update

The space is coming along.  Some sweat, cleaning efforts and a lot of roasting has characterized the past couple months.  Oh, and joy - let me not forget to record that quality.  

Until we commit to build out the whole space, we are laying down some rugs over the well worn and stained tile floor.  We are about 8 rugs and 8 curtains from being finished.  

As for the coffee, the season is changing, and bringing with it some great stuff.  I cupped an FTO Guatemala last week that tasted as if it was an African.  So, we will definitely be getting some of that.  As well as some tangy Tanzanian, we will be getting a beautiful auction lot of Kenya AA.  

Exciting...  Thanks for your support.  

sack of rest

man, no complaints about the daily opportunity to roast amazing coffees for freaks like you.  Tomorrow begins the build out of the new space.  Can't wait to show y'all.  

cheers,

little gem

one more note about the new roasting space: waiting in the dormant room upon our arrival was this little beauty.  

the property owner passed it on to us as a gift.  

we will give it much love...

new space coming up

Today, we are getting the keys for our new spot here in midtown KC.  It's about 3 blocks from our home, and therefore, my coffee still may  be too hot to drink by the time I get to the shop.  

It's a century old, renovated (in the 50's) space.  It's going to take a lot of work to get it beautiful to other beholder's eyes, but to us-it's lovely.

Sumatra Harimau Tiger

Just got a nice Sumatra up on the site.  Working in a bit of a wilderness for a couple years, I missed the amazing-ness that can and should be a Sumatran profile.  This is a good break in to what this coffee can be.  

It's fruity & funky, with a near floral finish.  It's roasted to almost 2nd crack, (making me mourn now for all the years I torched this origin in past jobs) leaving all the goodness intact and in your cup.  

That is all...

Kitchen Letterpress

The short story of how this C&P Pilot got in my kitchen is the stuff dreams are made out of.  I was searching for this very model in KC, and found one for 3 or 4 grand.  I can't remember which price it was, but they were both out of my price range.  2 days after I declined dropping that kind of cash, my father calls me from a basement of an antique store in Moline, IL.  Same press I was looking for with 3 boxes of incredibly useful stuff for about $120.  Sold.  

So now this press is in our kitchen, and soon to be put to use in the shop.  Said boxes of useful stuff include tons of spacers, furniture and blocks with vikings, stars, cans of apricots and more.  Yahoo.  

Great find, Dad.  Thanks for your zeal.  This might be a good racket for you.  

Up and Running

Oddly Correct is up and running.  We have a couple of coffees we are dialing in.  We are looking to bring in a third coffee to add to create a bitchin' blend.  That's just how we feel, y'all...

Check out www.oddlycorrect.com   We have the site in bare bones form, and will be adding content in the next few moments of time.  Bottom left is a tiny little "order here" button.  Press it for some "coffee love", as a good friend calls it.  

we love you all.
