John Says...

I have been searching for several months for the perfect grinder for the home user and the search is over. These grinders have had a complete retooling from the internals up, and the company's commitment to grinder quality and level of service make them a perfect offering for our coffee and espresso loving customers.

40 mm conical burrs, tooled in Germany.

Beans anxiously awaiting their fate.

Complete details in a few days.


Also: Exceptional 'pro-sumer' gear for the espresso enthusiast and coffeeGeek is in the works.

Roaster's Choice 062007 Ethiopian Yirgacheffe - Kochere District

John says--

This is one of the most remarkable Ethiopians I have tasted.


Aromatics are sweet jasmine and honeysuckle with lime and other citrus notes in the cup. A hint of 'all-world' spice flavors continue to linger in the aftertaste. A cuppers dream.

New Coffee Arrivals!

Four wonderful selections of coffee beans have arrived with more to come as the latest harvests are shipped. We have a new crop of the Screen Dried Brazil Moreninha Formosa, an extremely vibrant Ethiopia Yirgacheffe from the Kochere District, a remarkable Kenyan AA Muranga Kariani that boasts berry and black currant notes, as well as a soothing and flavorful Bolivian Caranavi from the award winning Ceneproc Co-op.

This Bolivian coffee is from the award winning Ceneproc Co-op, which won the #1 spot in the Bolivian coffee competition from 2003-2005, and has consistently remained within the top 10.



This coffee cups wonderfully, with flavors of vanilla, hazelnut, and sweet red apple nestled on a bed of soft chocolate. Yum.

Record Setting Best of Panama!!!

Pamama Esmeralda has taken first place in every Best of Panama competition it has been in, and once again, this year is no different. Last years crop commanded $53 per pound green; this years first place offering went for $130 per pound. Yes One-Hundred-and- Thirty Dollars per pound green!



Is this coffee worth it? In a word, yes.

You can see the final auction results here.

While there is a huge gap between this coffee and the others in the competition, the limited offering (just 500 pounds) and the brilliance in the cup created fierce competition for this remarkable coffee. We will all wait with giddy anticipation to see what the auction winners have planned for this years Panama Esmeralda.

Roaster's Choice 052807 Organic Ethiopian Sidamo

This Organic Ethiopian is a Dry Processed coffee which produces a deeper fruit note than the Wet Processed Sidamo. This coffee is also Fair Trade. In the cup it is rustic fruit notes, spice and pulped apricot. This coffee was roasted on May 28th and is ready to use on May 30th. We recommend using it for about 10 days or so for best flavor and aroma. This roast will be available until June 4th or prior to that when it's sold out.

Come try some!

The power went out around 9:30 a.m. yesterday and didn't come back until after 9 p.m. We had to close and today when we arrived at the caffe there was a flood... the safety feature on the espresso machine had reset itself and continued filling up water while we were gone.

We're dumping out stuff and cleaning. We will be OPEN for our regular hours Monday.

New Roast to Order Coffees

John says--

We have four new green coffees in available for Roast to Order. We have a fantastic screen-dried Organic Ethiopian Idido Misty Valley. This coffee is perhaps the most astounding Ethiopian coffee in recent years.

We also have a smooth, bold, and fruity Kenyan AA, and a Uganda Bugisu that has its resplendant mouthfeel and heavy organic fruit notes.

Finally, we have added an estate grown Honduras Pacarama, and the cultivar in this coffee makes it shine with smooth nutty and cinnamon spice cup.

Please check out all of our coffee offerings on the left side of the page. :)

Sweet and sublime

John says --

Our current press-pot offering is Costa Rica
--La Magnolia *Reserve*

This is a special selection that is sweet elegance in the cup. It smells of early Spring flowers with a touch of light citrus. In the cup it has a tangerine *zing* with a sprinkling of orange zest and a sweet/clean finish. This coffee would pair well with light Japanese fare containing a sweet and light ponzu.

Because the number of passes are very limited, you MUST email us to reserve a pass and come pick it up at the caffe. Passes will be released on a first-come, first-serve basis. Limist one (admit 2).

funky cup

Yiching says--

We've noticed that some of our 24oz iced drink cups are mangled. The body of the cups are twisted or bent, and this usually happens to the cups at the end of the sleeves. There hasn't been that many of them, but every time I see one I laugh and use it any way.

I haven't been sealing these cups because they usually fit in the sealer machine funny, but today I finally gave it a try and guess what, the seals still fit on the cup perfectly!

Oh, and I had the Yogurt flavored bubble tea with chewy pearls in this cup by the way, and it was still really yummy in the funky cup.
