On The Walls: Kristin Calhoun

We are happy to feature KC metro native and current Ohio resident, Kristin Calhoun on our walls for the near future. Her mix of embroidered line drawings and linoleum block prints feel right at home in our space.

You can learn more about Kristin and her work by visiting Spinning Spokes.

Here are some poorly taken images of her work from a smart phone. You can always see them in their full awesomeness at the shop.  Continue reading “On The Walls: Kristin Calhoun” »

New coffees make recommendations difficult

We just added four new coffees to the shelf this week, and it is putting our suggestion skills to the test. We love our current lineup so much that it is hard not to suggest that folks get “one of everything.” We were already quite pleased with heavy hitters like our juicy Ethiopia Harrar, sweet Fleming 3 Espresso, smooth Silhouette Series #1, and earthy India Mysore Nuggets.

Now, in walks four new players that give us the most exciting shelf we have had, yet. It is even hard to decide what to drink while working. It is a good thing that we offer Solos.

Here’s a quick overview of our newest coffees:

Costa Rica Tarrazu Hacienda La Minita – This is a very special offering purchased directly from the world renowned farm of Hacienda La Minita. It is extremely well-balanced, sweet and tasty in the finish. A perfect gift for anyone who likes coffee.

Brazil Bahia Fully-Washed – A super Santos that is milled under the supervision of Hacienda La Minita. An excellent opportunity to try a Brazil that is washed, instead of the more common natural method.
Guatemala Antigua La Flor – This is a classic Antigua makes us rub our hands together in anticipation. It has great body and gets the La Minita seal of approval.

Sumatra Lintong Popa Damos - Another coffee we have purchased from a relative of the farmers. We are Sumatra fans and this is certainly a hit around the shop.

Okay, we want to mention this Ethiopia Harrar one more time.This Harrar is probably the best non-microlot that we have ever served here. Super juicey up front with a good body. Treat yourself with this one.

We have worked hard to continue improving the quality of coffees we have been sources and can’t wait to share the results with you.

Calling all Home Baristas, Fleming 3

Our newest espresso blend, Fleming 3, has been specifically designed to give you an outstanding espresso experience using the common tools of a home barista.

We believe that awesome coffee experiences arrive when these three things are aligned:

  • the natural characteristics of the coffee
  • the roasting and blending technique,
  • and the method of brewing.

In the same way that a French press highlights the body of a Sumatra and a pourover accentuates the brighter notes of an Ethiopia, Fleming 3 is meant to shine in the home espresso environment. Continue reading “Calling all Home Baristas, Fleming 3” »
