dotCross Coffee Project

dotCross Coffee Project Appreciation of coffee and everything around it. Started at UChicago, now borderless; active only in caffeine induced spurts.

The simple idea that coffee should be an experience to savor and not just a means of sustenance. Started at UChicago by two coffee aficionados hoping to spread the love and knowledge of great coffee. We run coffee appreciation workshops, pop-up coffee brew bars, review coffee places and share all that we learn and love. The appreciation lives on, but this page is now updated only in caffeine induc

ed spurts. Roasting, brewing and espresso-making shenanigans chronicled fully at http://dotcross.tumblr.com/

Late last year, ChefSteps put out an educational series on making espresso in the home. The series was done in conjunction with the folks at La Marzocco Home. It's a good series of educational videos on making espresso and the things that surround it, but I had two criticisms of the videos, one min…
