We polished off the Vivace Dolce this morning- and now it’s time for the Victrola coffee.
Only half a pound in the hopper to start the day and we’ve got about 8 or so doubles left.

Tomorrow morning we’ll be brewing a couple of Ethiopian coffees from Victrola (a Yirgacheffe) and Caffe Vita (Koke) that I picked up in Seattle last week. We haven’t had an Ethiopian coffee on the menu in some time so it will probably go quickly.
BTW I can’t wait for Intelli’s new Yirgacheffe- it’s going to be the bomb.
Just got back from three days in Seattle- more on that another time…
Today and possibly tomorrow we’ll have shots of Stumptown’s Hairbender from our backup grinder. I picked it up personally this week at the Stumptown on 12th Ave. We only have about half a pound left as I had some this morning and spent some time dialing it in per their specs.
Once the Hairbender is sold out, we’ll be offering Dolce from Espresso Vivace (we have a pound). I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Schomer while in Seattle and it was one of the sweetest tasting shots I’ve EVER had.
Finally, we’ll be pulling shots of Victrola’s Streamline espresso (we have half a pound).
Since I paid retail for these… we’ll have to charge an extra $1.00 per drink. We’re only going to offer these as doubles and only for traditional cappuccino, cortado, etc (6oz or smaller drinks). Get it while it lasts.
Anjilanaka is back! This Direct Trade Organic Bolivia was one of the stars of our original brew bar menu when we debuted the Clover last summer. We’ll have it dialed in and ready to order tomorrow morning. Go to the “Menu” page to see the updated coffee list.
Tres Santos (Cauca region) is out of season, but a new crop of Huila’s Tres Santos will be here in a few months.
Decaf Sumatra is now out of season and sold out, so the Decaf Black Cat Blend will take its place as the “full bodied” decaf on our menu.
Kenya is now out of season and sold out… so sad… sniff sniff…
On the plus side, we have Intelligentsia’s new Spring Blend- Persephone and Alchemy. You can order it as Spring Blend if you prefer 
New Bolivia is coming soon!
