It’s the big secret that we haven’t tried to keep. This month, we’ll launch our second Experience located at 23rd St. and 291 Highway in Independence. Not only are we looking forward to serving fresh-roasted coffee to our friends and neighbors in northeast Jackson County, but we are also anticipating the opportunity to join the ranks of shops that are raising the quality of drive-thru coffee.
Wait! Did we just say drive-thru? You bet. Benetti’s on 23rd St. will feature a drive-thru window and a walk up or “Slow-Thru” window with a patio. There’s no inside seating. We can almost hear our fellow coffee snobs gasping at the
mention of a drive-thru. However, we are going to be committed to the same quality and using the same traditional methods that we use in our cafe. It certainly will not be the fastest drive-thru in town, but the taste will be worth the wait. Whether through a window or across the counter, we want you to love the coffee that we
love to make. Continue reading “Independence, here we come: Benetti’s on 23rd St.” »
Benetti’s was recently featured on the popular coffee blog and review site, Coffee Cup News. Jason Coffee produced a wonderful series of videos, including this interview with Ben where they talk coffee, community and meeting people where they are in their coffee journey. Be sure to follow the links at the end of the video to learn more about our roasting philosophy and meet some of the baristas.
Kiersten loves coffee. She loves people and has a strong connection with Benetti’s customers. She has a mind for both creation and production. So, why wouldn’t we pick Kiersten as roasting apprentice? At the beginning of March, Kiersten joined the roasting team and will be under Michael’s tutelage to learn about our roasting philosophy, production processes and beard grooming… less of the latter.
Over the past five years, we’ve enjoyed serving several customers who also roast coffee at home. With that in mind, here are two happenings to engage our friends who are roasting their own coffee and maybe introduce some new folks to the pursuit.
Grab-And-Go Green
You will now find a rotating selection of green offerings right on our retail shelf for you to take home and toast. It’s kind of like take-and-bake, but much tastier, right? Each origin comes with a good amount of information, and a starter roasting record card. These packs are portioned and priced by the pound, but if you are interested in a five-pound bag, we can talk turkey. This stuff is priced right and it is convenient.
Home Roasters’ Roundup
At the request of a few home-roasting friends, we are going to host periodic events to facilitate conversations and learning amongst home roasters. Our next event is at 3 p.m., Saturday, February 11 at our roasting facility. A special guest will be Jeremy Ferguson from Hacienda La Minita. Check this Facebook event or call us at 816-516-0893 for all the details.
