Strapped in

Happy Monday to you. We had a good one on this end. Brother Mike helped out around the shop today, and cranked out some coffee. He even did dishes after cursing at me & gesticulating with various hand & finger positions. Thanks Mike.

This week we will be featuring three coffees, one from Sulawesi, one from Huila, Colombia & one from Sumatra. Funky & pungent sweetness for two of them, clean and crisp on the other. They will be available in 12oz bags for home ingestion, or available by the cup in a variety of means @ the shop on Main St. We'll be there from 7-1.

What else? We are making plans, and getting ready for products to carry in house. It will be a leisurely process, but we know you will like it. Maybe we will get a sign on the building soon too. Naw, that's crazy talk...

Things are coming together

So, we have some high-dollar signage happening, that is sure to catch the eye of... passing lumberjacks. You know they cannot resist a good looking stump.

We are having a good time having the doors open on Main St. We enjoy being able to craft the means to communicate what we do & why we do it as we craft cups of coffee for you. Images should reflect that notion.

We are going to be pouring some coffee next week, Wednesday the 29th @ Fidel's Cigar Shop on Pennsylvania in Westport. 5-10, there will be music, food, live-cigar rolling, & other shenanigans(I do not use that word lightly). The link is here. Should be interesting...

Also happening soon, is our participation in the Westport Farmer's Market on Wednesdays. We will be serving some toddy, and whole-bean coffee.

If we don't see you at the events above, knock on the glass, or walk right in to the doorway of 3934 Main St. We are open Tuesday thru Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for your coffee pleasure.

Impending Ric Rac Roundup

It's that time of year again... July 23rd is bring the Ric Rac Roundup into being once again. It's a day of freaky folks hanging out, with whom we resonate so well. We love getting to be part of it, and love what Betsy & Emily bring to the neighborhood. Come & check out some stuff your soul may require:examples of folks displaying the fruit of the things that make them tick.

We hope to see you there. we will be peddling toddy, whole-bean coffee & some other bits & bobs.

Cheers,

hi

Wow, it's been a busy little while. Where to begin? Dunno.

Well, we are officially open, for starters!! I hear applause somewhere in my skull. The many voices convene to celebrate coffee in my cranium.

The former semi-delusional comment leads me to our current celebration(& reason for semi-delusional language). 3 days after the shop opens, my wife gave birth to a young man named, Oscar! All are well. She is amazing. We are a bit sleep-deprived, she more than I of course. But, we(the other three in our house) are joyful, and excited to show him around the country.

Back to the shop; it's bare-bones, kept simple. One can find whole-bean coffee for sale there, clad with in-house letterpressed packaging. One can find a man behind a counter, excited to pour you a cup of coffee - 12 oz cups to go. We are brewing with chemex & pourover cone methods currently. One will find this @ 3934 Main St. KCMO. Parking is Midtown style street side, or behind the building off Westport Rd. Bikes welcome. Bike rack coming soon. For now, wheel it in, or hitch it to the sturdy light post in front of the shop. Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Many changes and augmentations are coming, but for now, we are very happy to be gritty people, peddling delicious coffees out of a tall and gritty space. We would not have it any other way. Maybe we would have a sign that says what we are, but, meh - all things in time...

Clips of Faith!!!

Hey friends,

I would not be a friend if I did not remind you of one of the finest events of the year in KCMO. Tomorrow night, the 26th of May, New Belgium is bringing their traveling film festival to town.

Last year, the weather was perfect, the vibe was great, & the beer was tasty. It's a fun time of being part of a swath of like-minded folks out there to celebrate beer culture, and to share the potential exotic of everyday life. Click here for some of last years examples of cultural goodness.

New Belgium is a huge influence on us in terms of company culture. We love the way they think.

Hope to see you there. I don't dress up for events, but if I did, this would be the one where I show up with a tall Dr. Suess hat on.

Cheers,

A month goes by...

Greetings Friends,

How's it going? We are having a good time this Spring. Our lives outside of coffee have been wild. Me personally? My wife, Sarah, is going to be giving birth to another coffee baby in late June. We moved into an amazing old house on Virginia Ave., in the Squier Park neighborhood of KCMO. It's been busy, and we are always trying to peel back our eyelids to stay present in lives that seem to be cruising by at blinding speeds.

On the coffee front, we have some exciting coffees in house. We have 2 different lots of Burundi. Both have citrus & earth tones, but both have different cup characteristics. We just got a microlot in from Huila, Colombia -wild & sweet flavors happening in there. Look for those to be on our shelf & in your cup when we open here shortly.

Also, our countertops are in!! Our talented friend, Danny, came through with an absolutely beautiful specimen of wood color, texture & construction. Thanks Danny.

Cheers,

coffee smatterings

Things are happening around the Oddly Correct coffee roasting shack. Briscoe Panels are up, as the photos depict. I am really happy with them. I look forward to spending some more time diving in to the curious matter that inhabits the oh-so-classy plywood and paint.

We have been enjoying the weather shift, as I am certain the rest of you have as well. Euphoric feelings of wind on the face that do not threaten the longevity of one's features on one's face are one of the little benefits of this weather.

We scored a sweet drying rack for our printed 12 oz coffee bags. It is a salvaged bed spring from a crib that had out-lived its frame's stability. Works for us, thanks, Lee.

I have also enjoyed the sensation of pushing a load of coffee in shopping cart recently. It's not so high on the list as finding an arrowhead, or seeing a live armadillo up close in nature(both of which happened recently), but it's still satisfying.

Other than that, stay tuned. Burundi coffee coming soon for real.
