We're working on removing all Twitter integration from CoffeeGeek.com, starting tomorrow. There's a lot to do.
I have a long thread, a "call to action" to the remaining #coffee community on Twitter, ready to post on October 10th, my last day on that platform.
If it entices any companies, services, charitable organizations, brands, or individuals in the specialty coffee sphere to make the leap here, I know many of you will welcome them with open arms.
Unionized Starbucks workers will be walking out today to demand better working conditions. Show your support for workers by NOT supporting their employer today.
Brew a cup at home and donate the $5 to a good cause.

“This year, on the heels of victories won by striking workers across different industries nationwide, Starbucks workers are taking the rebellion to the next level,” the union said.

I really cherish these lazy afternoons the older I get. I'm currently drinking coffee and chilling with my Pixie dog on the couch. No further plans for the day and not really giving a shit about making any. 😏

If you love #coffee, but are kind of put off by the various #consumerism happening around this past weekend (with Black Friday and Cyber Monday), I do have the fix for you.
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. This is the time of year charities ask you to help them do the work they do.
In Coffee, one fantastic charity is Food 4 Farmers. Read up on them here, and donate during their #givingtuesday event. Even $5, the price of a latte, goes a long way.
This is the FIRST EVER photo of a "chopped" portafilter espresso shot posted online (2004). The first time people saw, visually, how espresso extracted directly out of the bottom of a filter basket.
For context, two baristas from Zoka Coffee in Seattle blogged about drilling the bottom off a PF to see the shot. Alistair Durie (that's him) at Elysian in Vancouver read the post, did it too, invited me down to check it out. I did, and snapped this photo.
