Angry Catfish in full swing!

We have been open for two weeks now here at Angry Catfish Bicycles and Coffee. I am thrilled to say that we have gotten a great response from the community on what we are trying to do with coffee.

People are eager to learn and are excited to have us here. We are offering mostly classic drinks with no flavor shots and traditional sizes. Any time you try to do something new and a city is not used to it, it is scary. Every time I have been asked for… Continue

News - Technology ...Costa Rican engineers find solution to brewing coffee in space

Costa Rican engineers find solution to brewing coffee in space

Dec 8, 2008 - Two Costa Rican engineering students have a developed a coffee brewing device that can be used in space. So what's the problem you ask? Well apparently since space in confined to a vacuum -(and thus, lacks atmospheric pressure) any heat applied to water causes it to evaporate immediately. Thus making it impossible to brew a cup of coffee under normal conditions. Now for some physics: in order for water to… Continue

How to choose a good coffee machine supplier

Past articles have looked at the importance of selecting the best coffee machine for your specific requirements, but how do you select the best supplier? How do you ensure you'll get value? After all, value is about more than just price and you may already have shopped around, so how do you evaluate the other elements that add up to the value you are prepared to pay for?. For example, besides getting the best machine, you'll also need quality advice and pre- and post sale service. So here…

The Great Good Place - Part 2

My continued thoughts on Ray Oldenburg's "The Great Good Place:

Ray highlights the need for the Third Place to be a neutral ground, "where individuals may come and go as they please, in which none are required to play host, and in which all feel at home and comfortable."

Of course, this is in stark contrast to the home (First Place) and work (Second Place) that cannot be neutral to various friends from different houses/workplaces. I spent a while thinking about how… Continue

New S.O. from Honduras

From our friends at Atlas comes this lovely Honduras COE competitor, farmed by Orlando Portillo.

Acid-7

Body- 5

Texture- honey, white wine, a little fluffy powder'd sugar

Flavor- Out of the bag smells of raspberries still on the vine. Ground brings out a peach tropical acid, honey sweetness and hints of cinnamon. Very clean aroma. When wet a white wine grape emerges, the honey remains and cayenne pepper replaces the cinnamon. Still very clean on the fragrance. In the… Continue

Finding God in espresso

Recently I was on a retreat and Fr. Bernie, who was leading it, challenged us to imagine what God tastes like. I was surprised to find that God tastes like espresso. I am still thinking through the implications of this.

The flavor profile I look for in a shot of espresso is one that rumbles and grabs my tongue. It has a boldness and a clean finish with a fine aftertaste. It seems I want that particular profile because it reminds me of how I experience God. I find I look for similar… Continue
