Its time for a little fun with video! We’re adding a new video section to the ExpressionEngine Showcase. If you use ExpressionEngine in your business, organization or for personal use, we want to hear why, and we want to see your face and hear your voice when you tell us! Smile big, take a deep breath, and in 2 minutes or less, tell us why you choose ExpressionEngine. We’ll add your video and a link back to your website.

Post Permalink or Show Us Your Mug page for details.

ExpressionEngine Mugs in the Wild.

Sounds like a great idea! Well done Leslie 😊

Best wishes,

Mark

Where did you purchase that syringe type coffee contraption?  I want one. I’m tired of making huge pots of coffee.

Edit: I found one.

I’m a coffee snob and proud of it! But I’m also a cheap-skate. Those two often conflict and the Aeropress is a great compromise. EspressoMyEspresso has some worthwhile Aeropress tips.

The “gold cylinder” is a Zassenhaus Turkish Mill.

I forgot what the coffee was but its most likely a roast from either Cultiva or Good Sip both local roasters here in Lincoln.

1. Can you enter if you have already been featured in a Showcase?
2. How do we submit the video (I read it three times but don’t see the answer.

Cool stuff!

1. Yes!

2. There is a Video Submission form at the bottom of the Show Us Your Mug! page. You have to be logged in to see it. I’ll add a link to it from the opening paragraph to make that more clear.

Edit: It would also have been helpful if a certain VP had updated the Mug weblog permissions before taking it live.

Thanks for the links. They were very useful.

I used to consider myself a coffee snob. But when I finally changed from paper cups to regular mugs I realized the paper was a major contributor to the flavor I thought I had perfected. :D

This was a trip to see…so many blisters…so much copper in the bloodstream…reminds me of the old country and made very jealous of your setup…now I want coffee…nooo not the drip crap 😉
The idea and the clip is awesome!

I found a grinder that’s comparable to the one linked above and at a great price. There’s no picture, but if you look at the other Pepper/Spice Mills by the same company they look much like the Turkish one Leslie linked.

I see this thread is being derailed via coffee. I did months of research on a grinders (manual and motorized) and the Zassenhaus Mills are very unique in their quality and craftsmanship. The Amazon one may be a good grinder, I don’t know, but its not a Zassenhaus. I wouldn’t buy a grinder I couldn’t see a review of some sort for. For those interested, Coffee Geek’s How to Buy an Espresso Machine is a good starting point.

I can only assume that after everyone gets their coffee the videos will start rolling in 😊

I just submitted my video

What if we just have a face meant for radio 😉

@sean - Thanks, got it! Your mug will be shipped out shortly.

What if we just have a face meant for radio 😉

You know, we’re well aware that us web pros ain’t exactly super models. If I put my face on video now and then so can anybody. But if “showing the face” is the only thing holding you back from a video we can update the requirements to change that.

Does that requirement make people to self-conscious?

I was just joking but I can imagine it could make some uncomfortable.

45 seconds of my ugly mug coming at ya… actually still uploading. 51.2Mb in total. Unfortunately the sound from the built in MacBook Mic ain’t great.
