Stumptown Now Offers Private Labeling?

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Mike

Remember when Stumptown and Ninth Street Espresso broke up? When Ninth Street Espresso, Stumptown’s first and highest-profile partner in New York, switched to Intelligentsia beans last month, it caused a small uproar. Ninth Street’s owner, Kenneth Nye, says bloggers made too much of it; he simply wanted to get back to proprietary blending, which Stumptown [...]

Gwilym is Not a Coffee Nazi

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Mike

Ah yes, the “I’ve got years of experience” fallacy. Reminds me of the Seinfeld finale: “I don’t come down to where you work, and knock the license plate out of your hands”. Or maybe the Jerk Store episode? Either way Gary clearly demonstrates that he doesn’t know anything about Gwilym (or coffee).

La Colombe Opening Decaffeination Plant in Philly

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Mike

Curious… “Ultimately, Carmichael said he’s starting the project because he feels he can make a better decaffeinated product than the ones currently available. He plans on using a modified proprietary version of the Swiss Water Process (currently only used in one plant in the world) called the Philadelphia Water Process.

Illy Says K-Cups Eliminate Waste

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Mike

“Increasing demand for coffee sold in single-cup packets may trim bean consumption as the servings help eliminate “waste,” according to Illycaffe SpA.” Oh, they mean less coffee will be sold. They’re not talking about all the extra packaging that fills the landfills. Carry on then! [Single-Cup Coffee Cuts ‘Waste,’ Lowering Bean Demand, Illy Says - [...]

Truth is I’m not a huge fan of the letter grade system, but this is pretty funny. Also, Nectar Coffee Shop? Bloomberg should try using The Scoop. [Mayors Favorite Coffee Shop Gets B Grade | NBC New York]

“We were only one of two accounts they had in New York three years ago,” says Nieto. “Now, they have over 100.” “Sometimes people see a name like Stumptown and assume it’s good, but that’s not true. I can make an awful cup of coffee with the greatest beans in the world because there’s so [...]

New Zealand Wants Credit for Coffee in NYC

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Mike

New Zealand and Australia can fight over the Flat White all they want. But the truth is that New Yorkers don’t really care. When you come into the cafe and order one the only thing you’re proving is that you once lived somewhere else. Which is probably also true for the person serving you, and [...]
