What I’m not attempting to do It’s not entirely clear where the right place is to begin when discussing the coffee cupping event I attended last Saturday. I’d like not to spend time discussing the pros and cons of coffee cupping as either a brew method, tasting technique or public relations tool. I’d also not like to [...] Beans: Scarlet City Coffees I first encountered Scarlet City Coffee Roasters in what amounted to something of a pop-up appearance for Blackbird Cafe when they set up shop for all of two weekends at the Grand Lake Farmer’s Market.

I’ve been watching the US Regional Barista Competitions, which the brilliant organizers (unlike the organizers of the Oscars) have figured out how to live stream to the [...] Beans: Calabria Espresso Blend and Guatemala I picked up these two coffees in the back-of-the-store bean purchasing center of Cafe Calabria. The Calabria Espresso blend seemed a no-brainer. I liked my shot in the cafe and wanted to see how it might fare on my equipment at home.

Just when I finally managed to visit the Oakland roasting facility coffee bar, James Freeman went and opened a new roasting facility and coffee bar in New [...] |
