Honey (as proven by Sasha King’s honey cortado) can make the perfect condiment to coffee. Sweet, nutty, floral — depending on the honey one picks, it can add interesting notes to the dyna...
After nearly eight months of hoarding these photos, and countless hours sifting through and editing them, I’ve finally posted them, here. What a beautiful place Portugal is, I nearly forgot. En...
More known for its’ soaring architecture than the art it houses, the Jepson Center in Savannah is a physical manifestation of the contemporary climate of the city: simultaneously artistic, mode...
Though I’m not a fan of Coach, or this bag, this video beautifully captures New York — the inspiration found in everyday city life, the way it pulsates and resonates each day. And, James...
In midtown Manhattan, a previous wasteland for coffee (besides the ubiquitous Starbucks on every corner) Swedish-born, Greek-Italian Anastasios Nougos opened up a true Italian espresso bar. No tables...
Roaming around Savannah for coffee, one thing was apparent: the third-wave movement hasn’t infiltrated this southern city just yet. No latte art on my cappuccinos and a few too many cups of ove...
It’s springtime in Savannah. The heat is beginning to creep in after mild winter months. The air is already heavy; everything, and everyone, moves idly. The trees even lean lazily, unable to st...
Walking into Nicholas Coffee Co., located in the Market Square neighborhood of downtown Pittsburgh, one might feel like they walked into another era. Founded in 1919, it’s been run by family e...
Evening at St. Peter’s, is magical… and to pray at the Pieta, is divine.
This is how we rang in the final hour. Happy New Year!
The best part of my travels this year has been connecting with my friends all over the world, drinking coffee with them, chatting and sharing a part of ourselves. I hope there’s more of that i...
My lovely friend Daniella took me along to her family’s native country, to lay in the sun and visit a coffee plantation. We hiked up a volcano and ate ceviche. The most memorable moment was w...
Rome, Italy is like a second home to me. The raw nature of the city, the energy it emits, there is a certain freedom to Romans — they live pure, connected to their emotions and fully present t...
This year I got to do some traveling, drink amazing coffee, meet extremely special people all over the world, and quietly work on various projects that will be debuting in 2012 — I can’t ...
This season is always my favorite time of year; I love the lights, the festive energy, the cheer of shopping for loved ones, giving gifts. I love all the pomp and circumstance, the tradition. Yet ...
The medieval streets of Florence are stylish, clean, and beautiful; the city is a fashion blogger’s dream, an artist’s classroom – Michelangelo, and others, spent much time making t...
Centuries ago, coffee was introduced to Italy via trade from the Arab world; since, Italy has become a culture that relies heavily on il caffe, and a major importer of beans from all over the world. ...
Forget the eggs, bacon, and pancakes; Romans have a simplified breakfast of cornetti et un caffe (cappuccino, per mei.) One can find this at nearly every “bar” in the country. The corne...
The tiny streets of Rome weave back and forth, those intimate vias emptying out into piazzas and busy avenues. Walking along the stone streets, dodging the cars and vespas becomes a learned skill ...
I hear it all the time, the many reasons one should “avoid” coffee. Caffeine isn’t good for you, they tell me. Though I’m a proponent of the “everything in moderation...
The weather is crisp, the tourists are slight, and the streets are strewn with lights: ’tis Christmas in Roma. Thus far, we have had molti cappuccini, cornetti, mozzarella e pasta. Some photos,...
If one mentions “drip” coffee to a third-waver, it would probably incite a cringe, an eye roll, and perhaps an exaggerated sigh of disdain. Understandably, the drip has gotten a bad rap,...
Though a native West Virginian, most of my family has migrated to Pittsburgh, PA in recent years, and it’s now where I go “home” to for the holidays. Specifically, my family calls ...
Wow, I’m so thankful to all of you who took the time to write in, for the emails and the comments. All of the rituals and experiences you spoke of are a wonderful reminder as to why I do what ...
Hi, you! The Coffee Experiment would like to reward one of it’s lovely readers with a fantastic giveaway — loot from Cafe Grumpy! Grumpy is one of my favorite NYC based coffee shops and ...
The French Press is my favorite way to make coffee, yielding a rich, strong — if not a bit gritty — cup. It’s fairly simple and takes little time; everyone has their own way of maki...
In Brooklyn’s charming Cobble Hill, at Cafe Pedlar, I stumbled upon a gem of a barista — Miss Sasha King — who makes a special drink one can only call divine. A new resident of the ...
You may have noticed that I haven’t been around for a few weeks, and that’s because I was searching for a new home. Applying for a New York City apartment is more difficult, stressful, te...
Happy National Coffee Week to you all, wherever you may be. I’ll be celebrating (and busy!) with a big move to a new apartment in a new ‘hood, but fret not! I’m not too busy to be p...
