Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

thirty-thirty Coffee Co. is obsessed with the pursuit of high quality coffee beverages, unprecedented presentation, knowledge, and passion along with a love for the local community, culture, and education.

We are located in Peoria's historic Anheuser-Busch/Kickapoo building downtown on the corner of Main and Glendale. Our beautiful brick building, with the original heart pine wood floors and exposed wood beams helps parallel our desire to serve coffee and espresso beverages in traditional styles with a focus on quality and attention to detail. Traditional just means we serve our drinks the way they were originally meant to be served and enjoyed...with a focus on quality rather than quantity. Therefore our largest size latte will be 12oz. our largest coffee size will be 16 oz., and our only cappuccino size will be 6oz. ( the way it was originally meant to be served) Not only does this enable us to enhance the quality and attention to detail for our customers but also provides us the ability to serve a more reasonably priced-high quality beverage. Every barista will have gone through intense training in order to provide the customer with a perfect product and coffee knowledge that is second to none in the area.

We will post a menu in the near future. We will also be serving high quality loose-leaf tea, fresh fruit smoothies, and have a variety of bottled drinks and juices.

Most all of our ingredients will be either made ourselves or come from local businesses. For example, our milk will be from Kilgus Farms outside of Fairbury, our chocolate sauce for our mochas and hot chocolate will be made ourselves, and we are even working on having our own bee hive to provide honey for our cafe miel.

All of our coffee will come from specific regions in the world from farmers and co-ops who are not only paid fairly but have a whole industry of coffee professionals working towards a better quality of life for them and their product.

We will provide Peoria with it's first ever taste of what is called "Origin Roasting". This is where each particular coffee is roasted specifically and carefully to bring out the flavor profiles desired by the farmer and region each come from. We don't use any computerized methods just our senses and knowledge of each particular coffee. It's truly an art and all of our roasting will be done on site inside the cafe. We will also be wholesaling to local cafes, restaurants, and businesses.

All of our coffees will be served fresh, from seed to cup, using unique hand crafted methods ranging from the standard drip method to pour-over's and french press, grinding the coffee just before serving to ensure absolute freshness.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Denver, Seattle, Portland, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Italy, Paris and that's all I can think of for now.
