Pull up a chair.
Coffee pays for this, but it isn't all I think about. Two newsletters, a podcast, the books I'm working through, and whatever is on the record player while I roast.
The Paper Filter
Forty-some outlets go in — Reuters, the AP, the BBC, the Journal, Al Jazeera. One read comes out: what they all reported, and a line where they don't agree. Five minutes, with the first cup.
The Crema
Everything I saved that week, handed over on Sunday with a note on each one. Some weeks it's five links, some weeks thirty. Ten go in the email; the rest end up here.
Smalley Talk
Conversations with people who make things — roasters, cooks, shop owners, and a few who have nothing to do with coffee at all. Recorded when there is something worth recording.
The Book Nook
What I'm reading right now, everything I've finished, and the passages I went back to. Plus the articles sitting open in a tab that I keep meaning to get to.
Something you think belongs in here? Tell me and I'll make room.
