A skimmed iced americano.

We’re skimming iced americanos. I never drank iced americanos because of the crema left afloat, these days are over.

In other news, I roasted the last bit of the ethiopia mordecofe, so git while the gittins good, as they used to say back in my hometown. If you happen to miss out on the last bit of the mordecofe as espresso, don’t fret because we got our new coffees! 25 bags of new coffee! Be stoked because they [...]

I haven’t blogged in a while, and so I thought I would blog. We’ve been open for three months now, and I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about Lauren’s skiing career. True story, she was a pro. When I get some photos of her on the slopes doing 360’s I’ll post them. Maybe until then I can post some pictures of Wille doing some 720’s off some mountain peaks in Alaska. Speaking of 360s, I feel it’s important for everyone [...]

Ryan and Mike return! And it’s not just today, it’s tomorrow!

My very own espressos will be released into the world via 9 bars of pressure. We’ll be serving the Guatemala Asobagri and the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. The coffees cupped out well, so let me know how they served you as espressos.

Let’s talk about roasting. Our roasting dates and times vary. We try not to roast any time other than the early morning and night time (usually around closing time). The roaster [...]

2010: a space odyssey

mike — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 18:26:00 +0000

Happy new year! We’re going to kick this year off with a new blend. I didn’t think we’d be going with any blends at all, but as it turns out, this new blend is a gem. A blend consisting of the Guatemala Villaure and the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, a blend that defies all odds.

2010 news:

The toast is dynamite. We have three different loaves today.

New coffees on the way, so keep your eyes and ears open.

Sadly, it is Mike and Ryan’s last [...]

These are the seven deadly sins.

The installation no longer exists in the cafe, but to those that missed it, it was eye opening.

Next installation:
