This minimalistic photo blog is full of pictures taken by the author Mike White during his daily coffee trips. This coffee blogger shares his experiences and impressions about the places he visited and the coffee shots he enjoyed. We chose this blog because we feel that Mike’s pictures capture the personality of the cafés with up close details of their table tops and their choice of porcelain.

The blogs in this section were chosen for their devotion to java. They continue to represent the power beverage and contribute to the demand side of coffee in various ways

Nate created his blog back in 2009 and since then he has brought us many guides and video tutorials concerning brewing and roasting methods. We especially like his coffee pictures in which he has put a lot of time and effort. If you love coffee or if you are an occasional coffee drinker, this blog is worth visiting.

‘My life of coffee was born of a coffee-snob girlfriend from Wellington who refused to go anywhere that wasn't serving good coffee. I started out on Mochas from the Open Late café in Ponsonby as a teenager, managed to stay with Mochas while I was a city lawyer drinking at Atomic on Shortland Street and only moved to drinking Flat Whites in 2011.”

Edinburgh Coffee Lovers - Pru Whitwell

Are you in Edinburgh and need to satisfy your love of coffee? This is the blog you need to follow to know how to order what you need and where you can get it. Pru includes a “coolness” meter in her reviews - this meter will tell about the vibe and the atmosphere of the the café. We especially liked the descriptive infographic for navigating your way around Edinburgh’s coffee scene. Pru Whitwell has to say about her blog:

“Taste in coffee, just like most things, is personal. My blog doesn't claim to be the only 'right' opinion about coffee. So before we potentially fall out, if your idea of a nice coffee is an extra hot, skinny, large, wet, latte from a major coffee chain, this is not the blog for you. If you’re in beautiful Edinburgh and want to visit independent and unique coffee shops, run by passionate people who make truly excellent coffee, I can give you a steer. Mine is a fierce love of coffee from an enthusiast’s point of view.”

Our personal favourite post is her story about who discovered coffee, the drawings of hyperactive dancing goats made us smile. This is what Ryoko has to say:



"To be honest, I never liked coffee and up until I moved to Seattle I had only ever tried it a couple of times. I wanted to take advantage of living in Seattle (AKA the coffee addicts land) and I trained myself to drink coffee. I started to learn a lot about everything from picking, roasting, to brewing coffee and the history of the dark bean. I wanted to share what I learned with others so I started the blog. Now I think my body is made of coffee. Every morning I make coffee to have the energy to get coffee. Hi, my name is Ryoko and I am a coffee addict."

Kristin makes coffee just a bit cooler (who thought that was possible?).

"My blog 'Chicago Coffee' was created to show all of the local and smaller sized coffee businesses all around the city of Chicago, IL.

The Coffee Heretic - Mark Overly

Mark Overly is a sophisticated coffee lover, who is dedicated to writing about speciality coffee. Mark despises cheap commercial coffee and that is the reason why, you can not find posts on famous brands but will instead be met by detailed posts about coffee acidity, seasonal coffee and the intricacies of fair trade. Readers will enjoy the honesty of this blog and Mark identifies himself as a coffee heretic. He has a few words about the unconventional nature of the blog:

“A coffee friend once described me as a "known contrarian" at which I replied, thank you! After pondering it for a while I concluded that I am not so much a contrarian, nor am I some sort of iconoclast. I am instead a coffee heretic. Speciality Coffee has evolved its own orthodoxy that increasingly disparages critique. I have been around just long enough to remember that what we now call Speciality Coffee initially struggled to differentiate itself from cheap, commercial coffee. Many helped create this niche, forging new paths to quality. Some of these voices have since been marginalized. I am a product of those voices.”

Mark Overly

Mark offers a critical view on various aspects on coffee. We especially recommend post on the quality assessment of coffee beans and on what makes a bean a better bean.

“I really got into coffee about ten years ago, whilst in the trapping of a small holiday flat in Rome and ever since then its been a whirlwind of delight for my taste buds. As I began to experiment more and more with coffee, I became more and more intrigued, so much so that I was like, I've got to open a café, which I did in Cape Town from 2010 to early 2013. In between, I read as much about coffee as possible, attending international coffee conference, meeting with World Barista Champions (back then it was Jim Hoffman) and after amassing all that knowledge, I thought! I've got to reach out and share this stuff with others and here we are.”

Coffee is a daily part of so many of our lives. It's just a beverage, but it connects us with people from all over the world. I think that taking small steps to improve the quality of coffee we drink is a simple way to improve the quality of our own lives and the lives of the people in every step of the supply chain.
