scene from around the shop

new Sidamos on the way soon. there are a couple more exciting things bobbing on the surface of this odd sea we're sailing. bouldering wall should be constructed and flailable in about 2 weeks. no reason not to get strong whilst the roaster heats and cools. Happy Monday to y'all...

I've been prioritizing various aspects of our business(next to coffee that is...) week by week. Cycling printmaking for marketing purposes and printmaking for future projects. Here's a couple for the latter.

Roving coffee ticos in the Midtown Kansas City tagging doors of coffee roasters! What gives? Have they no boundaries?

At least the coffee is amazing. We shall humor him for now...

By the way, fresh Cafetin de San Martin coffee straight off the boat coming our way next week. Can't wait.

Local Roasters Unite

Station Coffee in KCMO @ Westport Rd. & Southwest Trafficway is officially open and cranking. Naked portafilters, french press coffees & and maybe 3 bottles of syrup are in the entire establishment(NO WHIPPED CREAM!!! - so sorry...).

They are doing it right and are raising the bar for quality coffee in Kansas City proper. Local coffee roasters and bakers are featured there to keep the product fresh, and the competition friendly.

As we are aware, coffee shops should be places for the local community to unite. Here, it's local customers and local suppliers who weave through the rustic-modern interior, or wrap around the building for the drive thru. There's enough love to go around.

Inside the space there's a great vibe, and great people pulling shots. We are proud to be one of the featured local roasters there. Check out what's happening there if you happen through Kansas City. Try a shot of espresso, or some coffee black. It may change your life...

yip yip

we'll be hanging out with some other folks tomorrow in westport serving up hand made and local products. We'll have some Tanzanian Peaberry toddy-brewed (cold press), and some whole bean coffee for sale, as well as some cards on what nots.

If you are local, come on out and enjoy.

I can't get enough. What a library of piles of wood... I hope it inspires.
