Being Mindful: Using a Porlex Hand Coffee Grinder
It is fun to have an analog feel to the coffee making process, not just in the grind, but an actual involvement in the results.

I was perplexed at the results of my Porlex JP-30 Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder, my at-home grinder with my usual coffee, Stumptown Hairbender, I started to think about the attention I pay my coffee making and not just my coffee drinking.The issue was that my coffee was smooth enough, but lacking a bigger flavor that I felt I achieved some times.
I used the method described by Peter in a Porlex-howto to calibrate my grind and remind myself to look at the coffee and check it against sites like ineedcoffee.com.
I am down to an “8”, having made a couple of rich cups at a “7”. And I am enjoying being mindful about the process.

Tiny House: Small Is Beautiful
I am looking into housing options and I keep coming back to Tiny Houses.
Web designer Alek Lisefski recently completed the Tiny Project, an 8 feet by 20 feet tiny house on wheels.
He designed every inch of this unique home and did most of the construction himself as well (the bulk of the work was completed evenings and weekends during the spring and summer months).
About a month ago, Lisefski towed it from Iowa to its current location in Sebastopol, California, USA.
Since then, he’s been living in the house full-time, along with his girlfriend Anjali and their small dog.
