Well, this week, I'd like to share something that's given me much joy lately: coffee! See, lately, in the Gyeongbokgung Station area, I've been finding a whole slew of amazing coffee shops, and I'd like to share them with my readers and friends.
So if you're free this Saturday, at 2pm, I'll be on the second floor of Twosome Place, near exit 1 of Anguk station, and anybody who comes out to meet up, will be treated to a coffee shop crawl of the neighborhood west of Gyeongbok Palace. There are a handful of places there selling a variety of great beans, and slow-drip coffee, siphon coffee, and other stuff; they are also selling top-quality beans, and if you're a Seoul-based lover of coffee, I'll level with you, and tell you that you really need to come out and find out about these places!
Show up at 2pm, and don't be late: we'll be leaving fairly promptly, because the coffee at twosome place doesn't stack up, compared to the awesome places we'll visit thereafter.
Stop having these kinds of coffee experiences: (discarded dishwater coffee handed out before a concert I attended once)
and start having experiences like this:
and this... if it were coffee, instead of ice rink:
and this... not that luwak's on the menu, but you might make the face I make when I smell, and then sip it...

Loved the video, a whole new level of coffee extremism.
It was also a whole new level of coffee perfection. Stunningly good coffee.
Ok, I may have been jealous, but if I tasted that stuff, I might even get tired of Starbucks coffee, which is expensive enough already!!
if you make your coffee at home, buying quality beans is better, AND way cheaper than Starbucks - a burr hand grinder (the recommended kind) isn't overly expensive, nor is a french press.
