Today at the Glisan shop something special happened.  A guy with a stroller bought a drink for the people in line.  Three behind him but the interesting thing is this was not his first time.  I found out  through a friend in line that he does this often when he comes in.  I don't know his name or why but knowing this is happening brightened my day and I wanted to share it with you. 
 
We have all heard about this and some may have done this before.  This inspires me to do it as well from time to time.  Would you?

Recently I pressed one of our coffees at home and did a pour over of another at the Glisan shop.  At home I had our Blue Heron.  On first sip the flavor explosion two seconds into the drink was amazing.  I was really pleased with it.  The other was our current El Salvador offering.  The coffee from start to finish was great.  But, it was the spicy tobacco aftertaste that caused me to write a friend that if all cigaretts tasted like this I'd be a smoker. Big pat on the back to our roasters Neil and Ashley!
 
If you are lucky enough to be in the shop when this is brewing you should try it out.  Get a pour over not a drip unless you are in a hurry.  Otherwise pick up a bag and you'll be quite the happy morning person.

A big happy birthday to Powell's Dot Com.  Funny that they are having the birthday and you can get the gift.  Check out the link on how to get a free $5 gift card on their home page.  Then you can get your book and go to the World Cup Coffee shop in the Coffee Room to people watch, read, sit & think, watch the cars & peds outside....all with an amazing cuppa coffee from our talented staff.

Below this information I'd like you all to pay attention to.  Hunter is an employee of World Cup Coffee and has been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer.  He has a limited time according to the doctors.  Hunter was recently married in our Glisan cafe.  His wife is from the UK and the US Embassy denied her visa to return to the US to be by Hunter's side during his chemo treatment.
 
Please take the time to watch the video by KOIN 6 news.  Second, sign the petition!  Its free.  Third, donate anything you can.  Hunter is a great guy and deserves what you can do.  Legal, health and personal expenses are great during this trying time for Hunter and his family.
 
After that go hug your family, friends, kids, wife...It's easy for us and should be greatly appreciated given the time we are given.
