As any geek in a field, I subscribe to several of the better RSS blog feeds regarding all things coffee[1.from baristas' thoughts, to espresso machine companies, to enthusiasts, to...you get the picture] and finally got around to some of the latest unread ones. After a brief skim-read through the titles I instantly had my attention grabbed by a blog from the Antwerp Barista entitled “A Fourth Wave Is Coming” (click here for the full blog).
He concisely describes the first 3 waves with the third being the one we are TRUTH.fully living, but I find it very interesting how we and the better, more well-known guys, especially abroad1 have been getting “keeping on track” so to speak.
We have been promoting the Abid per-cup drip filter experience (read more about them here) and falling more in love with them. The main thing that resonates in his blog with us here is that we love coffee and are still in it because we love it and love having fun with it and where ever this ‘wave’ leads us I just hope that we continue to have fun and enjoy the coffee along the way.

- not that we are exclusively doing this in SA, our friends at EspressoLab have and use several AeroPress and ceramic V60 drip-brewers (similar to our Abid…kinda). Sorry if I forgot anyone else out
