Welcome our new El Salvador La Esperanza and say goodbye to our Guatemala San Diego. We hate to see it go. At the bar it is off menu, but we still have a little left, so come in and ask for it before it's all gone

Summer means iced coffee...

Just a reminder, we will be closed Christmas Day, but we will be open at normal hours all other days. 

Happy Holidays, everyone and brew well,

Let's Talk Robusta: Myths, Traps and Truths

Davids considers a myth to be an unconscious “truth” that rests on assumptions that are mostly unexamined and often deliberately constructed.  He sees mythmaking as an essential part of branding. And he suggests that as specialty coffee’s intellectual authors began building the specialty brand decades ago, Robusta was a perfect “sensory bogeyman”—a useful foil for roasters trying to distance themselves from the pack with promises of 100% Arabica coffee. Unfortunately for its growers and advocates, Robusta remains trapped today by the power of that myth.

Great article to think about. Always love when previously-held views are examined.
