		<title>Manual pourover drip brewing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If there’s a simple way of brewing coffee, probably manual pourover drip brewers are the simplest. And the cheapest. Just pour hot water into the grinds, which sit on a cone filter, then let it drip into the cup and, voila! Great coffee using the simplest of process, the cheapest of equipment. Well, maybe using [...]]]></description>

		<title>The coffee evangelist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These past months, I’ve been working hard converting fellow coffee lovers to homeroast their own beans for guaranteed freshness. Only yesterday, I had eight guests who came for a coffee party as I brewed Sumatra Lintong Blue Batak, Kenya AA Nyeri Tambaya, Yemen Mokha Ismaili, Ethiopia Harrar. I roasted two more coffees for the occasion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet guy no more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m a changed man. It’s been nearly three weeks since I last put sugar in my coffee. So it appears I’m a changed man. Hopefully for good. But I have to confess that a couple of times since then, when I had to drink coffee in some cafes outside home, I had to put sugar [...]]]></description>

		<title>A pink plunger, a milk frother and a moka pot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got lucky once more with Brockenhaus, that surplus shop selling items from Switzerland and other European countries, with branches in Cagayan de Oro and Ozamiz. We dropped by their Cagayan de Oro branch last Tuesday, and I found these three items. Left, is a, um, pink 8-cup Bodum French press. I already got enough French [...]]]></description>

		<title>Behmor drum on my rotisserie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve played around with various coffee roasters. But my roaster of choice now is the oven toaster with rotisserie. Because I could not buy a drum for it, I had the drum made by a local tinsmith. But I wasn’t happy with the workmanship &#8212; too heavy, looks ugly, some damage on the screen that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chinese coffee beans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first time ever to try Chinese coffee! China, we all know, is a H-U-G-E country. Some of its parts are in the colder part of the globe with snow during winter. So coffee just can’t grow there. I’ve been to Beijing once, towards the end of winter, and I still remember our guide saying, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coffee party once more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I felt I was in France during the coffee party I hosted this afternoon, what with four French speakers in the house. Mathieu (rightmost), after leaving Iligan only last December with the end of his term as a volunteer helping farmers in the mountains, came back for a short vacation. His replacement is Jean-Baptiste (2nd [...]]]></description>
