in the bay area, we love coffee, like a lot. this video on the specialty coffee subculture captures the spirit of many roasters and coffee shops featuring our very locally grown Blue Bottle, Handsome Coffee Roasters in L.A, and LAMILL Coffee. i've worked in the coffee business for many years and know so much about the processes of getting coffee from the farm to the cup. it's no surprise that the founders of these companies take pride in their work.

first day of summer = quiet mornings + rides to my favorite local Cafe 504 in Oakland + loading on some Blue Bottle iced coffee for a warm day = life is good. 

how do you spend your summer mornings?
