Well i am opening a new coffee shop in Lebanon and will be an italian coffee with my own design to match the market, elegant, unique and italian. Any help in drinks, new ones and posters will help, we will be doing regular drinks looking for something fancy with less work. Also looking for a supplier to supply the base of all blended drinks, as Vanilla base and for sure we add the sauces to it in the blenders.
Thanks all in advance

Hi, Came across this article and thought others might find it interesting. Amazing what some people will do in the name of coffee.

Happy Trimethylxanthine!
A property of coffee that nourishes the mind, soothes the body, and awakens the heart. Tri it! :-)
Celebrate the American Coffee Revolutuon by remembering the Boston Tea Party, 1773. Just think, we could have remained a tea drinking nation if not for this historical rebellion.

Greetings from the rocky mountains!
If anyone has coffee recipe videos, preferrably hosted by a chef, and would like a little extra publicity, let me know! The only requirement is must not be youtube!
Have a great weekend.

Yeah Bryan glad you mentioned knocking the portafilter... I still see seasoned guys do this, so I guess some old habits never die. I simply don't see the point, but will say that the guys I see doing it use a wooden handled tamper, so that is better…
The shot was about 25 seconds, looked to be a 16gr. or so dose in a ridged Marzocco 14 gr. basket. 1.75 oz.
When there's less amounts of crema, i perceive shots as being "hotter". Because in the same fluid volume, there's more... um, fluid. The sho…
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's all washed as well... if it's the flagship I think it is. Well, there goes my theory, haha.

5 bean blend. All washed to the best of my knowledge, but they're secretive so i can't be sure.
Just curiious, was the shot bitter, sour, flat, acrid, astringent or just boring and blah. I'm still amazed sometimes how as little as a gram or less dose difference pulled the same time same temp can make a world of difference. Then there's the tim…
The alternative... is called The Cayman Islands and I assure you... it's not worse :) To chime in, we don't have a minimum wage law but generally we start people between $7.95 and $8.95... keeping in mind... we have no income or state taxes... so th…
Dry processed?

Yeah... we stopped roasting beans months ago... just wasn't crucial anymore and WAAY better than 'white espresso'. :0) We are considering not even putting coffee in the cups, just serving paper cups with water in them and seeing if the customers not…
I had an experience yesterday that reminded me of this thread.
Went to a locally known indie shop serving the same coffee that i use on slightly better equipment than i have. (their Linea has flow restriction, mine doesn't. they have a Robur, i hav…
How recently have you had a shot that wasn't leveled, distributed, or... tamped?
There's a very strange curve in learning this (or any i assume) craft. You start out knowing nothing, you learn to do lots of stuff, then you eliminate everything that…
As I know it, the theory on the curve is that it focuses the pressure more towards the middle in order to help prevent side channeling. I know that personally I prefer a slight curve to my tamper and I find that I get the most even extraction rates…
Hello, the arabica my company is growing, grows in the shades of trees. Also it's growing at a height of +1200mtrs, that's probably why your's isn't growing well. I don't know if you make coffee, but you can use the pucks as fertilizer, actually any…
Thanks for your clarity and opinion. I removed the nay-sayer stuff as you are correct, the focus of this blog is squarely on Clancy. I do disagree on your last point (but will save those comments for another blog). I think that if someone claims to…
