Mother in her 30s is getting really into coffee
Coffee got more important after I became a mom and now I'm trying to justify an espresso machine?
Third Places as Mini-Cosmopolitans
What happens to identity in times of movement and change? In my second post, I proposed the importance of cultivating a third space that is not dependent on a physical space and caveats on when this may veer towards an unhealthy direction (such as a work-oriented identity). I would be remiss not to present the obvious and popularized definition of third space – places that allow people to congregate outside of their home and their workplace.
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-26-26
I have a rough three-day work-stretch ahead of me, but the weekday Pook-Emu Bee links streak must continue (I will however compromise on feature images today). 1. Brainless TikTok trend causes $2,000 in damage to SoCal home (Daniel Farr for the New York Post. August 26, 2026.) States and localities should consider sentence enhancement provisions...

James Hoffmann reviewing a bad coffee machine
The interesting thing about this video is not that it reviews a coffee machine that does not meet the minimum criteria of a coffee machine. What’s interesting is that it gives a lot of insight in what really matters when making a good cup of coffee. For me it starts with good beans and a...

Everything becomes source material. I have been reading …
Everything becomes source material. I have been reading an old mythogeography interview with Phil Smith. The thread has me thinking about walking, place, story, performance, and the odd things that gather around a route once I stop treating it as just a way of getting somewhere. On my own much smaller patch of ground, that...

Coffee this week – Brazil Mogiana
Reviving an old blog feature. My coffee this week is Brazil Mogiana from Happy Goat, for pour over.
How I’ll Take My Coffee
Simon at Firesphere.dev wrote a short post titled If you want to buy me a coffee in response to a hot take post on the IndieWeb against "Buy Me a Coffee" buttons on blogs or capitalism or something. But instead of joining the button debate, he stated what kind of cofee he would like for...
A Moka Pot Pen
I came across a blog post on Extra Fine Writing titled Check it out, a weird little pen that looks like a coffee pot. When I saw the headline on The Well Apportioned Desk, I was not sure what to expect. But when I opened the post, I recognized the pen in question as having...

Low Caffeine Coffee
Recently, while reading issue 37 of the Standart magazine, I discovered the existence of naturally occurring low caffeine coffee. That immediately sparkled some interest in me, since I enjoy drinking coffee, but I don't want to drink too much caffeine.
The Craft of Latte Art
When I started drinking more milk-based coffee beverages, I used to always be in awe when I got a cup with latte art on it. So it won't come as any surprise that since I purchased my first espresso machine, I have been attempting at doing it myself. I must say: the journey has not been the easiest.
The Standart Magazine
I've rarely bought magazines in my life, let alone subscribe to them. Recently, however, I learned about the Standart magazine, a print magazine that focus on the world of coffee culture. I felt compelled to try it out, and, luckily, they have a trial subscription.
My Current Espresso Setup
Around a year and a half ago, I wrote about my espresso setup at the time. This setup has remained almost the same during the last year, except for a few things here and here. More recently, we upgraded our coffee machine, which prompted me to write an updated post and spill the te- coffee ☕️.
Welcoming the V60
At the beginning of last year, I shared about my filter coffee setup at home. The then current setup was composed by a family of four: the Clever Dripper, the French Press, the Chemex, and the AeroPress. Every device with its own use. It's been more than a year and a half, and the family has now welcomed a new member: the V60.

Letters of Recommendation: Signalis, Mushroom Coffee
Since I've spent most of today waiting for a delayed train or on said train, I decided to write about two of the things that got me through it. 1) Signalis This 2022 game by Berlin studio Rose Engine has been sitting in my Steam library for a few months now, and I finally picked it up this week. I play a lot of artsy indie games, but I don't think I often see overlap between those and the survival horror genre. This threads the needle beautifully - hallucinatory dream sequences, beautiful pix
Home Barista Training
Saturday we participated in a home barista training session at the headquarters of Lucifer Coffee Roasters, here in Eindhoven. That's also where they roast their beans. I was quite looking forward to it and I'm very glad I joined. It gave us the opportunity to learn more about the world of espresso, and do our first ☕️ cupping.
When The Coffee Sweats
Starbucks, which has devolved from laptop destination to coffee pickup counter, hires a burrito maven. The third place hangs in the balance.
My Current Espresso Setup
A few days ago, I wrote a bit about our filter coffee setup. I also promised I would come back and write a bit about the espresso setup. Here we are! Today I'll share a bit about our espresso coffee ☕️ setup. There aren't that many things to note, but it can be interesting.
My Current Filter Coffee Setup
Doing a quick search on my website yields almost no results for "coffee". And I find it quite strange that I’ve never talked about coffee here, especially during the past two years. During the past two or three years, I went from basically not drinking any coffee to buying filter coffee equipment, to now owning an espresso machine. Today I want to focus on filter coffee.
Charged Debate
Is Panera playing with fire by putting so much caffeine in its fruity beverages? A new warning, spurred by a lawsuit, suggests yes.

Rough Edges
Why ceramic coffee cups have a spot at the bottom that’s rough to the touch, despite the rest of the cup being glossy. It's kiln you that you don't know.
Clouds In My Coffee
Coffee shops are our community centers, and if handled right, coffee culture can be full of just as much richness as whatever they put in your Anthora cup.
