Coffee Connoisseurs

Disclaimer: I had to look up how to spell connoisseurs on dictionary.com.

So I'm chilling at this awesome new coffee shop in Muncie. It opened last month and is run by a local church who is part time church, part time coffee roasting business (or I suppose they'd say full time church and full time coffee roasting business).

Now I'm going to get a bit coffee-technical with you all for a minute but bear with me. The picture shows what is called the "chemics" style of breweing coffee. Supposedly it retains the flavor of french press coffee but has the smoothness of drip coffee (that is no coffee ground particles). All that to say I love how much care these guys put into their craft. Vecino's is like the anti-Starbucks. It is my favorite place to write and study and read. I can only hope St. Louis will have something similar.

And since this blog post is stream-of-consciousness, I'd like to let the folks know that in all likelihood I will be heading to St. Louis to Covenant Seminary next year. Consider this my verbal commitment. Not binding, but quite likely.

Anyway, this post was an excuse to take a picture of my crazy coffee pot and to update you all on my life. Mission accomplished.

P.S. If you look closely in this picture you can see Mike Frost's twin brother Carl.
