Our Frick Building/Downtown customers have indicated that they would like a choice of coffees made fresh to order like our Clover Brew Bar menu in the Strip. No Clovers downtown, but beginning tomorrow 5/8/08 we’ll offer press pot (french press) coffee made to order at the Frick Building Coffee Bar. Here are the ground rules:
-Coffees take approximately 5 minutes to prepare (4 minute brewing time plus prep time)
-We are using one size (16oz) press for simplicity and repeatability
-The price will be the same as our current medium (16oz) coffee of the day price - $2.05
At some point in the future, we may offer a smaller size and the price per coffee type may vary based upon the recipes we develop. Initially we’ll be using the same amount of coffee for each press, regardless of which coffee we use.
Congratulations to Kyle Glanville of Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea - Los Angeles, this years U.S. Barista Champion. Kyle is one of the people in the coffee business that we admire for the way that he represents himself, his company, and the wonderful coffees they source and deliver to us every week.
We’ve been open for over two years now(!), have sold a lot of drinks & coffee/tea related stuff, but until today we haven’t had any logo merchandise of our own for sale at the shop.
Not anymore- today we’re proud to offer these friggin’ SWEET logo tees by American Apparel!
These are limited edition shirts, so show your support for your favorite shop and pick up one two several today. The shirts are great quality, comfortable, and let’s be serious here- who doesn’t look sharp in baby blue? They even match the retro jerseys the Penguins wore in this year’s Winter Classic.
DJ picked up a pound of Biloya from Counter Culture so it’s in the hopper today as a guest espresso. From CC’s tasting notes:
Deep, profoundly sweet notes of blueberry, raspberry, chocolate, and spice highlight this unique single-origin espresso from Biloya. Try 18.5 grams at 200 degrees for a perfect balance of dark chocolate and fruit.
And yes, we’re brewing it at 200 degrees and 18′ish grams. Delicious.
Frick Building customers- not satisfied with the “House Blend” or the “Coffee of the Day?” Were we sold out by the time you had a chance to make it down to the coffee bar? Soon we’ll be adding a “fresh by the cup” program to give you more brewed coffee choices. You’ll be able to have your favorite coffee made to order any time of the day. No, we didn’t buy another Clover. Hang in there as we work out a few details… the place is tiny and every little change needs time to be implemented.
