if this deserving site be grand central station for sojourners like us, where do you take the occasional train? in other words, where do you hang out for the caffeinated goods, as far as blogs, galleries and ideas?
i'm not soliciting competitors to this site (and, really, who would compete?) but more or less small-time recipe or writing sites driven by coffee.
i'll be up front: i just started a blog. but i'm not raising the subject to self promote, rather i'd like to get a flava for other places where the personal info and coffee writing is valued.
for instance: i found this place (a CG member, i believe) that gives off some pretty good vibes. others? who do you have bookmarked?
That's a phat blog and I think the creator's name is Jimmy. It's a really clean blog and he coded it himself (very very nice job). I have a blog too!! Infact, I have 2:
The first is the one I really work on. Check it out, I think it's a good read hehe =) I have links on the right of other blogs and websites that would be a good read/view. Malachi's blog is reallly good too: http://godshot.blogspot.com and he has a bunch of links as well of bloggers.
The best part about blogs is they are updated dailly usually, or at least weekly, so there's always something new. With mine, I try to keep it short and include A LOT of pictures and TONS of links.
Forums eGullet.org Coffee section - Foodie site... they're slowly learning about coffee over there, thanks to Owen (phaelon56).
??? Macchinesti Coffee - from Japan... someone over there's been lurking on CG or the BGA boards... obviously! I ain't Japanese, so I can't read it... but they've got pretty pictures.
