Who got a Barazta Virtuoso? That’s right. Me. Finally a grinder that doesn’t burn off a ton of calories early in the morning. This is exciting. More on the grinder later. I expect to have a whole review up soon.
On tap
Intelligentsia Guatemala El Cuervo.
This is a great, solid Central American, one that's making me rethink my past preference Ethiopia. Smooth, silky body is great for sipping in Hydrogeology (or your class of choice). Milk chocolate and molasses.

Rogue XS 2007 Imperial Stout
This is a real beer. Maybe a super beer, as in a superhero. Huge dark, roasty malts make themselves apparent. It has an alcohol content greater than a lot of Rieslings (11% abv) but you can't tell until you stand up. Grab one of the trademark silkscreened 26 oz ceramic bottles at your local specialty beer merchant. Search hard, because in Canada, you need to know where to look. (Hint: in Vancouver try Brewery Creek on Main; in Calgary you might find it at Willow Park or Kensington Wine Market.)

Congrats on the grinder. By tomorrow afternoon, my Virtuoso will have traveled from Florida, to Washington, Vancouver, Anacortes, Seattle, and back to Florida. Never let me, or my French press, down. Looks good too.
Let me know how you like yours.
hey there. i’ve been working shifts at the wicked cafe with brad and arthur over the last while. i’ll be opening a coffee bar in eastern canada in the fall if everything goes well.
i’m in cowtown today the 22nd and if there’s any chance you read this and can call or hook up please do. i’m here on other business but i’d love to chat and get your perspective on what makes a good cafe….and buy you a coffee!
