Rain + aluminum roof is scary

Where we roast these days has an aluminum roof, and it is currently POURING OUTSIDE! It is deafeningly loud in here, and I have to leave it to get more beans to weigh....not a huge highlight for me. On the plus side, I am not wet...just yet.

Happy Monday Everyone!

It is a new week, and much work needs done! This week you should expect to see the start of a series of videos on espresso, as per request of several of our customers. Since so many videos exist on the net of people pulling shots, we did not want to do a video in that manner. Instead, we are doing a miniseries on espresso where we briefly discuss the beans and machines separately. We will also go over some tech details in the series and even pull some shots with coffees that are not our own (I will warn you, its cheap coffee and it tasted awful but it will prove a point!).

On top of that, our new coffee lot arrives this week from the Dominican Republic! I highly encourage EVERYONE to try out this coffee.

Our new bags are due in today as well, I posted up a sample pic on the Facebook Page of them.

In other silly, fun news, if you google us we are now in the top 6 search results! In closing, I will leave you with a shot of our new espresso machine up and running when we did tests on it.






Take care everyone!

Kenya, (itll make you as fast as Kenyans!)

Just got a chance to cup our new lot of Kenya this morning, and wow. Worth every penny I paid to grab this micro lot. If you have never had the chance to try a good quality Kenyan coffee before, now is the time. Take advantage of the free shipping, or whatever old coupon you may have laying around and try this stuff out!

Another day and more to do..

Just got back from an evening in Greenville. We are trying to get people to visit the Irish festival happening next Sunday in Greenville, "Returnto the Green". On the ride back to Boiling Springs we started going through the list of things that need to be done before we go to "Return to the Green". Man, this is going into the crunch time, but this is going to be great! We plan on offering several of our coffees and blends. On top of that we will also be offering brewed coffee as well as the seasonal treat of our Irish coffee. Make sure you visit us to get a lift and revitalization to keep enjoying the festival event. A visit will be well worth the time. See you there!
