On November 1st, 2006, we opened our second location in the historic Frick Building in downtown Pittsburgh! Here are some facts about our new location:
- The Frick Building Shop is open Monday through Friday, 7am through 4pm
- We offer espresso drinks, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, chai, steamers, and a fine selection of pastries
- Our shop is located in the first floor lobby of the Frick Building
- The Frick Building is located at 437 Grant Street, between Fifth and Forbes, across from the Allegheny County Courthouse
- At our downtown location we feature Pennsylvania’s first Synesso Cyncra Espresso machine!
- The Cyncra features an electronic temperature control that allows us to brew our espresso shots to within half a degree Fahrenheit of a predefined temperature. This ensures that we are able to consistently brew each shot of espresso at the ideal temperature for that particular blend and roast.
- The Cyncra also features a preinfusion setting that is used to swell the coffee puck evenly before the brew pressure is applied and create a more thorough extraction.
- The Cyncra is also one great looking machine!
