Coffee Blogging

In the spirit of giving you, the blog reader, the widest variety of views on the coffee world, here are a few local and international coffee sites that I really like.

• http://www.coffeegeek.com/ - One of the best coffee websites out there. Look out for the podcast as well.
• http://www.ukbaristachampionship.co.uk/ - The website of the UKBC. A must for all would-be competitors.
• http://5mcoffee.com/coffeeblog/index.php/tag/coffee-forums-uk/ - Another fantastic coffee blog site.
• http://www.coffeeforums.co.uk/ - A fledgling, but nonetheless great forum for home baristas, pro baristas, and everyone inbetween.
• http://www.jimseven.com/ - The blog site of the ex World Barista Champion, James Hoffman. Another great blog.
• http://www.portafilter.net/ - Nick Cho (on the board of directors for the SCAA) and Jay Caragay (Regional USBC winner) run this blog site, along with a host of other great US baristas. They also have a fantastic podcast which is a fascinating insight into the higher workings of the SCAA and the WBC.
• http://www.chrisweaver.co.uk/blog/ - With this last blog site I've run out of hyperbole with which to describe it. Some brilliant thoughts of coffee, and an obvious passion come through in this blog. Finally, some real UK coffee journalism! Well worth a read if you're at all interested in UK speciality coffee.

Well, there you go. Any other suggestions for sites you find helpful are welcome, so feel free to shout them out.

Till next time,
