2009 Midwest Regional Barista Competition

Friday, January 16th, 2009

baristaweb

It is competition season again! Rather, it has been since the end of the WBC (World Barista Competition) in Copenhagen last year. Also, just to be sure everyone that is interested has time to make plans, this years WBC will be held in conjunction with the 2009 SCAA’s annual conference in Atlanta, GA. Seattle 2005 was the last time the WBC was in the United States and I’m not sure its ever been this close to the St. Louis area. I, for one, am not going to miss the chance to meet some barista folk from around the globe. (more…)

Old Poagy Blend

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

“I may just be an Old Poagy…” – Direct quote, of a man that is/once was well known to the Edwardsville populous. The story isn’t too long, but is certainly entertaining. When you stop by our bakery, do ask for the details! 

On to the tasting notes-

    The aroma is nutty (think peanuts) and has very subtle berry notes, I detected blackberry in specific. The body is on the heavier side, dense in a very good way. Definitely an earthy, juicy lingering finish on the palate.  

I can taste this going well with a desert with some intense chocolate/fresh dark fruit/berry themes. Nothing too delicate! 

 

 

Up next is our new crop of Kenya AA. Stay tuned!

Black Dog Espresso – An old favorite.

Monday, July 21st, 2008

This blend has been offered for quite a while. It’s normally considered an espresso blend but using any other method of brewing will have equally pleasing results. Here are the tasting notes on its current reincarnation -

The aroma shows off its spicy and earthy appeal with a DARK chocolate complexity, a bit of pine, and smokiness very mildly reminiscent of a fine Islay scotch. This is another one of our fairly low acidity coffees. Big body and a balancing sweetness are very apparent in the long semi-dry finish.

On an cool morning after a late night, I’d crave this one! 

Drink up,

Alex

Papua New Guinea

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I’m sure some of you have noticed the new crop this year. Which means you’ve also found a new favorite I hope! 

So tasting notes go like this,

The grounds-

Dry- Slightly spicy. Nutmeg? Little bit of Cinnamon?

Wet- Tremendous floral attributes. Jasmine maybe? 

On the palate-

All kinds of milk chocolate here. I couldn’t stop thinking about how creamy this coffee was. Was like a great hot chocolate. 

The Aroma of the brewed coffee was surprisingly devoid of all that floral acidity… not a bad thing for this coffee. All those big, creamy bodied coffee lovers out there need to give this one a run. We’ve only got a few bags left! 

By the way- Every question mark is an invitation for your input!

New Espresso Machine

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Well, she already has nicknames like Sunkist, Pumpkin, Orange Sunshine, and The Lean Mean Tangerine Machine. That last one has a nice ring to it… Were geeks. And very proud of it! We have been waiting very patiently for our pal over at Riley’s Coffee and Fudge (Barry!) to give her the final bench test and got the call on Monday. We installed Sunkist on Tuesday afternoon and will be giving her a nice easy break in before our big saturday rush. Come in and introduce yourself. Pumpkin is a little shy now but she will come around quickly. She loves attention. Remember that. The Lean Mean Tangerine Machine is what we call a three group La Marzocco Linea which means that she is also a bit larger and more powerful than our last machine so she can handle just about any drink line, which is due to the larger boilers inside. 

 

When you get here treat yourself to some ‘Spro and make sure you say hi to the lovely lady in orange! 

See you soon
