Well, last month I had the great pleasure of being in two different weddings. First my sister got married and I was able to walk her down the aisle with our mom. Secondly, our good friends, Wood and Rachael Seim, got married and I stood up as a groomsman. At both of these weddings, I was able to "test the metal" and do a little coffee catering. These were two very different receptions, my sister's was very small (40 people) and intimate on a very warm, almost hot day. The Seim's reception was for around 150-200 folks on a nice, but rather windy/little-chilly evening. For my sister's I did it all myself it was not problem was able to brew up some great coffee, meet new people, talk to old friends, and share Fika. For Seim's I brought in reinforcement by way of a good friend Matthew Kunkle (who also is helping this Fika venture from afar). Matthew drove up from the Minneapolis to help brew some coffee. For both weddings we were brewing up Counter Culture Coffee with the Concepcion Huista from Huehuetenango Guatemala, by far being my favorite. Matthew and I got a little late set up than we had hoped for, but when we started brewing, we did not stop. We were doing 1.5 liter french presses and we had a line for the next two and half hours of people waiting for a cup. This was truly a Fika experience, as we had time to talk and share with people while they waited and sometimes they would even keep chatting after they got their coffee. These were great times for me to do what I love and share it with people. How is your Fika Time?
