Will it Creamer- How it Came to Be

 

So Will it Creamer was really my first idea for a series on Java Central. It started as an inspiration from the 'Will it' videos from Good Mythical Morning. I've always been a huge fan of Rhett and Link and thought it would be fun little series inspired by their own series.

My first idea for 'Will it Creamer' was to be set up just like Good Mythical Mornings (GMM). I would make my episode about whatever I was going to make that week and follow it up with a will it creamer on some random thing I would put in my coffee, drink it, probably throw it back up, and just have a good ole time with it. Problem is, we as a society can't pay attention that long (with me being guilty of this as well) and a 15 minute video of some random guy blabbering on about coffee would make anyone want to go nuts. So I decided to make it a monthly thing.

Now like many youtubers, we have all sorts of dreams and aspirations to do it once a month but then, you know, we got other super awesome ideas for a video and completely forget about our original idea.

Now the idea for this particular will it creamer was inspired by my pumpkin spice latte recipe. I thought to myself, 'you know, self, some people probably don't like pumpkin spice lattes and think they are gross. I wonder if someone would want to watch my hairy chinned self drink a really gross one...' Then I began brewing up ideas on how to make it gross. First, I would have to make it with actual pumpkin. Not from like a can, like a wuss but an actual pumpkin. Now I could have brought a huge normal sized one but I figured that would be way to much mess for the amount of pumpkin I would need, so I got a little fella. Now when I thought spice I initially thought, OOO spicy. And that's where the hot sauce idea came from for the 'spice' part of the 'pumpkin spice latte'. Now you might be wondering, well where's the latte part? Well... there isn't one. It's just a title I guess. But it really was a gross pumpkin spice latte that, if I drank more than a sip, I would probably have some seriously upset stomach and terrible regret later. If you catch my drift.

Well I hope you liked this little back story on my will it creamer series and on this video. If you want to check out the video, I would probably love you forever. Unless you stink. Then I'll love everything about you but your stench. OH and go brew up some love for somebody!

Gross Coffee Reaction Video ft. Stoney Joe- Javaman Reacting to a Disgus...

So this dude, Stoney Joe, said, man I love you Will it Creamer videos. So because of that, he said he had to do his own version of it. I, needless to say, was quite flattered. He asked if I could make a reaction video to it so here it is! Hope you like it.

Worlds Oldest Coffee Shop- A History of Cafes Around The World

Today, we go back in history to find the worlds oldest coffee shop, or cafe, or coffee house, or however you want to call it. It, unofficially, is more of a video for a history of cafes around the world (or again coffee shop, coffee house, whatever). First we explore the oldest coffee shop in America. This would be the Caffe Reggio. Now, the Caffe Reggio was founded in 1920 and was the first place to make a cappuccino in America. This old coffee shop, the Caffe Reggio, is known for it's old espresso maker, made in 1902, as well as beautiful art. This includes a bench from a very rich family in Italy as well as art from the Baroque period!

 Next is the Cafe Florian. The Cafe Florian was founded in 1720. The Cafe Florian is the oldest coffee shop in Italy and is the oldest active coffee shop in the world. I have a wonderful history with this cafe as I have previously visited it when on my honeymoon with my wife. The music they play outside the cafe sets a perfect atmosphere in the plaza of Saint Mark. With the Cafe Florian being the oldest active coffee shop in the world, it has some neat history. It has multiple halls with different types of paintings and things in these halls. However, this is still not the oldest cafe in the world. For that we have to go even further back in time. The oldest coffee shop in the world is the Kiva Han. With the Kiva Han being the oldest cafe in the world, it was founded in Constantinople, or Istanbul now a days. It was founded in the 15th century and not much is known about it. My guess would be is, because of the multiple wars that have been raged in that area, any information about the cafe, if there was much to begin with, has been destroyed within that time period, as the Ottoman Empire first founded the cafe.
