Hello lovers of warm drinks,
This year at Ottawa Comiccon there was an awesome tea vender, who is based in Montreal. We bought some fantastic Sailor Venus tea that Jen loves.
Since then, we’ve tried a half dozen more of their teas and they’re amazing. They have a great selection of fandom tea.
Bonus; they are also selling an advent calendar.
Go check out their site and get some tea for those that don’t want to drink coffee all the time.
Later days,
Éric

Hello Imaginary Friends, Coffee Lovers, Blushers, Fandom Travellers, TARDIS lovers, and Crochet aficionados,
THANK YOU! To everyone who came to see us this past weekend at Ottawa Comic Con. It’s not the venue or the guests that make a great con, but the attendees, and this year you were extra awesome.
Without you ,there would be no JenEric Coffee, Designs, Travelling TARDIS, or Blush. (Aspiring Something would still exist because I don’t think I could stop writing, but it would be much less fun alone.)
Thank you again and see you next year at Ottawa ComicCon 2020!

Hello Coffee Lovers!
I’ve been asked a few times what makes a great cup of coffee and how do you brew it. Making hot coffee is simple, just pour hot water on ground coffee beans and you have coffee.
Let’s get more in depth, shall we? I’m going to stick to drip and submersion methods. Nothing against Turkish or Espresso coffee, but I’d like to keep this short.
The coffee you choose is extremely personal to your tastes. I recommend JenEric Coffee.
What you want is coffee that has been roasted within the past month or two and sealed. My preferred sweet spot is a week after roasting. The flavour has settled and you get the smoothness of great coffee.
The variety is astounding. You can find $10 pour-over coffee makers all the way to $20,000.
What you buy will depend on the amount of work and the strength you like in your coffee.
These make fantastic and flavourful coffee, but get a little more bitter and less smoothness in the actual coffee.
Most french press are the same; get one made out of glass and that holds the amount of coffee you like to drink. Don’t get one too big or too small.
I don’t recommend the travel mugs with french press built in. the longer your coffee is submerged, the more bitter it’ll get.
Use hot water and submerge your ground coffee (coarse or you’ll get an unfun surprise.) Leave them in between 3-6 minutes and then pour. I usually forget mine for upwards of 10 minutes and it’s ok but around 15 it gets bitter.
These are the standard home coffee makers, and they make okay coffee. I like Sunbeam and President’s Choice for the cheap end and Hamilton Beach, Mr Coffee, and Black + Decker for the mid range.
All you need is a coffee maker that makes coffee. Avoid all the bells and whistles; they just take power away from heating the water.
This is what I use at home when I’m making coffee for more than just me.
Grind your coffee medium fine and let the machine do the rest.
This is the hidden gem of coffee makers. It makes the best coffee. Just put in the filter and the coffee grounds (medium fine) and pour boiled water over it.
I really enjoy the Melitta Signature I have. I bought my father-in-law the Bonavita Wide Base Porcelain Immersion Dripper which lets you control the speed of drip in order to control the flavour.
It’s a cheap and easy way to make fantastic coffee. Melitta also always has special deals, sometimes so cheap you just pay shipping.
The standard ratio is 1 TBSP of coffee grounds for 3-5 Ounces of water.
I recommend 1 TBSP (14.7 ml) of ground coffee for 4 Ounces (118ml) of water.
*WARNING*
A cup of coffee on your machine is equal to 6 ounces and not the standard US cup of 8 ounces. This can cause some serious confusion.
That’s the quick and easy way to make a great cup of coffee. There are plenty of other methods but these are the most common and simplest.
Thanks for reading and enjoy your cup,
Éric

Hello Coffee Lovers,
I’ve been complaining about capacity for the past few years. We used to roast with the fantastic Behmor 1600+ Coffee Roaster, two of them. They are great but lack in capacity. Doing roughly 1.5lbs each every 45 minutes.
To give you an idea, for a medium convention we’d roast 40-60 lbs of coffee. that would take us roughly 16-20 hours of roasting. It was getting to be too much work. Taking 4 days or more to roast for a large convention like Ottawa Comiccon was tedious.
I looked into all kinds of options and discovered RK Drums. They custom-build roaster drums, turning motors, and a whole lot of other awesome stuff. We took the plunge with last years profits and two weekends ago I spent a long day building a bbq and modifying it for coffee roasting with equipment from RK Drums.
Isn’t it pretty?
The first roast came out a little burnt and smoky, but this past weekend I spent 5 hours roasting and I’m confident the coffee will be up to our high standards.
This coming weekend at Geek Market we are debuting the newest JenEric Coffee flavour:
The Mighty ThOrange
Yay for coffee!
Hope to see you this weekend at Geek Market.

Hello My Imaginary Friends,
Atomo Coffee sounds like something from a science fiction story. Coffee that isn’t from coffee beans. It’s the lab grown meat of coffee.
My biggest worry with this sort of thing is allergies. I have a severe intolerance to coconut oil and milk, along with IBS, so I try to be very careful.
Here’s what they say:
Atomo will not have any allergen components or materials that impact metabolic disorders.
For the insoluble, non-volatile portion of the molecular grounds, we are still exploring many options and targeting an upcycled play that would take the byproduct of a current commercial operation and add value to it by using it as the carrier matrix for our flavor and mouthfeel compounds – essentially the proteins, carbohydrates and oil components you can expect from coffee grounds. Some examples of that would be watermelon seeds or sunflower seeds husks. Much of what we are doing at this stage is still proprietary as we have a good journey ahead to optimize the perfect molecular coffee that can be enjoyed as your daily ritual. All compounds and strategies will be shared as they evolve and are optimized.
The kickstarter is already funded and has 22 days to go.
I’m interested and a little skeptical. What do you think?
Éric
