It’s a thing of beauty. So beautiful in fact, that over 70 years ago it was added to the collection by the Museum of Modern Art. It can also be found in the Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A science experiment and a piece of art all at once, the Chemex is a type of pour over drip…
littlest little dear baby, you have my heart so stop. stop all this growing. please. don’t become a real boy. swirling whirling life. i can’t hang on the clock keeps… marching. and here we live chasing a dream we chase the dream for you. for two boys in africa our souls would burst if we…
I miss this littlest little so much. Theres a little boy at church who is about the same age is this little munchkin. I can’t play with him or make funny eyes at him…. well too much… cos it makes me miss your little man so much it hurts.
Heres a little hug for both the boys. So much love to you all.
DISCLAIMER: I am not implying that the following happened because I ate this scary piece of meat. This scary piece of meat was delicious, and I know for a fact that it did not cause the following to happen. I ate this scary piece of meat in Kenya. I’m not in Kenya anymore. That was…
Girl, this is nuts. Instead of a documentary you should switch to a sitcom. There is enough tragic comedy to keep people coming back. Love ya!
By saying I like it –I mean the writing not the amoeba. Praying you stay healthy
Can’t wait to return to Burundi. My stomach is nerveous, very nerveous, now. Hope to meet you soon.
I feel sorry for you. Don’t eat unclean food, and be very careful to cook the food through if you do not sure about the food itself.
Oh gosh. I am so sorry! I have been there and done that in Uganda… and it is not fun! Praise God that you have a western doctor to help!
Long Miles Coffee Project from Cooked in Africa on Vimeo. Yeah, I know. I feel like we have some explaining to do. For the last six months, on and off, a film crew has been following us around documenting our journey into Burundi. The show is mostly about our lives, which scares me silly, and…
Sunel! I miss you like CRAZY! Thanks for directing me to this beautiful site. @Kristy – you are a daily inspiration to me – good luck with your coffee project! The video is gorgeous and I can’t wait to see it aired. And I can’t wait for your next post:)
Wow, incredible, tear-jerking video!
Keep going guys – your story is an inspiration!
amazing work, so inspiring… keep up the great efforts!!!!
Thanks D n D! WIll try to do another post about how the show came about. Danielle, your instincts serve you well jedi master… 
Kristy, how did this all come about? How did you meet the film crew? I would love if you would blog more about it at some point. Love the video … so moving. Thanks for letting us in on more of your life in Burundi. You all inspire me.
I was wondering what was going on with the filming:) Ryan kept asking me about it and I just made a friendly little bet with him yesterday that something would come out soon! I should have put money on that bet:)
Don’t worry guys… this is still a blog about Africa, coffee, and whatever else it’s about EVEN THOUGH this week it looks like a maternity photographer’s blog. What can I say? I love those preggie bellies! The great people over at On To Baby are featuring my session with Bonita and her husband, Dylan, today….

longmilescoffee - Bernadette, that sounds amazing!
bernadette - this is my coffee treat (brewed via chemex method) at the farmers market….i add organic heavy cream and then get a fresh baked cinnamon cake donut!!! very zen!!
Lou Pignolet - I love your website with the great story of your adventure and all the wonderful images. I love coffee and appreciate your detailed description of the chemex brewing method. This is the best description of this I have seen any where. There are all these coffee websites selling single origin coffee and they never go over the details of extraction, which is so important. I would love to buy some Burundi coffee beans. I live near Grand Marais Minnesota and met some local guys starting a coffee roasting operation and that is how I learned of your site. How can one make a donation to help the longmilescoffeeproject directly?
Caren - hello! I wish I had come across this fabulous (and pretty!) Chemex tutorial ages ago; *so* helpful! I am going to tweak my Chemexing accordingly.
On another note, I am getting lost in the pages of this beautiful Burundi bloggy space you have created. I am learning something new with every post I read & every photo I see.

Alex & Kath - Hi Guys
A friend of mine (Jess Scott) recommended I check out your work.
Very interesting! Just wanted to say how impressed I am with the photos…that’s some serious photography!
Anyways, we’re travelling through Africa and thought we’d say hi.
I hear Burundi is dangerous at the moment but everyone has an opinion. (Might visit if it’s safe)
We are in Tanzania and then off to Rwanda (which I hear has some of the best coffee in the world…)
Keep up the good work!
