc it's not a thing in the real coffee world

#ive been a barista for 4 years #im a coffee snob and i will be mean about it (like actually tho ive argued irl over this)#a standard macchiato is two parts espresso one part milk and its 3ish ounces there is no caramel or vanilla involved #dont even get me started on cappuccinos #if youre writing about a specialty coffee shop a standard cappuccino is 6 ounces #“can i get a large cappuccino?”#NO #YOU CANNOT
