It doesn’t have to be a Starbucks-branded mug, but it helps if it’s a specific Starbucks drink size, such as a 16 oz. for grande or 20 oz. for venti.

I never knew that @Starbucks will let me give them my own thermal mug to put my Blonde Americano directly into AND give me a 10% discount for doing so. Woo! Saving the world one cup, one plastic lid and one plastic green stick at a time and saving money doing it.

My Venues travel mug met a sad demise yesterday in a valiant battle with a concrete floor. I’m taking suggestions on what new ceramic, 11-16 ounce travel mug I should invite as companion on my upcoming coffee adventures.

Monday #espresso with a Union biscuit sandwich at @kingdom_sgf in downtown Springfield, Missouri

New arrival as part of my @tradecoffeeco subscription. (I love this subscription!) La Familia Guarnizo from @JoecoffeeNYC in New York. Light roast, medium body, strong in caramel and syrupy flavors. I’m not a big Colombian coffee fan, but this is really good for a Colombia.

Espresso as the appetizer. Savory roll as breakfast. Single origin Ethiopia being brewed.

The drink to try at Kingdom Coffee in downtown Springfield, Missouri, is the Oat Milk Honey Latte. It’s bright. It’s subtly sweet. It’s complex. It’s coffee. What else could you ask for? @Kingdom_SGF

More coffee is coming to the SE side of Springfield, Missouri. Pay attention for a new shop called Architect Coffee. It's low-key right now, but it's under development and sounds like another great coffee shop coming together. #SGF #SpringfieldMO #coffeetime

Huge “Happy Birthday” to @thecoffeeethic in Springfield, Missouri!

The Coffee Ethic and its founder Tom Billionis have been huge influencers in how we here at 417Coffee think about coffee. It’s such a joy to see the Ethic thrive as a centerpiece of downtown Springfield.

[417coffee @417coffee]

Do you know of cascara? It’s a unique coffee derivative, taking the skins and fruit that surround the coffee bean, drying it and then using it as a tea. It’s referred to as “coffee cherry tea”. @thecoffeeethic is now producing its own cascara. Check it out!
