In the Grinder - Our Daily Coffee Weblog

A few things to talk about today, so thought I'd do it all in one big, meaty blog.

First, thought I'd share with you a picture of the Cafe Imports booth at SCAA 2007 (taken by Zander). We featured some of our top coffees this year, brewed on the Clover brewer we just purchased. We are proud to say that we are the first 'Greenie' to purchase this machine and we are very excited to have it installed back in our lab.

We plan on doing a sort of 'Clover Chronicle' once it's installed and will post how we're dialing in the coffees, etc. If you're using any of our coffees in a Clover and have some settings you'd like to share with us, please email them to jamin@cafeimports.com (they'll be kept for our internal use only). Thanks!

Next,
Thought I'd share with you some pictures of the computer lab in Huehue that the purchase of our Rio Azul helps to fund.

If you've not purchased this coffee in the past, you'll find it shows floral, sweet, chocolate notes.

And, finally, wanted to share with you the good news that our Organic RA El Salvador Santa Teresa was recognized at the RA Breakfast at the SCAA. It scored an 88.25 (we scored an 89.1 on the preship). This is a great Bourbon coffee that is milled using thermal waters on the Santa Teresa Estate. Check it!
