FairPour

Lavender Cardamom Latte

Yesterday, I went to FairPour, located in the village of Fairport, where Towpath Cafe used to be. They serve Glen Edith coffee and pretty much seemed like Glen Edith.

It was very good! It is clean and updated. I also like it better than Glen Edith because the parking was easier and it was less than 10 minutes from my house. I would highly recommend it to anyone and I can't wait to go again!

The Story of Coffee

Today, I watched a short documentary from PBS called "Coffee From Bean to Cup." This video is from Feast TV showing coffee goes from the mountains to your cup.

The host, Cat Neville, heads to El Salvador to see how coffee is grown. The coffee is grown in the volcanic mountains.

The owner of the coffee farm discussed how the economic prosperity of the coffee farm has helped employees. The employees used to take the bus and now they can afford to get motorcycles.

Each day during harvest season, the farmers go up the mountain. There they will pick only the best cherries. Then the trucks carry the cherries down to the mill. The higher up the mountain, the higher quality the coffee is.

The coffee is processed and dried. Then it is bagged up and sent to where the roaster wants it. The roaster tastes the coffee every week to see how they are going to roast it.

Warm Weather = Icy Treats

As you can see, outside has been super warm! Many people love hot weather for tank tops and shorts, but really the best part is enjoying ice cream. Ice cream is good all year long, but it is especially good when it is hot. I absolutely love coffee ice cream. What could be better than the two best things, ice cream and coffee?

Today, I am going to share a coffee ice cream recipe I found. If you try it, please let me know below!

Thanks!

Which coffee would you like to try?!?!

#BaristaStruggles

Talking on the phone while placing their order


Asking for a drink iced after already placing the order

Feeling disgusting afterwards because you are caked in syrups and coffee


Making frozen drinks like frappucinos


Customer: "I really need this coffee this morning," as you think to yourself that you haven't had coffee this morning.


When someone orders a special drink and you mess it up so you have to make it again.


When customers dump half of their coffee in the garbage can so the bag leaks.


Your hands get so dry from the all the dishes you do


When a customer takes another customer's drink so you have to make another drink.


When you have to repeat yourself so many times because the espresso machines are so loud
