Jay's Strange Blog: On Being The Boss
http://onocoffee.blogspot.com/2012/03/on-being-boss.html
Wednesday, March 07, 2012. On Being The Boss. Every once in a while, a friend or someone I know will ask me about the challenges of running your own company and how I deal with things. To most people, the idea of running your own company, being your own boss and answering to "no one" is a lovely fantasy free of the stresses of working as an employee. They ask me: "What's the most difficult thing about being the boss? It means that you must remain focused and calm. Steady and assured. Even when th...Once ...

Thursday, August 02, 2012. Beating Homogeneity Out Of Iced Coffee. Cold Brew Towers at work in The Lab at Spro. Just yesterday I was mentioned in a blog post about Iced Coffee and Cold Brews. For those of you not following the coffee biz it's been a heated topic for the past few months with various people arguing about which iced coffee brew method is "best" - as though there has to be one magical brew formula that bests all others. Quite frankly, I just think it's a load of hogwash. That's about as exci...

Friday, December 28, 2012. It Must Be Me. It seems that many people prefer to have as much stuff as possible (no matter how crappy or cheesy-looking it is) than take the minimalist approach by purchasing nice, quality things at a slow pace. And single beds? What am I: five? Good God. Double bed? No No, it must be a queen-sized bed. I mean, I need room to maneuver! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). It Must Be Me.

Jay's Strange Blog: Letter to a Friend
http://onocoffee.blogspot.com/2012/01/letter-to-friend.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Letter to a Friend. Brother, let's be honest. The only reason you want to go on a date with that girl is because you think it will help you win your ex back. It won't. It only makes you look stupid. Don't be pathetic. Well, the more you try to tell your ex that message, you just confirm her decision to leave you. What you need to be is strategic. Walk away. Don't call her. Don't text her. Don't be available for her. Women love attention. They want us f...But the truth is, soo...

Tuesday, August 20, 2013. This post probably will not come off well-constructed nor will it have any conclusions - mainly because it's something that I'm still thinking about and trying to figure out myself, but it's been on my mind for the past few years. And next year, when that same farmer toils under adverse weather conditions or roya? Through all this I've constantly been wondering: To what end? To what end are we doing all of this? We talk about "helping the farmer" but what does this mean really?

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. From time to time, we invite guest writers to pen their thoughts and findings about the coffee industry. This week, we're happy to have Samantha Joyce from Seattle Coffee Gear writing about one of the most serious threats our industry is facing: coffee rust, aka roya. Immediate action and more scientific research are both required. Is a writer for Seattle Coffee Gear. She lives near Puget Sound in West Seattle and cannot imagine a world without coffee.

Jay's Strange Blog: The Waiting Game
http://onocoffee.blogspot.com/2012/01/waiting-game.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. 2842 - perhaps not the fastest way to the Super Bowl. Somewhere along the line, I seem to have gone off and into the End Zone. Years ago, I couldn't stand football, or "football" as we called it (don't ask). Then, around 2004, I secured season tickets and started going to the games. Back then, the Ravens just didn't fare too well and by 2006, I was so inundated with work I ended up only attending two games that year. Not good. Guess that's better than thirty.

Jay's Strange Blog: Source Of The Nile
http://onocoffee.blogspot.com/2011/11/source-of-nile.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Source Of The Nile. Oh yeah, just moving a tank. In three pieces. No problem. Once we break out of metropolitan Kampala, the road opens up and Isaiah (my driver) is gunning it for all its worth. By any estimate, 100kph isn't that fast, but here in Uganda, as we pass wreckages of other vehicles simply abandoned on the side of the road, I wonder if it isn't a death wish. I probably wouldn't drive this fast here. Police recruits - at The Source Of The Nile. After the sugar come...

Monday, January 23, 2012. Making coffee at Kaffeemaccherei. Coffee and almond pastry at Der Backer Eifler. Hoppenworth and Ploch - Frankfurt. A regular coffee at Karin. Cafe Karin - Frankfurt. The problem with a 5am arrival is that you can spend five hours getting yourself together and it's still only 10am. Wolfram Sorg said that Karin has a good breakfast, so I went there after I gathered myself, my rental car and arrived in downtown Frankfurt at 7am - only to find that Karin opens at 9am. On the other ...
