Street Coffee Please!

A couple of shots from two of the local places.
Blendin Coffee Club - close focus on the rim of the cup, wide open at f2. I wanted to isolate on the cup, coffee and croissant. The croissant was probably inside the minimum focal distance.
Kohiko Coffee - Focus point was the handle on the machine. f2.8
For both shots, I used KevWB to measure light temperature. Measured 3100-3200k

A local roaster. They only have a couple of trailers for mobile operations. They hope to get a bricks & mortar place later. The whole local coffee roaster / shop culture is starting to take off in the Houston area.

Kohiko Coffee House is owned by a former barista at Blendin Coffee Club in Sugar Land. He learned the business at Blendin while going to University of Houston. The place reflects his Japanese heritage. I like Nick. He is a good guy and usually has a camera within reaching distance. Coffee and cameras, a winning combination.

The best coffee house on the east coat of Taiwan near Yilan. Located literally in the middle of farm fields. You have to get lost to find this place, stop by for help & direction. Only after that you see its COFFEE!!!!!

I just returned from a week Bangkok Thailand last night. Picked up some Thai Peaberry coffee beans. Will blend it 20/80 with my normal blend and see how it is. It smells like heaven. Hoping it is as good as it seems.

Some of the beans grown around Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai districts are very pleasant.

Yes, that’s where they were from. Pretty good. Back in Taipei now. Mixed and made first cup!

At the hotel in Shanghai, the restaurant manager always greets me by name and brings me a cappuccino to start my breakfast off. A great way to start the day.

Saigon. My $0.50 hand-crafted aluminum coffee machine. I usually fill it with a local blend of 60%
Arabica and 40% Robusta beans which has the bouquet of a charging rhino.

That sounds wonderful! Did you make the 'coffee machine', or was it made locally?

The "rough and ready" dont care what it looks like first coffee of the morning. Cup was probably unwashed from the day before. Didn't care.

These coffee drippers are made locally.
