Welcome to Perk-O-Late!

It’s finally time to kick things off. Let’s start with a quick run-down of what we hope to do with this site.

First of all, we just love coffee. I assume - since you’re reading this - that you also love coffee. You’ll like it here. Let’s get this fact out on the table now: we’re not coffee connoisseurs…yet. We drink a lot of coffee, know what we like, but we haven’t yet learned the ins-and-outs of regional characteristics, cupping or roasting. We’re embarking on that journey just now, and we built Perk-O-Late to share our discoveries with you.

That is not to say that connoisseurs aren’t welcome. The coffee community is a fantastic group of people, and like our favorite coffee shops, we want Perk-O-Late to be a place for great conversation. We solicit your feedback, your questions, your ideas and suggestions.

That said, we’re going to hit the ground(s) running. Our first order of business is to find the best places to buy green coffee beans. Once our first beans are in hand, we’ll explore the best (and most budget-friendly) ways to roast coffee at home. We’re itching to try roasting in a popcorn popper - and trust me - we’ll document the whole thing.

We have big plans for Perk-O-Late and we look forward to having you along. This will be a repository for coffee-related news and events, as well as an eventual database of coffee shop reviews by city. We welcome your submissions, comments, or just a friendly email!

So, that’s that. We’re live! Check back daily (or subscribe to our feed) to get your fix.
