Best cup of the year: Kenya Nyeri AA on a V60
15 g, 250 g of water at 96°C, three pours, 2:50. Blackcurrant and grapefruit, exactly like the bag says. Worth every krona of shipping.

Finished Latte Art 101 and poured a six-layer tulip!
Two months ago my hearts looked like potatoes. I finished the last lesson yesterday and this morning I poured my first clean six-layer tulip in a Brightwave Camp Mug. Thank you, Elena, for the feedback on my milk texture!

My first Home Roasting Basics batch tasted like a real roast
Followed lesson 5 exactly: 120 g of green Huila, first crack at 8:40, dropped 70 seconds later. Rested it four days and it tasted sweet, clean and nothing like my scorched attempts from last year.

Got the barista job!
Six months of practicing at home with this community, and today I passed my bar trial at a café in Atlanta. They said my milk was the best they saw all week.

Met five Brew Club members at the Farmers Market Pop-up
Stopped by the Brightwave pop-up on Saturday and ended up chatting with five people from here. We traded recipes for an hour. This community is the best part of my week.

One year of Roaster’s Choice: 14 countries tasted
My Roaster’s Choice Subscription turned one today. Fourteen countries, three processing methods I had never heard of and one very full brew journal. Favorite so far: the Huehuetenango.

Finished Espresso Fundamentals
All twelve lessons done. Biggest lesson: change one variable at a time and taste every shot. My espresso went from “fine” to something I actually look forward to.

Converted my dad from instant
Forty years of instant coffee. I made him a V60 of the Huila Washed on Sunday and he asked for the recipe. Today he sent me a photo of his new kettle.

Set up a brew bar at the office
Convinced my team to retire the pod machine. We now have a grinder, two drippers and a rotating bag from the subscription. Meetings start on time now.
