Bike Huggers Heart Coffee
Mar 14, 2008 · 07:59 AM · permalink
Readers pointed out recent bikes & coffee posts from the blogopshere — bulleted below — and that reminded me to post on my new fav coffee shop. It’s Hotwire in West Seattle. The owner has got the blend down with a rich earthiness, a slight sweetness, and no bitterness. She also hand pours, unlike Starbucks. Robot pouring is about the worse thing you can do with espresso and I think led to the downfall of Starbucks. Anyway, back on topic, here are a collection of posts on coffee and a photo titled love grinds.
That’s an espresso cup that came out of the dishwasher just like that, with grinds settled in the bottom of the cup, in the shape of a heart.

- Bicycle Pump with an Espresso Machine — I don’t know if Cory Doctorow understands how much pressure 16 bars is, but I’d wear safety glasses, gloves, and one of those welders jackets the first time I tried that device.
- Bike part coffee table — we always dig reusing bike parts.
