Try a Blend 1: Breakfast without Body

So this is a fun post blend for you all to try, it tastes similar to a breakfast blend of many other roasters.

75% Costa Rica Tarrazu Full City
25% Guatemalan Antigua City+

Love this blend, and figured I would pass it along to others! For a bit more body, add some Colombian Supremo or a nuttier Brazilian.

Upstate Steampunk Extravaganza

On November 20th a Steampunk Extravaganza was hosted at the Marriot Greenville. There was dueling, dancing, classes, and shopping along with many other events. There were quite a few vendors there selling anywhere from books to weapons to clothing to coffee.

Yes, that's right, Old Wwworld Cafe set up shop for the day serving french press micro lots and grog. We also brought along our siphon pot for fun and samples.

The top item of the day was definitely the coffee grog. It's rich cream and spice kept everyone fueled all day long!



But it wasn't the only thing that caught people's attention. The siphon pot was a must see. We brewed several pots throughout the day and each time drew a crowd. Not only was everyone fascinated with how it worked, they also loved the clean, sweet cup it produced.

Exploring, having fun, and learning wasn't all the extravaganza was about. It was also about showing off your steampunk style(s). Almost everyone showed up in a costume of sorts, and several people actually changed through out the day.

Awesome old timey camera.

Steampunk fest

So this past weekend we worked a steampunk fest in the upstate area. Stay tuned for a short write up and some wonderful pics!

Dark and Buttery

So tonight we roasted our French Noir blend, and I decided to take a handful out of the cooling tray and put it into a strainer with butter. This rather unorthodox cooling blend combo is not for sale mind you, but I had heard about it at Coffeefest and wanted a taste.

The result? A very, very smooth and clean dark coffee... definitely worth trying at least once, so take your darkest roast and butter away!
