Coffee Joulies

Coffee Joulies work with your coffee to achieve two goals. First, they absorb extra thermal energy in your coffee when it’s served too hot, cooling it down to a drinkable temperature three times faster than normal. Next, they release that stored energy back into your coffee keeping it in the right temperature range twice as long.

Bistro Coffee Grinder

Improve the flavor of your coffee by using fresh ground beans from the Bodum Bistro Coffee Grinder. Sporting stainless steel blades and a cord storage area in the base, the Bistro also offers a transparent lid, letting you watch your fresh beans become brew-ready, and it's available in black, green, orange, and red, ensuring there's one to match your kitchen or office decor.

Campo de Luz

Today we spent some quality time at Guatemala's highlands, where the Saul E. Mendez fashion show Campo de Luz was held (in the middle of a cropping field). Nice weather, nice place, nice show, at the end we gathered up with friends and shared some wine. These kind of activities pull you apart from the daily routine.

Coffee Cups

Sometimes a fine porcelain can be medium to express your point of view and drink your favorite P11 roast as well.

Waiting for The Rainy Season

These small coffee plants are waiting for the rainy season to be planted, 3 to 5 years later they will begin to produce our delicious Guatemalan coffee.

Conceptual Work

This song takes a different direction after seeing its conceptual video. For me it is a master work!

Imprescindible XIX

When I was a kid my mama bought me a shirt like the one Edge is wearing in this concert, and this is the kinf of stuff almost everyone in Guatemala have had.

Round and Round and Round and....

I spent sometime drinking espressos to then jump to lattes, then to americanos, cappuccinos, espressos again and so on, each time trying to master the process and looking for the best bit of anything to accompany the drink, formulate my solo philosophy and try to be an expert in that stuff, only to find myself far from the "truth" in the next round I come along. Each round proves to open new ways and points of views, this creative process I have found very productive in other aspects of my work, design, art, photography, music, coffee.

Thought of The Day

To keep a clear head, it's important to get some time off alone.

The Best Spot

When you want to drink a coffee, it does'nt matter where or how you are going to make it, the thing is that the experience has to be good.

2011 Surprise!

After 50 days off the bike due to a preference for running, I returned to my usual trail, just to find bulldozers have changed the ground, where there was dirt and trails now there is asphalt and flat terrain ready for building townhouses. Guatemala is growing very fast, I think it's time to change my tires or change the route.

Beginnings

Best wishes for all of you this 2011, Coffee Time!
