Great post Mike. I love your weekly roundup of the coffee world! My condolences about the Yankees…figured I’d tell you now before it actually happens
Ha! Looks like the Yankees are rolling! Here comes number 28!
Hey there Mike thanks for the round up, I know there’s some posts there I’ve missed over the week, so it’s probably time for me to stop on by them
As always, thank you for stopping by and commenting.
Wow, In reading this weeks round up the thing I realized most is how many new coffee bloggers there are now compared with 2 years ago with new ones popping up everyday. It’s really insane and I love it.
It’s great, especially since it seems to be people all over the coffee spectrum and world.
