It's Kuwento TimeÉwith 28 Filipina/x/o authors who share their truth about life, loss, love, family, fears, hopes, and dreams in the debut of 17 inspiring poems and 16 personal stories.

The Kuwento Book: An Anthology of Filipino Stories + Poems is a groundbreaking collection of powerful stories and poems by accomplished Filipina/x/o community writers, storytellers, artists, and leaders. You are invited to dive into this anthology of kuwentos, as contributing authors unpack the realities of being Filipina/x/o and express their truth about love and loss, family and community, dreams and fears, and self-discovery. No doubt, all readers of every age will connect and contemplate on these experiencesÐbeing moved to laugh, cry, and root for them within these pages.

ÒWe all have kuwentos to tell because we have lived our own lives,Ó says the editor and publisher, Pat Lindsay C. Catalla-Buscaino, known as Dr. Pinky. ÒBut many people are scared, afraid, and uncertain to share, because our stories have been historically dismissed and appropriatedÐin books, in school curriculum, and in the media. Now is the time to share with the world the voices of everyday, extraordinary Filipinas/xs/os who have been marginalized from mainstream narratives and traditional publishing houses. These stories and poems connect to our own experiences, validating the importance of representing the diversity of Filipinas/xs/os from all over the world. We are here, and we will keep telling our kuwentos for as long as we exist.Ó The Kuwento Book: An Anthology of Filipino Stories + Poems shines a much needed spotlight on the Filipina/x/o perspective from the United States, the Philippines, and beyond.

You'll read about:

- Growing up and figuring out life
- Moving to a new country or place, and finding your way
- Returning, discovering, and (re)creating home, family, and history
- The power of women, mothers, and grandmothers
- Navigating and questioning love, relationships, identity, culture, and gender stereotypes
- Loss of self, a loved one, or through COVID-19
- Creating community and what it means to give back

Has fit perfectly into my morning espresso
Color: Black&Silver
This seems to me to be an excellent small kitchen scale. I am new to the complexities of espresso making and have begun using this scale every morning to measure my dose and output. It is working just fine. Easy to operate, keep clean and store. I did not give it 5 stars because I have limited comparisons but I don’t expect and will not bother looking for anything better.

Perfectly fits what I needed for my espresso habit!
Color: Black&Silver
This Maestri House mini coffee scale is a great little tool for espresso and pour-over. The size is compact enough to fit under a portafilter or cup, and the 0.1g accuracy makes dialing in coffee much easier. I like the built-in timer, rechargeable USB-C battery, and clean black-and-silver look. It feels precise, practical, and easy to keep near the espresso machine. Great value for anyone who wants more consistent coffee.

Maestro House Mini Coffee Scale
I have begun to drink tea, pu’erh tea to be specific. I have several varieties and I have had a problem with getting consistent results. The varieties can be very different in size depending on when the leaves are harvested (leaves harvested in spring are much smaller). So the easiest way to get consistent results is by weight. This scale is very easy to use with a ceramic tea scoop, set the tea scoop on the scale, zero it out and add tea leaves. This has made my results much better, without the wild swings in strength I had been getting before trying to eyeball even measures. This scale gives me accurate measurements to one tenth of a gram.

Mostly great, except one little annoyance
Color: Black&Silver, Color: Black&Silver
Pros- lightweight, small, very accurate, easy to clean, timer included. Cons- I use this to brew espresso on my Breville Touch and to get an accurate reading, you have to place something flat (structured) under the scale. Otherwise the reading just jumps all over the place. I know lot of espresso machines have the same base, so this might be an issue for some! This is my reason for 4/5 stars. It’s an easy fix, it’s just kind of annoying. Value for the price seems to be on point. It’s easy to clean. It has a timer as well as scale (nice for espresso). Buttons work the first time you push them. That’s it that’s all

A solid upgrade!
Size: 53mm, Size: 53mm
This coffee tamper has been such a nice upgrade to my espresso routine. It has a solid, balanced weight that makes tamping feel smooth and effortless, and the textured grip gives it a really comfortable, secure feel in hand. There’s something satisfying about how neatly it presses down the coffee grounds—like it was made to fit perfectly. Since I started using it, my shots have been more consistent, with a beautiful crema and better flavor overall. If you’re looking for a tamper that’s simple, well-made, and does its job really well, this one’s definitely worth it.
