It's been over a year since I've posted on the Portland Cup blog. I've been busy with coffee roaster air cleaning systems (see youtube vids here:Cellar Door, Rochester, NY), helping open a bar/restaurant upstairs from the Cellar Door (http://www.2ndstorypdx.com) being a dad, and keeping it all afloat during the great recession.
It also seemed that I wasn't stumbling into the right people with the right product or know-how to produce the cup I'd been dreaming of. The kind of cup that could make the Portland Cup project a reality. I'd been looking hard at all sorts of cups in catalogs and on store shelves around the country, but nobody seemed to value the same criteria I did. That all changed a week or two ago when a customer walked in to the cafe with a Keep Cup (http://www.keepcup.com).
Beautiful design and as is, or with slight mods, the best cup for the Portland Cup system I've seen yet. I hope to contact the folks from Keep Cup soon.

The KeepCup is nice--what if the silicone band that's made in China was replaced with sleeves made from old bike inner tubes? Portland loves things made from inner tubes!
