IDS 302 Project - Third Wave Coffee - Order
The Order
Third-Wave coffee is defined by its progression away from the mass-production method common in Second-Wave shops, like Caribou or Starbucks.i A typical Second-Wave shop will offer a large number of coffee and espresso beverages with limitless options for the customer to tailor-make their own drink. A barista at Starbucks will often hear requests for X pumps of flavored syrup, whipped cream, soy/skim/whole milk, extra hot, and upside down. After receiving such an order, a barista follows an automated process to grind the beans, pull the shot of espresso, steam the milk, and blend in all the extras. These add-ons and automation create uniformity among a coffee chain's many locations. However, the overall quality of the drink suffers. The brewing process effectively masks the natural flavors and subtleties of the coffee. Third-Wave shops value these nuances and let their coffee speak for itself.
Because Third-Wave coffee shops want to bring out the best that every coffee has to offer, they place great value in the skill of the barista. The barista is the last step in the process to making great coffee. After sourcing, importing, and roasting, the barista brings the coffee to fruition through the brewing process. As opposed to Second-Wave shops, Third-Wave coffee brewing is primarily manual rather than mechanical.ii The coffee grinder is usually the only automatic part of the process, and brew methods are all completed by hand. Third-Wave shops have done away with the endless list of syrups and other options that distract from the true taste of the coffee. Instead, baristas usually serve beverages left plain in order to preserve the integrity in each cup. Flavored syrup selection is usually limited to specific drinks. Some shops even make their own syrups from scratch.iii Third-Wave baristas adhere to traditional standards for portion sizes, allowing the customer the appropriate amount of time to enjoy each beverage before it cools.iv A well rounded barista will have skill in both brewing coffee and crafting espresso drinks.
The beauty of the Third-Wave coffee movement is its diversity. Currently there are no universal standards for judging coffee, although there are many guidelines generally agreed upon.v Thus, most Third-Wave shops have their own criteria for judging, brewing, and presenting their coffee. Even among the diversity, there are commonalities in brew methods. In a comparison of some leading Third-Wave shops, the most common brew methods are french press, chemex, single-serve pour over, and siphon/vacuum pot.vi Each of these methods has its advantages and fall backs, which gives the customer a variety of experiences for single coffee. The skilled barista knows exactly how to produce the best product from each one of these manual brew methods. Even with a variety brew methods, straight coffee offers little personal expression from the barista. Espresso is where most baristas show their skill. The crafting of espresso beverages is discussed at length in the World Barista Championship article.
Baristas in Third-Wave coffee shops take pride in their work. They have moved away from automated processes to become true artisans of the coffee trade. The barista creates drinks that bring out the best in each coffee and leaves it up to the consumer to judge the quality of the cup.

96 Hours in Portland, Oregon
96 Hours in Portland, Oregon - What to See When Visiting
If you only have 96 hours to visit Portland, Oregon, you have plenty of time to see a lot - and time to get outside the main city, too. My friends and I visited Portland and found lots of things to do and see. Here's our trip to Portland, Astoria, Cannon Beach, and more.
Things to Do in Portland Oregon:
Oregon has some great coffee and donuts. If you're a fan of one, or both, I'd suggest starting your day with a new place each morning. Some of places we visited:
Stumptown Coffee- one of my favorites.
Upper Left Roasters
Blue Star - unique looking donuts, good coffee too.
Voodoo Doughnut- This is in a category of it's own. This place is super trendy and there's always a line out the door. If crazy donuts are your thing, this is the place to go. If standing in line is your thing, this is the place to go. Also, cash only, but they do have an ATM inside.
Food in Portland Oregon:
I'd definitely suggest checking out the street food. Food carts/trucks line the streets and you can take your pick from one of the many. Many of them also have been on TV/food competitions.
Also, since Portland is just the hipster/trendy capital of everything they have some great restaurants to try. Here are the ones we tried
Weird things to see in Portland:
The Boeing 727 aircraft sitting in the forest. A man decided to live in the woods, but his home is not a house. It's an aircraft. He towed in a 727 to call home. It's been there for years and is quite a sight. He's even willing to give tours sometimes. Just be respectful and get permission to go on his property before setting out for this one.
Cool things to do in Portland:
Find the waterfalls - Portland has a lot of waterfalls around. Just a short drive east and you'll find Multnomah. One of the most popular ones. But there are plenty of other fun ones to find on your own too. When we visited, Multnomah was closed off to the public, but we found some alternates that were still great.
Road trips outside of Portland:
Astoria - A port city northwest of Portland. It's a quiet town, but being right on the water makes it extremely relaxing. Also, this is the town of the famous Goonies house. But I wouldn't get your hopes up if you're expecting to see it up close. Apparently, due to a lot of fans trespassing, littering, and being verbally abusive to the home owner, tours and even getting close to the house are not allowed. You can still get a decent photo from the neighborhood though. But the neighbors will probably hate you.
Cannon Beach - A beautiful beach with the awesome Haystack Rock. This is a great place to chill year-round and an awesome place to watch the sunset.
I hope you liked my video of our trip to Portland, Oregon. I'd love to go back in the summer and visit again. There is so much nature around the city and plenty of places to eat and drink in the city. Nature or city person, it's a great place to check out.

The 10 SNOBBIEST CITIES in AMERICA
When it comes to being a snob, there are all types. You’ve got music snobs, instagram snobs, wine snobs, and of course, political snobs.
And yes, there’s even city snobs, as in ‘I’m better than you because I live in a particular city.’
The goal today is to see which cities have the most snobs of all. We’re gonna get a little bit of every type of snob in America. Some west coast liberal snobs, southern charm snobs, east coast political snobs, and of course, the smarty pants snobs.
To determine the snobbiest states in America, we had to measure snobby things, based on the number of snobby factors in each metro area. You know, the places where people are wealthy, live in big homes, attend theaters, shop at organic markets, and send their kids to private school. We even measured which states have the most college graduates.
Most of these cities have a lot of snobby, elitist people who make snobby their hobby.
So turn up your pinkies as we go through America’s Snobbiest Cities.
10. Washington, DC
Ah, look at what we have here. Our first stop we make drops by the home of the wealthy east coast elite, the Washington DC snob. Otherwise known as the social status snob.
Oh, and here are their snobby little children.
In DC, it’s very important that you make sure everyone knows you have plans for the weekend, that you’ve been to the latest restaurant to open in the neighborhood, and that you have a maid, laundry service, or food delivered every night.
9. Boulder, Colorado
Would you believe that the average home cost in Boulder is $630k a year? It’s true. Being able to afford to live here alone creates a certain level of snootiness among the Colorado elite. Many have described Boulder as an outdoorsy, hippie aristocracy.
8. Seattle, California
Let’s take a peek into the lives of the west coast snob. This is a newer creature who perhaps made his or her money in tech or a startup. The Seattle snobs complain about the homeless, and the cost of living, but they’re part of the problem themselves.
Of course, there’s a lot of Coffee snobs here in Seattle, home of the snobbiest culinary restaurant on earth, Starbucks. But Seattleites will look down on your pumpkin spice latte in favor of the offblend Egyptian variety they got at whole foods or at the farmers market.
And, Nordstrom is headquartered here. That’s so snobtastic.
7. Charleston, South Carolina
There are art museums and private schools up the wazoo in Charleston. And in case you didn’t know, the cost of a house in Charleston proper is more than us regular 99 percenters can afford.
Plus, downtown Charleston has perhaps the highest concentration of snobby retail in the nation.
Just a quick search shows us places like Louis and J Crew.
6. Pasadena, CA
Pasadena calls itself crown city, which means they are coronating themselves as elitists. Here you’ll find the 3rd highest number of private schools in the nation, 4th most theaters per capita, and one of the wealthiest enclaves in the country, too.
What, you haven’t heard of this fine place, Pasadena? Have you ever watched the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day? That’s in Pasadena.
5. Berkeley, CA
Berkeleyites are so much smarter, more sophisticated, progressive, and way more learned than you and I. In fact, Berkeley was called the 5th brainiest city in the entire country by a somewhat reputable source we found on Google.
4. Los Angeles, CA
Have you ever been to LA? As if. This is the center of all that is snobberific. Even downtown LA, which used to be a total dump, is on the snob upswing. Places like West Hollywood, West LA, Brentwood, Westwood, Pacific Palisades, Manhattan Beach, Playa Del Rey...there are snobs all over the place.
3. Portland, Oregon
Spend a weekend in Portland, and you’ll run into all sorts of people in the snob family tree. There’s wine snobs, coffee snobs, beer snobs, farmers market snobs.
2. Cambridge, Massachusetts
There’s one big reason Cambridge is on this list. It starts with an S and ends in MART. These folks are just geniuses. They’re spoiled with culture, too.
Not only do families in Cambridge command relatively big salaries, over two-thirds of the residents in Cambridge have a college degree. This is home to Harvard University, after all.
1. San Francisco, CA
The median home price here is $1.7 million. And that’s the median price. Those were the home prices when I wrote this, you can bet they went up again by the time you’re watching this video.
Besides the high home prices and the inflated egos that come with a booming tech scene, it’s also one of the smartest places in the country too.
This channel talks about America, different states, education, travel, geography and what it's like to live in different places in America.

IDS 302 Project - Third Wave Coffee - World Barista Championship
WBC
With its growing and widespread popularity, Third-Wave coffee culture has developed thriving international communities. One of the main ways that the international Third-Wave community has gathered over the last two decades is the World Barista Championship.i This competition is similar to other large scale sporting events, with regional, national, and global competitions. The World Barista Championship celebrates the skill of the barista, community of people passionate about coffee, and the most excellent of all beverages.
The first World Barista Championship was held in Monte Carlo, Monaco in 2000.ii Twelve international competitors represented their countries in an attempt to bring home the prize. This first Championship was won by Robert Thoresen of Norway. Over the next several years, the competition grew steadily as it attracted the attention of coffee professionals and spectators. Six of the first Seven individuals to be crowned World Barista Champion hailed from Scandinavia. It was not until the 2007 competition in Tokyo that the baristas from the North would find their match. This was a significant year for the competition for many reasons, including the first WBC in Asia, a record crowd of over 2000 spectators, and a competition field of 45 national baristas. 2011 saw the first competition in South America the first champion from a coffee producing country. The 2013 WBC will be held in Melbourne, Australia in conjunction with the International Coffee Expo on May 23-26.
The WBC adheres to specific standards for judging in order to make the competition as objective as possible.iii Each barista has a fifteen minute time limit to produce an espresso, cappuccino, and a signature drink for each of the four sensory judges. In addition to the four sensory judges who evaluate the quality of each drink, there is also a technical judge who evaluates the preparation of each drink and a head judge who scores the overall performance. Baristas are scored on their knowledge of the coffee that they use, the presentation of their drinks, originality of their signature drink, and overall professionalism.
The coffee that each barista selects for their espresso bears a lot of weight on the quality of the end product. Coffees are chosen and evaluated through a process called cupping.iv This evaluation process is similar to wine tasting. Coffee cupping is often more important to the selection process than wine tasting since coffee does not have universal standards for labeling and categorization.v Cupping offers a full experience of a single coffee, assessing its every aspect. First, a coffee is scored on its fragrance and aroma. Second, the coffee is tasted and scored on its flavor, acidity, body, balance, and aftertaste. This process is repeated several times as the coffee cools, since the flavor changes subtly at different temperatures. As the cup reaches room temperature, it is finally evaluated on its sweetness, uniformity, and cleanliness. Each coffee receives a score out of 100. Coffees that receive above 80 points are considered specialty coffees. Coffees that score above 94 are among the best in the world.vi These are usually the coffees selected by baristas for competition.
Like any sporting event, the World Barista Championship has its share of sponsors. In the United States, there are two major groups that organize and sponsor each competition. The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) is an organization with a wide variety of roles that is committed to helping the specialty coffee industry and those who work in it reach their fullest potential.vii The Barista Guild of America (BGA) is another organization that is associated with the SCAA which provides standards and certification for professional baristas.viii These official organizations help to provide a close-knit community for professionals in the Third-Wave movement.

Portland 2018
Greetings from Portland! Learn about our city, school, and all the reasons Portland, Oregon is the best place to study English.
...
...
...
Hi! I'm Adam Passmore, Student Services and Independent Sales Advisor in Portland, Oregon, and I'm excited to tell you about our awesome city and school!
Portland is such a unique city in so many ways. We're just a short drive from the Pacific Ocean, snow-capped Mt. Hood, beautiful deserts, valleys dotted with wineries, and deep old growth forests.
(Andrea): 'I love the nature in Portland, there are many mountains and parks and rivers, beaches, it's a very good place.'
(Emily): 'Portland is a great city for students to come and visit because it's the perfect size. There's a lot of diversity and things to do. Students won't get bored, but they also won't be overwhelmed.'
Portland itself is a city of about 650,000 people--that's just about 80,000 fewer than Seattle--but with a much more small-town, residential feel. The people here are friendly, helpful, and cool.
Portland is famous for being home to a lot of innovative, hip, and influential businesses, like local breweries and coffee roasters, eco-friendly clothing and art boutiques, and industry leaders like Nike.
(William): 'Kaplan is a good place to meet new friends, I go out with my friends after school every day. It's fantastic!'
(Viviane): 'I love Portland! This place is wonderful for studying English.'
Getting around the city is a breeze thanks to an extensive, efficient network of public transportation, including buses, streetcar, and the MAX light rail train.
With so much to see and do in Portland, there's always a new adventure for students to discover, either independently or through our social program. Our school activities and events are always led by staff, not by third-party companies.
(Noriko): 'Portland is good for me because hiking, cycling, and doing yoga!'
(Kyle): 'In Portland, there are a lot of opportunities for creativity such as art and music.
Whether it's skiing on Mt. Hood, volunteering in the community, or happy hour at a microbrewery, students are sure to find lots of fun things to do on our calendar!
Here at KI Portland, we understand that each student's experience is unique and important. Because our school is small, we are able to build strong, friendly relationships between individual students and staff. We want students to feel special, from the moment they arrive at PDX airport to their graduation day.
(Mohammed): 'I like the staff at Kaplan here. They smile everyday, and they make me smile!'
(Jeremy): 'We have the best teachers, we have the best staff, and if you really want to practice your English in Portland, there's a lot of nice people to talk with.'
(Rachel): 'When students are thinking about studying abroad, they often choose a big city that they know a lot about. But if you want to have a unique experience, we encourage you to take a bold step, and choose Portland, where you'll find our friendly, focused, experienced staff waiting to support you. Your goals and dreams will become our goals and dreams. We want to celebrate your successes with you, and help you overcome any obstacles that you face. Portland is a city for a student who is comfortable with their individuality, and also strong enough to take their own path.'
Thanks for watching! We hope you learned some more about why Portland is a great choice for your students. Of course, the best way to learn more about our city is to visit. Just don't forget to stop by Kaplan for a tour. See you soon!

The Columbia River Gorge is a canyon of the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Up to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) deep, the canyon stretches for over 80 miles (130 km) as the river winds westward through the Cascade Range forming the boundary between The State of Washington to the north and Oregon to the south. Extending roughly from the confluence of the Columbia with the Deschutes River down to eastern reaches of the Portland metropolitan area, the gorge furnishes the only navigable route through the Cascades and the only water connection between the Columbia River Plateau and the Pacific Ocean. The coffee in Portland was great..

IDS 302 Project - Third Wave Coffee - Coffee & Coffee First
Community, pretentious side -- Coffee and Coffee First sketch
One of the major themes seen in the third wave coffee movement is the sense of community they aim to create. This sketch offers what third wave shops try not to be. There are some who are of the opinion that third wave is pretentious and cult-like, where one has to be in in order to get coffee and be included. Although some share this view, it is not the dominating trend, and it is definitely not the case with 3030 Coffee or Phoenix Coffee, both third wave shops.
Both these companies are committed to community building on a local level. Phoenix is very committed to its original location, Cleveland Ohio. They enjoy emphasizing the idea of their coffee being roasted in the 216, which is the area code of much of the Cleveland area. Even their name connects with the idea of Cleveland. A phoenix is a mythical creature that rises out of its ashes. Cleveland is a city that was hit by the same recession as the rest of the rust-belt and steel based industry cities. The idea of Cleveland rising out of its ruins and becoming a great city again was in the minds of those who founded Phoenix coffee, and they are aware of this connection.
Like Phoenix, 3030 also chose their location because they wanted to bring great coffee to that specific area. Once in these areas, both companies try to incorporate the community into their events. One event at 3030 is called the Barista Jam. They bring in baristas from the area and they compete in coffee making. This event is designed to help these people network, build relationships, and have a fun event for the community. Building relationships is a part of their vision, and through events like this they achieve this goal. Phoenix hosts similar community events. One of their events currently going on is a text of what method of storing coffee works best. In each of their shops on various Saturdays they are inviting coffee lovers to come and test their pallets. The winners will go on to judge the final round of the competition. Instead of bringing in professionals to judge and do research, Phoenix reaches out to the community and tries to include them in improving their company.
Along with connecting to the community overall, third wave shops often try to create what is called a third-space. People have work and home, the first two places, and third wave shops try to become a person's third place. This is a place people feel at home at, it is another place they go daily, the people in the shop are practically part of their family in this model. In a third place it does not exactly matter what your social background is, it is the coffee that connects you, it is a unifying factor. A great example of this is Phoenix's East 9th Street location. Being located in this part of Cleveland this shop sees great diversity, and the surprising thing is the interaction of the various groups there. The shop is located not far away from a bank headquarters, so the top executives of that bank frequent the shop. At the same time there are a few homeless that spend their days in the shop, and the people there care for them. So in the same place there are some of Cleveland's wealthiest and Cleveland's poorest interacting with each other with no barriers. The more you look into this movement, though, the less surprising the community oriented intentions are, You would be surprised at how many people in Third-Wave are ex-pastors or people that came from ministry. It allows you to be way more accessible and to have conversations about life or about whatever. This Christian influence on this movement is evident by their actions in the community.
roasting, direct trade, background to 3rd wave (motivations) -- Commercial
The coffee movement in America can be broken down pretty well into three waves. The first wave started in the late 19th century and peaked around 1940s. This movement was the Folgers and Maxwell House stage of coffee. Mass produced, the same stuff on every table of every kitchen of America. The second wave started in the 1960s with Peet's Coffee and finally climaxed with Starbucks. They made espresso drinks inspired by Italian pioneers. Their espresso machines are geared toward giving the same cup of coffee at every storefront across America. The third wave started in the 1990s (as all good things did), and gradually started taking hold in the mid-2000s. This wave of coffee precision in all stages of the coffee process is key. From farming, to sourcing beans, roasting, grinding, brewing, and finally handcrafting them into drinks. The term was officially coined by Trish Skeie in 2003.
Seattle Travel Tips: 8 Things to Know Before You Go
Everything YOU need to know before you travel to Seattle Washington. With a population of 750,000, Seattle is located in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by water, evergreen forests, and mountains. The official nickname for Seattle is Emerald City, for all the trees. Also known as the Gateway to Alaska because it’s the closest big US city to Alaska. A major departure point for Alaska cruises. Seattle is home to major US companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Costco, and Formerly Boeing. Seattle is the birthplace of many iconic music acts like Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. Seattleites have a rep for being cold and standoffish. It's known as the Seattle Freeze.
2 - Weather
150 days of rain a year, with an average rainfall of 37 inches. It's generally not a huge downpour, but more of a steady drizzle. Make sure to bring a raincoat and umbrella.. Although you generally wont see the locals using an umbrella, just a raincoat. And if it's not raining, it's usually cloudy. Don't expect blue skies and sun here. Cloudy 201 days out of the year and partly cloudy 93 days. Winter is quite cold. Averages about 5 inches of snow per year.. If its snowing, don’t plan on going much of anywhere. The city mostly shuts down.
3 - Getting in
Flying in you’ll likely land at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac for short)
Home to Alaska Airlines
Take the light rail in to downtown. Takes approximately 40 minutes from the airport to downtown.
Amtrak trains
Coast Starlight from LA via Portland
Cascades runs from Vancouver, through Seattle, to Eugene Oregon
Empire Builder comes in all the way from Chicago
Driving in, it’s about 3 hours from Portland or Vancouver
4 - Getting around
Lots of water around. Which makes getting around slow.
Seattle traffic is awful.. I personally still get a rental car.
Don't want to rent one for the whole trip? Use Car2Go.
Seattle has one light rail line. Trains arrive every 6 to 15 minutes.
2 street car lines. Fares are $2.50 for adults.
1 Monorail line, from Westlake Center to Seattle Center. It’s a 2 minute ride for $2.50
Lots of bus lines too.
Oh and I mentioned water.. There’s also water taxis, and ferries.
Uber and Lyft are plentiful
Walking is the best way to get around.. but it's quite hilly. Maybe even more so than San Francisco. So bring your hill climbing shoes.
5 - Food
Just like NYC, Seattle has lots of very good restaurants, but they are expensive. Known for seafood. Locally caught Salmon and Crab. Shellfish, oysters.
Eat a Geoduck (gooey-duck) Clam, native to Washington. Popular in Asian cuisine.. 50% of all geoducks get exported to China. somewhere between chewy clam and a tender abalone, though crisper in texture than either”
Seattle hot dog.. with grilled onions Cream Cheese
Fast food of choice is Teriyaki
Adding to Seattle’s well-known hipster status it has a wide variety of micro-breweries. Over 200 breweries
6 - Coffee
Seattlite love coffee, and coffee shops. The coffee shop is like an extension of most people's homes, they study, they meet people, oh, and they drink some coffee.
Starbucks started in Seattle. There are more Starbucks per person in Seattle than in any other city. In Pike Place they call it the original.. But the original one is no more. If you are a fan of Starbucks visit their flagship Starbucks Reserve Seattle Roastery on Capitol Hill.
Bikini Baristas started in Seattle too.
7 - Hotels
I think the best place to stay is in the heart of downtown. Then you won’t have to fight traffic, or deal with the lousy public transit because you can walk to most things. Expensive during the weekend. Try visiting on the weekend when all the business folks are gone.
Want something a little quieter? Try the Queen Anne Neighborhood by the space needle. Still close, and probably a bit cheaper. Just not in the middle of it all.
Bainbridge Island for cheaper hotels
It's a 35 minute ferry ride in to Seattle for a cheap $8 round trip.
Or even around Seatac Airport
8 - Big attractions
Pike Place Market, Seattle Space Needle, the Waterfront.

Monkey's Tour of Portland
Monkey leads a tour of Portland, Maine. Robbie Williams sings Me and My Monkey. Because Monkey bungles most of the facts about his hometown, we've added a Cliff Notes Version of Portland.
1632 - Portland settled.
1675 - Portland's first fire occurs when the Wampanoag people understandably attack during King Phillip's War. Silly King Phillip.
Second Fire occurs several years later.
1775 - Third fire is ordered by Captain Henry Mowatt. (Mowat?) of the Royal Navy
1866 - Fire number four is the Great Fire of July 4, 1866. It started in a boat house on Commercial Street, likely caused by a firecracker or a cigar ash. The fire spread to a lumber yard and on to a sugar house, then spread across the city, eventually burning out on Munjoy Hill in the city's east end. Only two people died in the fire, but 1,800 buildings were burned to the ground making almost 10,000 people homeless.
We don't know how many pounds of lobster Portland hauls in per year. Monkey made it up as he went along. Silly Monkey.
