Espresso or Expresso?

Ok, we get this question all the time...first of all, you shouldn't be anywhere that you have to ask for an espresso or Expresso, you should have ordered it from us, and have it pressed in the luxury of your own home! But let's say you were put in a position of no other choice, needing to order...you should ALWAYS ask for an ESPRESSO. Some quick facts: Espresso is not a type of bean, blend or roast type, instead it is simply another method of brewing coffee. It is produced by pushing hot water at high pressures, through a bed of finely ground, compacted coffee, topped with a dark golden cream, called crema (when brewed properly). The crema is one of the visual indicators of a quality shot of espresso!

To freeze or not to freeze?

How and why someone ever suggested to freeze or refrigerate coffee is beyond me! If our freshly roasted coffee is in your fridge...go home and take it out! In our opinion, the condensation ruins the flavor and aroma, leaving you with 'flat' cup by the time you get to brew your last pot.

The best place for your opened coffee is in an airtight glass canister. You can purchase these just about anywhere- we like the glass canisters with the little snappy-thingy on the side to ensure it being air tight. If you purchase several bags, and won't get to it for a while, keep it sealed in our bags--good for 3 months.

Welcome ALL!

Hey there coffee snobs! so what do you think about the new look?
