3rd and final part of the visit to Vancouver, where I also catch up with my friend Ian, who’s been living here for a year. This might be my shortest episode yet… Also, as promised, I want to highlight Vancouver Coffee Snob (https://www.vancouvercoffeesnob.com) for his blog, map, and app Siply (https://www.getsiply.com/) that saved me time and money as I learned a little bit about the coffee scene here.

"You mean coffee not just pour water, stir stir meh?" asked the non-existent Incredulous Person.
No. It turns out making Real Coffee is a more involved process, and for those so inclined, you can dial in temperatures, brew ratios, and track roast dates to your heart's content.
