Our Favorite Gear for the Year: 2018
Is it truly November already? In a flash, 2018 has sped along, cycling us through the seasons and now is gently nudging us toward the turn of a new year. Though this year was a little quieter in terms of travel, we still made our way out to the yearly SCA Expo in Seattle, where we spent plenty of time scoping out the newest coffee toys.
