This blog was started at the Randolph & Wabash Intelligentsia Coffee location. I'm a regular for at least a year now since Intelligentsia is my favorite perch for blogging, writing and working some. I undertook my first tentative steps of transformation right before their very eyes at this location, (and two or three other Intelligentsia locations around the city). They know me by the name Disa Johnson here, and they hadn't committed 'detlev' to memory before I was already expressing myself full-time as Disa.
Heard on NPR this morning, Michael Phillips won the U.S. Barista Championship! He will represent the U.S. in the world Championship in Copenhagen. I heard this while getting ready for work, and if I get the chance to see Michael, I can't wait to congratulate him. So, yes, I have gotten my coffee prepared by a U.S. Champion Barista.
It's true that each cup they prepare is a work of art. Every chance I get, I'll blog an entry with a photo to capture these precious moments. Here is a photo of a recent cup I've had. Enjoy!
I always thought this is some of the greatest coffee in the whole Universe. The coffee here is extraordinary. I take the beans home to botch it myself (though I can sometimes make a nice latte or just a plain good cup on my own). It's not the same but I'll keep trying. I can draw fairly well but not with coffee yet, apparently.
Stay tuned.
