People often ask me why they tend to like naturals more than washed coffees or vice versa. Most people don't know the difference or what makes each style tend to lean one direction or the other. So when we started...

At the last specialty coffee convention in Portland, we walked wide-eyed into the Fiorenzato booth. Fiorenzato: the name itself makes you feel like you just walked onto the showroom floor of Ferrari. I'd never heard of them, even though they've been...

My cousins were in over Thanksgiving weekend and I was helping them shop for coffee beans. The one that stands out on the shelf is the coffee wrapped in pink, which must've scared the bejesus out of them. For the...

VARIETIES If you love coffee for its social aspect, this is the one for you. It’s a relationship coffee: one obtained through relationships and the perfect coffee to build them. When I first met the producer of...

There are a lot of ways to take your coffee. You know how I take mine. Most people prefer it light brown. But there is a small segment of the population that seems to just drink coffee to get jacked. These...

Coffees, like clothing styles, are constantly changing. That's one big difference between commercial coffee and specialty coffee. It's a seasonal crop, and while there are a few staples that never seem to go out of fashion, the majority of our offerings are...

I rarely refer to myself in that regard, but probably ever since I refused to serve some irritating drink or kicked someone out of the DoubleShot for being an asshole, they’ve said I’m passionate.
