It might seem like quite some time since i had something in particular interesting going on in my head regarding coffee. But i have been thinking about interesting things and coffee a lot also since my last post. Mostly, the lack of posts are due to the new coffee people favourite thing - micro blogging - twitter. And I have honestly not spent so much time writing up blogposts, because the twitter universe has made it very easy to delve into subjects with links to other blog posts and articles about blog posts. Facing the diverse and burgeoning amount of blogs and articles has made me experience and contemplate the complexity of the field - the plethora of methodological decisions that coffee people that wants to be on top of things needs to face every day and the insane amount of time we spend to follow up on each other - what is going on today? every day.

It's almost Christmas, and I will spend it contemplating this year - which has rolled by faster than I could say Maracaturra. On New Years Eve, I am leaving Oslo for a while for San Francisco, which I think will be interesting and a learning experience. In particular, I am looking forward to learn more about extraction, a field of interest that is mostly overlooked by me. Not because I don't want to, but just because I'm not there yet. Not in 2009, at least. The multitude of alternative approaches to extraction has made explicitly this subject something I wish I knew more about - a coffee challenge that is not yet completed.

Merry Christmas, friends. And peace on earth.
