My favorite coffee YouTube personality, James Hoffman, recently released a fascinating video testing the amount of caffeine in coffee. It's a must-watch for sure.

A lot of talk in the specialty coffee business has been about “Transparency”. Specifically, people want to make sure producers (farmers) are being paid fairly. There have been a few attempts – stops and starts – and well intentioned movements that, unfortunately, failed to really produce the kind of transparency people want to see.

The Walrus Room came to the downtown Geneva scene last year. However, in that short time they have become a staple in Downtown. Their motto is “a supper club of sorts,” with a modern twist on Midwest dishes.
