Part Two of the segment- Kyle shows us how to make some nice espresso on a home setup as well as a little syphon coffee demo. Good luck Kyle representing the USA at the World Barista Championships (he competed around 7am local time today in Copenhagen).
From BoingBoing… good find by a couple of our regulars- thanks to both Tristan and Michael, you were about 15 minutes apart in your emails.
Kyle and Deaton at the Intelligentsia Roasting Works give a nice walk through of the roasting process.
Starting today and for a limited time (we only have about 2lbs) we’ll be offering shots of Kyle Glanville’s USBC winning espresso- Finca Matalapa, courtesy of the Black Cat Project. This is the same lovely coffee we’ve been brewing on the Clover in the Strip, but with an espresso roast profile. This coffee took Intelli and Kyle to the top at the United States Barista Championships, and was only roasted on one day so you won’t be able to get it again this year. We’ve let it rest for one week and according to the brewing instructions they shipped with the coffee we’re ready to roll right now!
We’re only offering it as a double, and only as a straight shot, traditional cappuccino, cortado, or macchiato. It’s a super sweet fruit punch explosion, in my opinion… I’ve had two today.
This is long overdue but we’ve decided to free pour our macchiato’s from now on. Previously we were dolloping a tight little cappuccino-like foam on top of the espresso. We like this drink better- it’s cleaner, it looks better, and has a better mouthfeel. Smell you later, dollop!
