cool air


It's raining tonight, and it's kinda lovely. With wet pants I leave the bike @ the door, and prepare to work on some Rue Royale CD artwork. It will be done by this weekend. The album will be out shortly. They will be back in KC in May.

We obtained a bike carrier/trailer from some good friends recently. Our daughter digs it, but I hear more cackling from the coffee I have been carting around. I guess they don't get to see much of the environment they arrive in. From the farm to the bag to the ship to the warehouse to the truck to the roaster to the cup to your gullet to the sewer they go. They now enjoy jaunts through Midtown as an added step in the process.

New Costa Rican micro-milled coffee coming for tomorrow's home delivery. San Marcos farm from Tarrazu. It's a citrusy-sweet, bodylicious cup for your pleasure. There's still time to get it on it here.

Cheers

spackon!


Home coffee delivery took a bit of a break over the past few months. The need is felt for speed and the beard desires to be windswept, and later frozen.

This week, the featured coffee is a luscious & fruity dry(natural) process Ethiopian Jimma. We bought very little of it, and it's most definitely coffee worthy of you coffee freaks.

Just hit up our site to have some on your doorstep. 12 oz bag or 1/4 oz moonshine jars available.

We will deliver from the River Market to Brookside. If there are piranhas or other obstacles in the way of the coffee & your joy, please include in the paypal invoice, or sent an email to us @ oddlycorrect@gmail.com

runnin'













Last week, the KC marathon cruised by the shop. I was not able to accommodate onlookers caffeine needs that day. I fear for the Seinfeld effect of watching a foot race with hot coffee in hand. Maybe next year we will be ready. All the runners can sign a waiver.

Anyhow, the progress is visible @ the shop now. We are picking up a couple sinks today that will allow us to be inspection-ready very soon.

Happy Saturday to you all.

life on main


With no wifi @ the shop yet, broadcasting has proved challenging. Here's a fast update.

The roaster is in & production is rolling. Tim Burton inspired smokestack & cooling in effect.

The whole space is designed to be modular, as we are printing, roasting, tasting, brewing & making music in there. We have rolling dividers, & the bar will be modular as well, functioning as a whole bean counter, cupping table & a surface to sit on when the need permits.

We are very happy to be @ 3934 Main, and look forward to opening our doors officially in early December. That's the plan.

Thanks for the love...

One last push of heavy lifting























We extracted the Joper roaster & the little guy from the Threehouse studio location last night. This time, we did not have to haul it up the stairs, but it was pouring rain. I don't like to make anything too easy. In climbing, Sarah & I would always say, anything that is harder than it needs to be gets chalked up to training. So, training it was...

We loaded the gear in to a trailer & headed on to Midtown. I wisely rode in the back with the equipment to see it through a tough transition. Coffee roasters are sensitive. (see ultrasound photo) I stared @ the increasingly humanoid face of the roaster as streetlights brightened and faded, and every bump sounded like the bottom of the trailer was going to give way. I have this picture in my head of myself careening away, clutching on to the roaster with a stream of sparks arching behind us.

It didn't happen. The roaster is now in-house. Stack is almost up. Should be operational within 24 hours. Yahoo.
