cameraless

Winter presses on in KCMO. Our new shop has heat, so it's not so bad. Our roasting and printing space share real estate and oxygen with some other folks. There's been some adjusting for all of us. Being the weirdos we are, we are getting used to other human beings being in close proximity to us. The other humans are getting used to our noise and smells, and the smoke that accompanies really any issue that occurs with coffee roasting equipment. When something goes awry, depending on the stage of roast, stopping the smoke is like stopping effects of gravity. Computers and paper don't send you home smelling like the same. Coffee roasting, however, even on its best days-blesses all with the pleasant funk of second hand sugar caramelizing and hydro carbon production.













We have also laid to rest our second nikon point and shoot camera. Now, a verizon phone camera is the means of communicating to the world, the visual fantastickery that surrounds us on a daily basis. As we save for an upgrade, we will make the most of what we have.

Cupping with the Filling Station


Some of the crew of the Filling Station came by today for a groundwork-laying cupping. everyone got dialed in deeper to the various general character of the various growing regions on the table. We will explore variety in preps shortly, and get as freaky as they are willing to get with wherever their collective coffee desires take them.

I love seeing people hovering together over coffees, spouting ideas & perceptions simultaneously. Learning to slurp & spit is a great way to bring a team nearer to each other. Now, I shall relish lugging the milk can serving as a spittoon and chaff collector to the garden for composting.

Inspiration ho.

back @ it

It's been a while since our last post.  Much has happened.  We have moved to a location in the Westside/Crossroads district of KCMO.  Oddly Correct has joined spaces with Threehouse Media, which is an illustration/animation studio headed up by Jeremy Collins.  

Our plans include, gallery space, cupping bar, full scale creative freak outs & a climbing wall in house.  

Updates and pictures to follow.  

Cheers,

Orange Treble Espresso is here

In session now is our Orange Treble espresso blend. It's bright & tight with a citrusy finish. With milk or soy it brings out cocoa tones. We're pretty excited about it.

Coming soon will be a more body-rific blend. For now, enjoy the clarity of the high end. Website soon to be updated with the blend.

Happy Monday when it comes for you.

Facebooked


Well, we have bobbed up on the facebook as Oddly Correct. We would love to use it as another way to stay in touch with y'all. Say hello if you're in that virtual neck of the woods.

That's as close to tweetin' as we're going to get we think.
