I am Peter Van de Reep, a Vancouver-based ex-barista. I have worked at Wicked Café in Vancouver and Phil & Sebastian Coffee in Calgary. In real life I am a geology researcher at the University of British Columbia. My research is in the realm of experimental structural geology. In layman terms, I break rocks under very high pressures as well as trying to flow high pressure fluids through rocks. Other than rocks and coffee, I am passionate about food, drinks, eclectic music and cycling. Catch me on my daily commute from Gastown to UBC… I’m the guy with the gigantic Chrome Kremlin racing around the streets.

49th Parallel El Salvador La Montaña
Excellent coffee for everyday drinking. Well expressed acidity and classic El Salvador profile.

Bulleit Bourbon
By far the best bourbon available in BC for the price. $35 for a bottle gets you the highest rye content bourbon on the market. Lots of spice and typical bourbon corn sweetness. Excellent on its own, but also makes a mean Old Fashioned. Better than Knob Creek in my books and pretty close to Woodford Reserve.
