Coffee

[PrimitiveEnergy]

If anyone is going to the California custom knife show. I would like to invite you to meet up at the Portola Coffee Lab, 3313 Hyland Avenue
Costa Mesa, CA 92626.

It is probably the highest concept specialty cafe in Orange county, LA, and maybe the whole state of Ca. except maybe San Francisco. They have a reservation only craft service where a highly skilled barista will serve you. "The craft service is a reservation-only service that leads customers through a prix-fixe menu designed and presented by our head barista, Truman Severson who finished 4th at the Southwest Regional Barista Competition in 2013."

But you don't need a reservation for normal coffee service.

If they do they'll be converted to espresso this week.

Smart thinking! Your grinder will be the best investment.

Thanks! The blade steel is what sold me. I have also owned a Farid Rex 121 and I am amazed how similar the Spyderco version is. I no longer own this.

Blade and brew of the day! ZT 350 and Stumptown's Hairbender.

 

[Monofletch]

This is the end of the line for me (I think). I might have one more worth posting, but it's the bottom of the collection after this.
Spyderco Enuff Leaf VG10- great sheath and wonderful Spyderco G clip.

Coffee is Kuva-- Nicaragua La Bastilla. This must be one of those wierd coffees, because it is flavorless and not very good. I brewed it out of my drip machine and in my French press with the same results.
