I’m here for random #ALXcaffeinary posts going forward. And yes, Zekes is good!

I know we’re past #ALXcaffeinary times, but this coffee is so good that I want you all to try it. We have a Zeke’s next to my office but they also sell it at Moms!

A handmade mug with rows vertical blue brush strokes. You can see the handle of a small wooden spoon on the right. Behind there is a white cat sitting on an orange tweed armchair and a door with colorful stained glass in a beehive pattern.

Enjoying my snowy morning coffee in the mug I picked up at Art on the Avenue last fall. Here’s hoping the power stays on!

Morning #AlxCaffeinary with Swings beans, cookies the babysitter made last night with the boys, and a Superbowl 1992 mug to represent Benito's upcoming performance

Hoping I’m all set for the coming storm. Grateful for my solar battery which has shifted into storm mode & is fully charged.

Making a batch of cold brew concentrate tonight. It's great that wf as a grinder in the store. #ALXcaffeinary

A white coffee mug with a camera on it sits in front of two bags of Swing’s coffee beans: Ethiopia Ardi & 1013 Reserve.

#ALXcaffeinary

All stocked up on coffee beans before the storm. There was a longer line at Swing’s than there was at MOM’s (which was much busier than normal on a weekday afternoon but not that bad).

Today on #ALXcaffeinary it's a Common Hearth chocolate chip cookie and an entirely too hot cappuccino from Rosemont Cellar. Today's drink is made of Cafein espresso blend

lol they might not be local brands, but they’re special enough for #ALXCaffeinary. Big ups for HI-COLLAR in New York City

A white East Fork pottery small mug is held up in front of my living room. There is a wooden side table, a newly reupholstered burnt orange chair as well as a black & white cat sitting on a couch looking out the windows in the background. White stairs with shelves are running diagonally through the picture and there is an antique pie safe with lots of plants off to the left.

Morning vibes.

Steampunk crow on a handmade mug

In full hypocrisy, my #AlxCaffeinary is in a handmade mug with a crow on it - an impulse purchase at Grape&Bean from an Asheville potter, right after the natural disaster down there. Crow for Six of Crows! No mourners, no funerals!

I haven’t done an #ALXcaffeinary post in a minute because I’ve been solo parenting thru the weekend.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that the coffee has not ceased to flow because it’s a cold holiday weekend and my kids love to party at 5 AM.

Drip coffee in a mug my college friend made me plus LIBERALLY SOCIAL PODCAST

I like my #AlxCaffeinary with a side of local politics 💙☕

Alright, my #ALX and #DelRay friends, please advise my husband on good, local coffee beans to purchase for me. I only have 2 types of beans, both from #VíaVolcán and delicious, but it limits my ability to play along with the #ALXcaffeinary game. I may start supplementing with others in the interim!

Power was out to start the day at the conference hotel this morning but the HVAC is kicking now to catch up. Airspot confirms there is good air movement. Unremarkable cup of coffee.

So I did a thing: roasted my first batch of coffee

Going old school library today as I continue to work my way through my bag of Winter Solstice Blend.

And, yes, I did as a kid make checkout cards for all my books & used a date stamp to check them in & out.

Maple latte in a large mug with a spiced bun

Doing #ALXCaffeinary from richmond today; I’m down here for VACIR’s press conference to kick off what’ll hopefully be a courageously pro-immigrant GA session

Popped into Sefton Coffee Co to knock out some work between meetings. They make a great maple latte and cardamom bun

My acupuncturist doesn’t like me to drink caffeine after a treatment, so grabbed a decaf caramel latte from Cafè Amouri in Vienna.

I’m a creature of habit. Swing’s Winter Solstice Blend in a classic diner mug.

Also demonstrating my hack for thwarting a cat who has a taste for coffee (not my two angels, but my son’s cat whom I’m cat sitting).
